Whew, we're home!! As alluded to in my last post, we did not actually make it home Friday night as planned. Womp womp. As soon as we landed in Guadalajara, Ivan pulled up the Aeromexico airline app, checked our next flight and it said... "In the air". So much for that. It was already after… Continue reading Home, Charlie reunion, setting 2024 intentions…
I'm a little cranky today. I wish I had the rest of the week off now, but I don't yet. Why am I cranky? No particular reason really, but here are some musings that have been rolling around in my head. Reason #1: In general, I think I'm just feeling drained. Things are fine, and… Continue reading A-not-at-all-festive post
Final Christmas prep, or lack thereof I'm mostly about as done with Christmas as I'm gonna be this year, for now. Well, almost. My Christmas cards still need to be addressed, but they are here and ready and I have stamps. It is actually sort of nice that some of the pressure is "off", in… Continue reading Wrapping things up… and something I’ll miss
Hello hello! Happy Monday. This was a largely very nice weekend- shockingly "open", for our standards. We had no out of town visitors, Asher did not have swim practice, no one played soccer. The only events were a birthday party Asher attended on Fri night (but the Birthday Mom joyfully both picked him up and… Continue reading Weekend accomplishments/ why don’t I feel relaxed?
Darn it...despite my best intentions to keep blogging briefly and frequently after NaBloPoMo ended, I guess I really didn't. Today is Thursday, December 7th, and it looks like I've only posted 2x since the 1st. Work has been really busy this week. Lots of meetings, a project, and a last minute/ time sensitive "ask" that… Continue reading The past week, (mostly) photo edition
Day 30 of NaBloPoMo is here, and something strange has happened. I can’t really think of anything to write about today. Surprisingly, throughout these last 30 days, this has not been a problem. Ever! I mean, I’m not saying every post has been profound- nope, not at all. But I just sat here for a… Continue reading Final post… a day in the life
Haven’t shared an OOTD in a while now… I am still attempting to “get dressed” more days than not and unearth some unworn items from my closet. But it’s a little spotty and depends on the day. Yesterday I had a meeting, so I decided to wear “dress pants” to just feel a bit more… Continue reading Fuzzy socks win and thoughts on NaBloPoMo
I had a really heart-pounding, scary dream last night. I dreamt that somehow, we were informed that surprise! We didn't actually own Charlie... we were apparently merely fostering him. And the time had now come that we needed to turn him over to his "forever owners". Who were not going to be us. O.M.G. I… Continue reading A very scary dog dream + puppy love
NaBloPoMo Fail: Well, I officially failed. Yesterday, Friday 11/24, I did not post a blog post. DANG IT!!! I made it 23 days in November with a post every single day, and now I failed. The annoying thing is, I totally could have at least done another quick photo-only post or even just a "Hi,… Continue reading Broken streak, Christmas lights and a fun meet up!
Phew, this was a busy day. It went: * 4:55 am wake up * leave home 5:15, Asher to swim by 5:30 am * straight to grocery store by 5:45 am… trying to beat the crowds! It worked. (More on this later but we are doing a sort of phoned in Thanksgiving this year for… Continue reading Busy Pre-Thanksgiving
GRATEFUL KAE
