Five Good Things.

1. This photo of the watering hole in El Portal, from WFR training.

2. It’s Friday, and sunny, and warm.

3. Basketball finals tomorrow. My babies are so excited, I could cry. They’ve beat a team they never had, and we’ve beat both of the other teams….victory?

4. Taxes will be done after this weekend, and while I am not looking forward to the doing, and I am looking forward to the done.

5. Work is finally, finally, finally calming down. And an adventure next weekend with Lauren. And a cruise in 2.

Happy Friday, Happy Spring, chickas. Love you all.

A unexpected discovery!

On Thursday, as I mentioned, I went to the foot doctor to get checked out and see what was up with my feet. My doc suggested Dansko clogs, and so Friday I decided to order some. Liz and I were talking about sizing them, and how I needed wide ones, and so I went online to find out how to size my feet properly. We were measuring and came to an interesting discovery — that I am, or may be, in fact an 8.5 W, not a 10! Which is just excellent.

Liz and I have the same length feet (we were considered after we measured that the online chart was wrong) but mine are about 4 inches. Which, apparently, is giant.

These are my giantly wide feet. (See above.)

This is how we sized my feet.

Also this.

Also this.

The Dansko’s come today. I’ll let you know how that goes. Do you think that my feet are actually that small? It’d be a miracle!!

The Jack Hammer.

So the school I work at is doing major renovations. Fine, fine, and all. HOWEVER: They are jack hammering outside my window, and I have cement dust in my lungs. I kid you not. I can’t even hear my Pandora, which is cranked up and playing “That Thing You Do.”

I am annoyed. What annoys you all on Fridays? More to come later:

1. Pictures of my cake from my b-day

2. The books I got for free from the library today.

Happy Friday! (Now Pandora is playing Hanson. All is right in the world.)
