Katie's preschool teacher is so creative! The kids painted apple trees, and they used paint on their hand and forearm to make the trunks!

The County Fair
We've taken Katie to the fair every year, but this is the first year she rode a ride. And my little daredevil skipped the kiddie rides, with their cute spinning strawberries and their tame dragon coaster. Katie ran straight to the Ferris Wheel.
And she loved it!
And she loved it!

Art in the Park
Katie and I headed over to Art in the Park yesterday. My friend Kelly is displaying her amazing art there. Kelly's mother-in-law was displaying her fiber arts in the booth next door. The newspaper was hanging around, waiting to take pictures of a little girl playing with Kathy's toys. Katie happily obliged!
Katie Whitney, 3, of Richland, plays with a cloth tea set by Kathy Wetherell of Kennewick who was inspired to create the washable toys for her granddaughter Emily, now 9, who suffers from severe allergies.

Meh.
Crazy as heck here. But I figured I could at least update the picture of K in 8 inches of snow to one that is slightly more current. Maybe I'll post again, if something interesting happens.

A glutton for punishment
Self-imposed deadlines. I love them. I also apparently love stress, drama, and masochism. I am crazy about setting a goal or a task, and arbitrarily setting a deadline to accomplish said goal or task. If I meet my deadline, I'm happy as a clam. Not meeting the deadlines, however, severely stress me out because I convince myself that failing to meet the deadline with cause nothing short of the End. Of. The. World. And. All. Humanity.
It's good to have a deadline, but I also have to work really hard to remind myself that the world will keep turning and no one's going to die if I take more time than I thought I needed. Especially if the barriers to my timely success are out of my control. (Home Depot, I'm looking at you.)
I know that there is a plan for my life. Since I'm not in any hurry to meet the final deadline (If you know what I mean. And I think you do.) I need to allow the plan to unfurl. Even when it's not to my immediate satisfaction, everything will always happen for a reason, and it will all work out in the end.
Blah blah blah. Shut up, and show some pictures of Kate, or maybe a video of her singing an inappropriate song. Well, the joke's on you--I can't find my camera. I think the plan has hidden it from me.

10 things I'm loving right now...
1. Knitting a delicious baby blanket for a wonderful friend.
2. Making progress on a big task.
3. Gone with the Wind and Olivia de Havilland.

5. The conversations Katie and her new BFF (who lives two houses away) have yelling at each other from their front yards.
6. 7 more weeks.
7. My daughter's hilarious sense of humor.
8. A successful week of difficult labs--with students who said they loved it and learned a lot.
9. Learning to do new stuff, even though I may hate it at the time.
10. Plans for a productive and purposeful summer!
