Eeeek.

Seriously.

I'm scared of all the things I need to accomplish in the next few days.

And of course, I was planning a hugely productive day of errand running, and I have a sick child.

So I'm home instead.

Still working hard, getting stuff done.

Just not really accomplishing what I had hoped to today.

I've got lots of great pictures to share from the weekend still... we just had such a nice time. And here it is Wednesday. Ah well.

I'll pop a few in at the end of this post and we'll go from there, eh?

The other night at the dinner table the kids and I were asking 'either/or' questions of each other. It helps makes dinner a fun time for all of us - especially when Asia is gone.

So I asked K. a question. And he answered it, then it was his turn to ask someone.

"E. - would you rather," he paused while he tried to think of a good one...

"Would you rather marry Elise and live under the sea..."

E. giggles at the thought...

K. continues, "or marry Lena and live with a bunch of pigs?"

(Both are sweet little girls from our bible study group - E. has proclaimed himself smitten with both of them on occasion.)

E. took a deep breath.
"Ooh. That's a hard one..." he is visibly struggling and wants to answer the question carefully.

"That's a hard one," he repeats, "because I really like pigs..."

Time to go pick up the one healthy kid who's coming home after school today.


First, though, some more pictures as promised.

Cheers, friends.

    Wonderful photos. I love the one of the gloves on the hearth. And Ethan sipping hot chocolate.

    This is great because now you have a wonderful selection of photos to use in your HOF entry. (hint hint)

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.

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.

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
