At week’s end…
Friday – 12 April 2013 It’s the end of the week. Hallelujah. Earlier this week, I noted that my father had a heart attack. I am happy to report that he is doing much better. He was moved from ICU to a standard room Thursday evening; also, the overall prognosis for his recovery is positive. [...]
Nope, *still* not Belgium.
Tuesday – 26 June 2012 I want to go on the record as saying that having twins who are crawling and cruising is: Fun, Entertaining, and A little tiring Often, they both head in the same vector. However, those times when they don’t…? Let’s just say that I’m getting an inkling of what it’s like [...]
“Style, it’s like a second cousin to class…”
Wednesday – 20 June 2012 The summer solstice has arrived. And it’s new comics Wednesday. And it’s Pasta and Movie Date Night. Quite frankly, I think that sounds like “Win” all the way around. Yesterday was a good day. With the able assistance of Dave and Steve, I was able to pick up some drywall [...]
The Green… Nightlight?
Thursday – 14 June 2012 Not only is it another NBN Thursday in the valley, but today is also Flag Day. In Team DiVa news: The girls apparently want to skip crawling and go straight to walking: Vanessa (l) and Diana They are “cruising,” where they’ll hold onto something and attempt to use it to [...]
“Carve away the stone…”
Wednesday – 13 June 2012 Middle of the week means new comics and Pasta and Movie Date Night. I’m good with both of those. Last night, I went to the gym with special guest star, Dave. He wanted to check out one of my upper body workouts, so we went through my chest and biceps [...]
Wednesday and all’s well…
Wednesday – 06 June 2012 Midweek. New comics day. Pasta and Movie Date Night… maybe. Yesterday, the destruction of the grotto demolition of the gazebo was complete. There’s now just a slight depression (and a little debris) where the gazebo once stood. Pictures here. Now, we just need to decide what we want to do [...]
A pre-summer Monday…
Monday – 04 June 2012 A new week is here. The weekend was good – and fairly busy – weekend. We started with a pancake breakfast/car show, supporting the local Boy Scout troop. Next, SaraRules! went to quilt club while I stayed home with Team DiVa. After she got back, I headed out to judge [...]
“Long live the…” Oh, I totally misread that.
Tuesday – 22 May 2012 Today’s another sunny day in the valley. Tomorrow, however, there’s rain in the forecast, long with a nearly 15 degree drop in temperature. Yay. There will (hopefully) be a new Adventure Babies: Team DiVa video short in the next few days… if I can catch them doing one of their [...]
“It’s already here.”
Thursday – 17 May 2012 It’s another NBN Thursday in the valley. This one even came equipped with sun (with a slight chance of rain). So far, it’s been a good day… and there’s still a lot of day to go. Last night, SaraRules! and I watched Where the Wild Things Are for Movie Date [...]
The memory of you.
Thursday – 03 May 2012 It’s another NBN Thursday in the valley. This morning, Diana decided that 6:20 was a good time to wake up. She’d managed to roll herself onto her stomach again. I rolled her over and put her blanket back on her and hoped that she’d knock out for another half-hour to [...]
8:45 (Quarter to Nine)
Wednesday – 02 May 2012 ‘Tis midweek once more. Last night after dinner SaraRules! went to her book club and I hung out at home with the sleeping Team DiVa. By the time that I’d finally finished cleaning baby bottles and putting dishes in the dishwasher – after mostly chatting with friends online – SaraRules! [...]
“Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called ‘Life.’”
Wednesday – 25 April 2012 It’s the middle of the week… which means that it’s new comics day as well as Movie Date Night. Last night, Matt, Dave, and I missed our usual Guys’ Night Out activities and, instead, went to see the Utah Jazz take on the Phoenix Suns in a game with major [...]
Almost done…
Friday – 20 April 2012 It’s my “on” Friday. And, it’s also “4/20.” (Insert your own jokes here.) Last night was my night to fix dinner. After wracking my brain over what to fix, I decided to head up to the local Whole Foods and see what they had in their meat counter. I returned [...]
…and back again.
Tuesday – 17 April 2012 Day One of the work week. It started off rainy, but skies have cleared a bit. TeamDiVa’s first road trip was a success. The basic breakdowns were: Five days. Four states. Three hotel rooms. Two little ladies who traveled incredibly well, all things considered. One honest-to-goodness zebra. It would be [...]
Tick.. tick… tick…
Thursday – 29 March 2012 It’s another Thursday in the valley. So far, it’s held up to NBN scrutiny. Hopefully, that will continue. (UPDATE: It did.) Last night, SaraRules! and I watched… …for our Date Night movie; I’ve seen it before (we own the DVD), but she hadn’t. She liked it, despite a couple of [...]
