Finished STS Week 3!
My legs are fried and my arms are jello but I did it. One more week and I'll be done with Mesocycle 1. I'm debating whether or not I should take my "active recovery week" after that since I already took a week off due to being sick. I guess I'll see how I feel after next week.
Emily's birthday dinner last night was fun. We got a bunch of veggie sushi and a bunch of fish sushi there was plenty for everyone to eat what they wanted. My asparagus sushi was pretty popular with the kids. Asparagus + avocado = best sushi ever! We also got some veggie gyozas (little fried dumplings with sauce) and some veggie spring rolls. It was quite the feast. After dinner they brought out a desert for the birthday girl. It was this amazing chocolate cake, strawberries, blueberries and ice cream. Wow! Emily loved her presents. We got her a really nice mummy bag for camp (and future camping/backpacking trips we may go on), a sleeping pad and pillow to go with the sleeping bag, a Swiss army knife, a basketball and the book "What the Dickens" by Gregory Maguire (it's about a rogue tooth fairy). After dinner the kids went outside and played basketball using two garbage cans for baskets.
Tomorrow we're completing the garage-junk-purging-process by having a yard sale. Big time fun, I know. Hopefully we'll have gotten rid of everything before 10:00. We took all the cheesy stuff like old clothes and books to salvation army already so the only stuff we have to sell is the stuff that's actually good. Hopefully we'll make enough money from the yard sale to buy a new charcoal grill. We've decided that me and Sean aren't smart or handy enough to operate a gas grill (which is one of the things we're selling).

It truly sounds like you had a great time. I will say, I'm jealous about the sushi feast. Avocado and asparagus are absolutely two of my favorite foods. But together in sushi?! I'm drooling. You know, Kristy, I have to say, it sounds like you have a really good life, and you know what? You deserve it! Good luck with the yard sale. I think I'll have one next Saturday.
p.s. I've retired my other blog about the sandwich making stuff. You'll read my blog eventually, but it boils down to me being fired. Yep, fired from the deli. Why? My blog. Not the sandwich making blog, but sean's blog about. It's explained in my other blog. I took down the sandwich making one because it was too narrow a subject; I want to focus more on customer service as a whole, so I'm working some things out in my head before I start. Fired for blogging. Can you believe that? I wish I could say I'm bitter, but I'm not.
