Sometimes too busy to be doing this blog about my life while...
1.) ...festivals are keeping me busy at OhioFestivals.net
2.)...we're getting ready to move into a new house in July...

3.) ...I'm packing up the house in Lorain, now that it's sold...
4.) ...we're prepping for the baby (which is a boy, by the way)...
(Whoo hoo!!!)
5.) ...and I'm even considering a new blog with a new name to ween off of this one.
(I wanted "mangiamangiamangia" but it was taken.)

Suggestions are appreciated!
So, anyways, this doesn't mean that life has stopped.
Oh no!
I've been doing plenty of other things in between of all of this. So that's why I'm writing this post...
...just to catch you up!
Here's what I've been doing during all the small pockets of free time...
...thanks to an Oberlin friend who brought it back from a trip out of state.
She showed me how a durian was prepared...
...which was something out of Alien...
...and I got to taste it as well.
Enjoy!
...and was happy to find - in this little shop...
...a very decadent series of treats!
3.) I learned stuff from the streets...
...and it couldn't be truer.

4.) I got to take my nephew to Swings n Things in Olmsted Falls...
...where he conquered the rookie cars...
...bumped through the bumper boats...
...meticulously attempted the Dinosaur Crane...
...and happily enjoy a nice dinner afterward at Li Wah's.
I even introduced him to some dragons.

7.) I visited the Marblehead Lighthouse...
...on a rather beautiful day...

...and walked up all those stairs.
It was worth it.
8.) I went to my niece's ballet recital...
...where she waved to us from the stage...

...and gracefully accepted flowers and posed for pics afterwards.
10.) I hung out with Catwoman...
...because she rocks.
11.) I found another reason...
...that I'm happy not to be Amish.
12.) And, finally, I found out...
...that I really liked Mizu's in Parma.
I think I'll be back there soon!
You've been busy, busy, busy! Congrats on all the awesome stuff! Good luck with the move! At least the other house has already sold!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the first bite of durian video! I just can't get past the smell - eee gads it's bad! Looks like you've been having lots of fun. Soooo happy the house is sold! And "heat and eat" pork is just wrong on SO many levels. Thanks again for fitting in guest blogging for me too!
