topic sentence: working girl

http://topicsentence.blogspot.com/2009/03/working-girl.html

Dilettante" sounds so much nicer than "shallow". I start my new job tomorrow. Did I mention this? Maybe I passed it around so much offline that I forgot to post it here. I got a library job! The late nights mean a couple of missed family dinners, but I'll still be able to pick up Small Person from school and have some afternoons together. It also means my mornings can still be spent at my volunteer shift doing different repetitive library-type tasks. Let's face it: I'm thrilled! View my complete profile.

Dilettante" sounds so much nicer than "shallow". Lego stash unearthed by Baba to add to Small Person's inventory (post-bath):. We started Mother's Day with strawberry picking:. Then continued to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk:. Then finished up with our favorite sushi restaurant:. Small Person's school play:. Most time-consuming job almost done! Almost time to register for Fall classes! Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Rocky is a sick racoon.

topic sentence: news flash

http://topicsentence.blogspot.com/2009/03/news-flash.html

Dilettante" sounds so much nicer than "shallow". Just to give everyone the duh update: when I feel boring or lame I don't post very often. It's not that I'm overwhelmingly depressed or more nerdy than usual and embarrassed to share. I am, however, still job-hunting, which is rather sad and dull, and doubly so in the current economy. See, boring drudgery = even more boring. So, let's see what I can come up with that is a tad more sparkly. Hmm What else. Made a pretty good cheesecake this weekend. ...Covet...

topic sentence: SORRY!

http://topicsentence.blogspot.com/2009/02/sorry.html

Dilettante" sounds so much nicer than "shallow". A small selection of photos of what we've been up to lately. Small Person all dressed up for Hawaiian Day at school:. We've been to a lot of birthday parties lately.The fresh newness of kindergarten means new friends, too, and I've come to the conclusion I must have a popular kid. To me, that means she's outgoing, pleasant to be around, and generally good fun. Yay! I lost count of the number of trampolines! We didn't want to leave when our time was up.

topic sentence: stormy weather

http://topicsentence.blogspot.com/2009/02/stormy-weather.html

Dilettante" sounds so much nicer than "shallow". Makes us all crazy. Add a three-day weekend, and that's a real recipe for disaster. Fortunately, Small Person spent part of the weekend at Baba's, and we managed to fill the rest. Crafts! That was a hit. An even bigger hit, however was the Hama midi bead kit. Those little plastic rings that you put together on a pegboard and then iron to melt into a solid shape. Voila! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Rocky is a sick racoon.

topic sentence: big island

http://topicsentence.blogspot.com/2009/03/big-island.html

Dilettante" sounds so much nicer than "shallow". Small Person's birthday party went off without a hitch. I baked, Auntie T constructed, and it turned out like this:. Extra fabulous, don't you think? We decked the house and ourselves in leis, grass skirts, and various other island-inspired props, put the five hours worth of music I collected on shuffle, and passed around the mocktails. I do admit to one small gripe: why is the RSVP habit an exception nowadays, no longer the norm? Today is my baby girl's o...

Dilettante" sounds so much nicer than "shallow". First step: count the drawer full of crayons in Small Person's desk. I was pretty sure she had at least 100. Like her mama, she has an artsy-craftsy bent that I encourage. What? Art is life, right? So, yes, she actually had 115 crayonsby our count. We organized into groups of ten, counted and recounted to make sure, then arranged by color into a fabulous array. Way to make homework fun, mom! The kids liked it, the teacher liked it, I shut up and let Small ...

Dilettante" sounds so much nicer than "shallow". Anyone with a "blended" family can tell you that holidays can be rough. Add a grandchild to the mix, and it gets even worse. Our clan has enough experience with sharing holidays to avoid fighting, but we do seem to get busier and busier every year. This was our celebration schedule, starting the Sunday before Christmas:. Nutcracker matinee. Small Person to Auntie L's for two nights. Shop, bake, get Small Person back. Bake, wrap, panic. Links to this post.

topic sentence: diggy, the dancing queen

http://topicsentence.blogspot.com/2009/02/diggy-dancing-queen.html

Dilettante" sounds so much nicer than "shallow". Diggy, the dancing queen. I love the malapropisms of a five year old. Sadly (for me, not her future communication skills), they are waning. Small Person still mis-hears a lot of things, but is far quicker to catch them nowadays and correct herself. And, she can officially read now. I know! Tonight she read the bedtime story (another gem by Mo Willems. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Rocky is a sick racoon. I told you so.
