So Seraph, does this mean you're already planning for the
attire of the wedding party when Sadie marries the penguin?
I thought penguins came in tuxedos.

Forgot to mention that I went in to see Scott on Monday, and
he put me back on antibiotics for a "low grade infection"...
And Sadie, are you still fussing about those penquins? You need to know that if you grow up and marry a penguin, you're outta the will. Love to all my chicks and penguins, om

After working late at the office Friday night, I headed to the law school on Saturday morning to serve as a judge at the student client counseling regionals - the students are supposed to be attorneys interviewing a client for the first
time. Things have changed since I went to law school; for one thing, architecture schools are starting to graduate women who obviously have done a little research on how much longer it takes women to pee than men, and are designing public buildings accordingly. In the afternoon, I ran long overdue errands, then went to Dez'Cub Scout banquet/potluck,
where I hope I fooled them with my faux home fried chicken.
The Scouts make baked goods, which are auctioned off as a fund raiser. I bought a $35 carrot cake , and Yayoe and I looked on with amazement and disgust as your father bid on, bought, and inhaled a huge plate of peanut butter cookies in some sort of new land speed record.
I had fun with Isa on Sunday; her favorite activity is going through the car wash, the Tunnel of Doom. She and I picked up Jordan and went to Burger King. I looked across the table at those two cute little faces and recounted my blessings. Jenny was painting her kitchen and living room,
which left me in awe - painting with two kids, and a spare,
as Isa and Dez wanted to play longer. An amazing woman!
Then home, where I had an architect stop by to talk with me
about adding an additional house on the property. He was pretty discouraging in terms of space per construction dollar, which was actually a helpful point of view. I unloaded the carrot cake on him; he has a teenage kid, who probably will shed the calories in a day, while they would linger on, eventually part of my lifestyle.



Friday night, and about ready to head home

February 12, 2005 by Sue in Wielesek

Friday night, and about ready to head home. It's clear and sunny, so it will probably be cold again tonight. My daffodils have started to bloom, sort of huddled together
muttering under their breaths about the unexpected chilly
nights. I'm hoping to take Sam and Josh to the reopened Museum of Natural History on campus this weekend. I chatted briefly with Sadie about selling her Miss Bunny the Honda Car and getting a pickup with factory air and comfortable back seats. But how could I ever bring myself to buy an automatic transmission? Good weekend, all. Love, om



A fun dinner with Adam and Jamie

February 05, 2005 by Sue in Wielesek

A fun dinner with Adam and Jamie. Sam and I are finishing up our space saga, with dialog which consists mostly of "Pow, pow!" and "Watch out for the Beastmaster!" and starting a spy drama, broadening our acting range.
End of the week, and a good weekend coming up. Dez' birthday party, and Isa for a sleepover. Oh, and I nearly forgot - Superbowl Sunday afternoon at a girlfriend's house.
I do have some big news; I'm going on a Rick Steves trip to
Eastern Europe at the end of September. John Cass is going, so I will have company. He wants to spend some time in London at the end of the trip, where I hope we can visit the cousins. A great incentive to lose ten pounds! Good weekend to all, and many snowy hugs to Sadie. Love, mom

I think Seraph failed to tell us her grades last term. Why, I'm not sure; they were even better than first term's 3 A s and 2 A minuses. Seraph, a rousing chorus of "We're proud of you" from Mr. Rogers, the fam, and me.
