Rise and Shine

I've been awake since 3:45. Which would be really tragic on a normal morning, but since my alarm was already set for 4:45, I figured I might as well just get outa bed and leave a little farewell post for the thousands of you who stop here regularly. (HA!)

(Total sidenote: My Grandma Young always used to write Ha! in her letters whenever she wanted to indicate that she was happy about something, or that she was laughing at herself. I chose to take the smiley face route in my own letter writing, but that little handwritten Ha! is one of the things I miss most about my Grandma Young. That, and the fact that she actually wrote letters. Nobody writes letters anymore. End of sidenote.)

I am completely packed and ready to go. Las Vegas. I really never imagined myself going there. I'm not really one for casinos and smoking and staring blankly at a slot machine for hours on end. The only time I've gambled in my life is once in South Lake Tahoe with my friend Heather. I won $50. But that's neither here nor there. I'm leaving on a jet plane and will be in Vegas in roughly four hours.

(Sidenote number two: John Denver always looked sort of froggish to me.)

I went shopping with my friend Mindy,

(Sidenote number three: Mindy put a link to my blog in her post about our shopping trip on her blog. I don't have the energy to do that right now. It's four freaking fifty five in the morning. Sorry Mind.)

and managed to find a cute pair of pants and some fun new accessories for my trip. When I add those to the new jeans I found last week, I'm feeling pretty cute for this little jaunt. I'm really desperately boring in my normal day to day wardrobe, so having to look cute and put together four days in a row just about stretched my outfit-making abilities beyond my resources. I think I'll be alright with the new stuff, but it's a challenge to not be able to wear my jeans every day. I could never work in a corporate setting. Business attire makes me cranky.

Okay. I have to be at the airport in a half hour.

Gotta get dressed in my cute new clothes.

Here's hoping I can sleep on the plane.

Have a great week, everyone. I'm back late Thursday night.

See you on the flip side. (Whatever that means.)

    Everytime I include a :) in an e-mail or a blog, I always think of Grandma Young and her Ha! comments. Thanks for the sidenote.

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 ...

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.

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...
