Twitterpated

Yes, Spring is in the air.

I had the following conversation with K. at the breakfast table not more than 5 minutes ago.

Me: "You're looking particularly handsome today, son." (He really was, and I try to notice these things.)

K: "Hmmm."

Me: "Any reason?"

K: "Well, Matt asked Chabeli if she wanted to go out with me yesterday."

Me: Raised eyebrows...

K: "Just like, to hang out with me at recess."

Me: "And you call that 'going out?'"

K: "Yeah, but she said no, 'cause she's still getting over someone."


FIFTH GRADERS, FOLKS.

Of course, in fifth grade, I was 'going' with Kurt Englund. And that meant we never hung out at recess, but rather, stood around talking to our friends about who we were going with. Heck, I don't think we even spoke to each other. I do remember feeling particularly heartbroken when he broke up with me.

And so goes the circle of life.

Twitterpated, indeed.

    Oh my gosh. Your son is so open and forthright with you about girls... we have girls "stalking" Jared (walking by the house looking) - but he gives no indication that he knows they are alive... he does msn a few though, but claims he has never spoken to them in school. He is going to the spring dance tonight with his buddies though - and refuses to say whether he will dance or not...it is his first dance and he is so cryptic - I can't wait for Kez to get to this stage...she will rattle on and on - a mother's dream. Hey, don't you think it is funny that I call girls stalkers when we was the stalkers, but it was just liking someone....funny days.

    That's awesome that he will just tell you what's happening like that. Mine is about to turn 14 (ugh-how old am I??) and he will tell me, but it takes a little prodding.

    Our only stalker just moved a couple of weeks ago so it may be a slow summer...*LOL*...not that I'm complaining.

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.
