1) Easter: I didn’t attend all of the Holy Week Services. Folks, I love Jesus and all, but I can barely get my teeth brushed regularly these days. Dressing up in fancy clothes and the one pair of dress shoes that (sort of)fit me post-pregnancy AND chasing the Bean around the baptismal font does not amuse. We went Wednesday night, Saturday night (my favorite service of the whole year – even though some dipwad messed it up by turning the lights on too early), and Sunday afternoon. Bean was pretty good for all of them. Her godmother (my koumbara, as the Greeks say) loves to hold her for as much of the service as possible. The baby comes back to me full of smiles and smelling of perfume. She could do worse, believe me.
Sunday afternoon was the agape picnic at church, and we feasted on Greek food while the babies played on the grass in the sunshine. They could do worse, believe me. I have pictures but I’m saving them for her newsletter, which will be a double issue because I could not stop chasing her long enough to type one for 11 months.
2) Walking: The Bean was decided that being stationary is OUT and racing at top speed (for her, anyway) is the only way to travel. It’s balls out or go home, as far as she’s concerned.
3) Taxes: This is the latest that I’ve ever waited to get taxes done. I keep searching for the bills of sale for our two Pilots (McCrunchy and Pontius) to get the sales tax deduction. I can’t find them ANYWHERE, and it’s making me sweat.
4) Car accident anniversary: I’m coming up on the one year anniversary of my car accident. I’ve started thirty posts trying to write about it, but it’s still very raw and oozy and rub-salt-on-it painful.
5) Siege on Troy, take II: The Greeks are descending this weekend, from two different states. It will be fun, but hectic. As always. My house will become an Athenian flophouse what with all the guest accommodations (i.e. blow up mattresses) and general noise and mayhem, but it will be good.
6) Susan – please start blogging again. I miss it.
7) Lime Jello and cottage cheese make for interesting baby puke.
8) Gardening: I am starting a container garden in my backyard. Let’s see how long it takes me to kill it.
I'm trying, I'm trying. So sad that work keeps me so busy I don't have blog time. :-)
