He's the Cheese to My Macaroni*

4 years ago today I met Steve. Well, I "met" him through Match or Yahoo or both a few weeks prior and we did the emailing back & forth thing for a while to 'get to know' each other...but it was 4 years ago today that we met up for a beer at a little bar/cafe called Nutty Megs in downtown Duluth.

Our relationship has far outlasted Nutty Megs but it was our starting point. We drank beer & chatted and it was easy. It was so wonderfully easy. And he was cute. We closed the place down and headed next door to Pizza Luce for some more beer & conversation. We closed that place down too.

When we left, we hugged and made a tentative date for two days later to go cross-country skiing...we did and the rest, as they say, is history.

I love you Steve! I'm so grateful that you came into my life.

*or maybe I'm the cheesy one...

"...gotta do it like this like Chachi and Joanie because she's the cheese and I'm the macaroni..."

You just reminded me of my favorite Beastie Boys song! I'm sure that's what you were going for.

Hey congrats! What a cool dating experience. Your hearts will always be in Duluth!

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.
