I just need to "vent" for a second after a frustrating evening last night!! So, Asher is performing a drum solo at the local Solo Ensemble competition on Saturday. (I was in orchestra growing up and did not actually realize that "drum solos" were a thing. But I guess they are. Should be lovely to… Continue reading Major shopping frustration

Spectacular
Wheeeeee that was fun to watch last night!! Chloe Kim on snowboarding halfpipe= GOLD Nathan Chen on figure skating= GOLD They were both absolutely spectacular. That's the only word that kept popping into my mind. SPECTACULAR! (I like that word. It sounds like a definite step up from "great" or "amazing". Spectacular is up there… Continue reading Spectacular
Late nights + a happy kid
ARGH the Olympics are killing me here. I'm ready for a western country to host the Olympics so the coverage can be in MY time zone!! hahahaha. The last several Olympics have been in Asia which obviously means a HUGE time difference. It actually doesn't work out too bad from China, because our prime-time viewing… Continue reading Late nights + a happy kid
Follow-up/ good at life
Ooh, some great comments yesterday on my post about Nathan Chen/ the idea of him being "good at life"/ uber talented at everything, apparently! I was going to respond individually but figured I'd just comment back publicly in a new post. The main underlying theme from most people seemed to be a sense of skepticism… Continue reading Follow-up/ good at life
Good at life
So the Winter Olympics kick off this week! The opening ceremony is actually on live right now, as I type this, in the other room. I feel bad for these athletes, in some ways. First of all, we just had an Olympics. So I feel that some people who normally are really into the Olympics… Continue reading Good at life
Tired, the week, etc.
Feeling kind of tired/ blah this morning. I stayed up until 11 pm working on volunteer related preparations for yet another home hosted swim meet coming up the weekend of February 18-20. It's a big one, too- Regionals. Typically Regionals are not hosted by our team (we always just attend at a different pool) but… Continue reading Tired, the week, etc.
January numbers
Since I started January without extremely hard and firm "goals" fully sketched out, I spent most of the month not really stressing about trying to do anything in particular. I had a few things in my mind that I was kind of focusing on, but a full on New Years Revolution- no. My one big… Continue reading January numbers
3 Random kid updates
I overslept today....darn it. I hate when that happens! I made the mistake of leaving my phone (alarm) on my nightstand and wound up hitting the snooze button several times. (I usually keep it on other side of the room, so I have to GET UP to turn my alarm off...). Anyway, 3 brief, random… Continue reading 3 Random kid updates
Exciting news
I was not originally going to share this quite yet, because I don't want to "tempt the fates" and all of that....but then I decided... You know what, Universe? I'm not playing your games anymore. I'm confident that things are going to work out this time, in my favor. So, I'm going to say it… Continue reading Exciting news
5-4-3-2-1
Taking another pause from trip recaps, and instead bringing you what I'm going to call a 5-4-3-2-1 Weekend Recap. I'm going to rank some weekend events from 5 (highest/best) to 1 (lowest). Fortunately, nothing was truly too bad this weekend, though. 🙂 5 The highest spot goes to....Ethan and basketball. He had one game Saturday… Continue reading 5-4-3-2-1
