Cole got home from school and got right to playing his video game and eating his Valentine's day treats. That is a pile of candy wrappers on the table in front of the fireplace.

Hanging out in the stairway during movie night at the school. They spent most of last month's dance here in the same hallway, too. At least I'll know where to find them at Fun Fair, next month...

Her homework sometimes includes reading a poem to people at home. She's reading a valentine poem to dad, here.

The waiting room at the eye doctor. I poked my eye with a makeup brush on Tuesday. Wednesday when I looked in the mirror I noticed that my eye was very red. I talked to the school nurse who ruled out pink eye and suggested that I go to my doctor. I decided to wait one more day to see if it got any better, it didn't so I got an appointment, even though it doesn't hurt or bother me at all. The old man on the left of the photo kind of grouchily asked one of the nurses to find out how much longer he had to wait, since his appointment was at 2:45 and it was already 3:15. And, then he grumbled about how it had been 30 minutes. The nurse said in not such a nice tone "Yes, sir, sometimes we are running late". That just annoys me...how come we are expected to be patient waiting in their waiting room but if we are "running late" to an appointment they don't really like that very much. Fyi- the doctor said that I have a corneal abrasion but that it's not too bad, my eye may be red for a week or two, and she gave me some antibiotic drops to put in my eye.

Tools I use to get through a day at work... either it's an easy fix, needs a little magic, or a lot of patients!

This cross was the only thing that we noticed that got knocked over from the earthquake that we had this morning. I have a shelf with crosses on it in my kitchen. This cross that we got from New Orleans had fallen off of that shelf.

It might be hard to see, but this is some of the Earthquake damage that we had. We also have cracks in our basement floor (which I was told that they would have come at sometime with the settling of the house). What a day!

I'm trying to ripen an avacado faster and thought this brown bag trick was going to work? It's taking a long time though...

I've been tucking these in my arm pits for a week and it still doesn't seem to fix the problem... hum... (insert sad face here)

I'm so tired of getting shocked because our house is full of static! We are going to look into a house humidifier soon because it's so bad.

As I was walking through the hall by the library at school today, I noticed that this was Cole's class' artwork. Cole's is the first one in this photo.

Eric, Cole and I bet eachother on the outcome of the Superbowl coin toss. Cole picked "heads" and Eric and I picked "tails"...Cole is now richer.

Anybody got a file? We ate last night at Flagstone Pub in Geneva. Behind our table was a windoww sill with bars, and on the other side is a pool table where a couple was playing pool. Gianni, of course, had to get up there and study what was going on!

This is my purse...Since having G, I have hardly used it! Of course, it is all filled with baby things! : )

I love this person's yard. They also have one of those Grimace jumping things, a coin-op carousel & a big statue of a black glove. It makes me want to do something creative & artsy in our yard, too. Maybe, this spring, I will!
Margie February 5, 2010
I'm going to hop on the bulletin board bandwagon! Mine is not quite as fancy as those school ones, but I do put up a new one each month with the kids' artwork.

I was browsing through some old pictures today and found this one of chocolate cake from Portillos...yum

Dylan is on the Dean's list again. It's funny to me because in high school you didn't want to go to the dean's office but in college to be on the dean's list is good.

First voting experience under his belt. They wouldn't let me take a picture as he was voting (it's not allowed).

I now live in the middle of nowhere. Translation: This is the middle of nowhere. Keep out of this place. I love reading kids' writing when they are just figuring out how to do it. It is like a fun puzzle. And yes, all evening I was in the midde of nowhere and had to watch out for snakes and dinosaurs and stray dogs.
