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....

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...
