Accomplishment.

I thought I would do a quick update in between all the productive stuff I've been doing around here.

(Actually, Bill just walked in. He wasn't supposed to be home between work and church meetings tonight, but he forgot his big ginormous man-bag full of church stuff that is required at all church meetings. I'm sure he's wondering what the heck I've been up to today, as the house is in the exact same order as when he departed this morning around 7:30. Um... I worked out with a friend -- I'm trying to trim down, you know --, spent a little time working on a video for the upcoming grad Open House, showered, talked on the phone with my mom, lunched with another friend -- I apparently have many friends today -- then came home to be productive, and was, somewhat, before Pinterest drew me in as I browsed for tips and tricks on my next unusually grand idea, which I cannot share because it will someday be a big surprise for somebody -- who actually would NOT be reading this because those somebodies aren't technically "here," but let's just say it's a big project for a grandma. So big and unusually grand that I don't want to jinx it by sharing, and have pinned all the good tips and tricks to my secret board. It will be at least a year in the making, but will hopefully be an unusually grand Grandma Syddall tradition. I have a lot on my mind, so productivity is somewhat limited. So, Bill -- who really NEVER asks me what I've done all day because the house is untidy -- my brain's been working overtime. I deserve time-and-a-half. Wink.)

Back to what I was going to quickly post.
(I sent Bill on his way with a water bottle and a packet of Ritz crackers. Remember - he wasn't supposed to be home tonight = no planned and well-timed dinner.)

The final presentation of Guys and Dolls came and went.
I arrived two hours early in hopes of acquiring a front row seat for Bill, Shi and myself, but instead ended up on the second row behind a row of large women. Bummer. After reserving our seats, I helped with slick-backs, curls, and updos. It's the least I could do since I WAS already there.

Here are a few shots from our almost great seats:

This past Sunday Shi received this:

Great accomplishments, girlies!
So proud of you.

I'd better go accomplish something.
