Today is International Tuba Day and National Two Different Colored Shoes Day and National Specially-abled Pets Day. After a quiet morning at home, Chloe headed to a birthday party and Rob went to help with a class on the river. Camille and I hung out at home taking care of things around the house.

I heard the initial call. From the very first, I knew this was no standard call. My heart hurt. I knew more than one life would be changed. While I tend to find solace in listening to the scanner, once in a while the news isn’t reassuring. Is it worth it? No idea. 99% of

Today is Holocaust Remembrance Day and National Truffle Day and National Homebrew Day and Free Comic Book Day. I got up early to be at the police department at 7am for roll call. Steve drove me over to Oakhurst as our assigned corners were two streets apart. The race was short and sweet, and I
happiness project: volunteer + misc (may)
Empower and Energy, Project 44 and the monthly projects in my Happiness Project … so many projects! In reality, they are all facets of the same project, guiding me to finish or give up old projects and move forward on the ones that are most important to me. April’s main theme was Cooking. As I

Today is May Day and Global Love Day and National Chocolate Parfait Day. A normal day of work and school. Camille brought home a bunch of friends to hang out. Chloe’s new (to her) phone came, and she and Rob went to set it up at the AT&T store. Chloe then went to Liz’s house

Today is International Jazz Day and National Raisin Day and National Oatmeal Cookie Day. After a few hours of work, I took Phelix out to Arabia for our quick hike. He just loves getting out there and smelling everything. When we got back, I worked more and then tackled my to do list. Chloe came

Today is National Blueberry Pie Day and Great Poetry Reading Day. Work, work, work. But I’m tackling things that I’ve been putting off for a long time … especially after having been given this quote on a conf call “My willingness to fail gives me the capacity to succeed.” In the evening, Chloe accompanied me

Today is National Prime Rib Day. Typical Monday, except that I managed to tackle a long standing item on my to do list. I have an idea that if I force myself to cross one “weighing down” item each day, I can improve my self-esteem a bit. It feels so good to know I’ve done

photo friday: high falls state park
As with MLK weekend 2014, we headed to a yurt at High Falls State Park. Not far from Atlanta, the park makes a perfect weekend getaway. The yurts are a comfortable home-away-from-home for a weekend. With heat, lights and electricity, we were comfortable (I remembered to bring my coffee pot….no going out in the cold

Today is National Cherry Cheesecake Day and National Picnic Day. Work and school. Chloe went to her third day of band camp. Camille had Latin Club. With a fridge full of leftovers, I did not feel like cooking dinner when everyone got home.

Today is World Creativity and Innovation Day. A good, productive day of work for me, which always helps me stay motivated to get the rest of the things done. I made tortellini soup for dinner, using the farm spinach. The girls are both stressed out from tests this week, so we had a quiet evening
chloe’s flute recital
Last spring, Chloe had a notion to start playing flute and join the middle school band. A kid wanting to take up a musical instrument? Great! And one that we already own (even if it is an old school flute from the 80’s)? Doubly great! The problem? Band at the middle school is a full
