It may sound strange, but there is something I enjoy about doing laundry and washing dishes (no, of course not always). Maybe it's the cool spring air this morning, or the clouded light coming through the windows...maybe it's just the caffeine from my morning cup of coffee. Whatever it is, I'm feelin' good. I've been a little blah the past couple of days, and everyone has those blah days. No doubt the weekend's arrival plays a part in my lifted mood, and it gives me a bit of energy -- thank goodness, because I've been pooped the past few days.
Miles has been entertaining us more and more (just in time, what with my folks making a visit soon!). I've lately tried to read Goodnight Moon to him every night before bed, plus one or two other books, but Moon is our constant. His words and talking are getting better and better all the time, so I began pausing before certain words to see if he would fill in the blank. And he did! We got it on video last night, because it's hilarious watching his face on some of the words (the raised eyebrows and the twisting little mouth), but I'm going to try and get a recording on the computer that I can share at some point. I have to do it without him knowing, but I'm sure he'll think it a bit odd that we're reading at the iMac.
Tomorrow is our third co-ed softball game. Last Saturday I did much better than I had done in the first game. I caught two fly balls (I play left field), managing to somehow bruise my right palm on the second catch. I got some okay hits, nothing spectacular...and we didn't win, but we had some awesome innings. Our infield made some incredible plays! The season really doesn't last very long at all, just a couple of months, so I try and savor every game no matter the heat index for the day. Okay, sometimes it does get to me, but overall it's totally worth it.
I've been wanting to come up with my own meme for the blog...like 'Fun Friday Question' or something to that effect. Of course, if no one ends up answering the question then what's the point? Maybe I'll just share a special themed photo each week, but I'd much rather have some interaction with friends/readers/fellow bloggers. And if you have any suggestions concerning the meme idea, please feel free to share!

I like the idea for the "Fun Friday Question". I may not do it every Friday, but I would participate when I could.
Yay, Shell-Bell! Thanks for the input...now I just need to come up with a really good first 'Fun Friday Question'! =)
I'd participate! :) On at least one of my blogs. Hahaha.
My kids love Goodnight Moon!
I'd comment you on that question! By the way, we bought our little baby his first book last weekend & it was "goodnight moon". My Dad & I had this thing about the moon, and in Optometry school we learned what a great book it is for baby's eye movements (looking for the different objects). Yay for Miles!Joy
Yay Sarah! Cool...I gotta start thinking... =)
Oh, Joy, your baby will love Goodnight Moon! It's so sweet and fun and cute...and apparently easy on the eyes too! =)
