Latest Milestone
Latest Milestone: Today, they are loading the moving trucks. Tomorrow (Friday) they start the drive here while I fly to CA for my Association. Saturday night/Sunday morning - I fly back while they are driving here. We all arrive at some point Sunday, and move into the new place Monday. So I won't be blogging much!

Latest Milestone: A week from today, we'll be moving in our new place. In fact, by this time of the day, the trucks will have been unloaded and hopefully returned, and we'll be eating dinner there!!!

Latest Milestone: Mother's Day without the family was unexpectedly lovely. My landlady/landlord invited me to a country club bruncheon with friends of theirs and her mother. Then I got to walk through our new house and see the updates in progress. Still, if it's all the same to you, I'll celebrate next weekend when I can finally hold my children again.

How to annoy me: Can that text be worth dying for? Worth killing someone else over? WHY DO PEOPLE INSIST ON TEXTING AND DRIVING?

Dear June
Dear June,
Hello darling. I just wanted to take a moment to let you know that I wear a piece of your jewelry nearly every day. In fact, every day when I think about it! I have a silver bracelet that was yours that I put on in New Jersey that I'm still wearing. But what I meant was that I have a little baggie of your rings, and I pick one out every day to wear. I get complements on them all the time. I know how you loved your ring collection, and I thought you'd get a kick out of knowing that. Partly the complements and partly that you finally got me to pay more attention to my jewelry. I'll never forget the tone of incredulous shock when I told you I'd worn the same earrings every day since high school. I still chuckle about it. And yes, I've changed those out since your proddings, although not nearly so often.
I miss you and our conversations. I mean, as this letter indicates, I still talk to you a lot but it isn't the same. I can't hear your voice audibly anymore although I often hear comments in your voice in my head at the funniest moments. I use words you taught me and they always come out in your accent.
As always - I'll end with my favorite encouragement for you (I still carry the note you had by your computer that says it): I'm proud of you. YOU ARE A ROCK STAR.
Love,
-k
Today I'm grateful for
Today I'm grateful for: being on a fantastically short countdown now until the family is really and truly here!
How to annoy me
How to annoy me: It's mildly amusing to me, but mostly annoying to get the full force of lame student excuses for things when what it boils down to is that they didn't prepare well and/or are suffering from "end-of-the-year-itis".
Latest Milestone
Latest Milestone: It's finals week. So weird to be here as an adult and see things from this perspective instead.

Today I'm grateful for: the rain. I LOVE rain. Granted, it makes it hard to want to get out of bed, but I love rain.

Latest Milestone: I'm almost finished with my sweater! This is a sweater that I've wanted to knit since I started knitting and didn't think I'd be able to knit and now it was easy. Amazing.

How to annoy me
How to annoy me: While I truly like the Lovely Basement, and it is way nicer than I'd ever HOPED for a temporary landing place, the craptacular cell service in a walk-out basement leaves a LOT to be desired. Like CONNECTIVITY for example. It leaves THAT to be desired.
Watching right now
Watching right now: Just Like Heaven, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Monkey Business and An Affair to Remember Went on a bit of a classic movie bender. Starting with Breakfast at Tiffany's which I'd never seen. Audrey Hepburn was exactly as I'd imagined, but George Peppard was a shock. Who knew he used to be young and beautiful?? That movie was way ahead of its time and I'm glad I've seen it now for the first time as an adult with some life experience. Then Monkey Business with Cary Grant, Ginger Rogers, Marilyn Monroe and a supporting cast. I'd seen that before, but I just adore all of those three. Finally, An Affair to Remember which was every bit as beautiful on this, my umpteenth viewing. Just a lovely lovely movie.
Latest Milestone
Latest Milestone: First tornado watch. It was a decent storm, a few loud claps of thunder, a bunch of lightning. I already live in the basement so the biggest thing was the nervous company of the cat and the disruption of the satellite.
