T-T-T-T-T-Tuesday Ten

  1. I woke up this morning with a headache, which seems like the perfect excuse to not take the tree down after all, and instead, sit on my rear watching movies all day. However, I have work to do. Class samples that just must get done. And Asia is complaining about the Christmas decor... he's not a big fan of Christmas and he's more than ready to pack it all up. (or rather, have me pack it all up so he doesn't have to look at it anymore.)
  2. I have to go to the music store to pick up K.'s trombone before his band class today, so he can actually play it. He broke the trombone the last week of school and it's been in the shop being repaired.
  3. I should go to the bank and deposit my paycheck too, while I'm out and about.
  4. I (of course) have mountains of laundry to do.
  5. I'm drinking day-old coffee this morning. We made a pot yesterday that I never got around to drinking. So I'm reheating it in the microwave. Thank goodness I'm not a coffee snob, or I'd probably be grossed out by that.
  6. I just got a box from DHL that my brother sent of all the stuff we left at their house after Christmas. My coat, all of S's presents, some lego pieces and slippers. Oh - and every white elephant gift that no one else wanted and apparently got left behind. Can you say Spam? And Furby? Thanks, guys. (No, really. Thanks for sending everything. Especially the Yumm sauce. YUM!)
  7. I ordered new dishes while we were in Eugene... I saw them at Kohl's and then couldn't get them because some evil woman got there five minutes before me and was buying practically everything they had in the store. So I ordered them online. Can't wait until they come... I've been looking for dishes since we finished the kitchen remodel and just hadn't found the perfect thing. These are the perfect thing. Love them.
  8. I'm going to CHA again this year... last year it was Vegas, this year it's in Anaheim, the end of the month... I can't believe it's almost time to go again. I feel much more prepared for it this year. I'm not so overwhelmed with excitement this year, having experienced the sheer amount of effort it takes to see everything and keep track of what we saw where... it's really a lot of work. I'm still excited, of course. But in a more realistic way.
  9. I think perhaps the mail isn't coming today... is that right? Seems like someone said it's a federal holiday since they're burying President Ford today. I hate no mail days. I love getting the mail.
  10. Happy Tuesday, friends.

    Great photos, Cathy! Mmmm, Laffy Taffy? I checked out the dishes, they are very pretty.
    Have fun at CHA, and be sure to give us a full report. Are you going to go to Disneyland while out?
    Don't tell anyone, but I have been known to drink day old coffee too. ;)

    Happy New Year, Cathy! I love getting the mail--especially 'cause it usually has packages of things I've ordered coming in it. Phooey to "no mail" days. Phooey, I say.

    Cute dishes.

    I regularly reheat the SAME CUP of tea about 3 times in a day before drinking it all. I like tea, really. I just forget about it fairly often.

    Hugs! Hope you are well, and the headache is gone!

    Oh man, I'm gonna have to find a way to meet you IRL if you're going to be less than two hours away from me. Coffee?

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

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...
