Ahhh - it's Friday.

  • I'm learning a bit of Krio (Seirra Leonean Creole)... Bololo = worms, titi = girl, bobo = boy, wo-wha = bad... we have the most interesting conversations in Krio. Ow di bohdi? It's a fun launguage to learn and speak...
  • We have an oral surgeon who has agreed to do surgery on Tejan's jaw. Have I mentioned his jaw problems here? I can't remember. Anyway - he needs surgery on his jaw and there is a very gracious doctor who is working very very hard to assemble a team of doctors here to perform the difficult procedure. It will be a much harder recovery than his leg surgery... and he will be here longer than originally planned. I'm good with it... it absolutely needs to be addressed. I just have to gear up for more time in the hospital. And pray for healing again... and strength.
  • I'm working today. Good to get a bit of time out of the house.
  • We have other Sierra Leoneans coming to town this weekend... Quami, who is a staff member at the children's home where Tejan lives, and two other children who are in the States for fundraising events... Eddie and Masa. Tejan is beside himself with excitement that they are coming. I can't wait to meet them. Apparently Quami has very big muscles. That's about all I know. He's speaking at our church on Sunday - sharing his survival story from the war.
  • I'm off to run a few errands before work... Tejan went to school today so I'm reveling in how quickly I can get in and out of the car to get things done! Praying he can make it until the end of the day without pain...

Happy Weekend, friends.

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. You read ...

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...

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.
