Ten


  1. Leaving the post office today I was behind a van for a business specializing in "Cooking Oil Filtration and Fryer Maintenance." Now, I can bet that none of you ever wanted to do that when you grew up...
  2. Lots of scrapbooking paper on ebay this week... clearing out is a good thing.
  3. Cracklin' Oat Bran is the best cereal ever. So yummy. Plus, I love anythin' that leaves of that final 'g'.
  4. Made an appointment today for my pre-cruise pedicure and gel tips for my nails. That'll be nice. I'm using a gift certificate for a local spa that Asia gave me last year for our anniversary... in June. Yea, I'm slow.
  5. School newspaper went out today. Now it's time to start the sixth grade yearbook. How do I end up doing all these things?
  6. The basketball hoop has been getting lots of love lately. Love spring weather and the sound of a ball bouncing outside my window.
  7. I really love Costco. For photo developing. And shredded cheese. And the big box of General Foods International French Vanilla. And grapes. And toilet paper and butter and eggs.
  8. Mending is one of those things that I think I don't want to do, but then when I get out the needle and thread and sit down to do it, I feel all Laura Ingalls Wilder-ish and I love it.
  9. My hair has gotten so long that today when I ran into an old friend from the ex-church, she didn't recognize me. Wow. It's only a couple of inches above my bra strap - that's really long for me... It hasn't been this long since we were engaged...
  10. Look what I found on my door today... sneaky S. went in her room and made if for me after school. Turns out her teacher explained the May Day Basket tradition in class today and she took it upon herself to make one all by herself. So sweet.

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.

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.
