Bits and bites

The kidlet woke up the morning after my last post with a full-blown congested cold but no more fever or bellyache, so all was well.  Since then, it's been getting better daily and now she just gets the occasional sniffles.  Yay!  Immune system managing to keep up for once!

Me, I started taking the preventative dosage of Cold FX the very next day after both her and Dean were sick and I've so far (knock on wood) managed to fend it off.

So Saturday night, the kidlet and I were well enough to hang out at my brother's place for the evening playing video games.  We started with Rock Band because the kidlet LOVES playing the drums (takes after her Daddy).  I tried but I am SO not coordinated enough to use the foot pedal AND drum at the same time, so eventually my brother's fiance took over the foot pedal part while I held the kidlet's hands to drum and you know, we didn't do too badly.  It's a lot of fun.  Now if only he could have found the mic so I could have done me some singing... but then I never would have left.

He also showed me Wii Olympics.  I tried various activities and sucked at them all - couldn't seem to move fast enough. For four days afterwards, I was unable to unhook my bra strap without pain shooting through my triceps.  I'm thinking I'll have to build up a bit of muscle before I try THAT one again.

We had pizza for dinner and made sundaes for dessert.  My brother sure knows how to make a good sundae:  Breyer's Double Churned vanilla ice cream and a million different toppings (barn animal candies, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, peanut butter chips, candy sprinkles. Skor bar crumbles (drool), chocolate sauce, caramel sauce, strawberry sauce, fresh strawberries and bananas).  I couldn't breathe afterwards but it was SO worth it.  And I'm now seeing why he's finally getting some meat on his bones after all these years of being a stick figure.

Sunday was shopping/errands/laundry day, not much to report.  Monday was spent in the office.  Yesterday is a blur.  Oh wait - we rented Sweeny Todd.  Interesting.  Never knew Johnny Depp could sing.  Swoon.  I mean, not swoon over his Sweeny Todd character because ew, but swoon over the man himself.  Ahem.  Where was I?

Today I finalized the kidlet's daycare arrangements and she starts going three days a week in July.  She's totally excited about it so I'm hoping she doesn't think it's like Disneyland or something.  But every day she sees the daycare lady pick up some of the kids from her class and she wants to go with them.  So that's a good sign, right?  She'll do fine, right?  Have fun?  Not cry because I'm not there and the others aren't familiar with her quirks? 

No, it will be good for her. Much better than watching movies and playing on the computer all the livelong day while I slave away working, cleaning, cooking, etc.  And I'll still have four full days with her.  So yay!  Yay. 

Eep.

Interesting that you should mention Johnny Depp. I live in Oshkosh, Wisconsin where he spent the last week filming his latest movie 'Public Enemies' (he will play John Dilinger). He spent about two hours every night meeting and shaking hands with the people of our city - after spending 12 hours filming on the set. So, he not only has a good voice and is very good looking, he also is one heck of a nice guy! And yes, I did get to meet him myself. Very nice guy!!!
