i've been busy the past couple of weeks and haven't found the time to post until now. on top of that i can't ever remember my email and password to this site and thus go thru the process of trying to find my password.
yesterday we took the boy to baltimore to the aquarium. i think he had a good time, but i thought he'd enjoy watching the fish more. he wanted to flit from display to display and no matter how i tried to engage him in observing the animals (how many purple fish do you see? did you see nemo? what color's the starfish?) he'd want to dash to the next display. so much for trying to be the good mother (hence the title of this post). ate at espn zone. all the dishes they have there and what do i order? chickent finger appetizer and spring rolls. actually, i hated the spring rolls. they gave me such indigestion and gas.
i found a whole foods market down there and becos we don't have one in this neck of the woods googled directions and stopped in on our way home. good thing we don't have one. i'd blow our grocery budget in 5 minutes. really great stuff. our grocery stores only offer a smattering of organic foods and what they do offer is incredibly expensive. it's hard to find even a loaf of bread that doesn't have HFCS in it. i paid $3 for a loaf of bread that i could get maybe 4 loaves for the same price and about 10 times more slices but it's just not as healthy.
we went to baltimore becos hubby had a family "xmas in july" reunion in york on sunday. it was a good time - the kids played in the wading pool and had a peanut scramble and played kickball and soccer while the adults sat around and chewed the fat. it's always a little tense - we only see his (extended) family only once or twice a year, and there's always competition about who's doing what and who has what - this is the stuff i can't tolerate. so i just sit and knit on my sock and keep my mouth shut. oh, and we were supposed to eat around 1:30 - didn't really eat until 2:30-3. but i survived. i always do.
i got my favorite knitting magazines down at b&n. i should get subscriptions - they are british magazines - but i can only imagine what the subscription cost must be. i'll have to ask my knitting teacher if i can borrow her copies when she's done. i know she gets at least one magazine.
speaking of knitting, i'm still kinda stimied on xmas gifts. now i threw into the mix a throw to make for hubby's cousin's wedding next summer, plus xmas and b-day gifts, i'm going to be cramming for getting stuff done. hopefully i can make some hay when the boy goes to school. it's only for a few hours a week, but i can get a lot done in a few hours.
lots more has happened and i don't feel like taking the time to write about it.
