San Diego Trip - Oct!

MacMadame is going to San Diego for the weekend in October. It's kind of a long story... she was going to this event on Sat. but it was canceled but now there is a different event on Sunday that is even better in one way.

But a lot of the details are up in the air... if she pulls it all together, she's going to meet Chrissie Wellington!

New car!

I got my new car! It's a Toyota RAV4 and it's purty. It's "Pacific Blue" with a gray interior. Limited trim with a back-up camera, leather seats (heated!), dual climate control, hands-free bluetooth, etc., etc.

I actually wanted the Sports trim, but it didn't come in leather.

The car is really for Herbie, my bike. She's tired of being knocked into the bike rack every time I take her some place.

School starting up

Mini-Mac and her friends are so excited that school is starting that they can hardly contain themselves. They keep posting things like "two more days" as their FaceBook status and squeeing about seeing each other again.

MacMadame is more in "where the heck did the summer go?" mode. It seems like they just got out of school a few weeks ago. Not that I'm not happy to have Mini-Mac back in school. But I wanted to get more done this summer.

MacBoy still not in college

So MacBoy's college plans hit a snag. He completed all the requirements to get in. But then he couldn't find any classes he wanted to take that weren't already full. So now he's going to wait until the Spring semester to start.

In the meantime, he's going to keep looking for a job.

MacBoy is going to college

I can't believe it. I kind of figured this day would come, but I figured it would take longer.

He's going to start the Fall semester on Aug. 31st at Ohlone College, which is a community college right here in Fremont. He can ride his bike to it.

The plan is to take some courses that interest him and get his General Ed requirements out of the way, then transfer to a 4-year university at a later point.

New iPhone!

I replaced my iPhone today. They wanted me to spend $500 on it! But we finagled something and I got it for the normal "upgrade" price. But now Mr. Mac can't upgrade his for another two years. Poor baby.

Mini-Mac is back from camp

Mini-Mac had a good time at camp. She informed me she got married four times and divorced three and remarried one. Or something like that. She and her friends would do that in pre-school but the boys were marrying the girls. Okay, one boy married two girls, so it was still not mainstream. But apparently the in thing with the tweeners these days is to marry other girls. I'm not sure what to make of that. It probably explains Zac Efrom and Dave Archulleta though.
