I am grateful that Jonni is safe! She was in lock-down yesterday because of armed bad-guys on campus at CSUF. She was there past 10 pm (when I went to bed). I think she got released sometime after that, but before midnight. Craziness. Nyk and Seth (her brand new baby) are doing fine - and I'm grateful for that, too ( Read more... )

I'm feeling a bit "blah" today. I haven't had a lot of energy since about Sunday afternoon. I think the fact that work was so slow yesterday is contributing.

Today, I am grateful for the weekend. Pete and I spent it together - we did some shopping, watched the Springfield holiday parade at the tattoo shop, had a nice meal, met up with friends at The Mohawk, checked out both Holiday Market and the Picadilly Flea Market. It was all at a very relaxed pace. There was no football to get in the way of ( Read more... )

Learning experiences are good for ( Read more... )

We enjoyed a really wonderful dinner. We attended the Swashbuckler's Ball. We slept in. We wore hotel robes. We had room service breakfast. It was relaxing ( Read more... )

Today, I am grateful for talking about Thanksgiving with my daughter. We had a little time toward the end of the afternoon to discuss cooking and what-not. I've been a little lack-luster about the whole thing. I'm not the most enthusiastic cook in the world. I get a lot of "don't really care" sorts of answers when I ask about potential menu ( Read more... )

I am grateful today that Pete is feeling so much better. He woke up this morning feeling peppy and almost silly. Since he's been feeling so worn out and blechy lately - it was a nice contrast ( Read more... )
