Pouty Lower Lip
I managed to catch this close-up shot with her
coming out of her pouty lower lip thing.
Priceless. 🙂

So I really don’t have a lot to say tonight, but that’s mostly because it’s getting late and I’ve been doing a lot of work throughout the day.

As promised, though, I’m doing this as a photo blog entry, mostly because I like pictures and this one seemed fitting. I happened to end the day at work on a rather bum note. It turns out that something I was working on (which works quite well, I might add) isn’t ultimately going to work out (without some modification) the way it was intended. The worst part about this is that the code for said part is third-party code which we’ve paid and licensed to use.

So, as if having something that isn’t quite what one intended it to be is one thing, but not being able to change any of that is quite another. So I put out a few emails to their support folk to see if we can get the situation resolved. I’m sure that in some way, shape, or form we can…but the fact that my last 20 minutes (of a ten-hour day) ended up that way kinda stains the entire day. Fortunately, however, several other items were wrapped up nicely throughout.

So that’s my own pouty lip service. 🙂

In other news, the car’s back to getting over 30 miles per gallon again. That’s partially due to the fact it’s warm outside again, but also because of other issues. For several months (namely throughout the cold months), it was tough to get much better than about 26mpg, but tonight I verified that after our last weekend trip, we were getting nearly 31. Not bad, considering that we actually had the air conditioner running during part of the trip and we also sat idle a lot more than normal (during stops to feed and change).

So that’s good news. Especially since I noticed the gas price in town jumped up (from 2.699) to 2.739 this morning. Not a huge jump, but still an increase. Ah well.

Anyway, until next time…
