Anna stayed until mid-afternoon, doing craft projects with Chloe. Rob and I went to Lowe’s to pick up the last bits for the project; he spent the afternoon installing the new under counter backsplash.
judging.
We all do it, don’t we? You see someone do something that goes against your *style* or convictions and you judge. I do it far too often. I try to stop myself every time. That person has a reason for doing what they do. Call me naive. I don’t mind. I know I am, and

I got the kids off to school, walked the dog, cleaned and worked until it was time to meet Amy for lunch. After lunch, Phelix and I went for a hike at Arabia. Not long after we got home, the teens and tweens descended. When Rob got home, he took the tweens bowling.

After an earlier morning flight from ATL to LGA and a short taxi ride to Prospect Heights, we dropped our bags at our home away from home for the next few days. As it wasn’t quite ready for us, I managed to drag the family right back out for our first adventure. Being a lovely

I had a busy day with taking Chloe to school, a meeting at the Red Cross and work. In the evening, Camille made enchilada soup, then we left to go to the Alliance Theater to see “Tuck Everlasting”.

We made hash browns in the waffle iron — Perfect! We took care of things around the house, then went for a hike at Arabia. The girls and I made a tortilla soup for dinner – delicious!

A day mostly spent doing things around the house. Not so exciting.
cooking.
I’ll easily admit it; I’m no chef. I have visions of making lovely meals. I purchase cookbooks in hopes of finding inspiration. Over the past year, I’ve been managing to get dinner on the table more and more often despite our busy schedules. Not only that, we’ve been branching out from rotating through the three

I had a morning meeting then had to pick Chloe up from school as she was not feeling well. Lots of teens came over in the evening. I went to a CAPS reception down the hall in the amenities room.

Brooklyn! It’s amazing how this place has changed over the past few years. We even hear that it is harder to find a place in Brooklyn than in the UES these days …. It seems strange to claim this vibrant place as my birthplace, but I guess my parents, as always, were ahead of the

I worked and then made veggie meatloaf, armored turnips, salad and blondies for dinner. Claire ate with us, then we walked her home.
taking the easy road.
The easy way out. Too often easy is looked down upon. But sometimes, easy works. One of my goals in my Energy and Empower year is to get out on longer walks more often. So far this year, I’ve made the effort to take some baby steps towards that goal. I’ve loaded Phelix up into

After a productive morning and a visit from the cleaning people, I had some time to take Phelix out for a short hike at Arabia Mountain before my two afternoon/evening meetings…
Project43++ aka Project44
Earlier this week, I turned 44. Another year has gone by. Like last year, I feel as though I didn’t move ahead enough on my goals. However, I have moved ahead, far ahead… What I have managed to accomplish in the past year and a half makes me proud. I still have a ways to

A bit of a sick day – I had muscle aches and cough and got a headache later. Chloe came home from her day at the food bank too sick to go to her flute lesson. Rob was still not feeling well. Blech.

After packing up the yurt, heading home and unpacking, I spent the rest of the day taking care of various chores. Rob came home from Mexico, sick.
