it snowed last night... clayton and i were dashing to the market for some dinner things, and when we came out, the first few fluffy flakes were drifting down. it's a very soft, light snow, perfect for snowballs and such. clay went out this morning and built a pretty big snowman, and decorated it with the rest of his birthday bouquet. maybe we'll get a picture of him (tho i still haven't figured picture storage yet... hmmm).
the day before, clay and i had a great day together (well, linc was schlepped along, but it was clayton's day). we went to a science store, out for lunch, to the steamboat arabia museum, walking around city market, over to crown center and science city. we even found out that union station had reopened its planetarium, and got to be the only viewers for our own private showing of a film on SETI! he's a great kid and i'm so lucky to have him. he's on the verge of teenhood, and i see steps towards that realm of resistance and testing, and so these moments where he still delights in dashing through a little fairytale town are still sweet.
julia got up early this morning to be my Dance Dance Revolution coach, and we took turns for about an hour before everyone else got up and joined us. i'm not doing so bad, but there's a sharp learning curve on this game... once i get past the first hard bit, i know it'll get easier. i read a newspaper thing that said it's easier to lose weight by dieting and exercise, with an emphasis on dieting... and it's easier to keep weight off by dieting and exercise, with an emphasis on exercise. so DDR is gonna be the exercise portion of my get-healthy program... i'm trying to eat a bit less, but that's been hard because the baby's been nursing like anything, and i'm STARVING all the time. hopefully the nursing will take care of the caloric part. we'll see...
bill and i are supposed to be finishing up a brochure for the International Jugglers Association, and he accidentally sent out a part of it before i got to proofread it. i got all pissy 'cos it was missing stuff i knew but hadn't talked with him about, and now it's going to look like we didn't communicate. well, we DIDN'T communicate and i'm mad at myself for not being on the ball. so now i should be working on that and i'm doing this instead. grr.
so... off to slap this brochure into shape. pictures soon, i hope....
