Pretty much the exact opposite day from my ultra productive day on Tuesday. I did post, a lazy recap of our <a href="http://supervisingfromthecouch.blogspot.com/2015/12/oh-ye-that-embark.html" target="_blank">first cruise day</a>. Right now I'm going for the quantity habit, not the quality habit. :)<br />
Still, hoping for a more exciting entry (and day!) tomorrow.Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11371564081167103606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422569741317391683.post-44219925686865547852016-01-06T21:47:00.000-07:002016-01-06T21:47:33.483-07:00Book recommendation<br />

I love that this book talks strategy for that, but only after an examination of personality differences that impact the way people make these changes.<br />
<br />
I'm not writing a full review yet, because I'm still only about halfway through, but I can already tell this will be one of those books that I evangelize. :)<br />

Posting about it is conveniently allowing me to keep at least one habit going for yet another day...Michellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11371564081167103606noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422569741317391683.post-67976900368295798472016-01-05T21:54:00.001-07:002016-01-05T21:55:03.874-07:00Productivity Rock StarHa! This is so completely opposite of how I normally feel at the end of the day that I just had to blog about it. Generally I am very busy, but it's rare that I can actually pinpoint what I've accomplished at the end of a long tiring day. Today I didn't have anyplace I had to be and I hunkered down in my fleece sweats and got. things. done. Rob suggested that maybe I should wear sweats everyday...and mentioned that he needed a couple of things at Walmart as long as I was dressed for it. :)<br />
<br />
Anyway, here's my list:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>5:30 a.m. weight lifting with Robbie</li>
<li>Made my bed</li>
<li>Listened to a productivity webinar</li>
<li>Figured out how to download transactions from credit card to budgeting software (HUGE, yes, welcome to this century :)</li>
<li>Assigned categories to nine months of transactions</li>
<li>Finally applied for marketplace health insurance (I have been totally dreading this! It wasn't nearly as painful as I expected it would be!)</li>
<li>Picked up bread at Great Harvest (It's definitely not Walmart, I was conspicuous in my sweats, but I did at least change out of my slippers before going...I do have some standards. :)</li>
<li>Created a four-page agenda for YW presidency meeting + 2016 calendar (felt like a flight controller, figuring out so many schedules and details)</li>
<li>Signed the girls up for a sports camp</li>
<li>Confirmed reservations for Provo Temple open house</li>
<li>Deleted dozens of emails</li>
<li>Registered and synced the <a href="https://www.thetileapp.com/" target="_blank">tile</a> I got for Christmas</li>
<li>All this, plus showering (I might wear sweats occasionally, but I draw the line at personal hygiene), driving kids, doing two loads of dishes, four loads of laundry, fixing three meals and being somewhat attentive to Joey while he spent the day throwing up and/or sleeping...</li>
</ul>
<div>
Not to mention blogging for the fifth day in a row! Gold star day.</div>

A rude awakening to reality, starting at 5:40 a.m. for the boys, and not much later for the rest of us. The kids were all thrilled to go back to school (where is the sarcasm font when you need it?), and Rob had a busy day working. I spent four hours madly cleaning, then hosted my Monday lunch group, which used to be called "Game On" for this healthy tracking game we started, but got re-named "Better Than Before" today, in honor of the Gretchen Rubin book I've been reading. I obviously haven't really gotten back into the daily photography/blogging habit, or there would be a photo of us (Shaaron, Char, Candy, Deyanne, Christianne, Helen, Katrina, Naomi and I) enjoying our always awesome potluck salad, brainstorming the future of our group and doing a fun "favorite things" while elephant exchange (I gave a copy of <i>Better Than Before </i>and got a recipe for lentil soup with all the ingredients to make it). Then more cleaning and busy work in the afternoon, school pick up, homework routine, the usual...</div>

