We've been STUNned

We had our first STUN meeting today. It was so fun! It was a small group, but all the kids got on like gangbusters, and we ended up spending four hours together. Success! Next week, it's supposed to be sunny, so we're having our meeting out at Lake Roesiger Park.

I can't get over how excited *I* am by this group. It was something I thought I was doing for the kids, but it's turned into a really fun thing for me. Once again, parenthood leads to fulfillment in surprising ways.

After STUN, the girls and I went shopping with my mom. It was a mutual birthday event for mom and me, with the girls along for fun. The best part was our lovely visit over Panda Express and Cinnabons. Socializing, American style.

At work yesterday, I found out that my solitude is already coming to an end: I'll have an officemate when I return to work tomorrow. I hope we're compatible.
