1. It's been a warm, sunny, lazy day around here, and we all needed it. The boys are playing contently together (imagine that, not beating each other up) in their room, and I might take them out for pizza later. Just one of those perfect life kind of days.
2. I used to be angry that my professors all lied to my face, saying "Suuuuuure, there are definitely plenty of opportunities for music educators!" But of course they'd say that, I was paying tuition. Now, I'm angry at myself for not following my other, more lucrative, interest: accounting. D'oh.
3. I like to watch nature do its thing. Sometimes, there is nothing better than watching a bee go about his business, or watching the leaves blow in the wind. And no, I'm not high while typing this.
4. The battery for this laptop is doing poorly. It doesn't hold a charge for two full hours any more. Sometimes I get 90 minutes, sometimes less, but I doubt anyone has a compatible one in stock for this dinosaur. I might end up with a non-wireless laptop... totally defeats the purpose.
5. My license expires on my bday this month. I can't get a new one from NH, so I will end up with a CA one. This morning, I put make up on, straightened my hair, picked a slimming outfit, then checked the DMV's website to see when they opened. Apparently, today is Cesar Chavez Day, which means all the DMVs are closed. FAIL.
6. Late night for Hubby tonight. I knew this last quarter would be more time-consuming! But at least he comes home at the end of the day. :)
7. I'm getting ready for a ski trip with my brother and sister next weekend (sans kids- Hubby is staying home with the boys). We're headed to Squaw, my first west coast skiing experience! I got a great ski package from the Army MWR (helmet included), so I'm really psyched. They're going to be coming to visit for several days, too. The boys always have such a good time with them, I can't wait!
8. Today is the first day this year that the windows have been open all day long. I love having fresh air circulate in the house.
9. Baseball season has started here. The little league fields down the hillside are packed, and we can hear the crack of the bats and the parents cheering from our deck. It just adds to my perfect day.
10. I've been thinking a lot about our life post-Navy. Not sure why now... probably because the boys are both here now and growing up. I daydream a lot about our future house, where we'll live, what the boys will be like once they are in school, etc. It's not as far off as one would think. Hubby and I have been married nearly 7 years- he has less than that to go until retirement, and it seems like we were married just last week.

We've been married 7 yrs too, with a little less than that until hubs is out of the Navy too. I feel like there are a lot of people in this spot right now.
I think of nature when I watch my dog destroy a brand-new toy in 20 minutes. I wonder what part of his biology makes him do that?
