Sunshine and rain.

Today it's raining and windy. And raw and damp. And the exact opposite kind of day than last Saturday. But, good things have happened today, too, so it's not all a wash-out. We went to the gym. We found a corned beef ROUND at the grocery store (the best cut of corned beef you can get... way better than a brisket, trust me), and made plans to go to a classical concert and dinner with MVD and her man. Doug also showed me our first flowering plant after the long and cruel winter months (though it's not even technically spring yet!). I love crocuses and daffodils, the first flowers to bloom in the spring. They are such harbingers of good cheer. Babies are also harbingers of good cheer, and we welcomed another one to the family. My cousin Amy had her baby quite quickly and unexpectedly yesterday morning around 8:30am, so today we can celebrate little Baby Boy P being one day old. When I talked with Amy yesterday she said they're still thinking on the name, but did give me his stats: 6 pounds 1 ounce, 19 inches long. Amy and Mike sounded like tired, amazed, and happy parents, and congratulations to them! Today it might start to sink in that they're officially parents, and that they are starting a lifetime of adventures with their son.

And now, after a week of waiting, onto my picture a day post. Here's the week in review:
