Tuesday. Ten.

  1. Nine days of school left. Yippee!
  2. I'm currently doing Weight Watchers to take off some extra winter padding... and also to get my lifetime membership, which is a goal in my '40 things to do before I'm 40' book. I lost 5.6 pounds my first week! Yippee!
  3. Lots to do today. I really don't like running errands.
  4. I found myself crying three times lately telling people about the whole Tejan experience. It's so strange to talk about it in the past tense... and so amazing to me how fresh the wounds remain. I wonder when I'll be able to talk about him without crying.
  5. Speaking of Tejan, I did hear a report on him. He's apparently doing fairly well with his transition back, but he 'still has a lot of america in him.' And I guess all the kids in the home are now calling everything 'cool.'
  6. I made banana bread last night. I sure hope the kids are enjoying it, because it doesn't really fit into my Weight Watchers plan... no banana bread for me.
  7. New favorite CD? Sara Bareilles. Wow, this girl can sing.
  8. I've got sunflower seedlings ready to go into the ground... now if I can just find the umph to get outside and clean out the flowerbed where they need to go... I hate weeding. But I love sunflowers. Maybe tomorrow. Yes. Tomorrow.
  9. I'm still crocheting up a storm... I'm on my second scarf and am looking for an easy afghan pattern to tackle next, I think. There's something about the simple repeptive nature of the stitches that brings me so much comfort. I'm not scrapbooking at all. But I sure am crocheting.
  10. Want to know your 'color personality?' I had fun taking this quiz this morning. I'm 'Al Fresco' and "Leather, Stone and Wood.' Who knew?

Happy Tuesday, friends. Smooches to you all.

    I need to do a list of 40 things to do before I am 40. I guess i am still a bit in denial that it is coming. Love your Tuesday 10.

    Blessings.

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...
