Yesterday I had a client meeting in DeKalb, Illinois. That might not sound too exciting, but it was a nice break from my usual trek down US 31 that I make just about every week. Anyway, we had this great meeting where we presented true creative work, also a nice break from the usual stuff we work on. They loved the work, complemented our research, my partner and I had a great lunch, and we didn't even get caught in the usual home-from-Chicago traffic nightmare.
When I got back I headed over to my parents' house to pick up the girls and have some dinner.
And then my step-mom brought out their new miniature horse.
We all screamed so loud she could hear us from outside the house. This is the cutest, littlest horse you've ever seen. Knee-high, with feet the size of silver dollars.
Me, my sister and her husband, my niece, my Dad and my two daughters ran outside and spent a half hour oohing and aahing over the horse. I took a picture with my cell phone that, of course, I can't show you because I don't have a clue how to get pictures from my phone to my computer.
Anyway, after the girls had soaked themselves playing in the birdbath (gross, I know), we went inside and had dinner. Lauren ate four (4!!!!) plates of spaghetti and was so messy I had to strip her in the high chair and take her straight to the bathtub without getting slimed on my dress pants.
Finally, around 9:00 and way past bedtime I got everyone clean, dry and loaded into the car. And then I had the feeling you get when you've had a day where you've spent considerable time in two totally different environments. Kind of like you had two separate days, but really it was all one very weird day.
Weird. But good.
