Useless questions and answers for you to read.

Found this on my new friend Ronni's blog and thought it was a fun set of questions... you may not agree, but it's my blog.

1. IF YOU COULD BUILD A SECOND HOUSE ANYWHERE, WHERE WOULD IT BE? Manzanita, Oregon. We rent a beach house there every summer. I love the quaint atmosphere of this tiny coastal town and would love to spend weekends there regularly. Or even the whole summer... wouldn't that be wonderful?

2.. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ARTICLE OF CLOTHING? My Levi's and my slippers.

3. THE LAST CD YOU BOUGHT? I bought four new ones all at once recently. Sara Groves, Nicole Nordeman, Five for Fighting, and Ginny Owens.

4. WHAT TIME DO YOU WAKE UP IN THE MORNING? Generally around 6:30 or 7:00.

5. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE KITCHEN APPLIANCE? My new Jenn-Air refrigerator. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. The freezer on the bottom is the best thing in the world - and the french doors? So cool. I even love the handles. And the floating glass front that prohibits the accumulation of magnets... so wonderful!

6. IF YOU COULD PLAY AN INSTRUMENT, WHAT WOULD IT BE? I play piano and years ago could play clarinet, flute, and oboe. I would LOVE to learn how to play the guitar.

7. WHICH DO YOU PREFER, SPORTS CAR OR SUV? I love my SUV. Sports cars are too small.

8. DO YOU BELIEVE IN LIFE AFTER DEATH? Absolutely. And I can't wait to get there.

9. FAVORITE CHILDREN’S BOOK? The Monster at the End of This Book (I know, great literature...)

10. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SEASON? Spring. But fall runs a very close second.

11. WHAT’S IN THE TRUNK OF YOUR CAR? Nothing. I don't have a trunk.

12. WHICH DO YOU PREFER, SUSHI OR HAMBURGER? I've never had sushi. I don't really like hamburger, but will eat it.

13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE FLOWER? Tulips. Pink ones. I love how they curve over the side of a vase... so pretty.

14. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? Chocolate Chip Mint

15. POPCORN? Oh my goodness - I LOVE popcorn. I usually try to be good and have the 94% fat free, but I really love it popped in my WhirlyPop with lots of butter.

16. WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR? Green - all shades.

17. WHAT KIND OF CAR DO YOU DRIVE? 2003 Chevy Trailblazer EXT.

18. FAVORITE SANDWICH? A reuben with lots of sauce. But I also really love BLTs.

    Let's see: Reubens and tulips are also my favorites. You Carsons must have popcorn encoded into your DNA. And I would also build a second house at the beach. You already KNOW I'm learning guitar! Isn't it fun to find things in common? And with such fabulous people? =o) I hope you're having a great week, Cath.

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...

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...
