day 60: the {+1}

Movie night... It's been a long week. Nothing but mindless entertainment tonight.

day 59

Running low on bowls and spoons.... Needed to empty the dishwasher so I could have dinner (Honey Bunches of Oats + Honey Nut Cheerios).

day 58

Don't forget to brush! I don't know whose toothbrush Zoey got a hold of, but she didn't want to let it go. This one won't be going back into the bathroom!

day 57

Mmmmmmmm Yum! Little Aubrey Swensen delivered our Girl Scout cookies tonight. Yay!

day 56

A little Martha... We took the kids to the library over the weekend. This was Kate's choice... the little papers mark the recipes that she wants to make.

day 55

Celebrating February birthdays.... {Sydney, Chris, Jonathan (in absentia) and Ben} Dinner at Grammy & Poppy's house today. The little cousins always have fun together. Click HERE for more pictures.

day 54

Kate... A somewhat reluctant photo subject, but willing to give me a few minutes in exchange for a go at licking the cookie-dough bowl. Tried messing around with the ISO and white balance... click HERE for a few of the shots that came out OK.

day 53

Lingering raindrops... on the Adirondack chair in the backyard.

day 52

One down, one to go... Got ourselves commuter car #1. A Toyota certified 2005 with only 6,959 miles on it!

day 51

The necessities. Stopped by the grocery store and picked up dinner for Kevin...

day 50

I have a headache.... click HERE to see why.

day 49

Yes, I carry two phones (work/personal)... Spent most of the day anticipating a phone call to help determine my future {work-wise}. The call just came.... looks like I'll be working in the office everyday.

day 48

I love cereal... I eat a bowl every day, sometimes twice a day. Honey Bunches of Oats is my standard, but Fruit Loops were on sale so I treated myself to a sprinkling on top.

day 47

Groomsman & Bridesmaid... [nephew] Collin and lovely Brianna at Ashley's wedding.

day 46

15 South at 6:05... Thought I'd make good use of my time on the freeway and messed around a bit with the camera (the Elph). Got some cool (in my opinion) shots of the lights. See more HERE.

day 45

Tulips on Valentine's Day... Downtown Walnut Creek

day 44

Dinner with Diane... CPK in downtown Walnut Creek. Japanese Vegetarian pizza, add sausage (not so vegetarian, but super yummy).

day 43

Embassy Suites soap - a much needed morning message...

day 42

Spent the evening in Danville with my good friend Diane and her beautiful family.

day 41

Tunnel - Highway 24. Driving from Oakland to Walnut Creek.

day 40

Gavin and Cindy. Went to my parent's house today and got to hang out with this little guy. For more pictures, click HERE.

day 39

The down-side of living by the middle school. Lately, the lights haven't been going off until 10:00 p.m. Not so good for us oldie-oldsters who like to go to bed early!

day 38

Today is Tết. These beautiful red envelopes are Tết lì xì, from my mom to Connor and Kate.

day 37

Zoey's chew toy... It's kinda how I'm feeling today.

day 36

Super Tuesday...

day 35

Public service announcement...

day 34

Me... right now. Way tired (a late night - by my standards), puffy eyes (thanks to late night + fried food), hungry (Fast Sunday), and cold... working on the computer.

day 33

Marathon scrapbooking day + Cassie's birthday + TGIFridays....

day 32

The stray (Tux) is still around... I don't know what, if any, efforts have been made to find his owners. I've been issued a proposal by the kids' mom: Part-time-step-pet-parent. What does this mean? Kate brings him whenever she's with us, we share any vet costs, etc. I don't know if I'm on board with that.... I'm not sure Zoey likes him so much.
