This And That

I hope everyone had a good weekend and Father’s Day as well!  I think Brett got to do exactly what he wanted: a little of everything!  Relaxing, putzing in our yard, a trip to Home Depot AND Starbucks, and grilling.  I’m a little bummed because I got both he and my dad gifts for the grill from Sur La Table.  Both turned out to be broken.  I’ve never had this happen before, so I’m hoping it’s just a fluke.  But it’s not very fun to open up a broken gift!  And now I have to go back to the store to exchange.  The hardest part of that?  Just exchanging and not buying.  Seriously, that’s a dangerous store for us.  And I’m on the hunt for some cute straws.  I know, random.  But we were at a friend’s house last week and she had Mason jars for glasses.  Fun and inexpensive idea, and so cute with fun straws!

We’re on the countdown for Paris, too.  There are some things that need to get done before we head out.  First and foremost, get my a$$ in gear and lose a little extra padding.  I have some ideas.  And I just need to put them in motion.  One thing I’m doing with a friend is the Belly Fat Cure.  It’s sounds like a fad, I know.  But the philosophy rings true.  Limit the carbs you take in, and those carbs you do consume, make them whole grain and as unprocessed as possible.  Totally easier said than done for this carbo-holic!  But it’s definitely attainable.  And I need to get my blood pumping again.  My weekly training session is awesome, but it’s not enough (of course).  So, that’s what’s on the table.  Oh, and a haircut.  And a trip to H&M for leggings.  Need.  Perfect for an over-seas flight, don’t you think?  And lastly a trip to the Bose store.  A guy on my last flight let me try out his noise canceling headphones. Oh. My. Love. These will be perfect on the long flight so hopefully I look like this:

Lastest on the school situation.  It’s been kind of nice to not stress about meetings.  Tuesday the director of the district will visit the private school that we hope to place Emma in.  So I’m curious how that meeting goes.  We already know the director of the private school will do what she can to help Emma’s case.  Yay.  Positive thoughts, please, for Tuesday.  If you would.

Tomorrow I’ll give an update on Emma’s new medication.  The jury is still out.

  1. OK, I LOVE the mason jars with cute straws. What a cute idea! I’m curious to know how Emma’s meds are doing…they’re looking to put my nephew on that medication. Positive thoughts coming your way!

  2. We use Mason jars at the farm(our full time house) and I love them. They feel so homey. I need to find some cute straws too!

  3. I haven’t bought the straws yet, but there are some cute shops on etsy that sell them.

  4. Medication is working…positive thoughts are working! How is your nephew?
