I thought for sure I'd get another post in this week, but here it is a week since my last post. We've had a fun summer week, despite the heat. We went to the splash park again this past Tuesday - the hottest day so far at 98 degrees. Luckily it always seem to be windy there, so it wasn't too unbearable. Except that I had to keep chasing after LW as he either took food from strangers, or decided it was his turn to use their toys. Most of the parents are pretty nice, and said it wasn't a problem, they had plenty. But that's not exactly the point. And it's not like I didn't come prepared with food of our own. I guess it always looks and tastes better when it's somebody else's, even if it's just a cracker. We also had a play date over at a friend's house. They have one of those small blow up pools with a filter, so they spent a lot of time in there. Unfortunately I forgot the swim diapers. Ever seen a water-logged disposable diaper before? It's quite a sight, especially when a child is attempting to walk around in it! I also discovered this week that I like Swiss Chard - sauteed in olive oil, garlic and lemon. My next "new" food, courtesy of the CSA, will be Okra. I've gotten a few ideas on how to cook it from some friends. My only memories of eating Okra are from the Cajun stew my mom would make. We pronounced it "Ka-John", and it was really gumbo. Silly New Englanders!
So what's next on my list? Seeing as my next birthday will be a "big one", I'm setting some goals for myself. I'm not quite daring enough to put them out there for everyone to see. Hopefully that won't be my downfall, but if history proves correct, the "pressure" of other people knowing will actually make me LESS likely to accomplish them. I spend my time stressing over what others will think, as opposed to actually doing something. So for now, I'm keeping them to myself, and I'll see where I am in a year. And maybe then I'll be ready to share them with my readers.
