Today was kind of a slow day for me, as in I moved so slow. I went to visit with grandpa and picked us up the usual, a frozen coke for me and chocolate shake for him, so that caffeine helped a little. Grandpa was in a kind of mood today that drives me crazy. …

Random Monday
Let’s start with some grandpa randomness. This evening when Bj and I went over to visit (had to bring him a chocolate milkshake, we’re trying to bulk him up), we got on the subject of email. He wanted to know how it worked and what it was. We were talking about it and I told …
Doctor, doctor.
I go to the doctor’s clinic about every other week, but just as a chauffeur to grandpa. I bring my knitting, wear a skirt (the last time I didn’t grandpa said I, "looked like a hobo."), and hang out. I did that today, and got to enjoy grandpa completely mixing and matching two separate outfits …
Then and Now
By the time I finish posting this it will be my birthday, and I will be 27 years old. To give you an example of how much I’ve changed here I am 20 years ago: Some where in between there I had to work on an "about me" project for my eighth grade English class. …
Helpful? Doubtful.
So… I’m upstairs cooking in the kitchen (with my vintage apron on – how 1950s housewife of me) and my dear husband decides to help me out. I hear the dryer going, and four hours ago before I went to the grocery store and the bank I told him he could switch the laundry, none …
Pretending to be grown-ups Vegas Style
I’m not going to lie. Sometimes it feels like Bj and I are only pretending to be grown ups and that someone is going to find us out soon. This weekend was definitely like that. We found out only a week ago that Bj and I would be going on a little trip for his …
You Should See the Other Guy
Awe poor grandpa, he took quit the fall on Sunday afternoon. Luckily Bj was there, though he is beating himself up over not being able to catch him in time. And grandpa was starting to feel so much better. Sciarrino said, "Man you and Bj just can’t catch a break" And sometimes I feel like …
Camp (In)
Last night I spear-headed a date night between Bj and I. After work I had Bj head over to visit with grandpa while Brent came over to help me with a little surprise. When Bj got home I had dinner all made and I said we were going to eat out back. I opened the …
Normal is not a word I know.
I know, I know. "Amber are you okay?" "Where are you?" "I’ve been checking your blog, and I’m concerned." I’m concerned about me too. Nothing seems to be going right. And that’s hard for an optimist like me to take. I want to be happy and giggly and think about silly things all day long. …
But then he had to go and be all funny like that.
Today was so long and not that exciting and I wasn’t feeling all that blessed about being the one who gets to take grandpa to his doctor’s appointments and make sure paperwork gets notarized and blah, blah, blah. I stayed up late, with out a real purpose mostly because Bj was back at work this …
