Miscellany






Just a few shots of things that made me happy this week...
  1. Chicken and broccoli for lunch. Almost every day this week I steamed a big ol' bowl of broccoli, then added some chicken with just a smidge of Yumm sauce. Perfect. I don't know why I crave sweets so much when this is so pickin' delicious.
  2. The Art Show at my kids' school this week. I was amongst about 25 parent/artists who displayed their wares. This event is one of the most well attended school events each year... I love that it's a priority for our school to expose kids to the arts. And it's really fun to see a year's worth of work all in one place.
  3. Gracie's wrinkles. Well, actually, all of her... I realized this week that she is a little tangible picture of God's presence... when I'm home, she follows me from room to room - just wanting to be with me. She always looks up at me with her adoring eyes - faithfully loving me whether I return her love or not. A clearer picture of God's faithfulness and unconditional love I've not seen for a long time.
  4. I finally found frames for these black and whites I had taken of the kids last fall... I LOVE them on the kitchen wall. They just make me happy.
  5. Asia got up this morning and finally organized the CDs that had yet to find a home in the new kitchen. We got rid of a whole box of stuff we never listen to and rediscovered some great old music we hadn't bothered to pull out in ages. Can you say MC Hammer? (Okay, I don't own an MC Hammer CD, but I do own a CD that he sings on. That was good for a nice long laugh and a little dancing. Asia just rolled his eyes. Be glad you weren't here.)

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...
