On Thursday afternoon we picked the kids up from school and drove up to Great Wolf Lodge for some water park fun in celebration of Livia’s birthday. We stayed overnight and all day Friday (yes, we kept the kids out of school–tsk, tsk!). I am glad to be home again, where it’s quiet and easier to sleep, but I also miss the park. There the pool area is warm (there’s even a hot tub), and we spent a lot of time together as a family. Here it is chilly, and we’re all on our individual computers, separated. I think I will have to plan another family trip soon.

Every elective class that I took in college, whether it was English comp or anthropology or organic chemistry, was really exciting to me. I just always said, Oh, I want to major in this. And, you know, eventually found my way to the wonderful career of novelist in which we get to major in everything.
