Sorry for the weird contrast, I posted at LJ instead of here so I'm copying the entry to here and I can't figure out how to change the background color.

This is the last week of school! His last day is actually Thursday and they get out at noon.  He has a day camp next week and he's also doing karate twice a week starting today.  We'll probably go to the library a lot, the park, the zoo, the beach, the festivals, and venture out of town for some other stuff like King Richard's Faire and a bigger zoo that's pretty awesome.  The animals have really large habitats and there's even a big space in a wooded area where deer just roam around and you can go up to them.  I don't know, I guess a lot of people have issues with zoos but as long as they have a lot of space I don't have a problem with it.  I feel better about zoos than I do about circus animals, at least.

We went to a family therapist yesterday, my husband and I, to fill out the new patient paperwork.  I was surprised to see she was around our age because she sounded older on the phone.  We got around to talking about my hobbies and it went a little like this:

"So what do you do for fun?"

my husband: "Well she likes concerts...only one band though..."

me, getting all embarrassed and laughing

her: "It can't be as bad as who I like!"

me, getting a funny feeling: "Who?"

her: "...New Kids?"

*cue me fangirling, laughing at my husband for thinking she would roll her eyes or at least not be impressed*

It was awesome.  But because the session wasn't supposed to be about fangirling, I dropped it.  Still, so awesome. 
Aside from being a kindred spirit, she seemed very nice.  I hope she'll help smooth over some of the bumps we seem to encounter with our impatience and lack of a routine or DH and me being on the same page at all.  I think she'll be talking to our son more than anything, but I hope my husband and I will be quite involved too.

I've also started eating better and doing a couch to 5k program.  If any of you are on myfitnesspal.com you can add me-my username is daylilies.  I don't track my food or exercise but I use the blog, I weigh in roughly once a week and I try to comment on people's updates a lot.  I lost 3 lbs. last week, and I'm aware it won't always be that big a loss but I was quite motivated by that.  I'm a little worried about staying in the groove of eating well and using the treadmill when my son is out of school, but hopefully I can stick with it.

My husband and I saw World War Z yesterday and it was very good.  I don't remember the book, but DH said it was completely different and that's fine.  I remember it being about a lot of different people in the book and it's kind of hard to pull that off in a movie unless their timelines cross paths at some point, which I don't think they did, aside from all being about the outbreak, obviously.  I still thought it was well done.
