Ten


  1. Leaving the post office today I was behind a van for a business specializing in "Cooking Oil Filtration and Fryer Maintenance." Now, I can bet that none of you ever wanted to do that when you grew up...
  2. Lots of scrapbooking paper on ebay this week... clearing out is a good thing.
  3. Cracklin' Oat Bran is the best cereal ever. So yummy. Plus, I love anythin' that leaves of that final 'g'.
  4. Made an appointment today for my pre-cruise pedicure and gel tips for my nails. That'll be nice. I'm using a gift certificate for a local spa that Asia gave me last year for our anniversary... in June. Yea, I'm slow.
  5. School newspaper went out today. Now it's time to start the sixth grade yearbook. How do I end up doing all these things?
  6. The basketball hoop has been getting lots of love lately. Love spring weather and the sound of a ball bouncing outside my window.
  7. I really love Costco. For photo developing. And shredded cheese. And the big box of General Foods International French Vanilla. And grapes. And toilet paper and butter and eggs.
  8. Mending is one of those things that I think I don't want to do, but then when I get out the needle and thread and sit down to do it, I feel all Laura Ingalls Wilder-ish and I love it.
  9. My hair has gotten so long that today when I ran into an old friend from the ex-church, she didn't recognize me. Wow. It's only a couple of inches above my bra strap - that's really long for me... It hasn't been this long since we were engaged...
  10. Look what I found on my door today... sneaky S. went in her room and made if for me after school. Turns out her teacher explained the May Day Basket tradition in class today and she took it upon herself to make one all by herself. So sweet.

    I didn't think anyone still carried on the Mayday tradition. Good for S's teacher!

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.
