so i have some very intelligent friends. and it sounds like we all need to grab us a wallace stegner novel. stat.

which i will. because i have a plan.

july: update future classes. finish updating all photo albums. 5 years worth. for there will be no time for photos for 5 more years come the end of august.

august: focus. on. two. things. plus a little bit more. for august will be the end. of life. as. we. know. it. kindergarten begins. and i will not work for the first two weeks. only walks to school. and bonding. and a lingering with the final whisperings of toddler-ness. and weekends shall be devoted to freezing meals. 8 months worth. for that will be the next time that i might breathe long enough to cook.

and perhaps. somewhere. sometime. i can throw in a bit of wallace. just for fun. for fall will shroud all reading with discipline and learning. and novels will be replaced with responsibility. and due dates.

in pursuit of...

I had this evening to myself.

I could have been productive.

Updating and prepping my course for fall semester. Relearning math skillz for the GRE. or. better yet. writing a talk for Sunday.

Instead. I spent all evening creating the image you see above.

Thanks Cassandra for giving me something to do.

While I'm here, let's have a bit of a story:

Sunday night we arrived home from visiting Oregon Grandparents.

Monday, around midnight, Clin walked into Millie's room to check on her.

She stood up on her bed and declared:

I want to go back to grandmas.

Then promptly layed back down and returned to sleep.


p.s. Millie was the stylist for the photo. She really did her hair like this. this morning.
