This has just not been my week. I can't believe it's Friday already, but also am glad that it is. Monday- Tuesday were spent feeling crummy with my cold, which got significantly more unpleasant as Monday progressed. I've sneezed about 7,246 times this week. Tuesday I ended up logging off of work by 10 am… Continue reading Not my week/ March social media plans

Checking in & good/bad list
Gosh, it feels like it's been a while, which is so rare for me. We were gone all weekend (Friday --> Sunday night) for the Wisconsin State Championships swim meet and yesterday kind of felt like a whirlwind, too. My life feels a little weird right now. Our spring break trip is coming up very… Continue reading Checking in & good/bad list
Grumpy
I am grumpy this morning. However, I'm going to refrain from dumping my grumpiness into the blogosphere, because...well, I don't really see the point right now. All that might accomplish is spreading more grumpiness, and if you are not grumpy right now, I don't want to infect you with my grumpiness. 🙂 Besides, I already… Continue reading Grumpy
DONE
Big sigh of relief- the Regionals meet is DONE. Everything went well and we got a lot of compliments from other teams/parents about how smoothly everything ran. I also felt very honored, because someone came up to me yesterday and told me that our co-host team's Meet Directors were "raving" about what an awesome job… Continue reading DONE
A fun night out
Last night Ivan and I had plans to meet a co-worker of his and his fiancee for dinner. This is a guy that Ivan is quite close with and has gotten to know really well over the last several years. They actually meet for a drink after work most Thursdays. Not always, but more often… Continue reading A fun night out
Little life catch-up
The weekend flew by this time...boo. Sunday night, Asher even said, "Wait, it's Monday already tomorrow? The weekend went so fast!" I'm not really sure why, since for us, it was actually a lower key weekend than usual. (No full day swim meets or tournaments or anything like that.) It was a good weekend, though!… Continue reading Little life catch-up
Major shopping frustration
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
