10.

  1. How is it that hot water poured over little ground up beans makes such a magical drink?
  2. The weather has been positively glorious the past four or five days... we had our first dinner out on the deck Sunday night. I love dining al fresco.
  3. I just had to google 'al fresco' to be sure it meant what I thought it meant. I had this fear I was saying I liked dining nude.
  4. Speaking of google, I don't really Google anymore. I use Swagbucks now exclusively. Are you using Swagbucks? Because it's just another search engine, except that you can earn points (swagbucks) and then turn them in for free stuff. I've already earned $15 in Amazon gift cards. I'm just saving them for Christmas... hey - it's free money.
    Search & Win
  5. Kyler ran his personal best for the mile last week at his track - finished at 5:12. His goal is to do a sub-five mile this year... GO KYLER!
  6. I love the end of the school year busy-ness... we're constantly on the go with some event or another, but so many of the events have become cherished traditions that it's all fun. Good stuff.
  7. Apparently the mother of all neighborhood garage sales is happening this weekend up on the north side of town... I've never been to this particular one, but hear it's crazy big. I think I'll try to get up there on Saturday...
  8. Asia recently got hired for a new position that will start May 1st... he'll be supervising again here in the Spokane office. Things were beginning to look a little iffy in his current position, with the state mandating once a month unpaid furloughs and other pay cuts so he decided to be a little proactive and get himself into a more secure position. This means no more travel for him - which he's so excited about. He was getting really tired of hotel rooms after traveling for almost four years. I always kind of liked him traveling occasionally so I could make shrimp for me and the kids... but that's a silly reason to want him to keep his old job when he wasn't happy, now isn't it?
  9. I brought the summer clothes up from the basement a few days ago... it helps tremendously with being satisfied with what I've got since I'm not buying clothes this year... That said, my one clause for buying clothes was that I could still buy things at garage sales and I found two really pretty spring-y blouses at a sale last weekend...$2 each. Score!
  10. Today is the two-year anniversary of the day T. left. How can it have been two years already???

Happy Tuesday, friends!

  1. It has been TWO years since T went home??? No way!! Wow. Time flies so fast. Is that a getting old thing or am I just noticing the passage of time more because I can mark it by things like my kids changes or T's visit??
    And WAY to GO Kyler! :)

  2. Tee-hee about "al fresco." :)

    I want to go to the Camelot sale so badly, but my hubby's going fishing with a friend he rarely sees. I'm not enough of a glutton for punishment to bring four children alone. Boohoo for me.

  3. Yikes...I think pouring hot water over those ground up beans would "gag a maggot". I like the smell of coffee, but the taste is appalling.

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.

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.

Good morning, peeps. It's Friday. There's frost outside this morning. *FROST!* This week has been ridiculously chilly. I'm having mixed feelings about blogging lately. Mostly because I feel like all I've been doing is whine about being tired. Or overwhelmed. And because comments are lacking. And because I can't seem to think about anything to write about except Tejan. And because some of the thoughts I'm having are too private for the blog - or too repetitive. Or too unformed to turn into actual words you all could understand. So I'm struggling a bit. And yet, I'm committed to documenting the process I'm in. So I'll keep writing when the words come. And when they don't, like this morning, when I looked at that intimidating blinking cursor and my mind went blank and I started to break out in a cold sweat and began by talking about the weather... well, then, I'll just gracefully (or not so gracefully) back out of the room... tail between m
