Ten Today 'cause it's Tuesday

  1. Awake WAY too early this morning.
  2. Here's the deal with my hair. It's now long enough that I can feel it on my bare arms. It freaks me right out. I always think there's a spider on me or something. I'm not scared of spiders, but apparently I am scared of hair.
  3. It's been hot here again the last couple of days. Mid 90's. I'm not a fan of the 90's. Love the 80's.
  4. Speaking of the 80's, I'm heading home for my 20th class reunion this weekend. Of course, I wish I'd lost 10 pounds so I could be uber-fabulous, but all in all, I think I'm looking pretty good for 38. Still, I'm having lots of highschool-like anxieties about going alone. What if I'm still a wallflower at 38? Okay - I was never a wall-flower, but you know what I mean, right?
  5. My girlfriend Lisa had twins recently. I get to take her a meal tomorrow and see those sweet little babies. Can you even truly imagine what it must be like to take care of TWO newborns? Seriously. That's a lot of work. SO glad I'm not doing that.
  6. It's been hitting me lately what it might actually be like having Tejan here. I'm assuming he'll be in a cast after his surgery. I haven't dealt with a kid in a cast since Savannah was 18 months old. And hers was just a teeny tiny cast on a teeny tiny arm. His will be a whole big ol' leg. Things just may need to slow down a bit for us, I think. At least the getting in and out of the house routine... what have I gotten myself into?
  7. Have you seen the new KI Memories lace cardstock? Oh my grief. That's some scrapbooking love.
  8. Bought a panini press the other day. My favorite so far? French bread, caesar dressing, turkey, thin apple slices and feta cheese. Yum. I love panini.
  9. If you ever need to waste time on hilarious-blog-reading, move your mouse over to my blogroll and check out Pioneer Woman. Ree is one funny chick.
  10. Happy Tuesday, friends.

    Oh that is some yummy patterned paper indeed... and could you let me know how often you use the panini press? I've been thinking about buying one, too.

Phlumpyschlumpy.

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...

Missoula Children's Theater

Last week Savannah and Ethan were both cast in their school's Missoula Children's Theater production of Red Riding Hood. Savannah was cast as Mother Hood and the Grandmother, and Ethan was Robin Hood - the Hood family's cousin from England. After five days of intense rehearsing, (four and a half hours every day after school) they were ready for two shows on Saturday afternoon. It was so fun for them. And fun for me, as I was one of two parent volunteers with the privilege of being at every rehearsal. I come from my own childhood experience of many opportunities with theater and musicals, so watching them experience the thrill of performing was awesome. It was an amazing week. I'm so glad they had the chance to do it. I loved that instead of having to commit to weeks and weeks of rehearsals, they just had to do this one really intense week. A full scale musical production without a month of rehearsing and I didn't have to sew any costumes! That's my kind of pla...
