And so it goes. Wednesday, February 01, 2012. Like a Breath of Fresh Air. Last night as I was tucking Captain Awesome into bed and giving him his nightly eight kisses and an eight-second hug, I noticed how good he smelled. It was fresh, clean, soapy goodness.more so than usual. Me: You smell good tonight! Captain Awesome: That's because it's Tuesday. And with that, the conversation was over. At least in his mind. Me (with an obviously dumb look): Huh? If you think I smell good now, wait until Friday.

And so it goes. Thursday, January 02, 2014. It's the Little Things. One of my goals for this year is to pay attention to the little things. Little things are often the foundation for bigger things, and I want to build on that this year. It was fitting that a co-worker sent me an invite to "Happier" just before the end of the year. If you haven't checked it out, take a look. It's sort of like Twitter for happy thoughts. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Talkin' Story...: Talkin' Story.....the Grown Up Years!

http://zoomlens.blogspot.com/2015/03/talkin-storythe-grown-up-years.html

And so it goes. Wednesday, March 11, 2015. Talkin' Story.the Grown Up Years! So, it's been a while and once a gain I am contemplating reviving the blog. So much has changed, and I am trying to come at it from a different perspective. The Diva has graduated from college. She recently left a good job to accept a position overseas. In all honestly, there are days I miss her terribly (a LOT of days! The Wildcard is living at home in his second year of college, but will be transferring in the fall.and mov...

And so it goes. Sunday, February 12, 2012. More Lost in Translation. So, I took the kid for a haircut. He keeps wavering between the Blonde One's curls and the Wildcard's short spikiness and finally it was time for me to intervene. Yes the long curls were cute, but he just couldn't carry the look like his older brother could. So, we opted for short and maybe spiky. She couldn't stop looking at him in the mirror, with a slightly puzzled look on her face. Is it boy or girl? Visions of my cute little ninja ...

And so it goes. Friday, January 13, 2012. So, yesterday I was in my office in the back of the house working while Crunchy Girl and Captain Awesome were occupied in the front of the house. Crunchy Girl was watching TV in the living room while Captain Awesome played with his Beyblades on the floor across the room. It was a quiet afternoon, and things were winding down for the day. Or so I thought. The next ten minutes played out as one of the funniest incidents of my life. It went like this:. Sure enough, ...

And so it goes. Monday, October 01, 2012. So, Captain Awesome is in third grade this year. (I know, I know, where did the time go? He has always been above grade level in everything except handwriting and motivation, so we were pretty happy that his new teacher had always taught fourth grade. His school in Hawaii was not so interested in challenging the kids, and the teacher always seemed annoyed when kids wanted more difficult work. Apparently the lazy streak returned. You get the point.).

And so it goes. Tuesday, September 25, 2012. Just like the wanna-be brides, I scour Pinterest for cool things that will most likely never happen. In my case, it isn't shiny engagement rings or glitzy reception decor, it's recipes. I have boards filled with soups and salads and entrees, comfort food and ethnic food and copycat recipes.I have it all. With the help of Pinterest, I am doing a Cooking Challenge.one new recipe per week, rave about it or pitch it. I did modify it a bit. The Hubster doesn't ...

And so it goes. Monday, July 29, 2013. Ridin' the Storm Out. So, now that the kids are older, the Hubster and I are able to get out and do a few things we enjoy without worry. Like our Sunday bike rides. Generally, we ride about 30 miles round-trip along the coast, where it is mostly flat, scenic, and still a decent workout. Sometimes we do the river ride, which is similar, but not as scenic. And then, there are The Hills. He took the entire mechanism apart, then 'tweaked' it. My bike is in for a tuneup ...
