We have our hamster, Butterscotch Caramel, back from the neighbors who babysat him while we were out of town. Owing to a twist of fate, our hamster is looking perkier today than the neighbor kid’s hamster. We’re thankful for our healthy hamster and here’s hoping all the hamsters we know at this point in time will be healthy and happy by the end of the week.
Not Multitasking
So I have discovered that if I am sitting in a hotel lobby having a drink with my husband and visiting with my mother-in-law and My Kid is trying to log onto Webkins that it is not also possible to–at the same time–write a blog post
Driving the Pacific Coast highway
Riding the shotgun mommy seat and loving it!
There’s fresh snow on the ground!
It’s snowed in Ashland, Oregon on this morning! It’s Tuesday, March 30. Wintery spring!
Strange Children’s Television
So we’re in a hotel room in a different time zone watching television that is outside our usual habits. There is a show on now about animals, who have tires instead of legs and live in a jungle even though some are farm animals. Right now the crab is juggling and making fruit smoothies for the other animals.
I am reminded of a cartoon I saw when I was in Japan. There was a piece of candy and a chocolate bar and a green pepper and a roll of toilet paper and a blonde girl and they were all friends.
JFK JetBlue 5IVESTEAK
So here I am alone at a table with my laptop, oh wait I’m not alone, they’re baaaaack. The Husband and My Kid went shopping between the time that we ordered and our food which hasn’t come yet.
It is very strange to sit in a restaurant in the middle of an airport terminal.
It’s a possible clown piece…
Pray and Bless and Bless and Pray and How Much Does the Healthcare Bill Really Matter?
A friend posted on her facebook page:
“Despite months of high dose chemotherapy and 6 weeks of radiation, there is still residual tumor left. Meeting with surgeon on Monday to discuss options. what a bummer”
!
Counting backwards from Departure…
Two minutes till ten and My Kid is still packing. I haven’t yet packed for myself. I’m not going get to go to my Pilates class tomorrow am I?
Nope.
The hamster needs new bedding before we go…
Ack! We’re packing…
Tomorrow evening we going to flying to Portland, Oregon for Spring Break.
I forgot all about packing!
Organize!
Focus!
Expensive Cirque du Soleil invitation mailing printed on 100% recycled paper
I wish I knew how to work my camera/computer combination so I could post a photo of the cute blue and yellow tent shaped promotional invitation to Cirque du Soleil’s new show OVO beginning April 9.
I remember when we were devoted viewers of Varekai – Fire Within on the BRAVO channel during the 2002-03 winter season. But, since we were the parents of an unpredictable toddler and tickets were very expensive we didn’t actually see it when it came to town.
Why am I posting this. Who knows, it’s just what I thought of when I got the Cirque du Soleil mailing, remembering those cold winter nights, relaxing at the end of the day, curled up in front of the TV with my husband and my baby enjoying the vicarious thrill of the young amazing circus performers rehearsing and trying to make it into the final show remembering my own clown college and summer stock experiences.
