Two, and three.

You know, I thought my posts got boring when we started school. Grades, tests, random bits of interesting information, tedious recitation of our daily schedule. But then school ended, Damm went off to Basic, and life truly got boring. And so my posts are correspondingly boring. At least I feel like they are :D June 10 & 11 we're going to Alberquerque to visit the zoo. The Orclette and I got our own hotel room so it's promising to be a pretty fun trip. I like staying in hotels-I associate it with the vacations and soccer tournaments my family frequently went on/to. I like going down to the continental breakfast that most hotels now offer and leisurly eating breakfast, drinking the usually non-drinkable coffee (but not drinking it is not an option. Coffee addict speaking :). I guess it's one of the few times I actually relax and shift into low gear. Go figure. Anyway, I have, on occasion, gotten a hotel room by myself simply to accomplish that relaxing. It's like goi...

It actually was a late night. I fell asleep around 8 p.m. last night only to wake up at 11:50. The Orclette had a poopy diaper, which I changed, and then we both fell back asleep. I woke up again around 2:30, couldn't fall back asleep, and ended up finishing my current book of choice. Then another poopy diaper at 5:15 and another at 6 a.m. She isn't showing any signs of being sick so I'm going to blame teething. But today is going to be rough. We're in the middle of painting my lovely low table that was painted hideous colors of yellow and red a dark spruce. Actually it isn't we, it's my mother-in-law Audrey. Pregnant people shouldn't be near fumes. So I get to sit in my lovely rocking chair and watch :D We tried to watch "Beverly Hills Chihuahua" last night but I didn't get through 10 minutes. Boring boring boring. But then I've been finding a lot of movies boring that were Damm here I'd actually be interested in. Terminator: Salvation...

Memorial Day means, at least to me and my family, big humongo soccer tournaments. I know what it's actually about, of course, but all the soccer clubs would host their biggest and bestest tournament on that date because they could stretch it out over 3 days. This year, however, the Day is very different for me. Damm is only gone for training, not deployed in any danger zones, but my imagination is excellent. I can't watch the videos they played at church, with the graveyards and the soldiers saluting their fallen comrades. I tear up at the patriotic songs. And until Damm is retired from the military I don't know that I will ever enjoy this day. Respect, yes, honor, yes, but it will be a hard day to get through. Now on to happier things. The past 2 days I've played a DK over on Trollbane while the Orclette took her nap. Trollbane because bro-in-law is over there and I didn't really feel like talking to anyone. And I know I'm really, really late to this discovery...
