What's Up Wednesday

Monday - lasagna
Tuesday - leftover lasagna
Wednesday - Salmon
Thursday - Turkey Burgers
Friday - Grilled Chicken
Saturday - Out

What I'm reminiscing about...
Our lovely weekend away last weekend, you can read about that here.  Aside from the fact that Dave and I just went to Europe by ourselves in January, we don't often get away by ourselves, and it was so nice to not have to worry about how to entertain our children.  I mean, I still felt I needed to point out farm animals on the side of the road, or note where the playgrounds were located, but mostly we could just relax about that sort of thing.  

What I'm loving...
I love Drake on the sidelines of the Raptor games. Some people think he is a little over the top and that he shouldn't be heckling the other team, but I do not care.

What we've been up to...
All of the sports - E has t-ball at least twice a week and now soccer twice a week.  Poor Q doesn't have his own sport yet, but he doesn't mind hanging on the sidelines.  Trying to stay organized is challenging and I am always grateful I only have one kid in sports (so far), I can't imagine 3 or 4!!

What I'm dreading...
Nothing worth mentioning

What I'm working on...
Nothing specific - all of the things that we are always working on, but with summer sports thrown in!

What I'm excited about...
I am always excited when the weather turns nice and we can spend evenings outside.  We are cooped up for too long in the winter time and I love getting some fresh air.  

What I'm watching/reading...
We are watching the NBA Finals, Motherf*ckers!!! I know, I know, calm down, but it's kind of a big deal for us long suffering Raptor fans.  We are here for it!


I posted about the books I read in May here.
Next up is Transcription and The Home for Unwanted Girls.  

What I'm listening to...
Taking a break from reading last week and this week to catch up on my Armchair Expert podcasts. I don't listen to everything, just the people I know, just finished up Hasan Minhaj (former Daily Show writer, now has own Netflix show), and next up is Samin Nosrat (chef and writer of Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat, also on Netflix)

What I'm (not) wearing...
I had to take my wedding rings off this week.  Does this ever happen to you?  The skin on my finger was getting all flaky, so I took my rings off and cleaned them, and then will let my finger get back to normal before putting them back on. 

What I'm doing this weekend...
E has two t-ball games and his last swimming lesson.  We will also do some stuff around the yard, BBQ, take the duvet covers off, and maybe get Q's haircut.

What I'm looking forward to next month...
My birthday, a work trip, Father's Day, the last day of school, and camping

What else is new...
Q's new thing is asking for "two minutes" when we say it is time to go to bed, or turn the TV off, or go somewhere in the car.  It's kind of cute, but he doesn't actually know what two minutes is so he just keeps asking for more.

Linking up with Shay and Sheaffer.

  1. I will fully admit that we are bandwagon Raptors' fans -- you know, cheering on Canada's only NBA team to glory -- and Drake also confuses me! But it's been so fun to watch and I'm really happy for long-time Raptors' fans.

    And yes, to loving this weather -- when it's not raining that is.

  2. I get an itchy rash all around my wedding ring every now and then and have to take them off each night while I sleep to try and prevent it (often though I forget to put them back on!). My husband and I just went away for a 3 day weekend without the kids; we try to do that once a year and it is so very nice... even if I do think every now and then that we need to get back to whatever locale we're at with the kids so they can see some of the same stuff we saw.
