A couple of things happened this past Sunday and today!

Today BGM (Big Girl Matrix, if you've forgotten) and the MITM went to the Huntington Gardens in Pasadena and had a grand old time! There are pictures, but I'm sharing only this one today.

BUT, on Sunday the little person in the photo celebrated her 9th BIRTHDAY! There are some pics from the party we celebrated on Saturday, but I haven't uploaded them yet. But, in lieu of that, here's an interesting fact I learned - you can rent puppies for your party! Yep, the theme was "A Puppy Party" and the cutest little puppies were here for everyone to play with for an hour! Who knew, right?

Anyway, I'm 2 days late publishing a 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BGM  

post, so help me out and leave some belated best wishes for BGM!

School starts next week for her and BBC (Big Boy Chaos), so like everyone in schools around the nation, they'll be masked and ready to start in-person learning...we hope!

August 2, 2021 or WTF happened to July?

 Jeez Louise, but I'm starting to think that this languishing is becoming my normal state of being! I keep reading all the articles about moving forward but try as I might, nada as in no go, no show, no nothing! Anyone else still trying to move forward? 

Total aside, but I just found out that the shift key on the right side of my MAC doesn't work and Apple KNOWS it's a defect/problem! They will replace the key, but it will take 3 weeks. It's as if my inconvenience is my problem, not theirs even though this recalcitrant key is their fault! (that exclamation point was done twice-think about how you type and you'll understand my situation!)

I'm going to bed. 

G'night, Gracie
