Weekend Update

Well, the weekend's come and gone and that sucks. Hmph.

Friday night I was solo so I rented Pride & Prejudice (the new one) and had a few beers while knitting...what weird combo. Saturday I putzed around - painting a ton of the kitchen (okay, painting cabinets SUCKS people - they take for frickin' ever). I also picked up 3 different pulls to see which I liked the most. I have decided and it was the cheapest one - yes! I cleaned too. Lots of painting & cleaning. I wanted it to be lovely & soothing when Steve got home.

Oh and I loved Pride & Prejudice. Loved it. It made me feel all romantic and happy. *sigh*

Saturday late afternoon Steve got home and we went for a nice hike at Chester Park. It was great - things are starting to pop up and green up and it was so nice to be outside with my honey! We got home late, ate late but that was okay. We drank wine & listened to some music that night. Very mellow and relaxing.

Sunday - putzing, errands, 1-year-old's b-day party, bike ride, movie. We watched Walk the Line which I also really enjoyed and now must get my hands on some old Johnny Cash music (I have some of the newer). But I could really use another cople days off as I'd like to be playing in the garden. I have a new pile of compost (so rich! and full of nutrients! and black!) and I'm dying to turn the soil and get things going. Alas, it's crappy and cold and windy today anyway so I don't want to be out there too bad anyway.

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.
