Today I’m going to Olympus Spa in Lynnwood with Brigitte for my birthday. You get in free on your birthday, but they are closed on Sundays, so I’m hoping I can get in free today. I spent yesterday with my family, and then relaxing and taking phone calls from the family who is too far to visit. I got an ice cream cake from Baskin Robbins which was really good, and Charlie sang me Happy Birthday all by himself (I got it on video!).
I’m going to do a Mock Trial competition on February 27th, which I’m looking foward to. I enjoy doing it and I hope I can learn more about evidence while doing it. Evidence seems to be the most important class I’m taking.
Erik and I have been putting pu Elfa shelves in his office and our bedroom. This is a project we work on every January/February because the Container Store has a 30% off every January. The bedroom looks particularly nice. We ordered a recliner for Erik for his office which is supposed to arrive at the beginning of March.
Blogging is hard habit to get into. I have neglected my blog through the month August, namely because I forget it is here! I am going to try to find a time of day that is good for blogging and maybe put a reminder up. School is starting soon and blogging is a good way to keep my friends up to date with what is going on with me when I don’t have time to write them individually.
This month I had Charlie spend the night a few times. We usually wind up swimming part of the time, playing Game Cube, sitting outside to watch the stars, watching the Good Night show on Noggin, and playing a game or two. Charlie is getting really good at spelling and drawing. He likes to draw and he often asks how to spell this or that. One night we were looking at the moon and he said he wanted to go there someday. I told him someone went there already and he said “who?” I said Neil Armstrong. He was all excited to see the video of this event so I showed him the clip from youtube.com, but about half way through he walked away, another childhood mystery destroyed by reality. I think he was disappointed there weren’t beasts or some fantastic landscape. I’m projecting there though…
Last night I went to James Dold’s going away party in Belltown. Today the condo-association-hired-painters are painting our door cornflower blue, then this afternoon Erik and I are going to DJ’s for his summer BBQ.
Yesterday I was on fire. While in the produce area of the grocery store I looked for radishes and went up an aisle. After not finding any I said, “well that was another fruitless search.”
Then Erik was looking around the house for something, I picked up a Mr. Goodbar from my computer desk, held it up to him and said “Looking for this?”
Emmi blueberry yogurt is the best yogurt I’ve ever had. If you find some in your local grocery store, buy it!
