Do you ever have just one of those weekends? A lot happens, new experiences surface, even a life milestone is accomplished? Well, last weekend was one of those. Lets start with the milestone. The kid finally got her ears pierced! She has always been set against getting them done. We would ask and hint and … Continue reading A Milestone Weekend
The crazy, busy week is over and now I’m exhausted. Just in time for more to come. Last week we had Mother’s Day on Sunday, our wedding anniversary on Thursday, and my wife’s birthday on Saturday. Lots of gifts to plan for and buy. Cards and gift bags and coordination. Sprinkled in between our daughter … Continue reading Just Looking Around
In a couple days it will be me and my wife’s anniversary. We try to give each other gifts each year that align with the traditional or modern anniversary gift list. Last year the item was china. I gave her these large asian noodle bowls made of china and she gave me a rose bush … Continue reading A Full Time Job
I want to continue to recap our recent trip to New Orleans, but I’ve been having a hard time getting my thoughts together on the second installment. My mind has been in this fog of pollen induced dreamy existence. I need to get back into more frequent posts, though, so here it goes. Back to … Continue reading Dreamy Craziness
Let’s play some jazz. Mix it up and see what happens. New Orleans. That’s pretty much it in New Orleans. Mix it up, scat, take some chances, and see what happens. A lot happened on our recent jazz session there last week. Let’s take some time, slow it down, listen to music, and enjoy the … Continue reading Jazz it Up
The kid got the results of her recent orchestra seating audition and they were pretty good. She moved up 9 chairs to 9th chair in violin 1 for the final concert of the season. We were all pretty excited because she had been working hard to improve on her last audition results. Now she has … Continue reading Results, Risk, and a Recommendation
I got a run in today at lunch to make it 22 miles this month. Not too shabby – thanks to our new treadmill. Today is one of those lessons. I really didn’t feel like running. I had a tough time a couple of days ago and had to finish early, and was thinking about … Continue reading I Wanna be in 5th Grade Again
It’s here! Spring is finally here. We have a poppy blooming in our garden. The weather is getting warmer. There are bugs flying around. The grass needs to be cut. All the signs that spring must be here. How much longer before we start to hear – ugh, it’s so hot outside. I’ll take it, though. … Continue reading It’s Here
Ouch. My tooth has been bothering me lately. I may have a cavity. Or I may just have a sinus thing going on. Sometimes it hurts in my tooth, sometimes in the one above it. Other times it doesn’t bother me at all. Sometimes it gets all – yikes – when something cold hits my … Continue reading Falling Apart
Yesterday our daughter went to spend the weekend with her friend, which left us with a date day. A whole day and night just for ourselves. Since it was St. Patrick’s Day weekend, the one thing on the agenda was to go out to O’Connor Brewery for their big St Paddy’s party. Bands, green, food trucks, green, dark beer, and green beer. But first… Continue reading “All the Green”
