Hi. How are you today? The week is half over. Does that make you happy?
It looks like rain, which I guess shouldn't surprise me as much as the fact that it isn't currently raining. I don't mind the raininess, except for one thing: I wish I could spend a little more of my favorite season outside. On the whole, though, I am pretty cheerful. I'm waiting for the mail, and waiting for the rain, and waiting for the pork chops to thaw. I thought again about the library, but the weather report seems a little violent. I wouldn't want to be out with the kids and have a rough storm hit that I would then need to drive home through.
Helena is going to borrow my Series of Unfortunate Events.
A friend of mine was complaining about Arizona, and how racist they are there. She is married to a Latino man, so I can see where her worry comes from. But I would like to point out that the people in the part of Arizona I lived in were many things (plenty of them unpleasant), but they were not racist. Prejudiced, yes, but not racist. See, they didn't much care who was what race, but they were a bit slanted against anyone who wasn't fluent in Spanish, anyone who worked for the border control, and anyone who was from the north or east. The vast and staggering majority of the population were from Mexico at some point in their histories. And I would take a stab at a guess and say that many more than half were illegal. They thought that was an okay and fine thing. That's why this law is a statement that needs to be made. Illegal = not legal = against the law = criminal. No, really. Come over and live here. I don't particularly mind. But do it the right way. Please. But to make my point: an area that is 85-95 percent of Mexican descent is really not prejudiced against people of Mexican descent. Please feel free to visit your friends in Arizona. You are quite safe.
I am in the mood to travel. Alas, traveling is not in the immediate plan. Let's pretend you just won 10,000 dollars in the lottery. Where would you go? Although, now that I think of it, several of you are already scheduled for some international travel this season. Well, all I can say is that I hope you take lots of pictures!
The mail came!! I checked out League of Extraordinary Gentlemen from Netflix. I've never seen it. I was super excited, but now I'm not sure. Maybe the kids will go to bed early so Josh and I can watch it tonight. Whether I like it or not, it will at least be something new to watch. So, yay!
Grant and Abbie are being Hiccup and Toothless. Very cute. "Hey Tooo-tha-less! Here's your fish!" I had to take all of Abbie's hard back books today. It's not the first time she's knocked them off her bookshelves, and she knows perfectly well that she's not supposed to get them without asking for my help. We've also been trying new and exciting potty training techniques. Zero successes so far. Grant has holes in all his sweat pants. Thank goodness shorts season is right around the corner.
Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday!!! Wish me luck with my movie watching!