Until about 4:20, when we headed to St. Vincent's. I took a few photos before it started getting busy. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Every month, usually, my family goes to a food kitchen for
the homeless called St. Vincent’s. The night before we spend a few hours making
sandwiches to serve to them as well as soup, desert, several appetizers, and a
cup of milk, juice, or water. We each pick something to serve (out of the thing
they are serving, which varies constantly), and put it on the tray, which we
pass down a rack, to the person who hands it to the homeless people. To get
their meal, the homeless people line up outside and the person at the door
gives them a ticket. They then get inside and put their ticket in a jar, and
the person at the end of the rack gives them a tray full of food. Once we gave
a man a whole pie! Not only is it service, but it’s really fun to do!</div>

Tonight was especially exciting, when Rob was threatened by a tough looking guy after he told him that blankets weren't allowed inside. Luckily no follow through on that. It sure makes me appreciate coming home to a good meal and warm home.<br />

A few years ago one of my friends mentioned that she and her family were wanting to serve once a month at St. Vincent's Dining Hall for the homeless, and wondered if we'd like to join them. It's been one of the best things we've done. We go the first Monday of every month with a few of our favorite families, and it is such a great opportunity to serve and to get some perspective on how blessed we are. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Each month we make and take 600 sandwiches with us, to supplement the dinner that St. Vincent's provides. At first we gathered Monday afternoons before heading down to serve, but we've switched to doing it the evening before, and it is great. We've got it down to a system: each family takes a turn buying the supplies at Costco: 46 loaves of bread, 24 packages of ham, and 600 ziplock bags. Not the fanciest sandwiches, but they need soft bread and nothing too hard to chew. Everyone pitches in and it goes pretty fast...it took us about 45 minutes tonight. Luckily our friends the Brashers have the perfect set up for this with two giant islands, and they are always willing to have this crazy crowd.</div>

Luckily, my only reader isn't very discerning, and was excited enough about my boring posts yesterday to motivate me to post another one. Tonight we had my grandma's party, and the kids were excited to see their buddies from the cruise. I really think one of the secrets of close families is traveling together, I'm so grateful we could do that.</div>

Ainsley is probably the only person who is still interested in this blog, and she has begged me to start again, "but not only when we travel, just all the daily stuff." She reminded me that I'd better do a post to start the year off right. When I asked her what I should blog about, she told me to blog about the party we went to tonight. I told her that I forgot to take pictures, and she said that was okay, I could just write a paragraph. </div>

Rob's aunt Ginny and uncle Bill have a New Year's Day party every year and serve sauerkraut, which is supposed to bring good luck for the new year. The girls were skeptical of the sauerkraut (until they tried it and liked it) but it also happens to be one of two days a year that Ginny makes her famous rainbow jello, and since we were gone for Christmas, we missed the other day. Ainsley started doing a happy dance when Ginny offered to send the leftover jello home with her. She's not at all possessive about it either, as you can see. Anyway, it was great company and great food, and a nice start to 2016.</div>

P.S. I always get a little over-ambitious in January, so in that spirit, I'm attempting to blog one current post, and one "make-up" post. I picked a pretty <s>lame</s> easy one today: see <a href="http://supervisingfromthecouch.blogspot.com/2015/12/touch-down-in-houston.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

Disney was right, it is, in fact, a small, small world. Robbie's EFY counselor and his family were on our flight going home. His name is Corbin, but they called him Skip. And his nickname for Robbie was Mick Jagger, which is hilarious.<br />

We got home around 9:30 p.m. and I had to make a grocery run.

Unfortunately, so were thousands of other people. In spite of the crowds, it was pretty cool. We only took one of the four available tram tours because even though we mocked the local news for their "winter conditions" alert, we actually were totally unprepared for the cold wind as we left the museum and went to mission control. We saw the historic version, a re-creation of the room that supported the Apollo missions, including the famous Apollo 11 landing on the moon. The other available tours were to the current mission control room, the astronaut training center, and the swimming pool training facility (which is only open once a year, over Christmas break). But between the cold and the super long lines, we opted to check out other parts of the space center. <br /><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Everyone got a cool NASA t-shirt souvenir. We had planned on meeting Claudia and her family for dinner, but Ellie started feeling sick just as we were ready to leave and had to stay within bathroom distance. :( Less than optimal for the plane ride home.<br />

