snow day

they are closing the lib today and tomorrow.

cause it's too hot!!!!

yippee for summer

stripped of all my cares

so i was in boston.
for a month.
it was lovely lovely lovely.
while i was there i helped my sister make puppet to help the primary kids in church sing louder.

i call him oscar. (with the spanish pronunciation, of course. it just doesn't work if you call him oscar like oscar mayer wiener.)

oscar likes to drive us to the park.
but, oscar, how can you drive when you don't have any eyes?! ...silly oscar.



here's liz and oscar discussing serious primary matters.



oh, liz and oscar are such friends!



and here jordan is trying strangle oscar in the window.
i guess jordan and oscar are not such friends.

easter

decoupage eggs
fancy food
mini skip-bo express
'happy easter' thunderstorms in the middle of the night
2 days til my birthday

i got my first sunburn of the year.

and the garden is close to planted.



and i got a post-dated birthday card.
but i can't open the gift til the big day.
more on this later.

it's hard for me, but i'm trying

so. apparently i'm on this midlake kick and so i've been listening, (um, that's the definition...)
anyway. so just the other day i was thinking that sometimes the music goes all 70s folksy. and then i had that song in my head so i put it on the blog then i saw that the link wasn't working so i went to fix it and i couldn't remember if it was the .net or the myspace so i went to both to choose and on the myspace he was all like "...The sound is something more related to 70’s folk rock but not in a gimmicky way, hopefully."
so that made me feel good.

cause you know when people ask what kind of music you like and you say "i don't know" and they think you don't listen to music?
or like you talk about a band and they don't know it so they ask what kind of music it is or what it sounds like and you have to say "i don't know"?

and then in survey of jazz you just were crap at quotes, but then in the middle of the night, years later, you're listening to christian mcbride at your friends' house and suddenly you're like "oh wait. that was a quote." and it totally was and your life is complete?

not quite that good, but a similar feel.
