so much for a relaxing sunday

we went to alexis' birthday party today, which was fun, despite the screaming children. she very much liked the bride dress ian and i got her, though it already fit her, which is disappointing. means she'll outgrow it in about 2.8 seconds. we drove back tonight so that we could have a day tomorrow where we don't do anything. except here's our list for tomorrow:

* pick up the lamps we're getting off craigslist.
* go look at the dinosaurs in west pasco.
* work out.
* drop by safeway and pick up an orchid, which are on sale.
* do ian's taxes.
* make a list of what we're spending our refund checks on.
* go to at&t.

ian's razr phone, which he bought a year and a half ago, is giving up the ghost. if he has it shut for long enough for the screen to go black, it doesn't re-illuminate until you turn the phone off and back on again. we're going in to see if it can be repaired, but there is a possibility that, when my tax refund comes in, we'll just replace it with an iphone. we were going to get them in august anyway, and there's no point in buying him a new phone now, and then again in august. it would be $200 cheaper in august (probably), but there's a possibility that a replacement phone to get him to august would be $200, and he'll end up with a phone he really likes. so why not?
