• Jim’s grandmother passed away on Monday. The service is in Wyoming so we aren’t able to make it.

• On a happier note: My good friend Carrington surprised me with a great pair of Keens last weekend.

• Having just sent an email to Subway complaining about their excessive use of the plastic bag, I realize I’ve been on an emailing rampage lately. Not sure if this is good or bad, but I do make sure to email companies when I like what they’re doing too. So I think it’s OK.

• I’ve tried just about everything with my dish detergent recipe to no avail and I’m starting to consider admitting defeat. This makes me quite sad.

• Honor and Eden have both gone through a growth spurt, so I’m going to spend the rest of my afternoon going through their clothes so I can see what they need. (Problem with these children is that they are so skinny that if the pants are long enough, they are huge on the waist – even with an adjustable waistband. And I think that everyone is getting tired of seeing Honor’s butt crack – just a guess.)
