Oom Pah Poop!

Hmph.

I am seriously pissed off at myself. I *claim* to be super organized what with the vacation binder and the daily to-do lists and blah blah blah. Grrrr....

Today after work my "to do" was:

Wash dishes,
bake zucchini bread
make dinner
pack dry goods for camping & supplies
make zucchini loaf #2
eat
knit
Rehearsal 8pm

I did all of those things - several rows (which now I think I have to take out because I'm SO TOTALLY CONFUSED), being very smug and proud of myself all the while and I go to rehearsal. As I walk in the theatre 15 minutes *early* I notice that EVERYONE IS ALREADY ON STAGE....I panic, I throw down my stuff and high-tail it up there. I'm confused. We're doing a new song and dance. The director sees me and says "Oh, you are here. Well, that's too bad because I was going to put you in lots of little dancy bits but now you'll just have to stand there."

:-(

Apparently I've been living today like it's THURSDAY. Tonight's rehearsal was at 6:45. I was an hour late And a hUGE ass.

All in all they were pretty cool about it and I picked up everything I needed learn from castmates (I mean really, we're in a pub, we're ruffians, we're drunk, we're singing. Not that difficult). I'm just bummed because for all of my EGO tantrums of last week I go and fuck this up. Fuck up actually getting more things to do and being in dance because....

I AM AN ASS.

I'm so frustrated right now. I know this is karma biting me in the butt but it hurts and I don't like it.

And now, the knitting? Holy crap. There's P2 tog and K1 YO 6 times and I'm still confused as to WHICH WAY THE YARN SHOULD COME FROM. And I'm using circular needles so that doesn't help (but thanks for the suggestion) and now I can't even tell up from down and I want to rip it all out and start over just for practice but I won't but I should. Hmph. I am pouting huge over this and needed to let it out I guess. I'll be going back to my "mentor" tomorrow and hoping that she can make heads or tails over what I've done. *sigh*

Alright - time now to hit the hay, crack my book and forget out this ridiculous night.

PS - Tomorrow's Thursday, right?!??!

I should've done this a year ago....

A pandemic game time & conversation (via Zoom)   Well, we're about 13 months into this pandemic and I should've been back blogging then. I mean, I was home an awful lot. I could've done it. But I didn't. I wrote in my actual journal but that's a crazy mish-mash of stuff. This would've been fun to keep just pandemic stuff. Ah well, live and learn. I'll be ready for the next one (no, no, I won't). It's been a year...a year of ups and downs; of being laid off and re-hired; of wondering what to do with my life and starting grad school. We got fish, we got two kittens. What a year.  Kids have mostly been troopers but there have been some tough days. August went back to hybrid last fall, then everything stopped for a while and went back to 5 days a week in February - hooray! Dahlia finally got to start hybrid in.....February? (I can't remember) and then started back in person 4 days a week...but after her first 4 days she was identified as a "

Penguin Shenanigans

Image
For our 2020 Winter Reading program, there wasn't an overall theme. I decided to create my own theme. And the Penguins took over the library! I printed out real-to-life sized photographs of penguins...an Emperor, a Fairy, a Chinstrap and a Galapagos Penguin to be exact. I put them on the walls in one area. My hope was that kids would stand next to them and measure up - and they sure did! It put a smile on my face every time. Above each penguin I included some facts. Usually where they lived, what they ate and any quirky stuff about them. It's always great to be able to provide a little learning opportunity along the way. We also included penguin voting. I always think it's fun to add a pre-math activity when I can. I made 4 buckets with a photo of each of the aforementioned penguins. Kids (& adults) were able to ask for a "voting token" (ie: a saved bottle cap) at the desk and then put it in the bucket of their choice. It was fun hearing t

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.
