My husband and I both have the whole week off — with the added bonus that our son will be in school for three of the days! We don’t have any big plans, but we do have some fun stuff in the works. For example, we’re going to catch a matinée of Spider-Man 3 tomorrow and then head off to the driving range to hit a couple buckets of balls before going to our favorite restaurant for lunch. We don’t have our own golf equipment anymore, so we’ll have to borrow some clubs from friends before we go (which shouldn’t be a problem).
Anyway, I’m really looking forward to spending the next few days with my husband. It’s been a long time since we’ve been able to relax on our own without having dogs, our son, or other people to tend to. I can’t wait!



The Chicago Bears drafted tight end Greg Olsen out of Miami with their first round (31st overall) pick on Saturday. I haven’t been following team news much during this offseason, so I didn’t really know what they were looking for in this draft. It’s good to see them switch it up and make offense a priority after the past couple drafts that have emphasized the D.
The first round of the 2007 NFL draft has been under way for some time now. The biggest surprise of the day so far has to be the fact that Brady Quinn, a player that many people thought would be selected in the top 10 for sure, and probably in the top 5, plummeted all the way down to #22. Quinn was picked up by the Cleveland Browns, who previously passed on him with the #3 pick.
