my journey, destination unknown
After our leisurely lunch at Tavern on the Green, we headed (in the snow!) down to Broadway. Over everything else playing, the girls had chosen It’s Only A Play. Chloe would probably have enjoyed a musical more, but Camille appreciated the play within a play. And both girls were happy to see Rupert Grint perform…
Today is National Peanut Butter and Jelly Day. Chloe was not feeling well this morning and came home from school mid-morning. I worked and cleaned and then read and napped since I wasn’t feeling very well either. Camille got home from school and took a nap too. Rob got home form work and picked up…
Feeling melancholy at the moment. Missing the years where the girls and I were on the road as much as we were home. I love hitting the road, heading off on a new adventure. But now that they are both in school and getting older, we have more obligations and commitments, and less time to…
Today is April Fools’ Day and The Birthday of Sliced Bread and National Sourdough Bread Day. Had my second photography class today; we learned about ISO and shutter speed. Stuff I know about, but nice to learn how others describe and use them. On the way home, I stopped at Petco and Publix to stock…
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. March’s main theme was House. As I…
Today is Bunsen Burner Day and World Backup Day. I spent a few hours at the Red Cross today, getting the credit cards all ready for the bank switchover. Hopefully it will go smoothly! I spent the evening working while the girls did homework, Chloe practiced flute, and Camille read. Rob got home at 7:30….
Almost a year and a half have passed since I (re)started my a Happiness Project. While this Happiness Project of mine seems to be a tyrant at times, it has been serving its purpose, freeing up some time for me to pursue my personal wish list AND helping me actually move forward on that list….
Today is Pencil Day and National Doctor’s Day. Woke to pouring rain. My perfect kind of day – we have been promised so many rainy days in the last few weeks and haven’t had much of any. Unfortunately for my work, the skies cleared up mid-morning. When the rain stopped, I walked over to the…
We celebrated none of the week 13 holidays; I guess I got busy with my new photo class and had too many meetings!! I’ll get some in this week, for sure. Coming up this week: 30: Pencil Day and National Doctor’s Day 31: Bunsen Burner Day and World Backup Day April: 1: April Fools’ Day…
Today is National Lemon Chiffon Cake Day and Palm Sunday. I managed to sleep in until 7:30, then read for a while. Phelix and I headed out to Arabia for a morning walk. He was a great pup, not bothering at all with the dogs we saw. At home, I took a short nap. Chloe…
Today is Eggsibit Day and National Black Forest Cake Day. I headed out to a meeting at the Red Cross for the morning. When I got home, the girls were up and had done most of the chores. We then headed out to Claire and Sally’s to gather up the kids to go to laser…
Today is Quirky Country Music Song Titles Day and National Spanish Paella Day. After a morning of work, I joined Amy for lunch at the Square Pub. Rob headed to Florida from work. In the late afternoon, Chloe and Anna joined me at the flash mob reception to say goodbye to Lucia. In the evening,…
Another item on my NYC wish list was to take the girls to Tavern on the Green for lunch. More expensive than most places where we dine, we knew it was going to be a splurge. Watching the snow fall on the park as we ate our delicious meal was a perfect way to celebrate…
Today is Make Up Your Own Holiday Day and National Nougat Day. Chloe left early for her district band concert in Covington. I worked during the morning, then spent the afternoon at the Red Cross. Still a lot of work to be done, but getting closer! I got stuck in terrible traffic on the way…
Today is Old New Year’s Day and Waffle Day. After a typical early morning, I headed out for my first Photo 1 class at The Showcase School. I was nervous heading in, but ended up enjoying it and even learning a few things! Back at home, I had lunch, worked and took care of some…
Today is National Chocolate-Covered Raisin Day. I got up so early that I had time to exercise and take care of things before getting the girls up for school. I had a productive day at work and took a little time to walk to the post office and run other errands. In the late afternoon,…
Today is National Puppy Day and National Chip & Dip Day and World Meteorological Day. Back to a weekday routine. The girls got off to school. I worked a while then Phelix and I went to Arabia for a hike before the week truly gets crazy. In the afternoon, Chloe had friends over to help…
We celebrated a number of week 12 holidays, including St. Patrick’s Day and National Ravioli Day. Coming up this week: 23: National Puppy Day and National Chip and Dip Day and World Meteorological Day 24: National Chocolate-Covered Raisin Day 25: Old New Year’s Day and Waffle Day 26: Make Up Your Own Holiday Day and…
Today is World Water Day and National Goof Off Day. Rob and I got up very early to get to our posts for the Georgia Marathon. Soon after we returned home, soaking wet, Camille and Claire left for Pippin. Rob got us a pizza from DaVinci’s for lunch and worked on Legos. Chloe and Rob…
Today is National French Bread Day. I got up early, took care of things around the house, then headed out with Phelix for a quick hike at Arabia. He was great on the trail, but then barked at two of our neighbors in our parking deck. Argh! I headed right back out to go to…
