Recording real life...


My morning ritual... Posted by Hello I started drinking green tea a couple of months ago after seeing Dr. Perricone on Oprah... he said if you replace coffee with green tea, you could lose up to 8 pounds. Well, being a sucker for a quick fix, I gave it a try. I did lose some weight, but who knows if it was due to the tea or the fact that I was REALLY good about counting my beloved Weight Watcher's points... Anyway - the point of this, is really that I have come to love my green tea. And I choose it most mornings over coffee now. Of course, if I have coffee drinkers staying with us, I'll make a pot and I still LOVE my morning cupajoe, but I am enjoying my tea too.

Now, for you non-scrapbookers wondering why the heck I made a page about a cup of tea, it's part of my new, inspired way of scrapbooking. Specifically, in May, I took a picture each day for the whole month. Pictures of every day, routine-ish stuff. Laundry. The grocery store. The dinner table. Normal life, if you will. And I'm doing a layouts with those pictures... a month's worth of single photos showing a little piece of my day. It's all part of the evolution of what I'll boldly call my art. Not my hobby. It is my art.

That's my story and I'm sticking with it.

Phlumpyschlumpy.

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...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
