Me, Lars and Kristin.

Nothing Exciting

Nothing really to report. I have spent the whole day doing work around home and stuff for school. The last 3 or 4 hours I have been sitting on the couch in Panera Bread working on my laptop. It keeps me from finding other things to be doing at home! Plus, I got to enjoy some yummy broccoli and cheddar soup and delicious French bread that went right from the oven to my plate. Yum!

YAY!

Kristin is here and I couldn't be happier!!!!!!!! We are off today for some major shopping at the fabulous Natick Collection.

disturbing...

Not sure how I stumbled upon this, but couldn't not share it with the masses. There is something coming to Boston called Russian cat circus. Yes, google away, it is real. There are 30 cats from Russia touring the world and putting on quite an expensive show. Tickets here are $50 and $60! This is a quote from one of the trainers. "American cats will see the Russian cats do tricks and want to perform also." No, I really don't see that happening. Plus, you can't take your furry feline to the show, so how are American cats seeing this? Probably YouTube. What freakish times we live in. Of course, I had to share pictures.

Halloween Pictures!

For the Love of Lars

So, thanks to freecycle I now have a car seat in my car for Larsman. It is in excellent shape and good to go. Tonight (in the freezing cold no less) I decided to put it in using the latch system. This is the safest possible way to install a car seat and also the most challenging. Nothing but the best for Lars. It was quite the challenge, but is now in there and I think that it might never come out. I'd put a picture, but alas...

Sadness

Well, you won't be seeing pictures on the blog for quite awhile.
Last night Andey and I took sweet, wonderful Lars swimming at the YMCA. We left our big bag that had our clothes, Andey's phone, my wallet and my camera in the family locker room. We had a great time, got home and put a tired boy to bed. I got into the bag to realize that the phone, camera, and wallet were gone. Intense sadness. Not over the material things, but over the fact that someone did this. Maybe it was out of serious need, but I doubt it. I would have given them the clothes off my back if that was the case.
It has put me in a very sad place. (thankfully I am seeing my therapist later!) Sadness about our world and those who are in it. Sadness for the photos on the camera that I will never see, for the tiny strips of paper that had deep sentimental value that i always carried in my wallet, sadness that I try so hard to help those I love and strangers, but things like this still happen. It's quite a blow. However, I have wonderful friends who totally kicked in and helped me process everything last night. I love you both, thanks.
I hope that the people that are now the owners of our things are enjoying them and that they sometime realize the pain that they have caused. But they have my total forgiveness.

YAY!

 

I am so happy to announce that Kristin will be able to come for Thanksgiving!!!! Air fare has been really high lately, but finally she found somthing reasonable. It wouldn't have been the same without her. I can't wait!
