On The Way Home, This Car Hears My Confessions

Guess where I am? Somewhere I would rather not be on my Saturday afternoon, and no it ain't the gyno's office. It's my In-Laws' house!! Yay me! They are having computer issues. They tend to have major compy issues that require Collin's expertise at least once a month... Coincedence? I think not. I think I would almost rather be getting a yearly exam than being here... I love them, but I had to live here for the last three years, I think I could go like six months before thinking, "Hey, we should go visit your parents."

We went grocery shopping this morning, and then went and parked at the Capital and walked to the Saturday Market. It was nice, starting to get warm, but not too bad yet. The fountain at the Capital came on right after we parked and I was able to get some nice pictures. You can see the rainbows in the spray. I bet it'd look awesomer (it is a word if it's said enough) if I had MY camera that I want....
Collin just whooped my ass at thumb wrestling and I even used all my fingers and both hands! I also got some awesome pictures of some of the flowers at the Capital. I love the yellow one the most, it just seems to glow. I used it for my profile background on MySpace. And the pink one is the desktop background on my laptop.
Then as we were making our way through the Capital garden or whatever you want to call it we came across a bum's abandoned bed. At least that's what we assumed. I mean, when else do you find newspapers on or around a bench? See this was the bum's blanky.
And this was the bum's bed. And just so you know, the bench is made out of 100% recycled materials.
We had fun at the market, we will probably start going more often. We got these awesome cheddar bagels, and a fresh baguette at this one stand ran by Croissant & Co. And then at this other stand I bought this awesome red glass circle that had the Chinese symbol for Love on it. I found it funny when one of the people running the booth told me that the piece I chose is the hardest to make. Love is the hardest to make... Interesting.

Well, Collin is almost done fixing his parents computer. To fill the remaining time I think I am going to stare blankly at Windows Media Player's visualization (I have it on Sleepy Spray, my favorite) while I listen to Dashboard Confessional.
