a belated winner announcement...

Sorry it took me a couple of days to get this written.

The winner of 'getting to know you Wednesday' this week is M & F Mom.
(Sorry I don't know your real name!)

Comment here for me and let me know what kind of cards you want. I'll make them 'specially for you and pop them in the post next week. Oh - and I'll need your email so I can get your addy.

Congrats!

And thanks to everyone for playing. It was good to hear that so many of you really don't feel the need for a do-over. And those of you who did want one, it was neat to hear that you spoke without regret - and instead you recognized that all your choices led up to who you are today...

My do-over? It would be more travel. Much like Corey - who wished she had travelled more in her 20's. I was just afraid, I think, when I was young. And so I didn't dream very big.

But I don't regret anything. It just would have been a lot easier to see the world then than it is now!

Happy weekend, friends.

    Cathy -I have two friends on my facebook in there mid 20's who travel the world together...I see all there pic's and think of me and you - it would have been so fun (it is tanessa mcgladdery and lindsey madsen) - they just got back from uganda, they are both nurses and they have awesome pic's of their journey to paris...still believing for our 40th year travel. I have a friend who is turning 40 that year who is interested in meeting up to journey there with us - she loves the idea of pilgrimage for 40 year celebrations. We should probably begin to plan and figure the damage, eh? Chat soon.

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...
