Ten things I really should be doing besides blogging

  1. I need to mop the kitchen. It's been really hot here, which means Gracie has been drinking tons of water, which means there's tons of doggie slobber on the floor. I know. Gross.
  2. I have a class tonight that requires a handout with diagrams and written instructions. It's not going to make itself, but I just haven't been able to bring myself to start it yet.
  3. The sheets have finished washing and I need to take them outside to the clothesline to dry. I love air dried sheets.
  4. I told the kids we were going to start organizing things in our basement storeroom for a garage sale. I should be all over this one, since it's a good 10 degrees cooler in the basement. But I'm feeling hung up because I know I don't have enough boxes to accomplish what I want to. Am I the only person who gets paralyzed by lame excuses?
  5. My hair has been air drying for an hour or so. I should go do something with it. It's a fuzzy mess.
  6. The table needs to be wiped from the graham cracker and pudding snack that Savannah and Ethan just ate.
  7. I'm supposed to email a recipe to a friend... got to get to that today.
  8. I have layouts that need to go into an album I just brought home from the store last night.
  9. The sink is full of dishes.
  10. I need to figure out what I'm feeding my family for dinner tonight. I have the added challenge of not wanting to turn on the oven because it's so hot... and a husband who doesn't like salad. My next husband will like salad. It'll be a requirement.

Happy Tuesday, friends!

I'm off to get something done!

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...
