defying gravity
Yesterday was a great day:
1. Ben was off. Yay! This gives me uninterrupted work out time. This is much appreciated. It also makes running errands WAAAYYYYYY easier. Also, he facilitates naps! Aiden slept on him for 2 hours yesterday morning! And then took his afternoon nap in the car when we were running errands. We kept trying to think of other things to do in the car for cap time which lead us to:
2. Driving downtown for Garret's cheese and caramel popcorn mix. It is the best. This is an example of the downside of ben being home: it is bad for my sugar intake. He likes to suggest Garret's popcorn or Jama Jucie. During the summer it was diary queen or baskin robbins...pretty much every night. It was okay then. I was pregnant and needed the ice cream! Now i still need ice cream, but prefer to get my no-sugar added made with splenda which i am sure is still going to kill me according to the media ice cream. ; )
3. While I was drying my hair I thought, man, I need to e-mail my co-author about him getting back to me about my draft of the response to the editors. I did not do it, but while I returned from my errands he had e-mailed me back. As Tom said - it was a president's day miracle! It has also made today good as I have been using my BRAIN! and it feels sooooo good. this is combined with some awesome sleeping by my child giving me time to work! I am enjoying it today as i am sure the awesome sleeping will be gone as soon as i finish this sentence.
4. A reason I cannot share right now, but I AM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!!! (no, i am not pregnant. i would not be excited if i was.)
5. But a couple friend of ours is! He was in our wedding. She is awesome. And we are so excited for them. She is due Sept. 1. Funny since that is going to make all of our friend's baby have similar b-days. Tera from high school's Jack's birthday is 8/24. Aiden is 8/26. And now our friend is due right around there! CRAZY! (Okay, we found out about this Sunday when we went to lunch with them, but my joy spilled into yesterday!)
