Wowee Zowee

Ok.

So many good things have been going on lately I don't know where to begin.

First off, today was another great days with my daughters. When I came home they were playing across the street with their friend Madison and so I managed to mow about 2/3 of the lawn. Since A. is taking her all day nurse certification exam tomorrow I will be at home and can finish mowing then.

When they got home we all had dinner, A. made us really good sandwiches on quite possibly the freshest and softest rolls ever. Needless to say we were happy. My girls are starting to see how good food really can be! Then we all got our sneakers and light jackets on and headed to the park, about a mile away. They rode their new birthday bikes and I jogged behind them. We met a neighbor and spoke tohim for a while, he's another older retired guy who is really fascinated with the twins. He just got a new car it was a Mercury Zepyhr which I of course had nevr heard of but it had a 6 cd stereo and global positioning satellite for driving and he was so excited that I told him it was amazing and he was happy. He told me he was happy I always beep at him when I roll by with the twins onthe weekend and his wife wanted to know who it was always beeping at him. Kinda funny.

At the park we had a blast we played tag, pushed them on the swings, then they rode their new bikes around for a while and went down the slides and then we had a race back home which of course J. won as usual. I hope both of my girls will be runners because they really are good and they are into it. It never ceases to amaze me how interested they are in things I am interested in, whether it be running, or reading, or baseball, or soccer, or science- fiction.

Ok other wonderful things for today. i had an awesome wicked long "conversation" with my friend R. this morning at work which made me feel so good. I am so glad he moved to Chicago, he is so friendly and such a nice guy. He truly reminds me of my sister J. because he always is in a goo dmood, positive, and he has that rare gift of making those around him feel better about themselves, which is pretty powerful I think.

A. studied and studied like crazy today and she is still a bit nervous but she was happy with all my help so that felt GREAT. It seems like over the last few months she is finally really starting to realize how much I do for her and the family. WE were talking last night about how we wish we had more money but we agreed that the amount of time we are spending with our children is so valuable for them that we are "good parents" and doing a good job so far.

Right, so then I cranked out a nice 5.25 miles on the treadmill after all the girls went to sleep (including A.)

Tomorrow will be nice to drive the twins to and from school, finish the yardwork, do a short run, and finally blast the stereo in the basement. I can do these things when the girls are at school and A. is taking her exam!

Oh shucks. The other cool things. See, really are many today!! Well, I heard from my sister J. over in England and she finally finished watching Six Feet Under season 5, the final season. We shared some cool thoughts of the final episode, especially the ending montage where the entire family's future and subsequent deaths are shown. My sister is amazing, she understood everything I felt about the episode. It was something else.

And my Radiohead tickets arrived via Federal Express. I am still not entirely sure what happened about this concert. I ended up thinking about it often and decided finally to spend the big mnoney to get the sold out tickets via a ticket agency because music is so important to me, Radiohead in particular for reasons I will share another night because now I am tired and off to bed.

Nighty night.
