Another Monday. Funny how that happens every week...

I couldn't find my flag this morning.

I can't imagine where it's gone, since I've always kept it in the same place.

I really wanted to fly it today.

Darn it.

Asia is gone this week. He left this morning at some awful hour to drive to Yak Vegas.

I mean Yakima.

He's been home for 11 days, so it's kind of funny to have him gone again. So far the traveling has only been good for us. Makes me really appreciate him when he's here. But to be completely honest, I kind of like when he's gone. I get to control the remote, scrapbook whenever I want and feed the kids salad for dinner. Plus, I sleep really well.

LOVE having him home, but I don't mind at all when he's gone, either.

And, he's started reading my blog. He never did before. But now he likes to check in and see what I'm up to.

You should all say hi to him. 'Cause he reads the comments.

The other day, he said "So who are Katy and Susie?" I tried to explain my internet buddies, but he doesn't really get it.

(Hi honey! Love you!)

Cleaning today... What is it about weekends? The house sort of explodes when everyone's here. I LOVE picking up on Monday mornings. I already got the kitchen mopped. Still have to vacuum and dust...

Clean house = Happy Cathy.

Lots to do, so I'm off.

Can't be spending hours on the internet, now can we?

Love you all.

Be sure to thank God today for freedom... we can't take if for granted anymore, can we?

    Hi Asia! How are you?
    Cathy, I am impressed that you give your kids salad for dinner. We often do cereal. With white wine, never red. Red is for more robust meals.

    Hey Cath....your mom and i were scrapbooking the other day and she and i both were saying we need some sort of directory too for your blog. sort of a glossary since we sometimes have no idea who you're talking about. (i finally got the dd and dh figured out). and what if in the future decades someone reads your blogs (that you've saved) and they wonder who so-and-so is. also, just for the official record, many of my patients never look at their poops. i ask 'have you ever had black or tarry stools' and they look puzzled and say 'i never look.' i guess some folk just aren't curious.
    P.S. and i think asia should give us updates from the field on great places (cheap) to eat. since he's doing all that travelling.

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...
