Random blatherings on a sunny Saturday.

  • I've just hardly been on the computer at all lately. And so I haven't been blogging. Have you noticed? Do you miss me?
  • Even when I do have computer time, I can't seem to think of a thing to say.
  • The weather has been so nice. I got my whole back flower bed weeded and planted today with the sweetest snapdragons and zinnias. It's just lovely. And it makes me want to be outside even more, just so I can admire my handiwork in the garden.
  • I read a quote the other day from a college notebook I found in the basement... I can't stop thinking about it. It said: "We are what we think others think we are." What do you think?
  • Our dear friend Jay is back from spending 8 months in France and came over for dinner tonight. We BBQ'd and ate outside. He has the most horrible beard that he grew the entire time he was gone. It nearly reaches the floor. He's too young to know about ZZ Top, but that's who he reminds me of. He's downstairs with the kids playing on the Wii. So good to have him back.
  • I think I'm going to go outside and take the dog for a walk. I'm just so happy to have warm weather. It makes me a little silly.
  • Hope you're all having a lovely weekend!

    My children know ZZ Top, unfortunately. We listen to 'classic rock' sometimes because of their love for guitar and bass. You can't imagine the songs and bands they appreciate.

    Loving summer, too.
    I do miss your blogging. I still check you every day....

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 ...

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.

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...
