santa again

we saw santa again. i didn't take any pics but i bought one. And I don't own a scanner so i can't post it. this time we went with Dot. I love how she talked to him. She very confidently, almost pacing said something to the effect of, "Well, Santa, I know the boys were here a few days ago. They told you about the scooters? Remember? Yes, well, I wasn't with them, so I didn't have a chance to tell you what I wanted. They also forgot to tell you what color. So that's why we are here again." He made sure that he remembered everything. I love Santa. I want to go again before the lines get too crazy. This time with just Dot. Love that girl. She adored the Macy's windows too. I could have walked around and do that with a five year old all day long.
I ran 2 miles today. I'm slowly trying to get into the swing of things out here. It's been such a surprising adjustment! We've lived here for two months. And I still feel out of whack. Even a little blue at times. But I think as soon as I get my footing, I'm going to love this place. Tomorrow's goal: get a library card. I need a book. And so do my kids. I miss reading them new books.  I get so bored of the ones we own. Hopefully tomorrow we also get a dresser and bookshelf off of craigslist. I'm been throwing all my clothes in bins and a sloppy pile in my closet. Which is sort of my style anyway, but it would be nice to have a dresser for those rare occasions i put my clothes away.
