Flim-flam

Just woke up from a nap. Yep, at 10:45 am.

I was awake again at 3:30. Praying for Africa, although I'll admit, this morning my prayers were a little more delirious as I drifted in and out of consciousness. I must have fallen back asleep fairly quickly, but then was awakened by S. coming in my room to tell me that Gracie's tummy was making funny noises.

So up at 5:30 to start the day. I'm hoping the funny noises coming from the dog were just a function of her dinner last night. We ran out of dog food yesterday and I had to feed her a concoction from the fridge instead of her normal kibble.

UPS tells me the food will come today. Silly high maintenance dog. You think gas is expensive? You should try buying a bag of her food. Geez.

Asia and I have been enjoying evening walks after dinner lately. The kids are now old enough to be left alone for periods of time and we're loving the chance to connect each evening and give the dog some exercise. It's really lovely. Of course it doesn't hurt that every yard in our neighborhood is coming alive with color and everything is so beautiful right now. But we're able to go watch the sunset too, which I love.

I made it to the post office yesterday. I don't know why I am so anti-post-office. The man who usually helps me there is really friendly. It's right in my neighborhood. It's never particularly expensive. But in my mind, going to the post office ranks up there with having a colonoscopy. (Okay, I've never had one, Noseys, but I've heard...) Anyway - I went yesterday and got two way overdue packages sent. Good for me. I felt like the whole day was a screaming success just because I tackled the mailing of the packages.

Hey, here's something.

You really should watch Oprah today. She's having the filmmakers who created Invisible Children on... Watch, 'kay?

Alrighty then.
I should do something.
Not sure what, but I'm fairly certain there's something.

Be blessed.

    Cath,
    You should talk to Mark about the children of Africa sometime. One of the highlights of all his years in over there was the orphanages. He spent quite a lot of time there.
    Did you know he had an little orphan baby named after him that was found on the steps of the orphanage I think. His pictures are so precious.

    It's the smell.

    In the post office. Seriously. I think that's it.

    Oh and also those ropes that they make you walk in even when there isn't a line.

    And that dingy, weird, grayish color.

    and the smell.


    I consider going to the P.O. and getting something mailed a *huge* triumph, not just in my day, but in my week!

    So Congratulations friend!

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.
