Hey---Easter happened, Jake the fish and Leap the frog died, and I wiped my bike out trying to repair a trailer incident. That is the latest from Kim here....
Easter---- Wednesday was the MOPS Easter Brunch that I was able to set up for the gals. Everyone brought some yummy food and my personal favorite was the fruit Jen brought that I could of sworn tasted like she had lemon juice squeezed on it. Maybe I have been diving into the migraine meds a little too liberally but it was a big hit with everyone. Zach pounded a bowl of the yummy berries after the clean-up crew ( me and two other girls) made the rounds. Fun day and I was able to take some of the tulips home with me when one of my prize recipients did not claim her prize. The pie lady also provided me another free pie for a door prize. I was very lucky this year to have so many cool things to give away to my buddies. Only one more meeting in May and I can stick a fork in this year.
Jen and Dave hosted the Nurks this year and provided an incredible Prime Rib he made in his new giant green egg on the porch. The kids found the eggs in the backyard and the grandparents provided some fun toys to play with. If you ask Zach the best part of Easter, he will tell you about the gummies that light up and then you eat them. Kate enjoyed playing fetch with Hannah and finding a jawbone next to the creek in their backyard. Don't worry...it was not human.
Dead Fish and Frog Floating ---- I got a little cocky and posted a pic of my..ahem..the kid's prize beta fish here a couple of weeks ago. Well, I had read that these fish only live about 2 yrs in captivity. Mine made it almost 3 yrs...good ol' Jake. Rest In Peace in the sewer canal that I flushed you in. I am sorry you were probably dead for at least a day or two before I scooped you out. Spike was kinda freakin because he was sharing the water and did not like the stuff floating around the fish condo. Then there was our new friend, Leap. Katie noticed last week that the other frog seemed to hog all the food and not leave any for this little guy. I guess I should of crammed more food in there but I did not want to gorge the poor snail. Lots of stuff to worry about when you are trying to keep the perfect ecosystem. Now we are down to one fat frog. Since they prefer to live with company, I am guessing this guy has about two weeks tops before he bites the giant worm in the sky.
Bike goes boom---- Well I guess I need to do a better job at checking my bike but when I came up the hill from the rail trail on our Easter bike ride, the trailer snapped off and so I pulled over to the side to check out the situation. That is when my bike took a tumble on the sidewalk and I bent the little round part that holds the chain next to the wheel. Man I am cool. I have owned this bike for less than 6 months and will already have it in twice for repairs. Jeff is probably very happy we are refinancing the house. This is how we will pay for all my bike boo-boos.
Okay. Now I am on to an exciting week of volunteering at Katie's school, jazzercise, soccer practice, avoiding headaches and spending money. I live a charmed life and just glad I can pop a pill to keep the fun rollin. Look out 40!!! Here I come!
