Nervous Nelly

Okay. Blogger is being freaky today. Slow. Disappearing posts. Stuff missing. So if I try this one more time and my words all disappear into the black hole of cyberspace, I'm warning you now. I may just say a naughty word and call it a day. Of course, then you'd never know, would you?

Today is day three of a three day spree of no outside obligations. LOVE how much I can get done and how much fun stuff I can fit in when I don't have to be anywhere. I've had both the urge to create and the time to do so. I've been able to stay caught up on chores and even take the time to bake for my family. The dog and I have taken long walks, and my bed is made. I'm feelin' good, can ya tell?

I went to Bath and Body works yesterday to stock up on hand soap while they were on sale and use a coupon... I don't know what it is about that store. I cannot get out of there without spending WAY too much money. Words like 'kitchen lemon' and 'sun-ripened raspberry' call my name and I add things to my basket like I'm made of money. I did get a $14.50 tube of "gradual tanning lotion" that actually smells good for free... that's a good thing. The girly with the apron told me she'd been using it for a few weeks and her skin was the most gloriously unstreaked shade of tan I've seen in a long time... hope it works. I'm all for color, but very anti-sun. Wrinkles, you know. Oh - and there's that cancer thing too.

I'm going to be stingy with my time this morning and sign off. Lots to do.

Enjoy Spring today, wherever you are... isn't it glorious?

    I love BBW too. My new favorite is the Romance line. Just *love* that lotion. Anything "sun-ripened" is awesome too. :)

    I gave up trying to look tan a *long* time ago. Irish skin, just won't have it and that whole "cancer thing" too. *LOL*

    Spring is very hot & humid here, but I am still loving all the color back again!

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.

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...
