I’m busy. Busy packing for two weeks away from home…in two distinct climates…for two unique purposes. Saturday I will be picked up by my second family (correction: third family if you count the Eccles as second, but I kind of consider them my real family in addition to my blood family. But I digress.)–the Austins–are picking […]
The One with the Delay Due to Exhaustion
The weekend was fabulous. Fast. Filled. and Fabulous. Mom arrived around 4:30pm Friday after Kevin and I had spent a nice afternoon at home and we whisked her off with us to Kevin’s family’s house. We had a great dinner with them with good conversation and a perfect Mother’s Day/Birthday gift exchange. Both of the […]
The One with the Raindrops on…Dandilions
What a great week this has turned out to be. Despite all the nose blowing that has to happen for the first couple hours after waking up, I’m over this whole crappy illness thing. Yay for that. Oh, and side note. My favorite thing is happening–Sunshine while raining. Yay for sun. Anyways… I’ve had some […]
The One that’s All Better. Mostly.
Today was a complete turnaround from yesterday. (Well not completely. Just to clarify, the afternoon taking it easy with my husband was much needed. My body has thanked me for the time of rest by giving me a great “today”.) I woke up with a scratchy-barely-there voice thanks to sleeping all night with my […]
The One with a Rant of Sorts
I’m home. When I should be at church. *sigh* I hate having to decide to miss church. I have responsibilites. I have connections. I have peoples’ expectations. But I also have a 7 day flu or sinus infection or a combination of the two. Just when I think I’m back to normal, BAM! it knocks […]
The One with the Rainy Bread
Today is much improved. Besides the ceaseless rain and the inexplicable intestinal pains and a slight sore throat, I’m doing much better. Thanks for thoughts and prayers. Yesterday afternoon went well too as Kevin was home for much of it. :D Not only did he bring me home a McDonald’s hot fudge sundae (*squeal […]
The One with the Blah
Yesterday was fabulous. Today is…not so much. Yesterday was warm and sunny. Today is chilly and rainy. Yesterday I hung laundry out on the line, dusted & vacuumed, took a long wonderful walk with Amanda and her dog Libby (we’re planning many more lovely walks next week!), and spent the best evening with my husband […]
The One with a LOT
What a wonderful weekend! Friday I spent most of my day basking in the sunlight (and subsequently burning my skin). When Kevin arrived home, I was just pulling the homemade pizza from the oven. We enjoyed our dinner on our breezy back porch for the first time since moving here. How glorious! After that, we […]
The One with the Real Life Musical
Britt sent the link to this youtube video to me and let me tell you, I was impressed. This is so cool and super fun. In just 2 practice sessions, over 200 dancers performed a “spontaneous” rendition of The Sound of Music’s “Do, Re, Mi” in Belgium’s central train station. I’m not gonna lie, I […]
The One with a Crazy Productive Day
For those of you who may be confused by my lingo when I say “crazy productive” I don’t mean crazy, productive day, I mean a very/super productive day. Ok, now that we have that cleared up. I gave my knees a “balistic” break from Jillian (they were getting really really sore) and hopped on […]
