So March didn't bring the warmer weather we were all hoping for...it's finally starting to warm up a little now but it sure took a while!! We celebrated my mother's birthday with cake and great company!! And tomorrow is my father's birthday. Yesterday was Pi(e) Day. I went to the communal house known as The Mudhouse. It was really great to see them all again. It was Pi(e) day so there was nothing but pie. Cherry, blueberry, lemon, apple, butterscotch, pumpkin, and pizza, oh yeah, and salad...and I brought a little chocolate pecan pie from Wanda's Pie in the Sky. Ok, so I think I counted 8, that's close enough to 9. When I was in Kensington Market I also went to Spiritwind for Yoga from the Heart and The Grind House for coffee. I took a detour up to the Annex to Piya's Boutique for incense, The Kandy Shoppe for wine gums, and, of course, David's Tea. My parents took Lily on a vacation to the Dominican for March Break. They will get back tonight and I can't wait to hear how it all went. So, Paul and I are all alone in the house on Saturday and what did we do? Laundry and groceries!! It was a little cold when we went outside but the sun shining in the bay windows is truly exquisite. And we are getting that beautiful low late afternoon light characteristic of longer days. Oh and we watched Crystal Fairy and the Magic Cactus on netflix. I enjoyed it, kind of a silly premise perhaps but really good characterization and dialogue. Paul fell asleep and while I was folding laundry a telephone surveyor called and I did the survey. That's how exciting I am these days. We've been looking for books on step-families...I still haven't found one that jumps out at me, not that we're having problems per se, it would just be nice to have some insight. I found some articles by searching 'step-parenting' on Yummy Mummy which I look forward to reading. Also 'Being Precious', 'Rocketbride,' and 'Life with Georgia' are all bloggers on Bunch that are in step-family situations, either they are stepparents or their partners are. I really enjoy Rocketbride's other blog too. Tomorrow we have a bowling lane reserved for 1pm!! And it's my father's birthday. And Purim!! Yay!! We shall celebrate indeed. Oh, so now I will walk of with Walk Off the Earth. This is what we've been listening to lately.
