let's blame it on mary's batteries being poopoo because i dont want to admit that i'm not sophisticated enough to figure out how to work this thing...

...and anyway, even though i know you don't need batteries to put photos into a computer, i'm going to just play it off like we can't get it done without them. yeah! that's the way it is! no batteries = no postings of pics onto mary's blog until she gets back to NC and sorts out all the wonderful shots into a flickr album and we can gaze uopn them with awe and wonder. oooooh. ahhhhh.

other than that, here's the big update. ever hear of a game back in the 80's called "run yourself ragged" that was this weird conglomeration of board game and obstacle course and mousetrap-esque oddness? that's what is going on around here. it's crazy. it's freaky. it's super duper fun! we haven't even written this week because we're having so much fun getting sauced up like crack whores. oh wait. i mean... because we're out getting souvenirs. okay fine. so the truth is that we're dorking out and eating like teenage boys on a weight gain plan while pointing "oooh, loookeee!" just about everywhere we go. in between outings we veg out in pajamas and watch bad tv. yep, it's a great vacation.
