We like to read

Well, it's summer 'round here. I need to remember to sign up Bubbie for the summer reading program. Although this parish is doing it different than past years so I'm not sure if it will work for him or not. Last year, we read and listened to books. I count listening to audio books in the car as time since we spent a lot of time doing it and it is just like something reading to him. And, of course, we read at home, usually just one story a night but sometimes he brings me or BT a lot of books. Currently his favorite book is Go, Dog, Go and my husband reads it to him. He does an excellent job with the voices. I'm not so good with that one, but I like reading Green Eggs and Ham. I've read that one to him since he was born. It's cute since whenever I read my books he will grab one and start "reading" it. Hopefully, he will be a reader like me.

It's no wonder

So various things are happening around my household. My father-in-law is offering to sell my husband is truck for a good price and BT really needs a new vehicle but things are interesting around my house right now regarding financing and jobs and stuff so we are trying to decide about that. Also the weekends are just crazy this summer. This weekend we went to the movies, I went shopping (alone), we went to my parent's, me and Bubbie went to my old work, etc. We are all feeling bad today.

And coming up, we are repainting the living room, dining room, and kitchen, going to a concert in New Orleans, going to a wedding, doing a workshop, and visiting with his family since his brother and family are coming down. Oh, and I am working a Saturday on the reference desk. That is just June. I'm hoping for a break in July.

My Present!

What everyone should get for their 31st birthday, the cutest bike ever!

On the occasion of my 31st birthday

So today is my birthday which regardless if you know me IRL or on the internet, I will have mention either on Facebook or Twitter. I love birthdays! I think that everyone should use their birthday to do the kinds of things they like to do or eat the foods they like to eat guilt-free.

At my new(ish) work, they have cake for the birthday person and usually go to lunch. But I have traditionally spent my birthday with my husband. So I'm getting off early, we are going to eat a delicious lunch and get my birthday present and then get the boy and spend the day together. I'm excited. Although, I wanted an iced mocha this morning and wasn't able to get one so boo! on that. But anyway, the cake(s) here were so cute and delicious and I'm getting a cookie cake tonight.

I can't really believe I'm 31 already. I don't feel that old and, thank God, I don't look that old. I'm not looking forward to telling people I'm 31 when they ask. The thing about being in your 30's is that you are suppose to be more mature. In your 20's people will chalk things up to your age but I no longer have that luxury. Not that I've ever really done anything too immature, I've been old for a long time. But I always had the option. Now I'm married with a kid in my 30's. People expect more out of you. But that's okay because today is my birthday. I'm not expecting anything out of me except a good time.

Graduation Parties and such

My sister-in-law (the young one) just graduated from college on Friday. I'm very proud of her. I've know her since she was 12 and now she's 22 and a college graduate. It's crazy how you can remember someone as a little kid and then all of sudden they are grown up. She is off to Boston University for grad school this fall and I'm kinda sad she is leaving even though I didn't see her but every couple of months. We are finally becoming friends I think now that the age gap doesn't seem as big and she is becoming more of an adult. It can be hard to relate when they is an almost 9 year age difference and I feel like everything I say sounds like advice when I don't mean it to sound that way. So anyway, now it's just me and BT left with their parents down here.

They had a party for her on Sunday so we went over there on Saturday afternoon and Bubbie and BT swam. Bubbie was not happy at first about going dressed to go swimming. He was a little tired and cranky when we got there, but he loves water so I knew he would have fun. He kept saying "No swim" but once we got him in the pool he didn't want to leave! I'll have to take to my mom's to swim a lot this summer. Then the party was Sunday afternoon so once we got up from our nap (Oops I fell asleep too), the people were starting to show up. It was a nice little party. Then we came home and hung out till it was time to go to bed. I think we are all tired today.
