Bad Weekend

-
So this weekend was supposed to be our super fun family trip to Portland for my friend Molly's wedding.  United Airlines had other plans for us...  Even though we had our boarding passes in hand and arrived at the airport at 6 AM Friday morning (for our 7:30 AM flight), United's computer systems halted us checking Lily's car seat.  It's a long story but we ended up missing our flight, being placed on standby for an 11:45 flight, not making that flight, and then being told that the chances of us making it to Portland on United or any other airline that day or the next were really slim.  I felt horrible having to cancel on Molly the day before her wedding!  All weekend I've been so sad, thinking about all of the fun that was going on there without us.  :(

To top it off, United managed to send our bags (with our house and car keys inside) & Lily's car seat to Portland without us.  Matt had to take a cab to our apartment, get let in by our landlord, then drive back to the airport to pick Lily up in his car, and I drove my car home.  


It was a bad day that turned into a bad weekend as Lily and I both got colds that kept us on the couch for most of the weekend.


Goofing at the airport before we realized we weren't going to make our initial flight.

Playing on a bath mat and trying to put on my underwear after we finally got back to our apartment on Friday afternoon.

Underwear on... sort of.

Playing with Daddy.

Eating soup for dinner on Saturday night.

More soup.

Our sick den all weekend.

I don't know how much of a party we'll be able to have for Lily's 2nd birthday but there will be homemade Sesame Street party hats!  I just need to roll and staple them and we'll be all set.

Wearing Daddy's flip flops today.

Mommy napping and Lily resting this afternoon.

Playing before her bath tonight.

She's such a little monkey now and climbs all over everything!

Holy smokes, I haven’t blogged since our November vacay to French Polynesia!!!!  I knew it had been a while but didn’t realize how far off the blagon I was! So much has happened in the past 2 months for us all & it feels a bit silly to blog about anything but at the same time, we all probably benefit from a little distraction, right? There have been a ton of tips out there about working from home.  Having given my share  already , I didn’t really read anything that I wasn’t already generally aware of and for the first month of quarantine it was pretty much business as usual for me. All that changed until almost 3 weeks ago when Matt reentered the corporate world.  His desk in the cave wasn’t going to work anymore.  With COVID-19, the kids are all home all day except for a brief walk or two and they need that space to play.  Plus, even if we could get them to stay out of the cave, he would still hear them ...

January 2021

Good gods, it's been so long I almost don't know where to start!  Despite 2020 being 2020, we still had a really nice end to the year.  That period from Halloween to Christmas is always my favorite and still felt special even though we didn't get to do some of our traditions like the annual Christmas tree lighting on the Pier. In some ways I'm actually finding 2021 to be rougher than 2020.  We've turned the page on the year but in LA we haven't really turned the page on the pandemic yet.  As of a few days ago we were still hovering above the 15% ICU bed availability so it's hard to feel a sense of progress, even as so many other places seem to be on a path to normalcy.  We're also in the midst of our umpteenth COVID scare of the past year with our umpteenth suite of negative test results to match.  I don't understand how it's possible for our family to get so many colds when we barely leave the house. Despite all that, we've been keeping busy...

Gettin' Back in Shape

After losing most of my Jason-weight pretty quickly, I've stalled hard the past few months.  I don't have any excuses but I have a ton of reasons: I really enjoy having wine with dinner most nights. I really enjoy having something sweet after dinner most nights. I really don't enjoy running or any sort of cardio-aerobic activity. I really hate counting calories or keeping a food journal. I seem to always have morning calls, which cause me to miss the exercise class that I like the best.  Every time I got into a rhythm, I would get interrupted with another project that requires morning calls. I can lose weight pretty easily when I actually get my butt in gear so I never feel a sense of urgency about it. I was still nursing and hungry all the time. I could go on & on b ut after weaning Jason about a month ago, I lost that last one.  Since then, I started working out with a trainer every Tuesday afternoon & going to her group class every Friday morning. I...
