Oooh, shiny

I am making the jump into the 3G world with my new phone, the MyTouch, reviewed here. That's even the color I got, "merlot" :-) I'm very excited, way more than I should be about a phone...it comes next week, so I'll be busy learning how to use it just in time to go to Hawaii where the 3G stuff won't work because they don't have a network there yet.

Mom and Aunt Mare left yesterday morning. We had a very busy trip. Highlights included a Ride the Duck trip around the city; Pike's Place Market with drinks at Kell's bar but no mini donuts; U Village shopping with dinner at the Ram; a day at Greenlake people watching; Mom and Aunt Mare's solo trip to the Space Needle; my graduation ceremony followed by a lovely picnic at Jay's office; and a brunch cruise on the Argosy around the Sound. Whew! I think everybody was pretty warn out by the end of the visit. Luckily the weather cooperated and it was pretty nice the whole time they were here. It continues to be warm and sunny, and there are actually supposed to be a wave of 95 degree days at the end of the week and through the weekend. I think I'm going to stay in and sit in front of a fan.
