Good Friday

It's Friday. I worked my ass off all morning on my Women In Media class putting together a stellar set of readings - I hope anyway. Came home at lunch, hit the library for kid-entertainment so we won't go stir crazy during the frigid below-zero weekend (I will admit right here the thrill and victory I felt when I looked through the DVDs and actually found Meet the Robinsons). O's been wanting to see if for weeks now and it's always checked out (and I'm too cheap to rent it). I also picked up the newest Caldecott winner, The Invention of Hugo Cabret - holy cow! The drawings are amazing and the book is about 500 pages long! I'll see how far we get before I have to return it to the library.

Then I was off to the grocery store - always good to avoid the Friday afternoon or Saturday morning rush - and anytime I can go without a three-and-a-half-year-old, I snap up that opportunity. Came home, put everything away. Made sure M was doing okay (he had knee surgery Wednesday - 5th scope - ouch!). He's good, but his knee looks totally puffy, lumpy and yellow. Note to self: O will not be a high jumper, or play catcher on a baseball team. Those activities will ruin your joints for life.

Just made "healthy" rice crispie-ish treats. Not sure there is such a thing. The marshmallows alone have 1000 calories. O can eat them. He's all brand new and doesn't seem to be slowed down by such things as too many calories or sugar comas.

I've got my iPod Touch going - currently Frank Black "(Do What You Want) Gyaneshwar" and now INXS "Don't Change. All in all a good Friday. Now to go get the kid. It was Hat Day at daycare today. Someone always comes in a cowboy hat. O wore his Jacks babseball cap. Cute cute.

The low tonight with the wind chill is supposed to be 37 degrees BELOW zero. Super!
