And the winner is...

Cathy K!!!

As commenter #7 on "Getting to know you Wednesday," you were chosen by my sweet Savannah to be our winner this week.

See, people, it pays to de-lurk!

Let me know how I can get your gift certificate to you!

And here are my answers to Wednesday's questions, in case anyone was wondering...
  1. Jif. Skippy is too sticky. I buy the two pack at Costco at least once a month. We eat a LOT of peanutbutter here. (And I simply cannot believe you don't have Jif in Canada, Corey. How do you function? I'll have to bring you some next time I visit...)
  2. Asia only likes creamy, so that's what I buy. But I secretly really like super chunk and I always eat it when I'm at my parent's house.
  3. Mayo. I've never really 'gotten' Miracle Whip.
  4. I love both walking and biking. But I think if I had to choose, I'd walk, for the same reason as Corey - I hate helmet head.
  5. Beach. Every time. Although there's nothing like the smell of the mountains on a warm summer morning.
  6. I'm one of the few people left in the world who actually prefers carpet, I think. It's warm. And you can play on it without getting bruises. And you don't have to sweep it. I know. I'm weird.
  7. Ice cream. Although whenever I eat sorbet I can't believe how flippin' good it is.
  8. I grew up with cats. Loved them. But Asia hates them. And as you all know, now I have a love affair with a dog. Who knew?
  9. Europe. Never been to Hawaii. But I've never really wanted to go either. I love the history and architecture and lifestyle in Europe so much I hope to live there for at least a year at some time in my life...
  10. Blow dry. Although the longer my hair gets, the more I'm realizing I can get away with letting it air dry... and that's cool, because I have TONS of hair and standing there with hot air flowing over my head for 20 minutes in the summer is a nightmare.

    Cath! You could totally buy TWO jars of peanut butter: one cream, one chunk. Then you wouldn't have to sneak to your parents' house every time you have a PB attack. I have them frequently. I love PB. And I have the ever-growing muffin top to prove it.

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.

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...
