We still can’t find the chord for the camera so I can’t upload any pictures so I suppose I need to actually write something. It won’t be interesting, just an FYI.
Courtney and I are having a good time here in CT. I have to admit, I miss living here. I miss being close to my family. I may have looked at real estate online last night for at least an hour. Maybe. Possibly. Most definitely.
On Sunday, my brother, his wife, their new baby, C and I all walked into the town center for some lunch. And just to walk. It was a beautiful day here. I really envied their cute little home, excellent backyard, and the ability to walk to the Center for some good food, exercise, shopping or coffee. They’re only 1/2 mile from the Center, and spitting distance from the park where I fed the ducks as a kid. (One time, I was feeding the ducks and forgot to let go of the bread. I’m pretty sure we were all surprised when I ended up in the little pond.) My trip has been bringing back lots of memories of growing up here and what a great place this was to be a kid. I don’t know that I’m really ready to move back, and it would take a TON of convincing to get Paul to even think about it, but there would definitely be some benefits.
Anyway… Courtney has been having a great time with her grandparents. My dad took her out walking on Monday and Courtney discovered her shadow for the first time. I missed it but apparently she was confused as to why it was following her and then she kept trying to step on it. I was very fortunate to have my dad come home a little early from work on Monday so I could get to the gym. He’s really awesome, he didn’t want me to lose my gym momentum!! I’m glad I went because I then had pizza for dinner (with a salad, whatever) and ice cream for dessert (low fat, whatever) and then leftover pizza for lunch on Tuesday and potato chips. Hmmm, healthy.
Courtney met her new cousin for the second time on Monday and the encounter went a little better. I’m pretty sure Courtney was a bit more with it that time. She kept waving to Payton and seemed a little miffed that she wouldn’t wave back. That may take a while, I hope she’s patient.
We had a crazy busy day on Monday and a not so busy day on Tuesday. I haven’t been sleeping that well so I napped both Monday and Tuesday. The good news about that is that Courtney also napped, so we both got some sleep. The bad news: because I was napping, I wasn’t bathing. Good hygiene has really gone by the wayside lately. I’m hoping to take Courtney to the new, super fabulous science museum tomorrow, the super fabulous museum that doesn’t allow strollers. Well, they allow them but would prefer you not bring them. Whatever, I can’t lug my kid all over some museum. I may be working out and in decent shape but she’s heavy, yo.
Well, this post is clearly going nowhere. If you’re still with me, feel free to leave now. I’m sure you’re bored silly. I know I am.
