Average Day

Well, another day has come and gone.

Last night's dinner was a success. The food & wine were enjoyed. The dessert was gobbled up (brought by T) and people were happy & content. Just how I like it. Afterwards we watched home videos that Steve shot for P when he was in Japan in 2001. I love seeing Steve then. He is much handsomer (is that a word?) now that then and seeing him in his pre-30's world gives me an insight to this wonderful sweet incredible man. *sigh* I'm all mushy over him.

Today was extremely boring at work. I'm working on a report that makes my eyeballs bleed & my brain melt. It sucks. And makes me fall asleep at my desk (no kidding!) and type really strange emails to friends. It's bizarre. Oh well. After work I visited a friend in the hospital who just had his knee reconstructed and is recovering, then off to the Y for Salsa Cardio - which was canceled because the teacher didn't show up which was HIGHLY annoying because I was sooooo looking forward to it. So, I rode the recumbant bike instead and read my very outdated copy of Backpacker which I keep in my gym bag (Kermit the Frog gym bag that is) just for these type of emergencies. Then I ran home...am waiting for Steve and then we'll go up to the church for our first meeting with the minister. I'm kind of nervous, actually. Weird. I've never done this before. eeeeek.

Now I must take leftovers to my beloved who is at the rehab center and hungry so...ta ta!

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

I figured it out....

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.
