Went to visit Granny and Grandpa (George’s parents) on Sunday. The boys have officially passed up Granny in height!

This is the third picture in a row of Miles and Linus. Guess who doesn’t like being in pictures? (Well, ok, none of them, really.) Right now, it’s always (American) football in the backyard.

More money = less hair

I am kicking off my St. Baldrick’s fundraiser today, and I’m a bit nervous. Why?

I decided I was going to tie the amount I raise to the amount I cut off. Part of me (the competitive part) wants to raise $10,000 and basically get a buzz cut, but most of me is terrified I am going to raise $10,000. (I realize it’s highly unlikely. But I had to set the goal high enough to be a really impressive goal and low enough not to be a jerk about it.)

Anyway, I have until March 28 to raise as much as possible. (My ideal amount is $9,999.)

Thanks for your support!

The series finale of our favorite show, The Good Place was on. Sad times.

We had our book club meeting and I got to pick the book! I hemmed and hawed over it, but ultimately chose my favorite book, even though it’s non-fiction. The food, as usual, was themed with the book, so there were scones and pork pie and clotted cream and Hob Nobs. Yay!

Argh. Stupid Apple watch. The screen just popped off. Hmmph. And no, I’m not paying $159 to get it fixed, Apple, thankyouverymuch. I can get superglue at the dollar store.

Helped a sick friend a bit with her move into a gorgeously renovated house. While I’m green with envy over her new digs, I also realized that after nearly 16 years in the same house, there’s no way I ever want to move. Unless there were dumpsters involved to toss everything we’ve accumulated.

I’m a pushover, so I took the boys to watch their friends play in the 5/6 grade soccer championships, which they also won. This is a statue near the fields. (Be grateful you didn’t get another picture of random kids playing soccer.)

You almost got a photo of my new waffle iron plates which earned Cuisinart a scathing review on Amazon, but instead you get the Zigster, being ridiculously cute.
