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.

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...
