Ten on Tuesday.

  1. Spring has finally come to the inland northwest. We're supposed to be in the mid 80's by Friday. I can hardly wait to get out the capris.
  2. I had a nice mother's day - with brunch out at Madeline's with the family. Yummy food, great coffee and fun conversation... good stuff. Of course, I missed Tejan and wished for him to be there too... I expect I will miss him every mother's day. It would be hard not to.
  3. This week is crazy busy with so many school events happening. Track meets, walk-a-thons, PTG meetings... May is always such a crazy month. I don't mind it though... busy feels good right now.
  4. Crazy bird seems to be taking a little break from crashing into our window. I've only heard him two or three times in the last week.
  5. We took a nice long bike ride with another family over the weekend. We met the Holm family through Ethan's wrestling program - their son Eric and Ethan liked to wrestle each other at practice - turns out Olaf, the dad, is best friends with one of my classmates from high school, Andy Peitsche. They met in college. And Kyler and their oldest son, Andrew (named after Andy) have a class together at school (at a school with 500 kids in 7th grade.) Small world. Our families have oodles of fun together... of course, poor Savannah is left without a playmate, as happens so often for her. She's a good sport though, and doesn't seem to mind hanging out with the boys. (A lot like her mom that way...)
  6. I need a new power cord for my computer. I'm always having to wiggle this one to get it to work. Drives me crazy.
  7. I made the yummiest pork chops for dinner last night. Seriously yummy. Even if you don't like pork chops much, you should try these. They're SO tender and flavorful.
  8. Went to Savannah's "Band and Strings Spectacular" at the Spokane Arena last week. 2200 5th and 6th graders playing together... so fun. She plays cello. See her there in her pretty pink easter dress? I think she was the prettiest 5th grade girl there...
  9. I'm having loads of fun at Kyler's track meets trying to get the perfect high jumping action shots...
  10. Can anyone tell me why the polish on both of my fourth toes is gone? So weird.


Happy Tuesday, friends. Smooch you all.

    Are those Fred Flintstone feet or what?

    Great list, Cath! Hey, just a head's up, it might not be the power cord. It might be internal (the little metal thing in the computer). Mine has gone out twice and had to be fixed. So, you might want to check it out before you buy the cord.

    Savannah looks soooo pretty in that picture!!

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.

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...
