- our new beauty of a couch has arrived! i'm having some technical difficulties with hooking up my camera, so there will be a delay in sharing the joy -- sorry.
- i'm officially busy again! my sanity and routines are back in line and all is well in the world. my first day at the Y was today, which means that i had to "make time" to do laundry -- yay! i'm basically doing anything pool related (guarding, lessons, private lessons, coaching, etc.), so andrew is gearing up for some chlorine perfume and smelly sandals to invade our lives again :)
- i also started in on my paperwork to be officially employed by the palo alto jr. museum & zoo. i feel like it's news worthy for those that don't know i got a job there as well. i'll be doing two classes a week starting in november (& will get more the longer i stay). it's working with elementary students & there are "themes" to each session - sound familiar? yes, it's much like what i did at camp galileo -- except this time i have live animals in the backyard!
tomorrow:
- mom & dad sautner come into town! we've had visitors, including family, come into town before...but it's just not the same as your own parents! i'm excited to show them around, show them the apt, & SEE THEM! ...and also have stu-pot help me finish putting together the grill. i've got almost everything together, but i'm just not confident that it's stable enough not to blow the roof off the deck. it's the first time that i've put something together that has dealt with hazardous materials, so i feel that's a reason to be a little weary about my talents.
- dinner at coconuts! it's our favorite (or maybe just my fave) in palo alto & serves strickly carribean heaven-sent food. note that anyone who comes to visit with no clear, definite plans will be dragged here! (sidenote: i opted to take kate, alex, & bill to our local soft serve frozen yogurt shop instead...sorry guys. just be aware that this can be a replacement option.)
- it's my birthday! i think the excitement speaks for itself. ha!
