Spring cleaning, Day 2 : More bedroom work and some craft box work too. After work, I went to volunteer at the Red Cross for a few hours. As our special treat, Chloe and I went to “The Fault in Our Stars”. I won free tickets to a pre-release showing — since it doesn’t open

Our first Monday of Summer Break! We planned to use the first week for doing a good spring cleaning around the condo – a variant of our old “Room of the Week”. The girls tackled their closet, dressers and other disaster areas on their room. For a break, we walked over to Fellinis, dropping Chloe’s

While Rob went kayaking, the girls and I had a bit of a “get things done”/decompression day at the cabin. I made a small dent in my to-do list. Camille made macaroons (a day late). Chloe played with her new phone. After a quiet day, we headed home to Decatur where we quickly unpacked.

First day of summer break! To celebrate, Camille, Rob and I went to the dentist for our teeth cleaning! While at the dentist, I won movie passes for “The Fault in Our Stars”. Back at home, we cleaned up and packed up and headed to the cabin for a short weekend in the woods.
photo friday: greek ferries
Once we had booked our “frequent flier” tickets on Delta (maybe our last now with their new oppressive rules), we moved onto the actual planning of our time in Greece. In addition to time in Athens, my top priorities were Knossos (on Crete, not Cyprus) and Santorini. How to get to these islands? In what

Last day of school! To celebrate, I took Camille to see the X-Men movie after I got home from volunteering at the Red Cross.
photo friday: junk food in greece
While we were in Greece, we mostly ate very good, fresh food and sometimes gourmet ice cream, there were times that we came across junk foods that we just had to try … or at least snap a photo of!

I got up early to help the girls get off to school and to work. In the afternoon, I headed off to the Red Cross to volunteer. Back at home, I had a quick dinner. Rob’s mom and her friend came by. I headed out to my CPR/First Aid class at the Fire Station while

Up early to get work done and to catch up from the day before. But kept having setbacks. First, an upgrade in PHP broke many of the wordpress installations, themes and widgets I installed, and I had to figure out how to clean up the mess. Then the HVAC guy came early – before Rob

I got up early to get a bunch of things done. Camille walked with me over to the courthouse. Mid-morning I was chosen for a jury panel. After a day of the lawyers questioning the jury panel, I was finally struck at 6:30. While I was on one break, Camille walked by me on her

Phelix was a tired boy today! Sleepaway camp always wears him out. The girls headed off to school. I worked during the morning, then did carpool in the afternoon. In the evening, I tried to catch up on various projects, but was too worn out and tired to get very far on any of them.

After breakfast, we broke down the camp, loaded the car and raced home. We made it just in time to go to Little Shop to hear Tony DiTerlizzi speak and sign his latest book for us. He even drew a fairy R2D2! I picked up groceries, then Phelix, then Rob at the rental car place.

We had a lovely day at LEAF. Exploring, listening to music, playing. Chloe participated in the teen poetry slam. For dinner, we got a pizza – always love getting a pizza from the pizza oven in the middle of the field. We ended up chatting with the president of the LEAF board. Chloe and I

I woke early, but read for a while and fell back to sleep until much later. I hung out at the campsite for a while, then went to get lunch. In the afternoon, it started to rain, and I took a nap. In the evening, it was drizzly while I waited for Rob and the

I got up early and saw the kids off to school. I worked until noon, then packed up the car and hit the road. When I got to Black Mountain, I ended up waiting in line to check in for an hour. By the time I got to Lake Eden, many people had already set

School and work. After work, I headed to the Red Cross to volunteer for a few hours. On the way home, I stopped at Trader Joe’s to pick up Indian food for dinner. Camille helped me with chores. Rob got home in time to get Chloe, then we all had dinner and did chores and

School and work; a very long work day for me as I try to get ahead before this weekend’s adventure. An afternoon of friends and homework. I worked on my classwork for my Coursera class “Maps and the Geospatial Revolution”. Rob got home and continued to work. Chloe went to eat downstairs, but came home

Back to work and school, but only after Rob, Camille and I walked to the courthouse to renew Camille’s passport. I drove carpool to gymnastics, then picked up groceries for our “Cinco de Mayo” dinner. Camille brought home an invitation to the Academic Awards Ceremony at school. In the evening, Rob picked up some camping
