Squishing it does not, just as with my children, work at all.\n<\/li>\n<li> We have new across-the-street neighbors. Young couple, no children, a boxer dog.\n<\/li>\n<li>On Saturday we went canoeing on the K\u00e4vlinge River: 3 families in 3 canoes. No one fell in and the kids behaved beautifully. It was AWESOME. Then we ate a delicious dinner, prepared and grilled by my husband. It was AWESOME. Then we watched the Eurovision Song Contest until forever o&#8217;clock in the morning. It was, most decidedly, NOT awesome.\n<\/li>\n<li>Canoeing always makes me want to sing river songs at the top of my lungs, while on the water: <i>Moon River, Way Down Upon the Swanee River, Michael Row the Boat Ashore<\/i>, etc. I need more though. My repetoire of river songs isn&#8217;t nearly broad enough.\n<li>Sunday, on the other hand, was horrible. A huge downer-day.\n<\/li>\n<li> Having a daughter that wants to be a massage therapist when she grows up is also awesome. She&#8217;s constantly grabbing me and pounding the hell out of my back at the slightest provocation. <i>Mmmmmmmm<\/i>\n<\/li>\n<li>After not being able to decide what to do with our summer vacation, we&#8217;ve pretty much settled on doing it all. We&#8217;ll be going down to Germany, visiting Prague or Vienna for a couple of days, swinging through Paris and ALSO staying home to play in the&#8230;oh wait, see point number one.\n<\/li>\n<li>Monday was our last AWC meeting of the &#8220;season&#8221;, since we break until August, though there are still activities coming up and there are still newsletters and website to be dealt with each month. I didn&#8217;t care for the guest speaker, who was supposedly speaking on &#8220;Mindfulness Meditation&#8221; but made it through his half hour talk without saying ANYTHING OF SUBSTANCE WHATSOEVER about his subject. But we had a good turnout and lots of new people show up, which is always nice, though I miss some of the old ones.\n<\/li>\n<li>Tomorrow is our last choir evening: spring concert and then a dinner party afterwards. I&#8217;m dreading the concert, frankly.\n<\/li>\n<li>I feel like the definition of lethargic on so many levels, yet I have so much to do my head won&#8217;t stop spinning.\n<\/li>\n<li>Martin got signed up for 3 days of day camp in August. I remember day camp. I LOVED day camp. Making gods-eyes and dreamcatchers and potholders on those little metal frames. And learning to play balleke-stomp in the yard and &#8220;I doubt it&#8221; in the lounge and singing lots of songs.\n<\/li>\n<li>I kind of feel like moving. Must be the 3-year itch hitting me again at the (nearly) 6-year mark in this house. Maybe it was the across-the-street neighbors moving out this weekend that triggered it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>Bibbity Bobbity Bundles of Belated Birthday Wishes to <a href=\"http:\/\/nannergo.livejournal.com\/\" class=\"lj-user\">nannergo<\/a>!<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The pool has sprung 2 consecutive links in the 3 weeks we&#8217;ve had it. *sigh* Karin had a fever yesterday, I got the call at 10 a.m. and worked from home the rest of day, battling a crashy connection.
