Miscellany






Just a few shots of things that made me happy this week...
  1. Chicken and broccoli for lunch. Almost every day this week I steamed a big ol' bowl of broccoli, then added some chicken with just a smidge of Yumm sauce. Perfect. I don't know why I crave sweets so much when this is so pickin' delicious.
  2. The Art Show at my kids' school this week. I was amongst about 25 parent/artists who displayed their wares. This event is one of the most well attended school events each year... I love that it's a priority for our school to expose kids to the arts. And it's really fun to see a year's worth of work all in one place.
  3. Gracie's wrinkles. Well, actually, all of her... I realized this week that she is a little tangible picture of God's presence... when I'm home, she follows me from room to room - just wanting to be with me. She always looks up at me with her adoring eyes - faithfully loving me whether I return her love or not. A clearer picture of God's faithfulness and unconditional love I've not seen for a long time.
  4. I finally found frames for these black and whites I had taken of the kids last fall... I LOVE them on the kitchen wall. They just make me happy.
  5. Asia got up this morning and finally organized the CDs that had yet to find a home in the new kitchen. We got rid of a whole box of stuff we never listen to and rediscovered some great old music we hadn't bothered to pull out in ages. Can you say MC Hammer? (Okay, I don't own an MC Hammer CD, but I do own a CD that he sings on. That was good for a nice long laugh and a little dancing. Asia just rolled his eyes. Be glad you weren't here.)

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. You read ...

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...

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.
