We had a really nice weekend! The main event for us was Asher's big Conference swim meet on Saturday, which is the beginning of the post-season for high school swim. They taper them to perform well at this meet, the boys all wear their fancy racing tech suits, etc. The meet was Saturday afternoon at… Continue reading The weekend, etc. + the internet gets me
Work has been SO BUSY lately that I have been more excited than usual when the weekends roll around. I mean, things are going well at work overall and much of the work is very interesting and engaging, but it's just very go-go-go all day long. And some days seem to stretch later than I… Continue reading Weekend and a little work mystery
It's a gloomy, rainy Sunday here and all I feel like doing right now is cuddling up with a blanket and.... well, that's about it. Haha. But I've been puttering around on the computer for too long now already (caught up on some blog comments, sketched out a MEAL PLAN for the week, etc.), and… Continue reading Quick Sunday post/ dinner woes update/ other misc
This weekend, in comparison to last weekend's intense weekend, had some very welcome breathing room in it. Asher ended up getting a last minute invite to go up north on Thursday afternoon with his friend and his friend's dad to their lake house. So he was gone. He got home Sunday night, at 9:30 p.m.… Continue reading A much needed breather + blogger meet up!
Annnnd the very choppy blogging schedule continues. Sigh. The week has been basically a continuation of previous recent weeks. I will not lie and say this post-Hawaii summer has been my most awesome summer. But, nothing is overtly horrible (at all!), either, and I also cannot exactly figure out how to express my discontent without… Continue reading An intense weekend
Gosh, I do not know what is UP but I just have not had much time to blog lately. Seems like I've been writing only one post every 5-6 days, which is so much lower than my typical cadence. This weekend was busy, so I guess that explains that part. Friday My last post was… Continue reading Weekend, birthday, OFFICIAL NEW DRIVER, etc….
This past weekend was so fun!!! A bit of a busy whirlwind trip, but so fun. Ethan had a soccer game in Minneapolis, which is about a 4 hour drive from our house. (It was supposed to be two games, but ended up being only one- long story.) When I'd heard about the Minneapolis games,… Continue reading Minneapolis fun + friends!!
Hello! It's been a few days. The weekend was busy with Asher's State swim meet. (He was a relay-only swimmer, Saturday and Sunday.) We met my parents for dinner on Friday night on the way into town, and then were up and gone pretty early both Saturday and Sunday for the meet. He did well… Continue reading Weekend updates and (annual?) pandemic flashbacks
So, the verdict on the new fancy suit.... I would say...."very helpful but not magic, either". Asher had a great meet!! But that being said, it didn't seem like the suit was absolutely life-altering, either. Which, in fairness, I think we expected. I mean, it's still just a swimming suit, not a turbo-charged jet pack.… Continue reading Swim success (relative) and weekend
Just popping in to say Happy Saturday! Hope you're all having a nice start to the weekend. The big event around here is Asher's Regional swim meet. He's swimming both today and tomorrow, and our team is co-hosting, so I have to volunteer. FORTUNATELY, I am no longer the team's Volunteer Coordinator, so this weekend… Continue reading Happy Saturday
GRATEFUL KAE
