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?

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 ...

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.
