Ten on Tuesday

  1. Are you aware of StoryPeople? I absolutely adore Brian Andreas and his fun and funky art. I love his quirky way of looking at life. I pretty much want to marry him because I know he'd make me laugh every day. I get a daily 'Story of the Day' email - which is the only daily email I've ever kept for more than a week... some of my favorites lately?
    "Death take me now & spare me the pain, she said. It was difficult for me to get that excited. Get a grip, I said, it's only aerobics."
    "Do you ever listen to me? she said & I said I did but sometimes it took a couple of days to sort it out in a way that didn't make me want to murder her in her sleep."
  2. I know, I know. I already have a husband who makes me laugh every day.
  3. I.am.going.to.clean.my.closet.out.today. (I'll post pictures later to prove it!)
  4. I've decided the whole layering-three-shirts-at-once fashion thing that's happening right now is only for people who have perfectly flat tummies. I cannot pull it off, no matter how I try. All those layers just bunch up around the already bunchy section of my middle. Not.good.
  5. That said, my middle is much less bunchy lately, with all the water aerobics. Yay me!
  6. Had a lovely dinner last night at my boss Kathy's house. Delicious. It was our postponed Christmas dinner, since I was sick when we were supposed to have it in December. Love my job. And my co-workers. And my boss.

  10. Tuesday. I know. It's cheating. But it's time to get the kids up! Smooches, friends!

Look at this!

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.

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...