We disembarked from our cruise on Sunday morning, and had planned on finding a church, but I was still not feeling great and we decided to spend the afternoon visiting my friend Claudia and her family in Katy, about an hour away from our hotel in Clear Lake. We had such a great time with them, I'm kicking myself for only taking one photo. We talked and played Pit, and Catch-Phrase, and Pictionary (in Spanish!), and we all tried Samuel's hover board. Rob and I narrowly avoided becoming one of those hover board fail hashtag people, and the kids picked it up pretty quickly and all now want one. We all remembered them telling us that fried ants are a Colombian delicacy, and this trip we all had the chance to try them...they tasted a bit like popcorn, but crunchier. We seriously had the best time and stayed way later than we'd planned, but just didn't want to leave! Una familia muy hermosa: Andres Sanchez, Claudia Lizcano, Samuel (14), Isabella (12) and Lucas (6).</div>

Our first port was Cozumel. I had originally booked the tour to Chichen Itza through the cruise, but changed it after realizing the travel time there and back would be most of our day. Instead, I booked a tour to Tulum with Alma's LDS Tours after several people recommended them. It was a good thing we switched...we ended up getting there a couple of hours later than expected, and the ship's tours were cancelled. Luckily we caught the ferry from Cozumel to Playa Del Carmen just as it was leaving.</div>

It was warm. We had to remind ourselves not to complain about the heat, since that was exactly what we'd hoped for. Probably only in the 80's, but the humidity! At the end of our tour, we were provided with the authentic Mexican lunch of Subway sandwiches and returned to Playa Del Carmen to catch the ferry so we wouldn't miss the ship's sail time.</div>

It turns out we didn't need to rush. There was one passenger who didn't make it back on time, and "in the spirit of Christmas" the captain waited for him almost two hours. Still, glad we didn't have that stress.

Friday was a mad rush to get everyone packed and ready to go...I only got a few hours of sleep, and when Rob checked our flight info, he realized that I'd gotten the time wrong by an hour, so we cut it pretty close leaving for the Salt Lake airport at 7:30. But we made it, and landed in Houston around 2:00 p.m. We stayed at a hotel near the airport and I was thrilled to have a nice relaxing day, especially since my cold seemed to be getting worse.</div>

Excited to begin another adventure together.<br />
<br />
Fun fact (sarcasm font): I somehow forgot that I had booked this hotel, and booked THREE rooms that sleep six each. The early bird non-refundable rate, of course. So much for my spa budget onboard. </div>

After stopping at Tintern Abbey and loving it, we took a day trip to visit another ruined abbey, Rievaulx. The drive there was worth it alone, through some super-scenic villages—it reminded us of the Cotswolds, but without the tourists. The abbey didn't disappoint either, it's huge, and surrounded by beautiful countryside. I took an obscene number of photos. I didn't post them all, but this post is still probably one where only the most dedicated grandparents will make it to the end.</div>

There were a couple of other English Heritage sites nearby, so we stopped at those too. Here's our next stop at Helmsley Castle, also a ruin.<br />

And our final stop was a smaller abbey, Byland Abbey, where I didn't get many photos because the kids took off immediately for another game of hide-and-seek tag. I sat on a bench and enjoyed the peace and quiet, and a chat with the only two other tourists we saw there, a couple of retired men from Bristol. Wonderful day.<br />

The photo Rob and I both regret not taking is of the wedding group waiting out by this sign, smoking and talking about the distance to the nearest pub while they waited for the member couple getting sealed inside. The father of the bride was wearing his kilt, so we talked to him for a few minutes. I didn't understand most of what he said. Rob claims it's "payback" for our three months in France, when I allegedly told him and the kids "to just try harder." :)</div>

Anyway, they were a little reluctant to put down their cigarettes in order to snap a photo, but one of them did, with the instructions to get us and the sign...oh well. </div>

Sadly England didn't make it past the first round, and Ellie probably won't be able to wear this in Scotland without making someone give her the evil eye, but still a good souvenir.<br />

Today we drove about an hour north, to the Lake District. We started at the visitor's center in Brockhole, on Lake Windermere. My favorite part of the visitor's center (well, besides the free W.C.) was the Cumbrian slang display. I only wish I'd heard someone actually talking like this.</div>

