This is getting tedious

So the Wiggles are playing, Greta's playing her harmonica and Ray is doing 'homework' on her Thomas computer. Nearly bath time.

This is Kee Kee the cat on his way to the vet. He yowled on the way there, there, and on the way back. Other than his teeth, he's in great health.

This week's flex:

Wed: girls to school, me to work. Swim for PT. If I can find a sitter, I'll be at the last night of the Nooma course.

Thurs: OFF! Last day of Annual Leave. Dropping the girls off then returning bottles and cans, then having lunch with aunts and uncle and step-mum before heading back to pick up girls.

Fri: Sailor's home!! Girls to school, me to work, and Jimmy Flynn plays the club that night.

Sat: Ray to dance. Groceries.

Sun: Church. Birthday party for one of Greta's friends.

Mon: Girls to school. Me & sailor to work. I have a brief to give. Then get the girls after swimming at 2.

Tues: Girls to school. Me & sailor to work. I have to sit in a meeting, so no PT. Dance class for me and my sprained toe.

I love my Mac, except

for when it doesn't upload more than one photo at a time.

Ok, this one is the view from the Club toward Port Angeles one morning.

Last one coming up.

One more try

Let's see if it'll let me post more than ONE photo this time.

No. It won't. Piss. Me. Off.

Ok, this one is of our cherry tree out front in bloom.

Two more to go.

Gah! Life... SLOW down wouldja?

Things just never seem to stop around here. I know I'm derelict, but here's some photos to catch up. For some reason, the Mac will only let me put four or fewer photos in one post. I know... post more and the problem would end.

First photo: a cherry tree in bloom from along the highway.

Seems the damned computer won't let me post any more. Off to do ANOTHER posting.

Wish me luck. I'm just in no mood to argue with the damned machine today.

What a weekend!

I have been lax in posting photos, but I have been taking them!

This first one is the thing the girls like to do the best - swing.

The next one here is what greeted us on the front lawn one day when we came back from work & daycare. Three deer, hanging out. Eating the tops of my flowers!

Friday night in Penticton, we went to dinner at Villa de Rosa (and Saturday night too). The candles were beautiful.

Saturday at Career Conference, I won this purse! I'm not much of a purse or bag type, but hey! Who am I to say no? A lot of women were looking at that purse... a few came by afterward to touch it. Huh. Yes, technically I didn't take this photo, but DAMN, I look good!

This is the view from our hotel room. It was so pretty.

And here's what the purse can do: three looks!

Sailor's at sea for this week and next. Ray still has spring break this week, so my niece Al is here watching her while Greta goes to preschool and I go to work. This week's flex:

Mon: home sick (yay me).

Tue: Ame comes over to visit with Ray, I go to work, Greta to preschool.

Wed: Greta to preschool, me to work. Church at night for Nooma course.

Thu: Greta to preschool, meeting at work.

Fri: Garbage day! Greta to preschool. Me to work. Sailor mentioned he may be home this weekend!

Sat: Cat to vet. Ray to dance.

Sun: Us to church (I get to read the prayers. No pressure there). Birthday party for a friend of Greta's. Twilight movie night with a friend!!

Playing Ketchup

So here's a few to catchup (like the poor play on words?) recently:

Bathtime the other night. These are the common toys for the girls. That Sucrets box has been through hell and back, yet they love it! Best toy I 'bought' over the years.

On Wednesday nights through Lent, I'm assisting in running a "Nooma" course. They're about 20 DVDs of about 12 minutes each, with an American pastor, Rob Bell who talks about different aspects of scripture, God and Jesus. These were the ones we watched this week. The top one, Noise, was very cool. The second from the bottom, Luggage had a surprise ending. We haven't watched Sunday yet.

These are some milk bubbles Ray and her friend were blowing while waiting for the Naan bread to cook. Giggles, light as the bubbles that brought them on, filled the air, as much as the bubbles filled the cups.

This week's flex:

Fri: drop off the girls, meetings at work, Sunday Routine for Sailor.

Sat: groceries, Mother-in-Law's birthday party with TONS of family.

Sun: early church, dance exams for Ray, brunch with family for Sailor and Greta, Sailor slips sometime late.

Mon: drop off the girls to daycare (1st week of March Break), work.

Tue: girls to daycare, work.

Wed: girls to daycare, work, Nooma at church.

Thu: girls to daycare, work, pick up A from the mainland and settle her in. After bath and bed, drive to town to E's.

Fri: leave for Penticton for Mary Kay Conference!

Hello My Old Friend

When I got home, my other camera was waiting for me. It's not much, just a 12mp Kodak point & shoot, but I adore this camera. It will stitch panorama shots for me and do so many other things. I had broken the screen at the U2 concert in October and sent it away for repairs, expecting the worst, but it was only $77!! Anyway, I took my photos and I'm just so happy I have it back. Here's some from the week:

The first is Greta enjoying something on TV on Saturday morning.

The second is the outside of Ray's school. The primary centre is K-5. It's gorgeous inside.

My girlfriend was dropping her daughter off at school on Monday and when she rolled her window down, the frost stayed up!

These are my tap shoes, waiting to go dance on a Tuesday night.

And now my Font Choice thingy is gone... spooky posting tonight.... Anyway, this week's flex:

Sat: Ray's dance, groceries, meeting with someone about Dad's photos of the Forest Museum. More to follow if it actually works out! Then hanging with the hubby.

Sun: Church. Laundry. House cleaning. Prep for Monday.

Mon: Drop off girls. Work.

Tue: Bus! Work. Student/Parent/Teacher meeting at Ray's school. Tap Dance for Mum.

Wed: Drop off girls. Work. Nooma course at church.

Thu: Bus! Work.

Fri: Drop off girls. Work.

Next weekend will be very busy... Grandma's birthday celebration on Saturday night, and then Ray dances her exams on Sunday!
