Tuesday Ten.

  1. I was wide awake at 2:30 in the morning and composed 7 of my Tuesday 10... unfortunately, I can't remember any of it now.
  2. I am officially completely done with all my class samples through the end of the year. It's a good feeling. Except that now it's time to start thinking about my January - April classes. It never ends... but I'm not complaining. I love my job.
  3. We haven't quite adjusted to the time change around here. The dog wanted to go to bed at 9:00 last night and Kyler was up at 6:15.
  4. We're off this weekend to our annual weekend in Leavenworth... it's Savannah's birthday weekend and we've spent the last four years celebrating it in a beautiful vacation home owned by some dear friends. It's one of the most relaxing places on earth. We're really hoping for some snow... it usually snows while we're there and we're dying to show Tejan the cold, white, fluffy stuff!
  5. I don't think I mentioned that Savannah got baptized a couple of weeks ago... she chose all on her own to do it... I was so proud as she stood in front of the whole church and said "I've pretty much always known God, for at least as long as I can remember, but I want everyone here to know that I want to follow Jesus for all my life." Good stuff. Good girl.
  6. There's a house on my street that went up for sale yesterday for $330,000. On my street. In Spokane. I'll be very curious to see what they get for it. The most any other house has gone for on our street is around $220K. I just can hardly believe it's worth that much... but maybe they have gold toilets or something I don't know about. I'm meeting my girlfriend Ann there this morning to look at it... I'm totally being the looky-loo neighbor. But Ann is house-hunting... so I think that makes me legit...
  7. We're going tonight to pick up Tejan. He's been gone since last Thursday, visiting friends in the Seattle area and seeing Quami, Eddie and Masa one last time before they headed back to Sierra Leone. Can't wait to see him.
  8. Ethan has become a serious kickball fanatic. Every day after school I hear the tales of who drop-kicked the ball, or who got him out, or whether anyone kicked their shoe off... it's some serious playground drama, for sure.
  9. Blogging while the kids are getting ready for school is just foolishness. Why do I even try?
  10. Happy Tuesday, dear ones.

    Wow, kickball! It's outlawed at our elementary school. Go Ethan!

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.
