I should not think at 4:00 am

So I was up with the dog early this morning... I find myself thinking the strangest things that early in the morning... like:

  • Dogs don't have boogers.
  • I can't think of any animals who get boogers.
  • My cat in college was named Booger.
  • I get boogers.
  • Spokane is especially conducive to boogers. The air is very dry here.
  • Since man is made in God's image, God must get boogers.
  • But maybe not, since I'm sure the humidity in heaven is always regulated perfectly...

See how scary it is?

Asia is in Seattle this week - so while I have to step up in terms of responsibility, I'm rewarded with quiet evenings, full remote control possession and the luxury of the entire bed all to myself. I put my electric blanket on the bed before he left, so I'm not even cold without him. I do miss him though. The older I get the more I need his calming steadiness and friendship. He truly is my best friend and I'll be glad when he's home again. But until then - I'm reveling in a bit of freedom.

Happy Tuesday everyone!

    What the heck are you doing up at 4:00 in the morning? YIKES! I've been known to go to bed at 4:00 in the morning, but it is a rare occasion that I get up that early. Boogers: we call the goop that accumulates in the eye area Eye Boogers. Now that is gross!

    Kelly - when the dog moans in the night, I have to get up to take her out... she might still pee in her crate if I don't... this morning she moaned at 3:45.

    I'm beginning to understand what you mean about Buddy being so vocal - Gracie moans and squeeks and whimpers all the time. She's so cute... are you suggesting that it might start to drive me crazy?

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...
