A brief hello.

We're in the home stretch. I've been a cleaning, painting, dusting, dog training, organizing, advent reading, decorating, birthday celebrating, toaster-oven cooking fool for the past week.

It's been quite the adventure.

There is still much to do, but it's coming together.

I LOVE what I see so far.

I'll post pictures when it's ALL done.

Thanks for coming back, and for being patient as I focus on my non-blogging priorities.

I'll be in and out for the next few days.

Love to everyone.

    I miss, miss, miss you. I'm so happy to hear that you have reached the home stretch. YAY. I'm really anxious to see your pictures. Secretly, I was hoping you would have some up today (grin). I'll have to pop back in frequently just so that I don't miss your Big Reveal!

    Still missing you.
    Still stopping by hoping to see picture.
    Still trying to find a way to go to CHA.
    I may have found my Christmas Spirit. All it took was a little prayer... why did I not think of that before?

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...

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...
