Naturally Optimistic

So another weekend has come and gone. And BOY was it a great one. (I am being sarcastic). It wasn't necessarily "bad" it was just...."meh." Friday night: Um....I got home late from grocery shopping so therefore we ate late and had a very hungry & crabby baby. Fun! I then made 2 pans of lemon cheese bars for Steve's Uncle's memorial service on Saturday. Saturday: Rush rush rush! Try to get all three of us clothed, bathed, fed, bars cut, FIL picked up, etc for said memorial service. Spent most of the day there and you know what? There are no ramps from the parking lot to the entrance at Marshall School (the memorial was in the chapel there). There is handicapped parking on top, but if you're like me and just have a stroller, you're f'd. And there's lots of snow & ice in the parking lot and if you're also like me - you're carrying 2 pans of bars, a platter on which to put them, a baby, diaper bag & purse. Your husband is...

Today was good...well, we started off slowly (as we usually do) but managed to leave the house and drop off Miss Dahlia at Grandpa's house and go for a lovely 2 hour hike. The weather was perfect - 30 degrees or so, no wind, really nice. We hiked from Lester Park (along 7 Bridges Road) to Hawk Ridge. It was very nice. We would've skied today but the trail conditions are crap due to the ice and no fresh snow. I was fine with walking though. It felt really really good. Tonight Steve's brother came over and we're making a pork stir fry for dinner. It's 7:25 and I'm alternatively starving and exhausted...bed sounds good about now but I will try to soldier on through at least 9:30 (Dahlia's next feeding). Tomorrow - "brunch" with my honey (at home), visiting a great aunt, watching a bit of the SuperBowl while eating chili-cheese nachos and possibly* going to a movie. I love weekends.
