stonepicnicking_okapi1. It's jhope day! Yay! I updated my soap opera and did a drabble.
2. I ran Saturday morning (the full 5k) around the lake and I tried to run today but part of the lake was closed off for tree cutting so my weak soul declared defeat far too easily and doubled back and went home. There was a blue and gold bird (an Eastern bluebird, the internet tells me) which was striking given the dull landscape.
3. Yesterday the boys had the day off school and Minisculus went to an indoor soccer tournament. I did laundry. We got pizza because I mis-calcuated in my meal planning and didn't have quite enough for the whole week.
4. Sunday was the boys' father's birthday and we settled on a happy medium of a nice meal and one gift and he watched soccer most of the day. And there was key lime pie (which we finished this afternoon. Nom!)
5. Minisculus (and I) have moved onto step 2 of Caloric Modification program which is drinking a 6 oz of water before every meal and scheduled snack. He hates it but has stopped grumbling. He got some fun Valentine's on Friday and I got to take my pick of them for collage ephemera.
6. It's very cold but there is no longer snow forecasted for tomorrow so maybe we have seen the last of the snow (?).
