Random blatherings on a sunny Saturday.

  • I've just hardly been on the computer at all lately. And so I haven't been blogging. Have you noticed? Do you miss me?
  • Even when I do have computer time, I can't seem to think of a thing to say.
  • The weather has been so nice. I got my whole back flower bed weeded and planted today with the sweetest snapdragons and zinnias. It's just lovely. And it makes me want to be outside even more, just so I can admire my handiwork in the garden.
  • I read a quote the other day from a college notebook I found in the basement... I can't stop thinking about it. It said: "We are what we think others think we are." What do you think?
  • Our dear friend Jay is back from spending 8 months in France and came over for dinner tonight. We BBQ'd and ate outside. He has the most horrible beard that he grew the entire time he was gone. It nearly reaches the floor. He's too young to know about ZZ Top, but that's who he reminds me of. He's downstairs with the kids playing on the Wii. So good to have him back.
  • I think I'm going to go outside and take the dog for a walk. I'm just so happy to have warm weather. It makes me a little silly.
  • Hope you're all having a lovely weekend!

    My children know ZZ Top, unfortunately. We listen to 'classic rock' sometimes because of their love for guitar and bass. You can't imagine the songs and bands they appreciate.

    Loving summer, too.
    I do miss your blogging. I still check you every day....

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...
