What I think I know

I think Lucy likes to where a birthday hat on her birthday.
I think she likes that we acknowledge that she was born.
I think she likes to get gifts.
I think she likes to eat cake (maybe has a sweettooth ) .
What I hope she knows is that she is loved very much and we are happy to have her in our lives.
So happy birthday Lucy !!

Sit and read a bit ….

I am not sure when is the last time I posted anything. Jen and I have been very busy. February was full of b-days, work days, and just life.

Xochitl turned 8, my father turned 77 Joel turned 47, and Danny turned 17. Happy birthday again to all of you. All four birthdays had parties and time spent with family.

Valentines day was a great day. Jenn and I gave a $20 limit to eachother this year. She got me a nice journal, organic dark chocolate and almond bar, and two favorite magazines I enjoy to read weekly. I gave her gloves I knit myself, lavendar bath oil I made myself, earrings, and a movie night of her choice. I rented a DVD she wanted to see, made her a tub of popcorn, and got small bags of her favorite candy. It was a nice night we also tried our new fondu set. I also came to the realization that I do not like chocolate on strawberries.

This past month I went to see The Reader, The Wrestler, then with Jenn we saw Curious Case of Benjamin Button. All three movies were great, but I still think Slum Dog Milliionare was the best movie so far I have seen this year.

Work still is shit. Still hate my job. Still pat myself on the back when I leave work and have not ripped anyone’s face off. Still have to get up in the dark 5AM !!! Still hate it. It’s still cold and I want to go somewhere warm, and maybe stay there.

This past weekend Jen and I went to an RV show. We walked around and looked at all the beauty they have. Everything you need to live in at your finger tips. We stepped into a couple. We imagined what it would be like to sell the house or rent it, buy an RV, and just travel. When we need money we stop and find work, then keep moving. What a perfect life that would be. I know as long as I had Jenn by my side I would be happy. This is something I am sure we will bring up again and look into the possibilities.

The past couple of days Jen and I have been fighting off a cold. we are trying everything in our power not to get sick, but I think my I am losing my battle, Jen is holding her own.

All in all life at 284 Main is great . Peace and love all who enter here.

Busy week better weekend

This week just flew by and I like that because we get to look forward to the weekend. This week we will be spending some time with my parents. My father will be 77 on the 10th. We love b-days, and this past week we had family and friends over to celebrate Lucy’s b-day. She turned three. She had a great time and really enjoyed all of her gifts. After everyone left she fell asleep.

I was looking over some of my cookbooks and I think I am going to try something new. I want to run what I plan to make past my mom as my dad at times can be a bit picky. Jenn is baking a cake, and I made my father a really nice scarf, and we will be also be giving him the gift of time. A variety of vouchers for different household chores. I know my dad will have no problem in cashing in any of them. This is all stemming from us still trying to simplify. So far so good and it feels great. I am trying to join a group of people that are all for this kind of “movement”. I think it is a good idea to surround ourselves with people that are not in the same mindset as everyone else.

Peace an love
