Sunday!
Sunday I really just lazed about the house. I did some cleaning, but not nearly enough. The floor still has not been vacuumed this week, which is making me crazy...
But enough about that!
Yesterday was the JPL/Curiosity Landing! It was SO AWESOME! Did you watch it Dear Friend? Did you cry like a baby like I did? Ugh. I could not stop watching it! Even though my internet feed was glitchy and imperfect it was still incredible. I stayed up way too late because I just couldn't turn it off. In the end, I drifted off to sleep listening to the live feed, jumping up and down for joy in my head. It was such an awesome thing.
When I was a little girl, the first thing I remember wanting to be (besides a grizzly bear) was someone who worked for NASA. My dad promised me he'd make me my space suit by hand if I ever did it, which in hind sight seems kind of sarcastic, lol, but at the time it was the coolest thing he'd ever offered to do for me.
I felt like a little kid again watching the landing. Just full of awe, and pride, and reveling in the incredible amount of hard work that went into making that possible. If I had room in my apartment I would have been doing cartwheels. Uh-may-zing.
Hope your day is blissful! Miss your face!

Admittedly, I got a kick out of the fact that they had a guy with long hair and long beard there at JPL/Curiosity Landing in full view, considering the way that whole Apollo 13 thing played out.
