Going Through Life One Blog Post at a Time
I finally decided that it was time to get rid of all the regular books that I have in ebook format. I had been holding on to them, but I am not really sure why. I spent roughly two hours sorting through all my books. I now have three large boxes full of books. At first, I felt weird packing up the physical books, but, really, what is the point to keeping them? I am never going to read them again. These books were just serving as “decoration.” Time to purge!
This was the view from our back deck this evening. We counted 11 different hot air balloons.
Happy Sibling Day and Throwback Thursday photo all wrapped up into one!
This photo is from August 2008. Laura was very excited to hold John, but he looks a little unsure… For the record, we *still* see that expression on John sometimes!
Laura was a little down today. She asked me, “Mom, why do I feel like crying for no reason?” I responded, “Because you are a girl.” Laura was NOT pleased with my answer so when she saw Andy, Laura asked him, “Dad, why do I feel like crying for no reason?” He responded, “Because you are a girl.” This led to frustration, a few tears, and her saying, “I don’t understand that!” Without missing a beat, Andy and I both replied, “You will…” (Admittedly, I should probably not have taken the photo of Girl in her down state, but it was simply too good to miss.)
Whenever I am having a rough day at work, this is what I look at. It holds all my favorite pictures and the photo calendar that I made for 2014. It always makes me smile.
Tonight, Andy and I were supposed to attend the Chancellor’s Concert at the Missouri Theatre. However, the date was changed from April 7 to April 14, leaving us to debate whether we should cancel the sitter and stay home or actually go do something else. We decided to not waste the sitter and we headed out to Chris McD’s Restaurant and Wine Bar for the first time. What a great choice! Because it was a Monday night, the restaurant was not busy. We had amazing food, fantastic wine, and great service! In fact, we liked the wine so much that we went to Macadoodles after dinner and purchased a couple of bottles for home. It was a nice, leisurely evening out. Exactly what we needed.
Andy and I received a free pair of tickets to “West Side Story” this evening at Jesse Auditorium on the University of Missouri campus. While I thought the play was well-acted, I was underwhelmed. I have seen this particular musical six times now and I can officially say that I dislike this play. A. Lot. On the flip side, I get to spend an evening with my husband sans kids!
