Friends - Ten Years later

Do you know where you were ten years ago today? I know what Lisa and I were doing. We were glued to our TV watching the series finale of Friends. RIP my sitcom love - we still miss you!

Kramp and Adler

For the past four weeks we've been taking Smiley to voice lessons at a local music studio. He loves it, the teacher seems to like him, and all is well. We'll see if we can afford to continue it once dance resumes in the fall.

THERE IS AN OWL BY MY WINDOW I CAN'T SEE IT BUT I HEAR IT EEEEE 😃 -Yaya

A Recap

1. The second show of the recital went much better, with Lauren proudly remembering her dance and GC/OJ taking the stage for the family dance. 

 2. My last shift at work was one of the most brutal, suffocating, titanicly boring 8 hours of my life. It is a misery that cannot, nay, MUST NOT, be repeated. All blame goes to Thomas G, who apparently thinks bettering the lives of his family is more important than sticking around to entertain me. What a selfish pr**k. 

3. #TeamSlap spent the afternoon at Lisa's Dad's house, emptying and cleaning a spare bedroom for the return of Lisa's stepmom from a care facility. Kudos to all of 'em for busting their butts for no reward but the satisfaction of helping someone else. Good job

How this recital went

The first show of the dance recital had some ups and downs. Lu forgot her dance shoes at home (situation resolved) but later also discovered she was missing one of her 3 costumes, which scratched the long awaited #TeamSlap family dance with her and YaYa. Junie also fumbled nearly her whole dance. Kudos to our Junie on her honesty though: Lisa gave her an out, blaming a music miscue, to which she responded "That wasn't it. I just forgot everything." They're en route to the second show, which should (knock on wood) go smoother 🙂

Just finished a three and a half hour Civil Procedure final. Wish I'd taken the day off from work, as it was draining.

Farewell Bob Hoskins
