I'm glad I wasn't downtown today! Well, except for driving through to/from church this morning. I saw your car, btw.
Before I heat up my soup and get into my jammies I have to tell you about my afternoon. I think I told you all that we had high wind warnings on the east coast today. Well, it WAS windy here! I was hoping one of my co-workers had gotten then chance to email me the pictures she took downtown this afternoon. You all will just have to listen to my description. Sorry...
We were judging the 2:00 recital and we heard some odd noises and saw things blowing by our window. Then we saw police cruisers and fire trucks and flashing lights and running men in uniform. The next thing we know they are opening the door to our studio to tell everyone to stay indoors but to think about moving our cars because the roof is coming off one of the downtown buildings!
I work in an historic downtown area and most of the buildings are from the 1700s and the 1800s. This particular building has a very steeply pitched roof covered in the old metal roofing. The wind had somehow gotten underneath the metal sheething and had pulled it completely away from the bricks which is what we saw blowing by our windows! It was rippling in the wind and they had blocked off our entire street. A roofing contractor and his assistant got there about 30 minutes later and were up on the roof nailing 2x6 planks all over the roof to get it to stay down. It was an amazing sight and they are a lot braver than I would have been! I will post pictures when I get them.
I'm glad you all are ok. I'm sure it was a sight!
to all who aren't feeling well.
) it just gets exhausting! To top it off, I've always had a lot of emotional struggles through the winter, and I think I staved them off being so busy but now that things are settling down they are kicking in (and of course it doesn't help all of the physical changes, hormones, etc added this year!). I'm hoping that if Spring ever shows up I'll be doing a bit better. I am thankful, though, that I've got the most wonderful husband I could have ever asked for. He is super supportive when I feel worthless, so at least I have someone to bounce a lot off of. 
I am a pretty lucky girl!
Thanks everyone, for the comments! Kyle and I were pretty thrilled to see the babies again. I needed it, too, because I just don't enjoy being pregnant at all. At least I have a refresher of the outcome!
I am done with Round 1 of the practice recitals.
However, I have a nasty cold developing.It came on very fast with a horrible sore throat and chapped lips. Very odd, but I am not at all comfy cozy right now. Talk about the grumpies taking over. That could do very easily happen to me. I need to eat some soup, put on my jammies and climb into bed with my laptop, my DDA friends and my Dining spreadsheet.
I'm having a similar experience myself, today. Don't know if it's the weather that is all over the map (and thus maybe allergies?) or if I have your garden variety cold coming on. Either way, not a fun way to end the weekend, or start off the week! Here's some 
for all of us not feeling quite up to snuff these days!Deb - The shirt looks great! But Chris needs a pith helmet, not a bucket hat!
I feel you, Elin.
and for everyone who feels crummy!!

He used 6 different cleaning solutions (water, water&soap, water&alcohol, water&bleach, lysol wipe, & lysol antibacterial cleaner). His hypothesis is that the lysol antibacterial cleaner is going to clean the best. Why? Because it's what Mom uses to clean the kitchen. I sure hope there isn't tons of cultures growing in that petri dish!!!
We will be taking them for his display board so I'll be sure to let you see.We will need pictures of what grows!
YAY! When?
I was less than 120 pounds through all of high school and into college. When I married at 20, I was 110 pounds. I'm 5'5". I was down to 145 after more than a year of eating healthier. Unfortunately, I'm back up to 165 right now which is the reason that I'm working on eating healthy and exercising again. I got the eating healthy last time but didn't get into the exercise habit. I'm hoping the exercise habit will make the difference this time. I'd really like to be around 135-140. That is an ok weight for my height according to the health charts.
Have any dates picked out?
