My happy list

My new purse is making me happy. I love the colors and the dangly bead thingy that hangs off one of the handles and that I can easily reach in to grab my phone when it rings. I also like that while it is open on top, it has a zippered pocket inside in which I can store my wallet.

I love yourmusic.com. LOVE that I can stock up on CDs that I always thought would be cool to own but never wanted to pay $18.00 for. My latest shipment? The Cars: Complete Greatest Hits. I LOVE The Cars. "Drive" always reminds me of my first love. "Who's gonna drive you home...." Ahhhh. Great stuff.

Feeling better after two days on the couch was great yesterday... I still find myself tiring quickly, but was able to get laundry done and the kitchen mopped and some groceries bought. I can only handle letting my house go for a couple of days and then something has to be done.

The weather has been spectacular... cool nights and warm days and not a cloud in sight. The trees are just beginning to turn - I see hints of red and yellow all over town. Mmmm - I love fall.

Had a great sermon on Sunday about friendship... been thinking a lot about mine and what it is that makes some friendships endure and others fade. I'm especially grateful for my old friends... those who have been by my side for decades. You can't beat that. Brooke, Corey, Kelly - love you guys.

Clean sheets are so lovely.

So is a clean bathtub.

Isn't Downey great? Love that smell.

Lots to do today.

More cleaning.

More laundry.

PTG meeting.

Grocery shopping.

Walk the dog.

Scrapbook.

Life is good.

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...
