So, we had the equinox and some snow, and that combination was pretty depressing.
But I'd actually like to focus on what was awesome about the world lately - it was 50+ degrees on Friday! THERE IS HOPE! Sophie and I walked around downtown WITH SWEATSHIRTS AND NOT COATS, and then we went to the aquarium, and that evening we had dinner at Erin and Jon's house (with both of Kai's grandmothers, too - Jon's mom gave Sophie a stuffed pig and Sophie impressed Erin's mom by gobbling up her lentil soup, and she petted a cat and climbed on and off the couch while we visited and drank wine and held tiny baby Kai.) It all felt so easy and fun, and it felt easy solely because we did not have to defend ourselves against the cold, trudge over the ice, and so on. Well, that and the fact that it is blessedly light until like 7:15 now.
Sunlight and not being freezing make me feel so much better about everything.
It has been busy here. Besides our fun day on Friday, we went downtown and walked a lot on Saturday with Meg and her girls. We browsed the bookstore and had french fries and beer at The Scuffer. Then my sisters were in town together on Sunday, and we hung out with them. I took Raina with me to the BPAL NEWC at Healthy Living. (When we walked in, Courtney briefed me on the various collections available for sampling and purchasing this time, and Raina says to me "Did you understand what all those words meant?" Yes indeed, I did. ;))
Yesterday, I drove Kelly Jean to the airport so she could leave for California - right before the snow started to fall here, grrr. ;) Then Sophie and I went to yoga, and after that we took Ryan home because it was snowing a lot and I did not want to have to go back out in it to get him. Today, Sophie and I went out to visit friends in town and tonight, we are hanging out with Eleanor and Adele while their parents go out for dinner. The rest of the week is busy, too!
So yeah, I have been busy with all of that day-to-day stuff and don't have a lot of interest to write about...maybe it's time for a few photos.

This one made me laugh - Eleanor and Sophie, playing with the Wii
