Obviously, Maranda having her mole removed was not very traumatic since I didn't feel the need to blog the day she had it done. She still has 8 stitches in her arm - they did more stitches than they might normally do so the scar would be smaller - but, she did pretty well. Although, Mark said that she didn't appreciate it when they cauterized the wound and her arm began smoking. :) The stitches come out next week.
Well, it is beautiful here. For the past three days, I've watched students from my office window outside playing a variety of games on the lawn out front. It's 67 degrees here, sunny, with a slight breeze. Absolutely perfect. I think it might stay like this now.
On a completely unrelated note...our household was quite excited that Sanjaya finally got voted off of American Idol. I wasn't home during the show on Wednesday, but they called me to tell me the results while I was driving home from a student government meeting. Our favorite is Blake Lewis. So, if you vote....vote for him. :)

Happy Easter!
Well yesterday was Easter. We didn't do anything too exciting and, in fact, didn't even get around to dyeing Easter eggs until Saturday. When there was a half-inch of snow on the ground when we got up! It was April 7 and it was snowing most of the morning. The snow had pretty much melted by nighttime, but it was able to accumulate to almost an inch before it started warming back up.
You gotta love being at a Catholic institution. The place was closed down on Friday and today the offices are open, but no classes. It's really quiet. Maybe, I'll get my desk cleaned off today. Oh wait...let's not get too crazy. :)
Maranda had Friday off from school and her break continues today and tomorrow. She's getting a mole removed from her arm tomorrow. It's a pretty big mole that's been there since birth, but she says she's getting teased about it now and has been itching to get it removed since Christmas. Although, I think she's starting to worry. Last night, she started asking all kinds of questions about what the needle will look like, if it will hurt, etc. I've got meetings in the morning and Mark will be the one accompanying her to the Doctor's office. I think that may be for the best. I'll come home in the afternoon to take care of my baby. How wimpy am I? I think every mother out there can relate to that first time their child had to get immunized and they had to help hold their baby down, so the injection could happen. This kind of feels like that did, I think. You do it because it needs to be done, but it's upsetting and you hate that you have to do it. We'll see what she thinks of this whole process when it's over. Maybe, I'll report more tomorrow.
