Behind in My Posting ...

I've been a little behind on my updates recently. I've had some busy days at work and haven't really felt like updating when I've gotten home. The wedding plans are moving forward, we are working on the invitations now, planning on getting them out by the end of the month. Last night we ordered our guest book, it is a custom one and took a little while to get it just right. We've ordered our wedding party gifts and I am itching to talk about them (Well, at least the gift for the guys), but I have to be patient and wait till after the wedding to say anything.

We ordered a cake topper and need to contact the cake company soon to get our cake ordered. Still working on the gift for our guests, that is a project that we need to dive into soon. We did decide on most of the ceremony the other night, I think we only need to decide on the Prayer of the Faithful, and I think we are writing those ourselves. And today Allison is contacting the Bakery Arts International Bakery about the cake.

We went to the Cape over the weekend for the Falmouth Road Race. However we had no runners at the house as in years past where there were no rooms at all available. Tara didn't even get to run this year because she got a soft tissue contusion on the top of her foot that prevents her from running at all for another week. Unfortunately the timing of the injury couldn't have been worse. This summer has not felt right at all, we haven't been at the Cape house much, and when we have been down, it has been really iffy weather. Even the folks in the neighborhood have noticed that it hasn't felt right this year.

Well, hopefully next year will be better. This past weekend was crazy, I felt like I was a Residence Hall Director again. That's about all I'm going to say about that. Allison and I did go to Ed's for clam chowder at the annual post Road Race cookout. This was one of the first years that I could go there and stay for the whole cookout, and of course this was the year that Neil wasn't there. It's just how things work out.

I found this site today. CitiKitty. Toilet Train your Cat.

Sorting Transformers ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02424 Yesterday I drove Andy to school. Today I walked over with them. I did so not because I didn't think Andy would be safe on their own. Andy has been walking home from school for well over a year so walking to school is the same thing just in reverse. I wanted to see how long it actually took for the walk to go. I of course, over estimated how early we had to head over. The walk itself only takes a brisk 15 minutes. And that is at a modified teenager's shuffle. So Andy can leave the house around 6:25-6:30 and still get there by 6:45 when the doors open to the High School. Good to know. During the day I started one of the projects I've been meaning to start and have been putting off. I'm sorting through my Transformers and getting them ready to sell. I have talked with the guys at Double Midnight Comics about selling them my collection. Not the stuff I have on display and also I am picking out some figures that I want to keep as part of the collectio...

Time with Lexi ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02401 Today We watched my sister's dog, Lexi. My sister and her husband were coming back up here from their home and they had boarded the dog. They weren't sure if they'd be there in time to pick her up so we did that for them. We had Lexi for a couple of hours before they arrived and we had dinner together. Lexi was pretty chill for the most part until Torrun came in to the living room to investigate. At first they just looked at each other. Andy grabbed for LEXI's leash and then Lexi tried to go after Torrun. Torrun ended up bolting for the upstairs and we did not see her for hours. James knew enough not to even come down.

Time For Another Change ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02402 Andy decided to clean their room today. In so doing they decided that they no longer wish to hang on to their LEGO sets. So, I now have them all and I spent the afternoon disassembling many sets to fit into the one bucket. There were many Minecraft sets in there. What I'm going to do eventually is take what is in the bucket and separate it down to the individual sets that I still have instructions books for. The organizing of that is going to be daunting. I will try and figure out an efficient way to separate everything but I'm sure that will take some time. Andy also decided that they no longer want the piggy bank that was mine. That I am putting into a box for Andy for when they get older and maybe have kids of their own.
