Hola

I really should have blogged yesterday since I was off. Especially after my "jelly bean" post. Things are quiet on the home-front. That means I'm happy.

I dragged myself to the pool yesterday. Met my friend Sarah there, for the first time. It's really not a place to be social since we were both swimming and had only a few minutes afterward to talk. Maybe we'll do it again and water walk when we're done with the swim. I've never had anyone to go to the gym or pool with. It's what I'm used to, so it's fine, but yesterday was nice.

I went to Panera's for lunch. Then to school conferences. Emily is doing well and her teachers like her. I'm not surprised. She's friendly, funny and outgoing.

We watched a few episodes of Fringe. Then we heard a loud crash on the deck. We looked out to see a huge raccoon. The shepherd's hook that was holding the suet was laying on the deck, with the raccoon trying to open the feeder. I've never seen a raccoon in person, and we were both freaked out by it! I haven't had suet out in years and just put it out yesterday. That's the end of that. I don't want to encourage him/her to come back.

This is pretty boring, but I wanted to write something!

Anyone going out for Valentine's Day? I'll be staying in. What else is new?

Happy Friday!
