I've been tagged.

My lovely friend Tawnya has tagged me.

I'm it.

{List 6 quirky things about yourself}
  1. I simply cannot relax in the evening if there is schtuff lying about. I have to go around the living room and put things away and straighten things a bit before I can sit down and relax. I've even been known to get out the Pledge and dust a bit before plopping my bum down on the couch. I may be just a teeny tiny bit OCD...
  2. I am very much a 'go with the flow' scrapbooker. If I smudge ink or glue on something, I'll just change the layout so I can cover up my smudge. I don't measure. And I never preplan my pages. I just pull stuff out and start playing... it's all very organic to me.
  3. I have to have the laundry folded a certain way. If Asia goes downstairs to grab something out of the dryer and he folds things, thinking he's helping me out, I have to re-fold it the right way. Even the socks. There definitely a right and a wrong way to fold laundry.
  4. I have terrible fingernails. I don't polish. I have awful cuticles. Some are long, some are short. My hands are working hands, not pretty hands. I inherited short stubby fingers and figure there's not much I could do to make them look better, so I don't try.
  5. I don't really know what my natural hair color is anymore. I've colored it for so long - and whenever I try to go back to what I think is my natural color, it starts to grow out and I see I was wrong. It's brown. But I've dyed it auburn for so long that I identify much more with this exotic, spicy color. (Nice and Easy Medium Spice, for anyone who's wondering. I've always colored it myself.)
  6. I'll eat just about anything. But green onions and cilantro? Yech. Can't eat anything with them. I'll pick it all out if I have to.

I'm tagging Mindy. And Katy. And Steve and Ken because they're my big brothers and it's my job to bug them.

Happy Friday!

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...
