Although today is Easter and I am sitting at home by myself I'm happy with the way the last few days have turned out. John and I went out to dinner on Friday and the whole evening was rather uneventful. But as is the case lately, some good conversations occurred. But FYI if you 1) Do not want me to be with John or 2) Think John is terrified of children and should therefore be congratulated every time he is in their presence, you should probably not talk to us. Really, it's quite annoying that people are constantly shocked when John even looks at a baby. John is great with kids. He simply was not sure he wanted one of his own. So him holding a baby is not some miracle that needs to be praised. Getting on both of our nerves. As is the general commentary on our relationship. Good times!
Anyway, Sat we took Joey for a walk (dog sitting while Gabe was away for the holiday) then went to have pizza...and mimosas/bloody marys. Mainly to kill time before the Capitals game! I haven't been to a pro-hockey game before, unless I went to a Blues game when I was a baby. Doesn't count if I did since I can't remember. Well I won tickets from work and got to spend the afternoon in the KCO box. The game was pretty awesome. We missed the first few minutes (and the first goal) due to a delayed metro, but still got to see 2 awesome goals and a long list of really great saves by our goalie. In the end the Rangers scored 1 goal that made it 3-1 but it was kind of a throw-away from our goalie. I was ready to become a hockey fan after that.
Today John had to leave to see his family, which sucked. But I ended up repotting some plants so they have more room now that they're getting bigger. Then I made granola and cinnamon raisin bread. So it was not a wasted day.
In other news: we're in the middle of planning a trip to Yosemite. June cannot come soon enough. But I feel like I need to work out a bit more to get in shape for some of these climbs.
Also, I'm trying to figure out if my boss will flip out if I ask for another day or 2 off for my birthday as John has asked me to go somewhere with him. I am thinking she will, but I will ask the super boss her feelings (she's more laid back) first. July is our busiest month so I feel a little guilty even asking, but ya know, it's my freakin birthday. I could still go on the trip for just the 3 day weekend, but that means flying home on my birthday which does not sound fun. Stuff to ponder.
In even more random news: John's grandfather is in the hospital. He's likely not going to live much longer. This has made me kind of depressed. Mainly because I know that John is being a tough guy "We all die sometime" but he's always been close to his grandfather and will be quite upset when he dies.
Yesterday was my grandparent's 51st wedding anniversary. I'll leave you to ponder what that meant for dinner conversations.
And that's enough random topics.
Oh, one more. ST. Louis, specially the area right by my mom's house, got hit by a tornado. All my fam is fine but the place does not look good based on pics. It makes me sad. And glad tornadoes are rare here. But I would like a good thunderstorm.
