my journey, destination unknown
Today is National Ravioli Day and National Quilting Day and Spring Equinox and Snowman Burning Day. Sick. Sick. Sick. Hoping it is just allergies, but I could barely move today. The girls came home after school for a few minutes, then Camille headed off to the play and Chloe headed off to a basketball game….
The ferry to Liberty Island also includes a stop at Ellis Island. At one point, both of my girls were interested in immigration, but not so much any more. I think we all used all of our enthusiasm up at Liberty Island. We enjoyed seeing Ellis Island, but we didn’t spend much time there. Camille…
Today is Swallow’s Return Day and National Chocolate Caramel Day. Took Chloe to school early for her Student Government meeting, then worked the rest of the day.

Today is National Artichoke Hearts Day. After a typical morning, Phelix and I headed out to Arabia for a quick hike. Back at home, I worked a bit more before reading some of Beautiful Ruins: A Novel by Jess Walter. When Chloe got home, we went to her Reiki appointment where I read the latest…

Today is Good Samaritan Day and Ear Muffs Day and Coconut Torte Day. A usual morning and a quiet work day. I walked Ozzie and Phelix in the early afternoon. Phelix gets so excited, which in turn makes Ozzie nervous…. In the afternoon, I volunteered at the Tour deCatur Expo Pi Day Activities, handing out…
In the very early stages of planning, one of the first things I did was to book tickets to go to the crown of the Statue of Liberty. I had been trying to take the girls to the Statue for years, but something always got in the way, whether construction or Hurricane Sandy. The tickets…
Today is Girl Scout Day. After work, I walked Ozzie and Phelix, then cleaned out a bunch of things on the shelf in my bedroom. Picked up our Moore Farms box today. Grape tomatoes and strawberries!! Spring is here. Made Armored Turnips (Farm Food) and Sloppy Joes (Girl Scout Day) for dinner. Watched The Nutty…
Today is Oatmeal Nut Waffles Day. No rain this morning, so Phelix and I hopped in the car early and went for a quick hike at Arabia.

Today is Harriet Tubman Day and International Day of Awesomeness and National Blueberry Popover Day and National Pack Your Lunch Day and Middle Name Pride Day. Spent a couple hours volunteering at the Red Cross. I always enjoy my time there! I made Tortellini and White Bean Soup for dinner, but also added vegetarian sausage….
Today is Mailbox Patented Day. Getting the kids (and Rob) out the door was rough because of the time change. As soon as they were gone, Phelix and I went out to Arabia again, as it supposed to rain all week. When we got back I worked until Chloe came home. She and I went…

Today is National Cereal Day. I had a quiet, mostly computer-free day. I seem to need one of these once a week to re-energize myself. Rob had some work meetings in the morning, took Camille to the art place in Avolndale, then went to a ham radio thing at Tech. Chloe hung out with friends…
Today is National White Chocolate Cheesecake Day and National Frozen Food Day and Holi. As I walked Phelix this morning, snow started to fall from the sky!

After our morning and afternoon in Rockefeller Center, window shopping and at Radio City Music Hall, we then headed down towards Times Square so Camille could have a chance to visit Midtown Comics. The rest of the evening was spent walking back and forth from Bryant Park to Grand Central as we picked Camille’s friend…
