Right now...

  1. I'm sitting cross-legged on my couch with my favorite blanket and my laptop
  2. It's 10:13 p.m.
  3. Asia is watching "Law and Order"
  4. The kids are asleep all snug in their beds
  5. I'm wearing jammie pants and a black t-shirt
  6. The dishwasher is running
  7. The book I bought tonight at the used book store is sitting on the coffee table
  8. I'm about to go take a bath and get ready for bed
  9. My nose is running - I think I might be getting a cold
  10. I just saw a preview for a new show called "Three Wishes" with Amy Grant - I'm all teary eyed just from the preview

    Favorite Blanket? I would feel so bad if I was thinking that it would be the one I made you and you reply "No, a different one"! I guess life would still go on but I would feel like you were being so stand offish and snooty...hee ! I just had to add that! SMILE!!! Love ya tons! I so get you. You had me a hello!!

  2. Well duh - of course it's the one you made me!!!

    I've thought several times that I should replace it with one that matches my decor better, but then I think "Nah, Brooke made this for me..."

    BWA-HA-HA-HA... (that's an evil laugh in case you didn't get that...)

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.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m...

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...
