I got to swim 2 miles today! So I went further! And did 2.25! I might possibly be nuts! It's probably the first time in ...um, well, a long time. ...that I've swum laps outdoors. At 7:30 in the am. In the mist. Actually, the Y here is nice and when I asked if I could bring the boys in, the staff was really laid back and "Sure, not a problem!" So that will be an activity one day this weekend. Zoo, definitely, maybe with afternoon swim? I don't expect I'll be getting any more swimming before monday.

Got D off to school this am without a hitch. Tyler apparently kept asking for me at the preschool this am. Picked him up and came back to pick up some snacks, then we spent a couple hours at a really nice playground. It's kinda thick out there right now.

Oh, and the boys totally schooled me on Angry Birds. I didn't know the damned things could fragment and power boost and all that. Um.

Kinda expecting it to storm in a bit. Might enlist the boys making cookies in a bit. Probably back to playing with cars soon.

Thanks!

Well, today was my knitting group at lunch. . . guess what I forgot to bring with me?

lunch??

Knitting.

A group?

In "my diamond shoes aren't the only thing killing me" news, S. left the house with both lighters and I can't find any matches.

Stove burner?

Electric stove!

But he came home. And I scolded him. And then smoked a cigarette, of course.

You can light a cigarette on an electric coil, Amy, I have demonstrated through experimentation. Like using the car's lighter. Maybe not one of those glass-topped types, though.

Of course, the day I forget my knitting there is a reporter from the school newspaper there. . . well a photographer. So, I borrowed a friend's knitting project so that she (the photographer) could take a picture of two people who appear to be knitting.

I'm not sure what the interest is - but a couple of week's ago somebody from a tv journalism class did a little video of the knitting group.
