Things!

I'm having the same sort of middle schmertz as last month ovulation time, although this month's hasn't been so bad... yet...

It would seem to be the weekend and I would seem to be not doing much, except we went to the movies! Dark Knight, best movie I've seen in a long time, but that's not saying much since I don't think I've been to the movies since Star Wars pissed me off. I think I was pregnant with Ella.

Oh yeah, and I've been knitting like crazy on the blanket only to find out that I do indeed need to order more yarn, so now I've stopped on the blue and started on the green in hopes of getting to the part where I need the new ball before it actually gets here. It's a race! Ready set go!!

Yeah, so I was doing that and drinking water and trying to figure out why I have to have this cramping shit twice a month now instead of once.

Abbey & Ella are doing yoga with the Wai Lana lady. We went to kiddie land the other day and had much fun.

It's almost August and we still haven't been camping, which hopefully means that we'll be going to the festival in September...

Not surprised

Another one from the I could have told you that files...

Playing in the band

Got together last night with Cheryl the guitar player to work on some tunes. I'm always torn when it comes to how much I can let the kids participate during band practice. Cheryl was awesome at getting them to use their little percussion instruments on 2 and 4, but then Abbey decided she'd tickle the keys a little and that just won't do. Extra percussion is always welcome but atonal piano during A Train? sorry dabbers...

I have a new tarot book, 2 actually, because I've decided that it would be fun to refine my already hopping intuition. I'd like to learn to focus and understand more easily. Inwardly AND outwardly.

Swirly

in the noggin today, but I think in a good way. I've been pondering the point of things lately, as in, is there one and since I've decided that there is, what is it? All of this brought about by reading too much yoga stuff I think, and perhaps by listening to too much Mingus. The stuff is dense!

I've decided to worry a lot less about why.

So the fun part of my Rubber Soul project has been the cutting and pasting of charts, I give Ella all of the Ringo parts and she makes things. It's also fun to be able to sight read this stuff so easily and I know I'm practicing the stuff I'm good at already but the other stuff is so hard. yah.

The girls are just getting so big and independent, although I just realized yesterday that the day will come soon where I don't pick Ella up like a toddler anymore. I remember my mom telling me that I was too big to be carried and I was sad. It was easier with Abbey because I was lugging Ella already and just couldn't.

Doctor

Today's the day the girls get to go to the doctor. Poor Ella had to have a blood draw, but that was the extent of the traumatic events. Poor Dabber was nervous, but went first and didn't have any trouble. Ella was not so nervous but she will be next time. Next time will not be fun.

I feel yucky! We ate a bunch of crap this weekend and I feel hung over from it. Not to mention all of the beer. Ugh.

Gotta go do some yoga

ugh

beer. We went to the local music fest last night in search of good music but all I found was beer. I think next year I'll have to try and be playing instead.

Dinner was delicious, we went to Mundial Cocina Mestiza where I shouldn't have ordered the chicken. It was just that I wanted the veggies that were on the side, and I didn't realize that since I don't really eat so much meat anymore that I also don't really like it very much. The veggies were worth it, though, and it's always fun to watch the hottie chef work. We didn't get to see the hottie lady chef, though, she was busy in back.

ugh

beer

Rubber Soul

is my next project, don't forget
