Mardi dix

  1. Tomorrow is E.'s birthday. Just got home from buying his last two presents. I even got them wrapped. And guess what? The scrap left over from the first present fit perfectly around the second present. Little things like that are exceedingly cool to me.
  2. Asia is on week two of a three week-in-a-row travel schedule. I usually don't mind him being gone, but three weeks in a row is a bit much. Especially when he's missing a birthday in there.
  3. I've been desperately missing involvement in a formal music program this Christmas. Last year I was okay with it, having just found our church and still being in the process of healing from the ex-church. But this year I just want to get together with my singing friends and make harmonious, beautiful Christmas music together. I've shed a few tears over this, which has surprised me. I really do love music. And I'm missing it's presence in my life... what's a girl to do?
  4. Christmas is expensive. Even with being extremely thoughtful and careful about how much we spend. I feel like I'm just pulling out my debit card all the time lately.
  5. Spokane is such a fun place to live in regards to weather. I can't tell you how many times lately I've been driving home through the snow laden streets and have been overwhelmed with the unique beauty of winter. I LOVE having four distinct seasons.
  6. I haven't gotten a family picture to send with our Christmas cards this year. Do I push it and drag my family out in the snow to try to get one, or do I just let it go? It's a dilemma.
  7. I want to start some holiday baking... not sure if I can swing it today, but I've definitely got the urge. Can you say fudge?
  8. I really love Christmas music. I've been listening to The Messiah almost every day. The kids, of course, have to sing along in their best holiday voices whenever the Hallelujah Chorus comes on. Good times.
  9. All I want for Christmas is a cleaning lady.
  10. The kids have their Christmas program at church this weekend. I can't wait to see it. Nothing brings happy tears to my eyes like a great kids Christmas program.

Happy Tuesday, all.

    Mmmm, fudge. Yes, I can say fudge. Can you say sugar cookies? I think there are a few ladies who would be interested in your cookie recipe :)

    *if you have time*

    MMMMmmm, fudge. My dad sent a batch down two weekends ago with my sister and I am still enjoying it. Yum.

    Oh yeah, you totally need to visit the knowledge co-op for the sugar cookie recipe ... how's that for dropping a hint. Sigh.

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.
