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.

It came out of the faucet that way.

It's been months since I've had a "Getting to Know You Wednesday." Life's been a little crazy. So today, when life is a little bit calm and I've got the least chaotic week I've had for ages, I thought I'd jump back in. So today, if you leave me a comment telling me your most favorite-ist movie line ever, I'll enter you in a drawing for your very own copy of Josh Groban's new Christmas CD - Noel . It's a good one, folks. Classic holiday music from such a wonderful vocalist... you'll like it, I promise. I just want one movie line. Not your three favorite... not a paragraph. Just one line. The one you find yourself repeating. The one that makes you laugh every time. Your very favorite movie line of all time. And if you're the first person to name the movie my title is from, you'll get an extra entry in the drawing. Now, let's hear it.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

Are you ready for this?

How did it get to be Wednesday? Seriously. There aren't enough hours in the day - even when you're up at 2:00 am. And no - I didn't get up at 2:00 this morning. I slept all the way until 5:00! Anywho - I decided I needed something new to blog. Something to shake you all out of your 'thoughts from the deep recesses' stupor. Something to get your blood pumping and your fingers tingling. Something to inspire long and meaningful comments. From you. My beloved readers. It's a new weekly Thoughts From the Deep Recesses feature. It's "Getting to Know you Wednesday" Now this could either be lots of fun, or it could just totally flop, and I could go to bed crying because my blog readers are a bunch of takers who only come here to read and never interact. Like a piece of fresh fruit, you squeeze the juice out of my hard-written and well thought out posts and then you toss them aside, wandering on to the next blog with a simple click of your mouse.
