Bare bones blogging

No frills, just stuff I've considered blogging. Key points are in BOLD in case you want to skim and read only some portions. See? I know how you are.

• There is a new Wendy's at the exit very near us. I didn't know it was there til today. I'm SO excited! Even though we don't do fast food hardly at all anymore, I do LOVE Wendy's and I'm pleased it's there if I get a couple extra bucks and a craving. I worked at Wendy's in high school, and though some people say when you work fast food you can never eat there again, I still love it. And I still dress my burgers in the same way they do, in the same order from the bun up. White, red, green, white, red, green. Mayo, ketchup, pickle, onion, tomato, lettuce. Mustard goes on the meat. Yum! Isn't it funny how I can't remember what I needed to get at the grocery store but I can remember the jingle from the training video that I watched in 1990!
  
  
• Yesterday at the mall, there was a pregnant woman standing next to her car in the Expectant Mother parking space...smoking. Ridiculous.
  
  
• I mowed the yard this weekend. We don't have a huge yard, but it's a decent size. I can't believe I used to *like* to mow the yard. The last few years we've had others mow for us, either in a barter for some other service or paying a family member or friend to do it. We were spoiled. Now we can't do that, so I mow. M's too allergic to do it. Lucky him. The saddest part to me was realizing that though this yard is not all that much bigger than our yard in C-U, there's one big thing missing... that big rectangle hole in the ground... *sigh* I miss our pretty pool.
  
  
• Kinlee is sleeping through the night and has been for about 8 or 9 days now. I didn't want to jinx it by talking about it, but I think it's a good routine at this point. She goes down by about 10 or so and gets up between 5 and 6. Then she goes back to sleep for another 2 to 3 hours, so that is very nice. I have a chance to get up when Braska does and have a little time with her first thing.
  
  
• I've been working on a PowerPoint for Braska, kind of like electronic flashcards, since she LOVES the computer so much. It's the alphabet, numbers 1 through 10, and colors. She is really blowing me away. The *first* time I showed it to her she got F - J and O-T right in the alphabet. Like me showing her and not prompting her verbally. Unbelievable. Sesame Street WORKS! Ha! She also did 2 through 10 the same way. I almost fell out of my chair! I'm trying to get video of it for proof. We go over them at least 3 or 4 times a day, and she requests it by coming up and telling me "Numbers!" when she wants to do it again. She just continues to amaze me! If you want me to email you the PowerPoint, drop me an email or a comment and I'll get it to you.
