All alone on a Friday night.

Jeremy went out to eat duck with some co-workers. A bunch of people are in town from overseas, so he’s downtown doing dinner face time.

I’m very lucky that Jeremy doesn’t often go to dinners or travel for business too much. We are most often found together at home with the kids after business hours and that’s the way, uh huh, uh huh, I like it, uh huh, uh huh!

One of our neighbors just recently got a Maltese named Toasty. He came over today and Ruby had a nice little playdate, although Vince kept picking up Toasty and putting him on the dining room table. Millions of blurry photos were taken, here’s the best of the bunch…

I Can Sew!

Well, These are the pants that I bought in Singapore back in December at the Island Shop while Katherine and Bob were buying all those cool outfits for Doris. They had quickly become my most favorite non jean pant … until that fateful day where I didn’t wear velcro ankle and went out biking. I clean ripped a chunk of my pants out when it got caught in the chain.

So tonight, I “sewed” them up. It wasn’t a pretty job. I think the last time I sewed was in home economics in 8th grade. Ha! Not too shabby. And I reinforced the hem with a bunch of loops. hopefully it’ll hold. I think I probably shoudl have used green thread, but ah… whatever. Only took me 20 minutes!

Heading Back to Washington DC Tomorrow Afternoon

We are heading back to Washington DC tomorrow afternoon after office hours. There are several things in our mind: going to the bank; dining with a friend from PA with breast cancer and a good friend recently lost her husband; playing mahjong; planting two pots of celebration flowers from Aiken; cleaning up the yard & attending the block party on Saturday.

Will be back to Aiken on Sunday with some winter clothing.

Wacky Wednesday!

Wednesday is a tough day for me. It’s 2 therapy appointments for Edda and I have to time the eating and the napping just right to pull it off.

For a few weeks now, Edda has been pretty miserable at her physical therapy appointment. In order to make the 12:45 pm appointment, we have to eat lunch at school and then drive straight to the therapy center.

Diane, her therapist, and I discussed moving the standing appointment, but since Diane is one of the few PTs on the island, she was totally booked and changing the schedule would mean switiching a bunch of people around which seemed like a lot of trouble.

So this week, I did something different. I just told Edda many times throughout this morning that today was Wednesday and that right after school, we were going to see Diane and have PT. I told this to her at least 4 times. And you know what? She had a fantastic session! I had never really told her where she was going before and maybe it just freaked her out that we weren’t heading home after school. Or else maybe I just got lucky, who knows.
