10 Randon Things for a Friday

1. Jackson and Veronica are sick. I'm not sure what they have... It started with J having a bit of a drippy nose a few days ago. Then V had a fever one night. Next day they both had a bit of a fever, J had some stuffiness. Last night J was super hot in bed. He may be messing with his ears some but it's not definitive. J hot again today. V has funny white rash on her lower lip...???? Bizarro. I guess it's not time to go to the dr. yet. But of course it's the weekend. So if they get worse, we'll have to make an appt at urgent care. :-(

2. I'm usually productive during the kids' nap. Today, well, I unloaded the dishwasher. Now I'm on the couch with some banana cake watching That 70s Show and blogging. I may wash a toilet or two later, we'll see.

3. I must be feeling a little tired/under the weather too. We were supposed to have our playgroup this morning but I decided not to go. Our afternoon playdate canceled on us and I'm glad. I just felt like hanging out today.

4. That being said, the kids and I did run one errand this morning and then we went to daddy's office to take him to lunch!

5. My errand was to Roadrunner Sports (running store). Now that I'm a runner (!) I stop at places like these. (Ha ha, kidding!) Dick got me a few things there for my birthday that I needed to return. In their place, I got a cool running hat! It will keep the sun out of my eyes but will keep me dry. And when it gets all sweaty and gross, I can wash it in the washing machine! Yay.

6. The longer I live here, the more I'm enjoying our new house! It's hard not to focus on all the projects I want to do but... more and more I'm enjoying the wonderful backyard, great neighborhood, proximity to good stuff, and large house.

7. Speaking of proximity to good things... I found out the park that's four blocks away has concerts once a month all summer long. This Sunday it's an 80s cover band! I think we'll probably walk over and check it out.

8. Also, Dick and I are signing up for a 10k on the 4th of July! This is a little of a long run for me (a 10k is 6.2 miles). The longest I've done so far is 3 miles. According to the training program I'm following, I will be running 4 miles tomorrow! WOO!! The run goes right by our house! Afterwards, there is a party in the park. And a 4th of July parade! I'm looking forward to it!

9. I absolutely SUCK at Trivial Pursuit. We were doing dinner/TV night with our friend Pete every Thursday at our house. Now, TV is gone (and/or sucks for the summer.) All our shows are on hiatus. So, we're doing game night instead. Pete chose Trivial Pursuit because he's AWESOME at it. I think by the time the game ended I had ONE piece of pie. Pete won with all six. Dick had three I think. I just DON'T remember things! And the categories suck. And it's about 15 years old! Next week I get to choose the game. And it WILL NOT be Trivial Pursuit (obviously)!

10. Not to brag or rub it in for those of you who are suffering (often) but our weather has been BEAUTIFUL! I really just continually revel in our wonderful weather. I'm SO dang lucky!
