The sky got all kinds of pretty while I was at my fire academy class this evening!

Last night, we explored the Team USA: Road to London setup on the square. Today at the concert, we got a better look, but it was TOO hot and there were TOO many little kids. Thanks to our central location, we chose to return late in the evening. At 7:30pm, the lines were short, and

On Wednesdays in May, the Blue Sky concerts at noon on the square are a welcome break from work. Camille and I had been to a couple, but today was the first time that Chloe was able to join us. We picked up some food and found a shady spot to listen to the jazz

normal bird behavior?
As Camille and I were walking back from Baby Kroger with our watermelon and corn, we happened across this woman who making some strange gestures. As it turns out, she was pointing out a bird drama going on over our heads. I too stopped in the middle of the sidewalk, mesmerized by the birds overhead.

While out for an evening stroll around the square, look who we spotted!

No Dumping … Labor Pickup … Never seen either of these occur in this spot on Commerce by the Callaway Building, but I’m sure there is some history there …

Of course, yesterday I posted about my low carb aspirations … and on my calendar today was the super-secret kickstarter pre-opening party at Revolution Donuts. I was NOT going to miss going to a tasting party at a place I had “invested” in. In order to help with my goal, Camille and I walked down

Project 41: June Goals
As I wrote just a few days after my 41st birthday, I have a list of goals for this coming year. Other than the big diet one, I thought that the goals are fairly attainable, especially since they weren’t specific. This was intentional; I wanted to concentrate on the main goal (losing weight) and slowly

Running power up the middle of a street must be quite a logistical challenge!

instagram: at the pool
Not only was today Chloe’s last day of school, but it was also opening day at our pool. The girls enjoyed swimming just down the hall!

photo friday: lucayan national park
Back in April when we were in the Bahamas for my sisters’ wedding, we didn’t have much time for exploring as tourists. Therefore, I was more than ready to jump in the car when my parents suggested a trip out to Lucayan National Park. While Grand Bahama Island is fairly small, the ride out to

I was lucky enough to ride along in this fire truck today … Such an awesome ride!!

moving day!
Not for us, but for the fire house. By a fun coincidence, it was also the day for my “Citizen Fire Academy” ride-along. When I arrived at the station, they were just moving in from their temporary home at the old Roly Poly up the street. Since I had expected to get to ride on

enjoying the slower pace
Now that I’m getting close to being caught up after having been (mostly) home for the month of May, I’m slowing down a little bit. Today I was finally back to living and not madly doing. And it felt great. I did not feel guilty about it for a single moment… I worked during the

instagram: we have a winner
On Wednesdays in May, Decatur presents “Blue Sky” concerts at lunchtime on the square. Camille and I headed over today with our chairs and lunch in order to take advantage of a lovely spring afternoon. I had Camille sign us up for the door prize; much to my surprise, she won a gift bag —

The sky was threatening this evening, but there was no rain falling to wash away the dust created by today’s destruction work.

ups and downs, going in circles
Two-thirds of the way through May, and I’m still trying to get caught up from our crazy April. I think I’m almost there. I once again believe that I can find balance. The big question is then, “How do I quickly regain balance, even when an event or serious of events throws me off balance?”

Gazoo got outside for a few minutes today … the workmen had left and the rain had washed away much of the dust on the bedroom balcony…. Poor kitty misses her jungle yard!

instagram: scaffolding (again)
The view out my window and of the approaching summer is not a pleasant one at the moment.
