I just realized I haven't posted about the Indy 500 last weekend. We had really terrific seats this year, almost on the finish line. We were right behind Marco Andretti's and Eddie Cheever's pits. The only problem was that we were facing the sun, and this year it was hot and cloudless. Other than the fact that I was bordering on heat exhaustion a couple of times, it was a terrific race. My camera isn't quick enough to get cars moving at 200+ mph, but here are the starting and ending flags.




This weekend we had a ballet to attend. One of the dances was set to music by Moby. I know it sounds weird, but I think that is the first time I ever heard Moby, and you know what? -- I liked it! (Guppy will be so ashamed!)

And I have to share one of the best household tips I've ever found: fold your clothes to the depths of the dresser drawer and put them in the drawer on end, not piled one on top of the other. Now I know you are thinking what I thought -- how the heck do you get lacy little underthings to stand on end? You may have to use some support (no pun intended), especially when you are filling the drawer, but it is so worth it. Had I done this organization first, I would not have run out to buy more lacy little underthings. I would have known the good stuff was buried under the stuff I don't like. You can fit a lot more in the drawer, too. My sock drawer went from mixed-up colors, two deep and overflowing, to columns organized by color -- and not one of the columns reaches all the way to the back of the drawer. I didn't throw anything out; this just gives you a lot more space.

Off to pack my suitcase for this week's trip. Have a great Monday, everyone.
