Tatiana's Wanderings

After DOUBLE COFFEE TIME, I went out at 4:05 on a 407 to help with the kids. Thanks to user-caused delays and a wheelchair going in AND going out before my stop on the 3 Downtown (creating more delays), I was about ten minutes later than I thought I'd be, arriving at about 5. Jon thought it was a traffic delay, but nope. I hung out with Beckett, whose first recognizable word is HURTS! (he was imitating Harmony the other day) He climbed up on me, which IS cute when he's that size! I scooped him up away from the balcony window a few times, but I didn't mind that. Ayler attempted to read a Dr. Seuss book, Hiero threw things around like HE was the baby, and I watched Beckett's new favorite activity: flipping pages of a board book! (he also can climb up on the couch, so Ayler and I were around for support)

Hiero tried taking my hat off, but that was a NO and led to a talk. Ayler wanted to play SIMON SAYS at dinner, and also asked me if I'd taken a shower before coming here. I lied and said yes. We had blueberries, cherries, fried rice, and Tillamook cheese for dinner - I refused the figs because they'd be messy. I was still slightly full from yesterday's carb fest (pasta AND Chinese food?!), but figured dinner tonight would be fine for a meal. Beckett can still fit under the couch, but I definitely didn't want to startle him! Ayler and Hiero wanted to listen to Liszt and Chopin, and then do some puzzles in their room. Sure, I could come next week if needed. Hiero asked me, "Does poo grow?" I guess it does...

When I left at 7:30 or so, I heard Beckett practicing his new word to himself. It was funny to hear "HURTS! HURTS!" Hahaha! I got home at 8:35 on a 407, then promptly threw out all the random (probably) non-working ballpoint pens in a plastic bag from Mom. "She pays for pens, Harma?!" Yes...


Lego Kwik-E-Mart and THE SIMPSONS!

From Not Always Working: Freydis Egilsdottir?! I can see Freya, but not Freydis. Krista also apparently knows this person... Also, DRAGON! :D

I went out at 1 on a C94 to go to the Brighouse Library mini book sale, which I'd heard about yesterday on Facebook Events, eventually buying Age of Iron (Angus Watson), The City Stained Red (Sam Sykes, who also happens to be Diana Gabaldon's son!), The Dinosaur Lords (Victor Milan), The Awakened Mage (Karen Miller), and The Boleyn Inheritance (Philippa Gregory) - not bad for $2.75! Then I went to KFC at Richmond Centre for two chicken wings because of CHICKEN WING DAY, which proved to be more expensive overall at $5.55 than six pieces for $9. The last stop was Shoppers Drug Mart, where I took advantage of the sale on Ben and Jerry's ice cream: Chocolate Fudge Brownie / NEW Peanut Butter Half-Baked! I got home at 2:10 on a 401 since I didn't want to risk the ice cream melting in the heat, as I'd just missed the 407.
