2007: 186 (4206)

186. Two weeks ago, Mr. Bug, to whom the glass is always half full, got a stomach bug. A few minutes after one of his "incidents" I asked him how he was feeling. His response: "A little great."

185. Dancing with Ms. Bao to the song I Love you Always Forever. Not exactly a song about the love between a mother and child, but when all you can understand is the chorus, then I think it fits.

184. I heard Steve Winwood on the radio this week. Higher Love.

183. Yesterday, Bruce Hornsby's The Way It Is.

182. Puzzles.

2007: 181 (4201)

So, I've been gone a while. Not that I haven't thought of a bunch of things to post here, but life is busy. Anyway, I've probably forgotten a lot of them, but here goes.

181. The Word. The Word. God's Word!

180. A night away.

179. Paid for by my MIL.

178. Time with my SIL.

177. Getting some work done on the quilt my SS class is doing.

176. Getting two gift books done for friends who just had babies.

175. And they like them!

174. While on that overnight, where I accomplished the aforementioned crafting tasks, I also got a massage.

173. Paid for by my husband.

172. Out of his bonus money from work. How sweet is that for him to use his bonus money on me? I'll answer for you... very sweet.

171. Chocolate ice cream from the chest freezer that is so hard it almost breaks your wrist to scoop it out.

170. Said ice cream in a glass, covered in milk so that little ice crystals form on it. Yum.

169. Ms. Bao tells me "yuh you" without being prompted. (I love you.)

168. I love her too! She is talking more and more.

167. The powers that be in the district where Paul coaches are new this year. They have interpreted the contract differently than the previous administration and have decided that Paul should be paid on the salary step that reflects the years he has been coaching there (even though he doesn't teach there anymore.) So, this year, Paul will be on something like step 15 for coaching pay (where he should be) instead of step 4, where he was last year.

166. And they decided to reimburse him the difference in his pay from last year too.

165. Warmer weather.

164. The kids actually played outside yesterday.

163. I made chicken fried steak for Paul's birthday. It's the first time I have ever made that. It came out pretty good... which is what Paul said. It's the first time I've eaten chicken fried steak too, so I needed him to tell me if it was any good.

162. With real mashed potatoes. We don't do that around here much. Okay, at all. They were really good.

161. And he liked the cake we invented too.

160. The steak was on sale this week... just in time for the birthday meal!

159. New online friends.

158. Hanging out with my mentor.

157. Getting a nudge towards doing the ministry God has for me.

156. Milk for $1.50/gallon.

155. And a freezer to put it in.

154. The nice guy at the grocery store who pointed out a really good deal on ground beef.

153. And the lady who gave me the discount on the soap dispenser.

152. Ms. Boo is getting into helping around the house. Yesterday, she swept under the kitchen table for me.

151. And she can do laundry now too.

150. The kids can sort laundry too.

149. Salad.

148. My kids like prunes.
