{one} how many times have you been a bridesmaid/maid of honor?
Maid of honor once for my mom. Bride’s matron? Once.

{two} what’s the last thing your do before you fall asleep at night?
I watch a little bit of TV or read a book.

{three} you just won your dream vacation, all expenses paid. where are you going?
Europe or an island somewhere warm. Depends on the season.

{four} what is your favorite outdoor activity?
Reading. With a cold drink and no one trying to talk to me.

{five} as a child, what did you want to “be when you grew up”? did you end up there?
Pilot, photographer, interior designer, architect, teacher. Uh, no. But I have taught in the past, have done photography and am currently trying my hand at decorating my house. So…

{six} what are 3 things your dream home would have that you don’t currently have?
This new house has pretty much everything I’ve wanted. Can I say a maid? A maid. That would be #1, 2 AND 3.

{seven} what’s for dinner tonight?
Not a clue. There is baseball practice and a soccer game tonight. Also a husband that’s working extra hours. Not sure I’ll have time to cook.

{eight} if someone stopped by your house unannounced on a typical Saturday night, what would they find you doing?
Saturdays are very random. It’s rare we have stuff planned – one of the only nights of the week actually. But most likely? Cleaning the kitchen. I’m ALWAYS cleaning the kitchen.

{nine} what’s your average monthly water bill?
Average water bill in the old house was actually water and sewer which was $50/mo. Now it’s just water but we haven’t gotten a bill yet.

{ten} what do you do to relax?
Read, watch tv, knit, and when I’m really lucky in the summer – a pedicure.

My drive home.

Actually, I promised myself I would try to get back to this. It’s like I have no record of my life anymore. I kind of miss it. I don’t miss the pressure I sometimes put on myself about what I write though. But who cares what I write? Anyone?

It’s warming up again which is nice since baseball is revving up. Three scrimmages this week for the oldest alone. Add that to Passover, Easter and school vacation and you’ve got a busy week. I think I may have finally found a way to keep it all organized though. I’ve tried a calendar at home and one in my purse, my phone (which was great unless I wanted to look at more than one day at a time) and excel spreadsheets. Now I’m using Google calendars. I can share with the extended family, have each kid their own calendar/color, and print it out however is most useful at the time. I also gave the kids and husband access to add their own stuff and to see what’s going on. The husband is using it. The kids not so much. Yet. Regardless, it’s easier for me and that’s what counts.

In other matters, work is good. In fact, this is the longest I have ever been at one job and not actively looked for another. I’m still not bored. Well, sometimes but not chronically. I’m busy and challenged and I enjoy most of the people I work with. And those I don’t? We all need someone to complain about sometimes. No?

Speaking of work and baseball, must finish up so I can get out of here and to the scrimmage before it’s over. I hope you have nice weather coming like we do. If so, enjoy! If not, hope it gets everywhere soon.

I would like to give a shout out to Mother Nature. Beautiful weather you’ve supplied. I know your switching things up and going back to snow on Monday but I’m enjoying your sneak peek at Spring. Really lovely. I’ve even taken to eating my lunches outside.

Things at work are finally starting to slow down. My to-do pile has become manageable. This makes me happy because I’m up for a little break from the crazy. Spring is always a good time to have a repreive at work since my home life picks up to an unbearable pace. No, we’re not there yet but in about 2 weeks it will be. Right now it’s just busy.

This week is the week of meetings. Parent-teacher and JV sports have taken up most nights this week. The kids have less school (1/2 days) and we have to spend more time away from them. Nice planning school.

Let’s see, what else has been happening? I’m knitting my first pair of socks. Luckily the pattern fits my feet as written but I have no idea how I would modify for larger or smaller feet. If any of you know how one would do that with Knitty’s Skew pattern, please! let me know.

Overall, I think everything is going well. A sure sign of impending disaster. Although, I like to think I deserve the smooth road for a little bit after the seriously crappy last couple of years. We shall see…

Vegas in 52 days!!!
