Ours is HS band concert tonight, Night of Jazz Tuesday night, then I have 10+ parent teacher conferences to attend on Thursday. I really need to write them down--multiple teachers in 4 different building.

Our HS Jazz One just found out last night they made it into Jazz Championships. 15 bands from each class, they got a wild card bid in 3A since they didn't automatically qualify

You gain some kids, birdy? No wonder you have been quiet around here. Gotta be wore out with that many kids running around.


Will brag here, I have no meetings this week, nothing to attend!!!!


Probably just jinxed myself.

No, just multiple teachers in middle and high school. And I didn't even schedule every teacher.

That was a bust so I ended up stopping at a fancy cupcake place I've always wanted to try and got a cupcake. I only took one bite because I'm keeping it for tomorrow but I think this was a solid purchase.

That's way better self-control than me at a fancy cupcake place. I do pretty well if I can make it to the car without eating it.

Were "given" some older pictures yesterday. There was a picture of me about 4 months after I decided to grow out my bangs.

Oh, the awkward hair.

Went to a couple of bars in Anoka, MN on Friday. 80's hair is alive and well in downtown Anoka.

Quiet here. My day started by finding and opening a huge box of Thomas the Train engines and tracks that I git for my 2-year old, but forgot to give it to him for Christmas. First thing he did all morning and did not want take a break from playing to eat breakfast until about 11am.

Wife stopped working Saturdays, so that helps with Saturday plans. She went to the gym at 10am and then took my oldest to swim lessons at 12:45. Youngest still playing trains.

Wife and son came back from swim lessons with lunch and we ate. I did dishes from earlier in the morning, Youngest had to be pulled away from his trains to take his nap and I decided it was a good time for a nap for me as well. Woke up, youngest already up and playing trains again.

Got my bag, paddles cleaned up, etc and headed over to the Table Tennis club (my oldest was supposed to go with me, but he changed his mind when he found out wife and youngest were going to the mall). I played for 3 hours (got my ass handed to me) and came back home. Wife and kids came back and I decided to watch the boxing fight since it was late and they were soon going to bed.

To my surprise, I finished watching the fight around 10:45pm and I heard some noise downstairs. You guessed it. Someone snuck out of his room and came out to play trains again. His bedtime is 9:00pm, so my wife took him to the room with her this time to make sure he actually sleeps.

At this point, I'm 200% certain that when I wake up, he will be up already playing with his trains.

For some reason that made me think of the two blond bimbos in Fargo.

"Where'd you guys go to school?"

"Chaska. But I grew up in White Bear Lake. Go Bears."

Ha! My brother works for Bimbo (pronounced beem-boh). His company, Catherine Clark's Brownberry Ovens, was bought by Bimbo some years ago. (Also Sara Lee, Thomas English muffins, Entenmann's breakfast pastry, and many others.)

Had to Google after reading that and I see that we have three Bimbo Bakeries in the Twin Cities.

by the time I got done talking to Dh and then my mom last night, it was too late for cupcakes. So hopefully it's not dried out today, I kept it in the box. I was super tempted to get two because they had cheesecake ones as well. But it felt gluttonous to get two.

So I ordered clothes from a store on that side that I'll likely need to return. Of course, I'll do that in person.

School letting out early. ???????????

Getting out at 1:30 is what we used to tell the freshman.

It's actually getting out early. Not sure why. It's raining so I'm guessing they are thinking ice.

So I don't have to cave venture. Who is Elsa?

Character in Frozen. Long story short there is a rumor that Disney had written her in as being lesbian. And off we go

 

[BCClone]

Never saw frozen, that explains why I didn't know her.
