Voting
Voter #633 at my polling place, ballot cast at 9:30 am. Chris went shortly after the polls open and found a long line, but our polling place is pretty efficient and he got through quickly. We had a conference for Hazel this morning (she’s all good), and I went after that and found no line …
quick bit of Costco love
Last year, I bought prescription sunglasses for Zoe and I at Costco. On Friday, I wore them out and about while running errands. I couldn’t find them on Saturday. On Sunday, I noticed a crumpled black object by my car’s back tire. My heart fell before I event picked it up. I knew immediately what …
Sweet dreams
Zoe called out for me in the middle of the night last night. I ran up the stairs, bathrobe hastily thrown on to see what was the matter. “I had a dream mommy” she tells me quietly, “a dream about flowers and lots of roses and we could smell them! Was that a good dream? …
pictures!
I’m not feeling up to writing much (and I’m pretty sure I’ve already lapsed on my post a week attempt), but I have some pictures I want to share from this month. First, Hazel’s baptism – my parents, Chris’s parents, and my brother and sister in law were able to make it, which was great. …
lists
On New Year’s day, I mentioned at dinner that people sometimes like to talk about things that they think or hope will happen in the next year. Since then, Zoe has been going around making lists of things that are to come in 2011. I should probably put scare quotes around the word “lists” in …
belated updates
I know I’ve been horrible at keeping this updated, I’m hoping to get back to something like a regular posting routine again. Until then, here’s some updates: We sold our house! Well, I guess technically we have a contract for our house. But! Buyers! Who want our house! Yay! We have a new house! Although …
20 years ago
A friend and I were talking the other day, and realized that 1989 was 20 years ago. (Yeah, the math department may not be too pleased to find out that their librarian is not super fast at the subtraction – luckily mental calculations aren’t really required in librarianship. We know how to look up the …
the penguin and the butterfly
Zoe and I went to the opening of a nearby park. Silverwood park is along the shores of Silver Lake, a little ways north of us. The celebration included rocks that you could color with markers, buckthorn rounds to decorate, spinning demonstrations, the raptor center showing a kestrel and a red-tailed hawk, good food, music, …
messages that I will never send through facebook
I’m as big a fan of facebook as anyone, love that I can keep in touch with friends, get back in touch with old friends, get to know new friends. I’m pretty open on fb, but there’s still messages that I compose, sometimes even write, but I can never bring myself to click “Share.” Friend …
Crazy 8s
I was tagged by Coffeegrl for this, and it looks like another good way to get me out of my posting slump. Actually, this is kind of hard. Eight things I am looking forward to: 1. The end of the school year. I like the change of pace once we hit summer. 2. Our CSA …
