Shokufeh is... home

Trying to catch up

MrMan is sick. Nothing major, it seems, just a bit peaked and feverish. He seemed really mellow when I picked him up from daycare, but I chalked it up to needing sleep. It seems it was a little more than that. I'm hoping that he's feeling a little more energetic in the morning, and will be *fingers crossed* fever free. I'm not sure what the rules of his daycare are, but I'm assuming he can't be there with fever.

Last night, I saw Roya! For the first time in 2.5 years. I almost said 4.5 years, thinking we haven't seen each other since I got married, until I remembered that when Sam and I were going to Orlando a few years ago, we flew threw Atlanta. In our couple of hours in the airport, Roya and I got to catch up, and tape an entry to "The Amazing Race." We never submitted it, but it was fun to make. I love that whenever we see each other, it's like very little time has passed. Maybe it helps that neither of us seems to age much ;)

I didn't get the job. It would have been nice, but I'm sure there's something out there that's more suited to me.

MrMan had his first really good day at daycare last week. I think it helped that he went three days in a row: Wednesday was the really good day. But today went pretty well, too. Maybe, one day, he won't cry when I drop him off.

On Saturday, we went to a school fair. At the school that Maddox Jolie-Pitt attends. We didn't run into him or Brangelina, but we did have a nice time. And MrMan ate the cutest tiny cone of gelato, all by himself.

Speaking of Brangelina, it took me months, but I finally figured out some signs I've been seeing around town. They're yellow and have an arrow in the middle and the letters "CCBB" on them, once right side up, once upside down. I've pondered them for a while, wondered if they were part of some scavenger hunt... medical thing... political rally.... "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button!" With so many filming locations around town, I guess they need to let cast and crew know where to go. The format of the sign allows the arrow to point either way. I'm pretty stoked to see the movie, as I'm sure I'll recognize many spots, including a site down the street. And we spent time with one of the actresses when she was visiting a few months ago.

Oh my gosh! When I went to IMDB to look up Lois Hall, I saw that she died eleven days after we met her, a couple of days after she was supposed to go back home to L.A. So strange. We took her with us to a Baha'i meeting, and she also had a connection to Hawaii, so we had friends in common. I'm so surprised by this discovery that I can't remember anything else I planned to put on this list.
