... aka, why I haven't had more time to blog other than random bits and pieces on my Tumblr blog, which is still pretty up-to-date: http://hellykwee.tumblr.com
I thought April was busy. And it was. But we're barely into May and I just know I'm going to be in non-stop mode till the end of it, especially THIS year!
We kicked things off with my birthday today (a day I share with FOUR other people that I know of. One of them on the same year, even!). Nothing eventful-- I actually spent 9 hours shopping with my son in a town 40 miles north of here (it has a Wal-Mart, FoodsCo and Dollar Tree, so the savings is well worth the trip up there)-- well, 7 hours shopping and 2 hours driving back and forth. Still, it was nice to let Allan have some peace and quiet in which to work, and fun to hang out with my little man all day.
Since we didn't get a chance to clean up today, tomorrow shall be cleaning day after church, and then I have to head to Todd's school to finish inventorying uniforms. Also planning a trip to the library to get some more books and videos for the little man.
The birthdays continue-- tomorrow belongs to a friend from church. Since Tuesday brings Cinco de Mayo, we're all getting together at her place for a tri-fold celebration.
Then comes Mother's Day next weekend. Weekend after that is the California Strawberry Festival. I've been meaning to go for the past 6 years, but each and every year, SOMETHING has come up that prevented me from going. This year, by golly, I'm bound and determined to go ;-) That weekend is also the wedding of some college friends of mine, so it will be good to catch up with the old geek crowd again.
Then comes Todd's birthday. Little man turns 5! FIVE!! Where does the time go!? He's not so little any more! The weekend following Todd's birthday (if it doesn't already fall on a weekend) is always Memorial Day weekend, so hopefully that 3-day weekend will provide a little breather (not likely, if we're holding the family celebration in LA that weekend).
The last Saturday of May will be Todd's karate tournament, followed by the kiddie celebration (all his school friends) at the playground in our apartment complex, for his birthday.
Whew! Busy busy busy month. It's kinda sad when I look forward to Mondays solely because the routine of work provides a respite from the hectic busyness of these crazy weekends!
Blast! So many birthdays, I NEED to keep a calendar! Happy belated, by a few hours, LOL. This is also the danger that comes with my not logging in to my facebook every day--a large chunk of my online friends have moved solely to facebook and/or other sites like twitter and whatnot, and I have not. I STILL do not like the way fb is set up, and I doubt that I ever will. But, almost no one uses their myspaces anymore, I mostly log on there and play a few games, read a few blogs, then log back off cause no one is ever on!
ReplyDeleteOf course, with so much time having gone by, people's lives get busier and busier, and so there is less and less time for the frivilous things. It happened to me once, last year. That time has come and gone for me, as I now find myself with boatloads of spare time on my hands once again with nothing to do with it but sit at the computer, but I find myself with fewer and fewer things to talk about these days. No blogs, no friends overseas to IM with--it is madness, just a different kind for me. Almost all of my friends have moved on with their lives, while I am at a standstill.
Maybe this fast approaching summer will bring new and exciting things. We'll see.
Again--hope you had a nice birthday. I never have parties on my birthday. No one would show up in dead of winter anyway, LOL!!

ReplyDeleteNo kidding-- I hate the new FB layout, as well. I miss the Big-Brother-like Live Feed. I play lots of games on there, too-- the "Save the Planet" app has plenty of fun games, and you can actually make donations to charities with the points you collect from playing the various games. Having fun AND being charitable at the same time, can't beat that ;-)
I don't really have parties anymore, either-- too much fuss. It's hassle enough organizing a kiddie party for Todd's upcoming birthday! If it weren't for my friends celebrating Cinco de Mayo and one of them having a birthday so close to mine, I wouldn't be doing anything special this year, either. Much simpler :-)

ReplyDeleteOh, and I also meant to add... I use a website called BirthdayAlarm.com to manage my birthday calendar. Get a handy email reminder about friends' birthdays and other important dates. I'd highly recommend it! :)
