Testing, testy, tired, and too busy

These last few weeks has been interesting at both work and in our lives. When I say interesting feel free to read into that in any way you would like...we've experienced all emotions and scenarios you can think of.

A recent summary:

At work: week 2 of state testing. I don't dare share my real feelings, but needless to say my tired little sixies tried their best--but no talking or movement from 8:15 to 11:15 (or longer if needbe) is hard for anyone especially if you are 11 or 12.

At home: Paul got our Yakima "High Roller" bike rack all assembled and put on the Super Scion. The name does relate to what is required to purchase such an accessory. But it was for Paul's birthday and some of the parts were generously donated from Mike and Teresa (Paul's Parents) from their old bike rack. We are looking forward to some of the best bike rides to come... it is part of our super plan. Some of our greatest memories together are riding bikes in Snohomish along the river trail and through town. The through town part is hard for me...but Paul pushes me to not be afraid of riding in traffic. He reminds me "this is Snohomish not downtown Everett."

Mom stayed with us for a few nights. We had fun. Let's see, we had a BBQ on Sunday and also had some NCIS marathoning.

Gibbs is mom's favorite. Paul loves DiNozzo, I'm a fan of all characters --especially the ladies--Katelyn, Ziva, but am partial to Abby maybe because of how she walks the line with her outlandish outfits and no-nonsense personality.

On Monday I had a meeting go late and so we decided to eat at Shake 'N Go instead of eating in. Mom, Paul, and I all got stuffed to the top and we decided that if we go again, we will be ordering kids meals.

Last night we played WII Super Mario. Paul had been trading games waiting to procure it for me, I'm not sure if he is pleased now though because I'm so "into" the game I think it freaks him out a bit.

Mom went back home to her Condo this morning when Paul and I went to work. We plan on holding her hostage again soon.

PS. I may have a new obsession with Lady Gaga, thanks to Paulie for downloading the album for me. It reminds me of good times with my dearest girlfriend--Downtown Jodi Brown! :)
