Crazy month

Work has been so absolutely crazy this month I haven't even had time to really properly move in.  Every weekend I spend about two hours doing ONE project that's move related and then I do nothing for the next seven days due to lack of time.  So it feels like progress on the house is EXTREMELY slow, because it is!

After Easter we had my mom come visit and fortunately she's still with us.  My sister and her husband and son also came to visit but I didn't spend nearly as much time as I would've wanted with them mainly because of how crazy things have been at work.  Initially I wanted to fly to Cuzco with them but I ended up just spending a weekend with them and then I sort of took off their last day here so I could also spend some more time with them.  Sort of because while we were "hanging out" at the beach I was sitting there laptop in hand clicking away.  But hey at least I got that day with them.  Not to mention all the FOOD we ate!  Which of course I wish I had the time to work it all off but getting exercise in has been a futile attempt lately.  Work has taken up 100% of my time and the other 20% is spent between kids and the house.  Oh wait, that's actually 0% not 20%! Yep, that's exactly how I feel. Right now my biggest concern is whether I can keep this up for much longer, which it doesn't feel like I can! But I'm doing the best I can, taking it basically one day at a time.  We'll see how things are the next time I find a few minutes to write!  Hopefully next time I can post pictures of the new place.  Right now there are still paintings all over the floors so I feel like it's not picture worthy just yet.

Having a passport on hand means you are free to leave immediately in an emergency
situation. South America is one of the most unique, interesting, and exotic locations on Earth, and is full of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
Either way, you will be asked to provide your personal information for the passport application.

Gigi's Baby Shower

Image
Even though I had barely done any planning with the exception of sending out the Evite , I did manage to pull off a very nice baby shower for Gigi. We did it at Essencha Tea House on Madison because we were too many to do it at the Bonbonerie . I got some decorations at Factory Card Outlet and recycled some other ones from Ida's baby shower last September. We had a great showing and the food at Essencha Tea House was really great. I had to bring Gabi with me because Jose had a soccer game but she did OK, even though she was a little tired because she skipped her afternoon nap. In any case, if anyone has a baby or wedding shower to plan, or just wants to go to eat at a nice place, I highly recommend Essencha Tea House . Oh, and the best part is that they serve breakfast all day, which as any friend of mine can bear witness to, is a HUGE plus for me. Speaking of which, after we got home and Gabi finally napped, we went to Boston Market followed by Graeter's . And tha...

Geneva UNICEF Half-Marathon

Image
I finally did it! Best thing about the half-marathon yesterday? First, that it's over. Second, that I can rest for a couple of weeks before getting back into running. The weather was terrible on Saturday so we had no idea what would happen on Sunday for the race.  But we got really lucky because we got PERFECT weather -- not too warm, not too cold. And the rain held off until the moment I literally crossed the finish line.  There were actually moments when the sun was shining bright where it was actually a bit too hot. I had my iPhone GPS to help me keep pace (since all the markers were in KM and I still get confused about that) and I was doing really well.  I think I was on pace to finish between 2:03 and 2:05.  At mile 9 I saw Jose and the kids and that was so exciting I had to hold the tears in (cause otherwise I get kind of an asthma attack while running if I'm too excited).  Then right after I saw them my iPhone died.  There went my music, and th...

Running

My friend Tom turned me to TED for the first time a few year ago.  Then another friend said on Twitter that the TED iPad app was awesome.  Since I have little TV to watch here in Geneva TED has become my 20 minutes a day before going to sleep where I try to see an interesting video to make me think about something else other than work and the kids (then I try 20 min. of meditation right before going to sleep).  So last Friday night I saw this TED video on running and was very intrigued by the Tarahumara story .  I didn't know whether to believe the whole TED speech by Christopher McDugall or not but my friend German had been trying to convince me for a while to try barefoot running which I was honestly too scared to try (I've always had either knee or ankle problems and have felt that I need all the protection I can get in the form of really bulky but stable shoes). But last night after I saw ANOTHER amazing speech from TED on running , I decided to download the book...
