Mornin' friends!

Ah, Spring!

After pouring down rain all day Saturday and weather forecasts predicting more of the same, we were treated to a glorious, sunny Easter morning. It couldn't have been more beautiful.

The kids got their Easter baskets, Asia got his Resses Peanutbutter Eggs, and I got my chocolate. My friend Deb even brought chocolate to church for me. (Thanks!) The highlight though? A little Peep bunny floating in my latte from Brews Brothers. How pickin' cute is that?

Truth be told, I felt lousy when I went to bed last night. I didn't gorge, by any means, but I ate quite a bit of chocolate. And coffee cake. And other assorted nummies. And I felt pretty miserable. The more I strive for healthy eating, the more I notice when I fall off the wagon.

This morning I start a new attempt to organize my time. I sat down with the new class newsletter while I was at work over the weekend and planned out my schedule in terms of class samples. If I don't get them done in a timely manner it's like there's this dark cloud hanging over my head. I get cranky. I lose inspiration. I start feeling a little lost, creatively. With my plan though, I know what I need to get done when, and I feel empowered to create without pressure. It's a good thing.

Time to get moving. It's a busy day.

Costco. The fabric store. The pet store. The bank.

Bless you, friends.

    Oh, I *love* the bunny in the cup! So cute! (providing that kelly was just kidding of course, otherwise it's just gross...*LOL*)

    I know what you mean about trying to eat healthy and then eating something not so healthy. I get these weird headaches now when I eat certain foods. Does that stop me though? *LOL*

    I need to find that flax seed pasta you mentioned in your other post. Sounds awesome!

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...
