Monday

Love my quiet Monday mornings... this weekend really did a number on the house - with laundry piled high and schtuff everywhere - I'm taking the morning to get things picked up and the laundry going. Love this process. It feels so good to get cleaned up and organized after the tornado weekends bring. I'm putting on my new Norah Jones CD and working my way around the house... good stuff.

Asia is home this week. He was gone last week, and with my flying over to Portland on Wednesday for Charlie's funeral (and having to make sure the dog and kids were cared for in my absence) I felt like my whole week was one big long stressful exhausting day. I didn't sleep well. And I was fighting a cold. So it's good he's home this week. I finally feel rested, after taking a three hour nap on Saturday... amazing how having another adult in the house helps me relax. Especially when it's my best friend. So glad I'm blessed with him in my life.

E. is wrestling this spring - he had his first meet on Saturday. I couldn't be there because I had to work - but he won one match, tied one, and lost one. A decent start, I thought. He looks hilarious in his little singlet. I've never been a huge wrestling fan, but this is a great program, sponsered by the high school he will attend someday - so he's a little Lewis & Clark Tiger ... too cute. A friend of ours coaches at the high school and is there when E. practices, so that's fun too.

I feel peaceful this morning. Ready for the week ahead. Grateful for my home. And my family. And God.

Happy Monday, friends. Have a wonderful day.

    Cathy....I can't BELIEVE there is no photo of E in his wrestling outfit on your blog! Photos!!

    And I totally agree...naps are wonderful things.

    I have the new Norah CD, too! What do you think? It's a little dark, I thought. It's growing on me. I love her voice...that's totally how I sound in the shower! Have you noticed the similarities?
    Happy Monday, friend

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.

30,000? For real?

So, if you scroll down to the bottom of this here blog, you'll see that I'm probably just a day or two from reaching 30,000 hits. That's just freaky. And in just under 2 years. (I didn't add the counter until after I'd been blogging for several months...) So in honor of almost reaching that milestone, this weeks 'getting to know you Wednesday' question is this: What would you do if you won $30,000? I like this question, because it's not an overwhelming number, and therefore not brain-freeze inducing. It's big enough to be able to accomplish some nice little projects around the house, but not so large that you have to worry about your third cousins from the Ozarks showing up on your doorstep looking for cash so they can put veneers on their teeth. Answer my question this week and you'll be entered in a drawing for 30 special little trinkets in a lovely little goody box. (And when I say trinkets, I mean trinkets. We're talking 30 little lovelie

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.
