Recording real life...


My morning ritual... Posted by Hello I started drinking green tea a couple of months ago after seeing Dr. Perricone on Oprah... he said if you replace coffee with green tea, you could lose up to 8 pounds. Well, being a sucker for a quick fix, I gave it a try. I did lose some weight, but who knows if it was due to the tea or the fact that I was REALLY good about counting my beloved Weight Watcher's points... Anyway - the point of this, is really that I have come to love my green tea. And I choose it most mornings over coffee now. Of course, if I have coffee drinkers staying with us, I'll make a pot and I still LOVE my morning cupajoe, but I am enjoying my tea too.

Now, for you non-scrapbookers wondering why the heck I made a page about a cup of tea, it's part of my new, inspired way of scrapbooking. Specifically, in May, I took a picture each day for the whole month. Pictures of every day, routine-ish stuff. Laundry. The grocery store. The dinner table. Normal life, if you will. And I'm doing a layouts with those pictures... a month's worth of single photos showing a little piece of my day. It's all part of the evolution of what I'll boldly call my art. Not my hobby. It is my art.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