We took a cruise around about half the lake (about an hour and a half) and scoped out a couple of hotels right on the water that might be nice for a return trip:<br />

After an activity packed months in Paris and London, and non-stop touring the first half of June, we were ready for a slower pace. We rented a cottage in a remote area near Preston, and it was perfect for some down time. We arrived the evening of Monday, June 16th and spent a week here.</div>

On Tuesday Robbie had an appointment at 11:00 a.m. with a podiatrist, to fix his ingrown toenails. Why didn't I take photos?! ;) Then we went shopping for shorts and groceries and came home to have dinner. After that, Ainsley and I took a walk at sunset (almost 10:00 p.m. this far north) and the countryside was spectacular.</div>

We stayed in the smaller of these two cottages, because we only needed to sleep six, but it would be an awesome place for an extended family visit, because there are multiple cottages.<br />

Rob and I thought it would be hilarious to buy ice cream cones for ourselves while the kids played. It was pretty funny when they saw us eating them. Of course we caved and they got one too.<br />

On our way from Bath to Preston we stopped in Wales to see Tintern Abbey. Wales isn't really signposted as you enter, I guess to emphasize that it is part of the UK, not a separate country. </div>

We had lunch at a great little cafe right next to the abbey. It's also a hotel, and I think it would make an awesome romantic getaway, very remote and scenic.<br />

Although there was no entrance sign, all of the signs in Wales were in English and Welsh, and Welsh does not look like an easy language to learn!<br />

So here's the deal with all the abbey ruins: when King Henry VIII made a break with Rome after the Pope wouldn't grant him a divorce, he wanted to wipe out Catholicism (and possible rebellions) completely. So there are abbey ruins all over the UK. Can't say that I condone Henry, but I must say that the ruins are pretty spectacular. So here's another abbey photo overload.<br />

After being very interested in all the public rooms and history, the tour guides offered to show us some semi-private rooms that are normally only open at a set time. The current Marquess of Bath is an artist and a hippie, and he has used an entire wing of the house as his canvas. It was super interesting and unique. </div>

Our last Sunday at the Hyde Park Chapel. We didn't develop relationships with many members, probably because they have so many visitors each week that it's not really a novelty there. Everyone was nice though and the girls really loved being able to understand everything in Primary again. Here they are with their cute Primary teacher:</div>

It was so fun to reconnect with Duane and Margaret Cardall. We lived in their ward in Millcreek for a very short time while we were looking for a house to buy. We've decided that they have one of the best missionary jobs in the church as directors of the Hyde Park visitors' center. </div>

After church I was busy making food and packing (okay, maybe a nap too), so Rob walked down to Speaker's Corner, where he says most of the speakers were Muslims railing against Christians. He must have taken a circuitous route home, he found several more homes of famous Londoners.</div>

The "on this day last year" game is especially rough when we did something really epic. This day last year was really one of our very favorite days. I think we'd all recommend Hampton Court Palace as a must-see for anyone taking a trip to London. It's a bit outside the city, a perfect break from the urban crowds. It's a great combination of beautiful architecture, history and kid-friendly activities. </div>

The buildings are spectacular, it's easy to see why HenryVIII coerced this property from Cardinal Wolsey. I loved the colors, textures and details throughout. There are over 200 decorative chimneys, and unique carved statues all over the place.</div>

Embarrassing that our first pasty of the trip was in the train station 24 days into our stay in London. It wasn't our last.<br />

Ainsley here! I am going to talk about a walk that me and my dad went on. We went to a church and on the doors it has all ten commandments. Five on each side. Here I am standing by one of the huge doors.</div>

On top of a building was a stature of something. I can't remember what this is.<br />

And we finally (after a LONG walk) we found macaroons. If you've never had a macaroon, you don't know what you're missing. They are made with two gourmet cookies, with gourmet frosting in the middle. There are many different flavors, like strawberry, lemon, chocolate, mango, lime, apple...the list goes on. They are light and soft, but kind of crunchy. It's worth a trip to Paris just for a good macaroon. Walking in Paris is the best!!<br />
