Moments

  • I’m the 12th man

    and we nailed it today!!!! Super Bowl champions, babe!!!!   By the way, this picture was not taken by me, as I’m there, somewhere at the serif of number 2. SEAHAWKS!!!!! Read more

  • Internet and network are down at the building. Email still works, but with no network, there’s not much to do. On the way to cafeteria everyone seems happy and relaxed. We get several hi’s accompanied by big smiles. We sit down by the window, catching the sun that’s again shining bright outside, and we eat Read more

  • Met a friend to go for a walk and then have lunch together. The walk was on the short side for my own standards (I’m a walker), but longer than what my friend thought she could make:  1,5 miles, going around ours and some nearby buildings. By the end of it she was feeling great Read more

  • Wednesday the day was though, I barely had time to go potty. Had lunch at my desk working like crazy. But for 1 hour, from 12:00 to 1:00, I attended an event a team I’m part of was organizing. We realized employee satisfaction is not great and one of the points that scores low in Read more

  • Just before noon, I’m annoyed by a task I need to do at work. I decide to use lunch time to go for a walk and refresh my mind and mood. It’s cold. I see I’m not the only one who used lunch time to keep moving, although there are less people than when the Read more

  • Got late to work. Won’t be able to leave late. Rush to lunch, ask to go so can eat at the desk. While waiting, notice the sun shining bright outside after so many cloudy days. Take the to go box, sit on a table by the window, facing the sun, pull up sleeves to soak Read more

  • Happy Birthday to Me!!!

    39! I’m typically a pretty low profile person, who likes to talk to people, is very social, but who at the same time hates to be the center of the attention. That is during 364 days of the year. Because on my birthday I AM the center of attention. At least of MY attention. 😉 Read more

  • The title above can summarize my day so far, and it’s only 2:00 PM. My 2 daughters have a cough that’s been going on for a couple weeks now. So earlier this week we called the doctor and scheduled a visit for both of them to happen today afternoon. But last night the little one started Read more

  • Today I went ziplinig for the first time since I was 10. At 10, we went on a field trip to a military bootcamp sortof thingy and they allowed us to play on the obstacle course (just like the Survivor challenges) and finish it up with a zipline. I remember I loved it, but never Read more

  • My first MLS game ever

    Yeah, yeah… I know soccer is not the strongest sport here in the US, but it is on my country of origin, so, it’s in my blood to enjoy watching a match. So yesterday, with the excuse of my sister and my soccer-crazy brother-in-law visit, I took them and my dad for a home match Read more

  • Today the day started sort of stressfull. Hubby a bit grumpy for a little silly fight last night (and so was I); kids not really willing to leave home for school… you know… typical crazy morning of those days that start off bad. Then, I left home, drop off the kids in school, went for Read more

  • Snicky wine

    Today we went to our first party since our second baby was born. It was a 2-year-old party of the  daughter of some friends. And those friends are the kind of people who really appreciates a good glass of wine, so there’s always good wine on their parties. I’m not a heavy drinker and wine Read more

  • Toddler has estomatitis, which means it hurts to eat so, although feeling hungry, there is not much eating going on. We talked to 2 doctors and both said we should not worry too much about the not eating, and just make sure there are plenty of drinking to avoid dehydration. Breakfast table out of town. Read more

  • First glimpse of the baby

    Today we went for the first ultra sound exam. Mommy is over 35, so a US at 6-7 weeks is advised to see if there is a heart beat. And there is! Baby is 1 cm long, looks more like a tiny peanut, but it’s our baby. Toddler’s little sibling! So in regards to previous Read more

  • We are!!!

    Based on the pee-on-the-stick test performed yesterday morning. A second child is on the way! Read more

  • Sleepy but in peace

    Since yesterday I’m performing a task that’s totally and completely mind-numbing. I’m supposed to finish by EOD today, but not so sure if I’ll make it, since it’s taking longer than I though… Regardless, it’s the kind of taks that makes me feel sooo sleepy. But I’m fine. Sometimes it’s good to have a task Read more

  • Don’t know yet. But it’s possible. A couple more days before things are confirmed as late and test is performed… We were thinking about it. We wanted it to happen sometime soon (we? or was it mostly me?). We played a bit on the days when playing can have consequences, but wasn’t really counting on it. Read more

  • Silence…

    Toddler napping. Spouse running some errands. I guess I’ll be allowed a brief moment of silence. Hopefully a full hour? Oh boy. It does feel good! Read more
