It is what it is

Landed by 9:00 AM yesterday. Had an amazing lunch at a Middle Eastern place with A & B. YUM. Spent an hour at Plane park....OMG I never tire of watching the planes. It was in the 50's but windy and quite chilly but blue skies and perfect. We spent the afternoon at Crate & Barrel outlet, Crate & Barrel in Clarendon, Williams Sonoma, went to Whole Foods and Harris Teeter. Brian cooked an amazing chicken and rice dinner that I have to have the recipe for! Slept in this morning because we were all up early yesterday. Brian again cooked a delicious Fratatta and we were off to the spice store to buy oodles of spices. By the time we got to the Newseum, we decided to go and buy tickets with the idea that we can go back tomorrow. People behind us asked us to split a 2/1 ticket and we had a coupon so the 3 of us got in for 30.00 instead of 60.00. What an awesome day! They closed at 5 so we had to leave but will go early tomorrow to see the rest. Drove to the Pentago...

slept in, went to later service, did 1.5 miles on the treadmill, some ironing and laundry, make turkey soup, meatloaf, cookies, practiced the piano, did lesson plans, read some for school, typed the minutes for the worship committee, went thru the paper, and that was just today. Friday, I sorted some school papers, checked them in, wrote and mailed Valentines, caught up on the newspaper and slept. Sat., errands, watered the plants, polished some silver and copper stuff (maybe that was today), made meatballs, groceries, did a get-together, iChated with kids., geeze, I need a day to do nothing. It is what it is....oh managed to have a meltdown about school Friday night and spent a few hours in a dark place. I guess we all need that once in awhile. The sermon today was about praise. Praise for what is good.

Skipped church since Otto is sick and didn't want to go alone. Spent 3 hours last week at the Ordination of our new Associate Minister. Anyway, been running like a chicken with my head off all day. Packed away the snowmen, got all the Valentine's stuff off, watered plants, laundry, back on the treadmill, cleaned the fish tanks, spent 2 hours at the Henry Ford at the new Auto Exhibition, stuff, stuff, stuff. Still have lesson plans to do and piano to practice. Heading up to recital weekend at end of March. Need more time like everyone else. Booked a flight to DC for Feb. 18th. Taking the 17th off to do stuff I can't do on the weekends including a return diagnostic MG. Car, hair, nails, dog...on and on it goes....crises de jour.....it is what it is!
