Greenery (Day 14)

The world is turning green again! And so quickly too!

Never mind that it's just bordering on this side of too hot. 

Pandemic (Day 15)

It's been a pretty blah day. The weather got cold again and my calves are hurting for no real reason so I dispensed with my workout and sat in my bed instead. However, excitement! LM's Pandemic expansion came in! We spent an entire weekend playing the original when she first got it and so this is major excitement.  When we're not super out of it from work, we'll play some hardcore bioterrorist plots. :)

A Conversation and a Thank You (Day 13)

Today was a beautiful day. It was so warm and sunny and breezy. I heard a conversation on the bus today that also made me happy. A man walked on the bus, took a look at another man, sat next to him and asked him whether they knew each other. It turned out that they had gone to elementary school together and one of the guys left the school in the seventh grade due to some redistricting mess-up. These guys had not seen each other for 30-40 years and had not been great friends but it was really nice to see them reminiscing. I hope that if that happens to me one day, I can be as gracious and as easy-going as these guys were.

On another point, today is a day to honor mothers everywhere. As I was writing my mom's mother's day card this past week, I got rather sappy and did tear up a little. It's hard being away from my mom and grandma on this day, maybe harder than normal. It's easy to get distracted on a daily basis but any day I stop to think about it, it kinda just tugs at my heart a little. Here are some pictures of the three of us. <3

And an oldie! (June 2010)

Happy Mother's Day, and a thanks to all that mothers do. 

Tea Parties and Torrential Downpours (Day 12)

Today, before the torrential downpour that BM described as "Holy god, it's the apocalypse" we had a tea party with blooming tea, little sandwiches with the crusts cut off, Digestive cookies, and watermelon. 

We also played Pandemic, watched X-men Origins: Wolverine, and played Betrayal at the House on Hill. Basically nerds who have tea parties. 

Cupcake nails! (Day 11)

Allergies and Picking Hoods (Day 10)

Day 10: Spring brings allergies. And 4.5 hours under the picking hood does not help things. I have decided that music doesn't cut it. Will need to find audio book to keep sanity. Today, was extremely hangry and itchy by the time I got home and happy times were the last thing on my mind. But some things can mitigate the hanger. Yum.

Flower presents (Day 9)

Today as I was walking, I saw a bike. On the seat, someone had left a flower. It was beautiful and a burst of sunshine on an already beautiful day.
