TV Bonding

February 19, 2016 by Juls 2 Comments

I felt like YaYa today – wanting to ignore my alarm and sleep into the afternoon. This week has been long one. These 4-day work weeks are nice but packing 5 days of work into 4 is tiring. In addition, my daily practice has been intensified by an additional pose to master. This has made me sore in new places and a little fatigued.

YaYa has had the week off from school, thereby free in the evenings to watch TV. We have been watching movies and The Office TV series together an hour or two past my regular bedtime. That makes it a little harder to wake up in the morning.

Although I have missed a lot of the episodes, I have caught many of them. Both YaYa and BoBo have watched them ALL.

Last night, we watched the final episode and I commented on the irony of how the show has grown on my despite how much I loathed the show when Tom used to turn it on. He LOVED the show; I HATED it.

Now that I am working in a [different] corporate environment of quirky people, I kind of like it too. Of course, it helps to be spending time, kicking back, laughing with my son(s) – and, in a lot of ways, Tom too.

childhood friends; life long memories

IMG_0235[1] My best friend throughout elementary school and I drifted away from each other by the time we hit high school. Although I haven’t seen her in about 25 years, the memories of all the fun and crazy stuff we did together sticks with me.

Who was your childhood best friend?
Are you still in contact with them?
If not, what is one of the memories that sticks with you?

This palm tree leaf looks a lot like the paper fans I made as kid.

On a Mission

I’ve been on a mission of trying to post a wide array of photos for you all. The post for today was supposed to be one that I took looking down from the top of a table through the hole where the umbrella goes. Sadly, it just isn’t an interesting picture.

Instead, you get this photo of BoBo and his friend hiking to the top of Mission Peak about a year ago.

I’m not giving up on the quest for unique photos. My life just seems to be mostly yoga, hiking, family and work these days – and I don’t want to bore you with the same thing every day. I’ll stick with it. With any luck, I’ll be posting a Mission Complete post at the year’s end.

Until then….

Ugly traffic in Los Angeles delayed DD and BoBo’s return by about 2 hours. They rolled in about 30 minutes before BoBo was expected at work. He had just enough time to unload, change his clothes, and snap a quick family photo before heading out.

We used the new Selfie-Stick that Cindy gave me for my birthday. The kids rolled their eyes and gave me the “REALLY, Mom!!” commentary when they saw it. But, you have to admit, it worked rather nicely for getting all of us in the shot. Both of the boys have reposted this photo (first seen on my FB wall) with the hashtag FamilyFirst.
