More Random Thoughts for a Sunday
I have lots of random thoughts this morning. Shall we get started?
Paul and I went out last night. We had dinner, (an excellent Asian Chicken Salad for me, probably full of calories, but it wasn't as bad as a big juicy hamburger, fries and three beers!) We saw the movie "Amazing Grace" which I would recommend. It got 3 stars in our local review, and I would agree. It was very good, but not great. My personal criticism of the movie: those English gardens are just so damn beautiful! They become very distracting for a garden lover like myself. I'm supposed to be paying attention to the plot, but I'm drooling over the fields of lavendar and the sculpted boxwoods instead. It's a problem.
Another subject. I'm getting very nervous for David's tonsillectomy. I'm tempted to call some nurse friends and get their opinion of the surgeon. Nurses always know. I'm worried that my anxiety over this surgery will make it much harder for my baby. Surely he'll pick up on my fear. I saw a tonsillectomy once in nursing school, and it was positively barbaric. I'm definitely on the fence about this one, whether to go ahead or not.
The Bird & Pete saga continues. Bird is not quite as fascinated by Pete now that she realizes he's such a navel-gazer. That little Pete is constantly loving on his bird-mirror. My husband joined a bird forum on the internet to get advice on how to wean Pete from his mirror. Evidently it's a major problem. It has to be done very slowly or Pete might suffer sadness & depression. I believe it. That bird is addicted to the mirror. Yesterday I saw Bird open up her little cage door, fly over to visit Pete, and then fly back to her own cage, open her little door and hop back in. I think she was showing off.
I'm starting to think about summer. The sign-up sheets for the various camps and activities are already coming out. Time to put down my deposits and get organized. Yuk. I think I'm going to enroll my oldest in an art class over at the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art. That child is really talented. I don't know where she got it, but I know where she didn't! I need plenty of activities to keep that one busy. Teenagers should always be kept busy.
We were supposed to get snow last night. Guess what...we didn't! It's going to be a good day afterall.

Sounds like not so bad off a Sunday - I am glad it didnt snow last night - but its colder then all get out today isnt it!
I was introduced to Westport Flea Market Friday night - yummy hamburgers!
Damn...I just left a hideous tonsillectomy story for you, but this new blogger lark is a pain in the arse. It all got lost!!!!!
Hmm, I have no advice as I haven't had to cross that bridge...but I remember clearly being 6, and having my tonsils out...I don't remember any pain...only eating icecream and popsicles...and my parents got me a new doll. So, really, only good memories!
No snow, that is so great! We got our fair share of snow this year, and I know all Easterners are rolling their eyes at me, but for this Westcoast girl, it was a lot...and I hated it!! Good for my kid, but bad for my commute!

Hmm. Well, my brother got his tonsils removed...in his 30's. It turned out well. That's about the only person I know. Any surgery on one of your kids is traumatic, no matter how minor, so I understand why you are wavering.
Pete sounds like my ex husband. Just sayin'.
You should post that picture that your eldest took of the circles and the falling snow.
