A quick mini-rant about gift buying: I have heard recently in multiple places about people who have "carved out a couple hours and sat down to buy all their gifts", most recently on The Lazy Genius podcast yesterday. Just go on and get that pesky little task checked right off the list! This idea sounds....… Continue reading Gift buying mini-rant and other recent misc.
Okay, 3 days into my December Fitness challenge, and so far, so good. LOL! Let's hope I can at least stick with something for 3 days.... Sunday I just did an Emkfit Dance video on YouTube (~25 minutes) + a 5 minute abs workout on Bodi.com. I debated going to the gym, but I got… Continue reading So far, so good + 15!!
Can't break my NaBloPoMo streak!! Day 12 today. It's 9 pm and we just recently got home from Asher's high school swim team parent/athlete meeting. It was from 7-8:30. There's a brand new head coach, who we met tonight and seems very nice (pretty young/ casual in his hoodie...ha. Probably will be very popular with… Continue reading Late post!
I was going to title this "Asher Updates" but figured he might not like to have his name in the TITLE. haha. But, these updates are all related to Asher. Volleyball Banquet On Monday night we went to his end-of-season volleyball banquet at school. They had nets up in the gym, so all the boys… Continue reading Thursday updates
Here we are, somehow 1 day away from the end of September! I read all the time management things and I think about this topic a lot, yet I still can't seem to figure out how to get time to slow down. (Though in other ways, September actually has simultaneously felt moderately long? I don't… Continue reading End of September
Ethan sort of goes back to school today! Ahhh. (Just a short orientation day, which as a sophomore basically means going to get his picture taken and receive new school ID and some other misc. tasks.) His first real day is tomorrow! I always think it's nice to start on a Thursday, to ease in… Continue reading Back to school- round 1
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….
Yesterday I think I might have attended my last ever club soccer game. (I say "might have" because I guess I don't know for sure, but it looks that way.) It feels a bit surreal and like an end of an era. The boys started doing little toddler soccer classes when they were TWO years… Continue reading On the end of things
Zooming on through May... we're really in the home stretch now, and dare I say the worst is behind us? This is the boys' last official week of school! Peeking ahead to next week.... Just gotta make it to Friday. Ethan: As I type this, Ethan should be finishing up his US History final exam… Continue reading Winding down fast
