Can you say scatterbrained?

  • The dog is snoring.
  • I just helped make an Egyptian pyramid out of those long, skinny wafer cookies with K.
  • Russ Taft is singing White Christmas.
  • Everyone else is downstairs trying to advance to the next level of E.'s new Lego Star Wars 2 game on the Game Cube.
  • Lots going on these days, eh? And we're not even busy with major Christmas productions and parties... still, with three birthdays in the six weeks before Christmas, and a trip in the works to see extended family, I'm feeling the crunch.
  • Gotta finish my application for Tejan... like, yesterday.
  • Am I going to start baking, ever?
  • The kids only have 5 more days of school before Christmas break... agh!
  • Rainy, rainy, rainy outside. Lots of slushy, melty snow. Yech.
  • Went to a local church's christmas program last night... smarmy is the best word I can come up with to describe it. It was well done, but oh, so smarmy.
  • I love that word smarmy.
  • And glom.
  • As in, "I held a baby in church this morning who immediately glommed onto my necklace and wouldn't let go."
  • Considering a change of Christmas tree decorations for my big tree next year. Gotta think about that now so I can take advantage of those big after Christmas markdowns.
  • We put colored lights on the kids' tree this year - it's been years since I had colored lights on any tree. They're so pretty.
  • The holiday season is a great season for me in terms of my job... lots and lots of people making gift projects = lots and lots of class fees. I'm rollin' in it right now.
  • I LOVE candles.
  • I've been wanting to go to a movie lately... I can't remember the last time I saw a movie in the theatre. I want to see that new one with Cameron Diaz... The Holiday? I think that's what it's called.
  • We'll be traveling on Christmas Eve this year, coming home from our extended family Christmas. Christmas Eve is K.'s birthday. We decided instead of driving all the way home on his birthday, we're going to stay at a really nice hotel and do the pool and room service and watch a movie... everyone's excited about it. We'll drive home on Christmas Day and then do our family Christmas when we get home. It's going to be different, but fun, I think.
  • Okay. That's all.

    I forgot all about glom...
    But it brought back memories. I remember just not even trying to wear necklaces when my babies were all little and then in later years would forget when we went somewhere where there were babies and sure enough the earrings or necklaces was the first thing they went for. About lost some ear lobes.

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...
