Writing this on my phone as I get a pedicure done. I fly out at 8 am tomorrow for my work conference in Clearwater Beach, Florida! I’m looking forward to it. I’m honestly looking forward to both the conference part (I think it will be interesting!), having a King sized, gulf front room all to… Continue reading Quick weekend check in and some thoughts on “going out” at almost 43…
I'm feeling a sense of relief today. The last ~month or so has been so busy at work. On top of other things, in the last week I had 2 big quarterly meetings that I am basically solely responsible for preparing and presenting at (the 2nd one was yesterday at 3 pm). There are like,… Continue reading This and that
This short week is flying by- Thursday already! Before it's too far gone, here are a few scenes from our long Memorial Day weekend. Saturday's outing was the long walk to the bookstore + coffee shop. (Already shared.) On Sunday, Ivan and I walked Charlie at a nearby marsh, and then went to lunch at… Continue reading Weekend scenes and soda updates/advice from Chat GPT
Darn it, broke my blogging streak yesterday. I have no excuse besides that I was just doing other things and kept saying "I'll do it later". But then later kept getting later and then we ended up watching a movie last night - Remarkably Bright Creatures!!, on Netflix- and, well, clearly, I never posted. I… Continue reading Oops, okay, this time I did forget to post
Writing from our hotel room in glamorous Brown Deer, WI. As I mentioned, Asher and I are here for 3 nights for Asher's State swim meet. We arrived last night (Thursday), later than ideal. He had practice from 5-6 and then they had a team dinner at 6:15 at Noodles.... (Like, why couldn't the team… Continue reading Swim meet/ mini-vacay!
Blogging has had to take a very definitive back seat since we got home from Mexico! I guess 'tis the season that there are a lot of competing priorities. I spent this past weekend in sort of a pre-holiday CRAZE. I suddenly felt this huge pull to just get our whole house "Christmas ready". Even… Continue reading Quick check in/ last weekend/ shopping?
Whew this was a busy Saturday. I had a list a mile long of things I wanted/needed to do this weekend. Unfortunately I can't say I checked everything off, but I did check off some big things, so, that's a win. Of course, as usually happens, I also did several things that were not on… Continue reading Lots of things + some wins
After Halloween on Friday, we've had a fun and very enjoyable weekend! My parents arrived around 4 p.m. on Friday and stayed until ~11:15 a.m. today (Sunday), so we had a nice chunk of time with them. They came with us to Ethan's big Sectional Final soccer game at 1 p.m yesterday. Unfortunately, the weather… Continue reading The rest of the weekend
Argh, I still have not had a spare second to sort my final Nova Scotia pics and get that post up. BUT I WILL! Because the last days were incredible and deserve all the attention too! So please stay tuned... hopefully soon...😫 (Promise you won't skip it just because it's late!!!) It feels like so… Continue reading Some days in the life
I haven't really been in the mood to blog this week! Which is weird, and I'm not sure why. All is well- just maybe needed a little break, I guess. 🙂 I have been pretty busy with a work project that I NEED to have wrapped up before we leave for Florida in just over… Continue reading Quick updates
