I've been tagged.

Before I address the tagging of the tag, I have a confession to make.
I just fed my dog a sweet potato off of my fork. And.then.proceeded.to.take.another.bite.off.said.fork.

I know - sick.

Okay. Onto the tag. My dear sweet friend Suzie tagged me. I'd link her, but she's password protected. I think she works for the government or something. No - but she is protected. Maybe she's in the witness protection program. Nah - that's not it either. She's really nice though. She has a lovely blog - it's where I'm involved in my circle journal. Anywho - she tagged me.

Now - onto the tag. Really, this time.

5 things:

in my fridge
1. a box of go-gurts for the kids' lunches. For some sick reason I think I'm giving them a healthy lunch if I throw in a tube of neon colored yogurt.
2. a few Mike's light hard lemonades
3. leftover meatloaf from dinner the other night. I know it's terribly out of fashion to like meatloaf, but I do. And I'm not going to apologize for it. Plus, I use my Grandma Young's recipe, and I feel uniquely tied to her when I make it.
4. a bottle of amoxicillian that K. had for strep throat that we never finished. Does anyone ever actually get all the way through the ten days of amoxicillian? I feel like this is one of my greatest failures as a parent. I have never made it through the full course of antibiotics with any of my kids. I get to day 8 or 9 and just give up.
5. a half eaten bag of broccoli from Costco. No matter how hard I try (and I try really hard) I cannot get through that bag before it goes bad.

in my closet
1. shoes - all over the floor, and an empty shoe rack.
2. lots of jeans. I wear jeans almost every day of my life.
3. a pair of hiking boots I bought in Montana. I wore them once, climbing a trail in Glacier Nat'l park, and haven't worn them since. My neice threw up that day. (that has nothing to do with the shoes, I just happened to remember.)
4. several things I haven't worn for well over a year. I really need to clean out the closet.
5. none of Asia's stuff (we got a closet divorce when we first bought this house. This closet just isn't big enough for the two of us.)

in my purse
1. a darling little pink wallet. Love my pink wallet.
2. three different types of mints.
3. a package of pin-backs I'm using in a class tomorrow.
4. my cell phone - ring tone set to "Dancing Queen"
5. six dollars and change

in my car
1. dog slobber all over the back window.
2. a small phone book - I've never needed it but I like knowing it's there.
3. a business card for the local tennis shop
4. CD's everywhere.
5. a notebook in the glove box where I've written "cheesy gordita crunch" on the first page because I can never remember the name of the thing I like to eat at Taco Bell.

on my TiVo
1. About 5 Oprahs. I don't watch them all, but I tape them so I can watch if the topic interests me. Lately I've been deleting most of them.
2. American Idol from Tuesday. It was so good, I couldn't bring myself to delete it yet.
3. What Not to Wear
4. Fiddler on the Roof - I wanted to watch this with the kids and we haven't had time to yet.
5. The Next Food Network Star. I somehow missed the beginning of this show and was able to tape all the episodes on Sunday. I've watched the first two and think now I'll just delete the middle three and watch the ending episodes.


And I'm tagging Stephanie, Kate, and Mindy.
Go to it, girls!

    Oh, I'm just catching up on my blog reading and saw Suzie's tag as well. Better do that tomorrow.

    Wasn't that AI so good? I just love those songs. I have a whole channel at pandora of those...it is wonderful!

  4. The day your niece threw up is the same day you wore your hiking boots. Such a lovely memory, Cathy...

Somebody got a new toy...

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...

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...
