Tuesday means I'm going to write ten random things... (we like predictability, don't we?)

  1. I have officially finished my fall class schedule, which means I'm booked through December. Wow. It's challenging to think about Christmas projects when it's 90 degrees outside, but that's the nature of my job.
  2. We watched Two Towers last night. I was exhausted when it was over and totally aware that I am not a courageous person.
  3. I've started hanging some laundry out on my clothesline. This does a couple of things: it makes me feel like a real live housewife. And it makes me feel less guilt for running the air conditioner. Plus - nothing smells better than laundry that's been outside to dry.
  4. I love the library in the summer. The kids and I go and everyone finds their own little corner to read and hunt out treasures. It's cool in there. And there are really really a LOT of books there. And DVDs. And magazines. Gotta love the library.
  5. The kids go to VBS next week. They love it. I love the little midsummer break. Everyone's happy.
  6. We've smelled a skunk in our backyard twice now. I do NOT want a skunk in my backyard. Go away, stinky skunk!
  7. It's so hard to get to the club to work out in the summer. I'm feeling a little pudgy. Gotta walk the dog more. Or somethin'.
  8. Is it wrong to give each of my kids a few bucks to go through the line by themselves when the grocery store has a limit of 1 on cheese or milk or eggs? I remember doing this for my mom when I was little, so it must be okay, right? After all, they're paying customers... it doesn't exactly say "limit 1 per household" - just limit 1. I think that means per customer.
  9. I'm getting eager for our annual trip to the beach. LOVE the beach.
  10. Flights from Orlando to Spokane are running around $500 right now. I know this because I'm trying to find one for Asia's brother to come visit. Yikes!

Happy Tuesday, friends.

    You just inspired me to go buy a clothesline. There is no reason I couldn't hang clothes out.

    I LOVE your new blog banner! It is perfect! :D

    I leave you to your conscience on number 8. :D

    I have been hanging my laundry for almost 7 years now all year long. It was a big change at first but now I am used to it. Adding two little girls has been a challenge to make sure they get their clothes in time but overall it is good. When our house is done I hope to get a dishwasher which would be such a luxury. It is amazing the things you can do without. I would have to say though that internet would not be one of them. Happy Tuesday, Leana

    Hey Cathy,
    I'm recovering from a nasty flu bug. Checking in on your blog was one of the first things I've done. I love the new banner, too.

    I love your new banner. Gotta figure out how to do that. I am getting tired of the same four pictures at the top of readerman

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.
