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!

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...

Phlumpyschlumpy.

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...

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...
