The Sunday Somethings, May 17
May 17th, 2009Others writing The Sunday Somethings: Audrey
I’m writing this a few days early and setting it to publish on Sunday (something I’ve been doing quite often lately with other posts). Hopefully, we’ll be on a ship in the middle of the Atlantic at the time that this gets published.
Something that made me smile this week: Finding stylish new sunglasses thanks to a good friend and a successful last minute lunchtime shopping trip on Friday. I haven’t bought new sunglasses in years.
Something I’m thinking: As of right now (late Friday afternoon), I’m pretty much thinking about the trip! I’ve had a hard time thinking about anything else for the past few days (mostly about everything I need to make sure that I don’t forget to pack, confirmations that I need to print, directions that we might need, bus and ferry schedules, etc).
Something I am hoping: I’m hoping we’re having a great time on the cruise!
Something happening around the house: My sister is possibly at our house…right…now…or sometime today, anyway. Otherwise, I’m hoping that not very much is happening at our house, since we’re on a ship.
Something I’m reading: I read a little bit more of Parenting, Inc., which is again for the Mothers & More book club in June. It’s interesting, but I’m having a hard time getting motivated to read it. I didn’t pack it for the cruise. I decided to bring Harvesting the Heart by Jodi Picoult, Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman, and Can You Keep a Secret by Sophie Kinsella. Practical Magic is my regular book club’s selection for May, so hopefully I’m making progress on it.
Something tasty I ate this week: I had a tasty brownie, marshmellow, and chocolate fudge icing dessert at work. It’s hard for me to resist lunchtime sweets at work. They almost always have a cookie or a pie or cake that I can’t resist.
Something Maddie did this week: Maddie woke up screaming on both Wednesday and Thursday nights and was inconsolable. Hopefully, she did not continue that trend once we embarked on our trip.
Something I struggled with this week: I struggled with how to pack for two adults and a toddler for a 5-day Bermuda cruise. The pre-vacation stuff can really get me stressed!
Something I’m doing towards my goals: While on the cruise, I plan to encourage Gabe to get a massage and get one for myself. That covers two items on my goals list. Oh, and soon we should be able to mark “Install more baby gates” off the list. Gabe installed the one at the bottom of our steps this week, and he intends to put another at the top. As for the ongoing goals, we are currently fulfilling “take at least one family vacation each year.”
Something I learned this week: I learned that I LOVE my new Mother’s Day iPod Touch.
Something I’m looking forward to next week: I guess I’m still looking forward to Bermuda, technically, since we haven’t gotten there yet. I’m also looking forward to the Games Day/Night that we’re hosting when we get back.
Something random: Does anyone else think that Bermuda looks like a long face in profile? See the eye at Harrington Sound? The long nose at Spanish Point? I always think that Bermuda is a laughing head. Maybe that’s just me.
Something I captured: Here’s where we are going to be tomorrow and Tuesday (we are planning to go to St. George’s, Horseshoe Bay Beach, and the Gibb’s Hill Lighthouse – we’re docked at the Naval Dockyard):

i definitely see the face, though to me it looks like a “bad guy” from a fantasy story, more like his face is just a skull. And he’s throwing crackers into his mouth.
