Last night at the end of Olivia’s preschool meeting I was walking over to the people who had the “Meet the Teacher” schedule sign-up sheet. As I approached, I saw a lady pointing at me, saying “That’s her. That’s your wife, right?”, to which the man (whom I’ve never seen before) says, “Well, it’s possible. [...]
We really did make it to England and back. Sometimes I still can’t believe it. The trip went off without a hitch (after the thunderstorm in Denver that made us miss our connecting flight to London, of course). Actually, the trip went better than I ever could’ve imagined! It was, by all accounts, perfect. Not [...]
Tomorrow at this time we’ll be nearing the east coast of the United States, making our way towards the Atlantic Ocean and at 1pm London time (which I think is about 5 or 6am Saskatchewan time), we’ll be landing at Heathrow. Off we go, indeed.
I wonder if it’s going to hit me that I’m leaving [...]
First of all: I WENT FOR A RUN TONIGHT! A friend and her family are temporarily living in the trailers here and she was bringing something back to my house and was on her way out for a run. When I asked her if she’d run with me some time (because I’d like to learn [...]
The other morning I woke up from a dream that left me a little frazzled for the rest of the day. In the dream, it was the day Marc and I were to fly to England but we didn’t have anything ready. (Our friend’s daughter was also an Olympic swimmer, but that wasn’t really the [...]
Yesterday driving home from the beach, wearing my short-shorts, one knee leaning on Marc, the other on the passenger door with my feet on the cooler in front of my seat, he looks down, strokes my thigh, and says “You’ve got great legs”.
I chose not to argue with that. I like what he thinks more [...]
It’s almost midnight and I’m waiting for Marc to get home from playing games at the neighbours. Since our husbands were otherwise engaged, a friend came over tonight and watched The Young Victoria with me. I quite enjoy that movie and both times I’ve watched it now have left me with those warm, glowy, romantic [...]
Marc is currently in the middle of a month-long intensive Greek course. Two semesters-worth of classes in 19 days. Tomorrow he has a midterm. The midterm falls on his tenth day of class. He was a little daunted by the thought of learning a language in that short a time and heard many horror stories [...]
We picked up kd lang’s new retrospective album “Recollection” on my birthday. I was listening to it on my way home from Winnipeg yesterday and one line of this song struck me:
Making love with you
has left me peaceful, warm, and tired.
Can I just say that I almost laughed out loud when I heard this line? [...]
… my very sore bottom.
My parents are here visiting for the weekend. (Hooray!) It’s been a great visit so far (and my mother did not burst into tears when she saw our trailer). In fact, both her and my dad commented on how homey we’d made it. Because they’re here, Marc and I decided to [...]
