The daddy and I spent a lot of today getting sentimental about the birth of our first daughter, six years ago, that is, when we weren't running ragged trying to put her party together. She had a great day, though she maintains that she's still five.

Too hot out and the storm never really happened; the kids are excited about the big birthday party this afternoon; I did my new Nia DVD and am up way too late baking birthday cupcakes...and the fridge smells like jello.

Poor full moon, I tend to blame so much on you, but today really did feel like a strange day, and yesterday was kind of odd as well.

Spent a lot of time this week working on the yard, which is surprising for me; the rose bushes look much better and I feel like I deserve my glass of wine tonight.

A dentist appointment doesn't really scream "start of a good day" to me, but it went well (no cavities!), then got some things done, tried a new quinoa recipe, and am feeling quite optimistic about improving our house and health this summer.

There are certain things that symbolize courtship for me --- authors, music, certain songs, some of the concrete things we used 13 years ago ---and the loss of those things creates an ache in my chest; nostalgia doesn't mean I dislike our present.
