...are glorious.
I hope you're enjoying yours.
I've gotten the paint scraped off the windows (I think I've typed scrapped a couple of times), we went to a house-warming party for friends, we had Big Sunday Breakfast, and we played a couple games of Cribbage.
It's time to watch some Formula 1 racing and enjoy the evening.

things I've neglected to blog about
I've neglected to mention a few things, so I'll use today's post to let you know what you've been missing.
I crocheted another blanket. Pictures will follow once it's a) finished and b) given to the recipient.
Irony is having almost two entire weeks of 80 degree weather, but no tires on the Corvette and the day the tires are put on the car, the weather turns rainy and chilly. Good thing we have the rest of spring and summer.
There are two weeks until Easter. As to keep myself humble I did not talk about what I gave up for Lent. But to explain any irrational behavior that might occur, it was sugar. I gave up sugar, mostly in sweets form. Again, I will mention the 80 degree weather we had and my insatiable craving for ice cream. I did go buy a Shamrock Shake last Friday and stick it in the freezer to be enjoyed after Easter. I think it will keep. I did that a few years ago when Sami purchased shakes for our Bible study and no one else liked them as much as us. I brought one of them home and stuck it in the freezer. That was the year I found out what happens when you drink two Shamrock Shakes in two days. Let's just say the green dye dyes more than just the shake.
The 2012 Formula 1 season is under way. We just finished watching the second race in Malaysia. Thank goodness for the internet; because of a rain delay our dvr didn't record the entire race.
And the last thing I neglected to mention is that Juliette celebrated her twelfth (or thereabout) birthday last Saturday.
Now it's time to go take a ride in the Corvette!

F1 2011 season
I'm not a huge sports fan. I like hockey (Go Red Wings!), baseball (Go Cubs!) and football (Go Lions, Colts, and... whoever else I feel like rooting for -never the Cowboys). I like soccer, but never watch it. I like the Olympics which is every two years.
The one thing we don't miss are the Formula One races, aka F1. This is more of a "European" sport [racing] than American. "We Americans" are more in love with Nascar, which frankly I don't understand at all. And yes, I did grow up in Indiana where basketball and racing are religions (separate just like Catholicism and Protestantism).
In college, my good friend Jesse (male) introduced me to F1. Who knew three years later when I met Bill that we would find a common interest in Formula 1. It's not like Indy racing or Nascar in that the circuits are complex, not just four left-hand turns many hundreds of times. F1 has lots of rules (which honestly does make it complicated especially because the Stewards can change the every year -which they do), but there have also been many advances in racing and cars in general due to the technology from F1.
I could go on about the technology, how we saw a race live in Indianapolis and watched one of the cars crash right in front of us, how it's more of a gentleman's race, or how loud it is. But we've recorded the first race of the season (Australia) and it's time to watch it.
