hit and miss

hit: my buddy s' birthday was last week. birthdays are fun! yay!
miss: we can't seem to get our schedules in sync so that we can get together for lunch, along with our friend a.

hit: the kid has minimum day today and i get to pick her up! woo-hoo!
miss: this is her dad's week, so we only get to spend a couple of hours together. boo.

hit: i managed to hit the gym yesterday (finally!) and dropped off the bean at the "kids' klub" - and she had a great time watching the other kids playing in there.
miss: i was starving afterwards and ended up at mcdonald's for a filet o'fish and a shamrock shake.

hit: nanette hooked me (and a bunch of others) up with a writer for glamour magazine, melissa walker, who regularly puts out a call for personal stories, opinions, polls, etc. to possibly use in future issues. and melissa's second novel, violet by design, is being released today. whee!
miss: i haven't read her first book yet, so i can't review it - but i sure can plug it for my readers (all 8 of you).

hit: i didn't have to make dinner last night. this also meant no dishes to wash. yessssssss.
miss: instead, we gorged on ginormous burritos from chipotle :X so much for working out.

hit: my mom's back from her london trip, and i invited her to come up for a sleepover to hang out with me and the bean while the hub's off on a business trip.
miss: she and the stepdad are taking off that very day for chicago with friends. d-oh.

hit: the bean took a nice long nap yesterday (which actually gave me time for the marathon recap) and was in a great mood all day long.
miss: she woke up a full hour early again today. oy vey.

hit: it looks like it's going to be a lovely day today! maybe we'll actually go out and spend some time in it.
miss: well, none. there's nothing wrong with that! yippee!
