- I'm back. I was evaluating where blogging belongs in my life. [Lies, total lies. I was procrastinating. I couldn't think of a properly inspired post for "Craftacular" day and was trapped by indecision; should I write a topic that I feel passionate about that doesn't fall under a crafty heading or should I write something a little lame that qualifies as homemade? And then, having procrastinated so long that the Thursday conundrum doesn't apply anymore, it now applies to Friday and oh shit, I just cannot escape now and maybe I should just stop writing The Blog altogether, because, what a timesuck, but I love writing and metime and all that nonsense and so here we are.]
- the latest edition of Runner's World is delicious: pros and cons of the Color Run, overachieving mothers, beginner runner instructions and motivations, endless products and foods to sample. This is one magazine that keeps me entertained issue after issue.
- Top Studio (well, 3rd place) and Top Teacher awards for The G and I (2nd place for my man and 6th place for moi) at the Minnesota Star Ball, a nice little one-day event that happened last weekend. I was so proud of our students. I don't see G's students much and it is really great to see A) huge improvements or B) stellar debuts. Plus, my dude? Fun AND 1st. Woohoo!
Karin Lynn Photography took some really lovely shots at the event. Check out her website!
- I'm probably shooting myself in the foot here, but Zoo is using The Potty. She is ridiculously excited about it and cheers "YEEEEAAaaahhh!" anytime I ask her if she wants to go. Then, she'll chug into the bathroom and try to wiggle out of any clothes she's wearing. I've tried telling her that removing shirts isn't necessary, but it's all or nothing at this point.
- Baby, THIS IS NOT HOW YOU EAT STRING CHEESE!
- I had not gone to the dentist in a looooong time. We went last week and it was the first time I had gone to a dentist that hasn't known me since I was 5. Do you know they do digital x-rays now? And the scraper thingy is like super-charged water or something? It was NEAT. I will definitely go again this decade. Note: I am 34 and still have NEVER HAD A CAVITY. Boo-yah.
Seriously, though, I'm going to stop now. I could fill you in on everything, but that gets creepy. I mean, what are we supposed to talk about in person if I tell you everything here. We would have to talk about you the whole time and that just gets embarrassing [see: this blog].
Love ya. Peace out.
Thanks to all the Armed Forces members and families: my grandpas, Joe Hannasch, Ben Doran... Just thanks.
