Starbucks and ET coffee

Another AP that brought home two beautiful twin girls shortly after we brought home our girls posted this link about Starbucks and Ethiopian coffee. I guess I need to find another coffee house! Losers! Starbucks that is. . . .

it's raining, it's pouring. . .

my girls are watching movies! They are sort of like me when it rains, they get slumpy. I don't know how else to put it. I tend to want to hibernate when it rains and well. . . this is the third day of icky, rainy, cool and humid weather. So, no cooking out, no playing in the pool, no bike riding, running, etc. So we are doing inside activities, reading, movie watching, and I'm about to go the Joann's and pick up some summer projects as I just looked through the flyer and there are all kinds of goodies in there! On a different note, I've been able to get quite a bit of busy work accomplished and we are having some wonderful food because I've had some time to cook! THIS IS GOOD! I'm caught up on homework, paid some bills, organized a little here and there. . . WOW and it's only the third official day of summer break for me! Well, we are hoping for some sunshine tomorrow. BTW, our garden looks fantastic and we've not had to water for a few weeks given all the rain :-)

writing prompts?

I'm sure you are getting bored with my random posts by now! And I just don't feel like writing serious stuff right now. So I'm going to write from a prompt from the NaBloPoMo website. Here is the question?

When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

WOW, what a question! Well, the answer? No laughing please, remember I was little! I wanted to be a ballerina!

Like I said, NO LAUGHING! Can you believe I actually thought I'd grow up to be graceful and thin! Well, I think I am anything but graceful, ask anyone who knows me. I bump into things, trip over the invisible, and well, my vestibular system, well. . . probably isn't as well nourished as I think it is. Am I sad that I'm not a ballernia! Heck no. I love being an occupational therapist, playing with little kids and helping my teams at school! It's cool and fun and outside of the box. My girls think it's pretty cool too!

There were many things I wanted to be when I was little, but I'm glad I am what I am! I remember drawing picture upon picture of ballerinas and the multiple types of tutu's they would wear! Each of the ballerina's also had a different color ballerina shoe (I'm sure there is a technical term for ballerina shoe, but well. . . I don't know what it is). Anyway, ballerina? Not today!

making up for lost posts

I've just finished my second annual post placement report for the girls. It's actually quite amazing to see the growth they have had in the last 24 months. Our report can only be 2 pages long. That makes bragging kind of difficult. We also have to send in 5 pictures along with our report. It's pretty cool to see how they have physically grown as well. And this picture was taken at the END of last summer! WOW! I have to go find my SD card with the more recent pictures.

New look!

Playing around a little with the look of the blog! It's quite busy, but I don't necessarily like the scrappy look, and I'm not sure I have a style! So beware, it'll probably change a few more times until I figure out what I like!

opps!

I totally forgot! Last day of school, done at 11:30 and out of routine. The girls thought I was home early and were totally surprised. We ate lunch and then they let me take a nap! A much needed nap! It was a totally relaxing night, grilled fish for dinner and movies, kids and for mom and dad! Still early, don't know what to write, and I'm drinking a great cup of java!

'Twas the night before the last day of school

And I think I might actually have everything done! I've got some busy work, but I think the main paperwork is finished. I even finished reading about construction of test items and made my post for class before midnight! WOOT WOOT! I am tired and only have 4 3/4 hours of work left before summer break! another WOOT WOOT! Good night, have to get some z. . . . . .z. . . z. .z.z.z.z.z.z.
