Thursday Thoughts

  • I colored my hair this morning. I always do it myself, because I'm cheap. I paid one time to get my hair colored, and paying $60 for something I can do with a $5 box of Nice and Easy just was too painful. Now all my grey hairs are sufficiently covered for another 8 weeks. YAY!
  • I've sent K. something in the mail every day this week. Yesterday was the last day to do that, since he comes home Saturday morning and I doubt anything sent today would get there in time. He even got a postcard from Gracie... I remember mail call at camp as a kid - it's SO fun to get mail.
  • DEEP cleaned my bedroom yesterday. Can you say dust bunnies? I cannot find the hose attachments for my vacuum cleaner, so it was exceedingly difficult to reach all the dust bunnies... I got them all though. And I dusted. And I wiped down the wall and got rid of old shoes and rearranged and reorganized. It's just lovley in there. Makes me want to paint... it's in desperate need of new paint...
  • Asia got home last night - and is home now for 10 days. I sure love him a lot.
  • I am positively addicted to Sonic's Diet Cherry Limeade. I can't stop thinking about it.
  • I'm getting SO excited for fall. I have lots of fall decorations that go so beautifully in my living room... I get them out on the first day of school. I can't wait!
  • Benji won! I don't vote for "So You Think You Can Dance" like I do for Idol, but I would have been very upset if he hadn't won. I just want to take that adorable dancing fool of a boy and adopt him. What a cutie!
  • I really want to order these. Which sets, you ask? Build-a-flower, Doodlebloom, Doodle Staples, Doodle Tagged, Journaling Stamp and Swirls 2. That would total $107.94, so I should probably pare that list down a tad. But how?
  • We went letterboxing with my girlfriend Mindy and her kids yesterday. I love letterboxing. It's free, it gets us out exploring in our city, and what's more fun than a treasure hunt? The kids and I really need to plant a box of our own before the summer's over.
  • WARNING: If you click on the link to Mindy's blog, you should know she has nudity on it. You've been warned. BWAHAAHAAA! (Love ya, Min!)
  • My oldest and dearest friend, Corey, is living my dream by owning and operating a bed and breakfast... Asia and I would LOVE to do this someday. If you're ever going to Banff, Alberta, Canada, be sure to look them up. I hope we can go visit them someday soon... it's been way too long.
  • Ordered some stuff from Amazon this morning. I got a free gift certificate for some DSL upgrade Asia did... not sure why we got it, but I'm not one to look a gift horse in the mouth. Got two new books and a CD. I love Amazon.
  • I get to see K. in 48 hours. I can't wait to hear about his week.

Happy Thursday, friends.

Life is good, eh?

    Guess what? Camp Coundelors appreciate mail calls SO very much, too. They sued too make us sing for packages. You're such a very thoughful mama.

    OOps. That's supposed to be counselors. And used to, not sued. I can spell, Cath, I just can't type. Or edit very well, apparently.

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...
