Walking the dog in the late evening.
Frisbee golf.
Walking to the pool.
Kids sleeping in past 9:00.
Fans.

    I am wearing my flip flops right now. I live in them in fact. I even am not listening to my normal "no shoes in the house policy" and wearing them anyways... kinda having an attitude about it this year... I kinda like wearing them... life is too short.

    I am missing you too....

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.

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.

Thirty-eight

It's my birthday. So I'm making a list. Call them declarations. Or 'things I know for sure'. Some are decisions. Some are little lessons I've learned along the way. All are truer than true, on this, my thirty-eighth birthday. Forty isn't that old at all. Music is lovely, but silence is better. There is such a thing as the perfect childhood. Chicken and rice can be prepared a hundred different ways and still taste good. Tweezers are my friend. Dog drool is not the most disgusting thing on the planet. Levi's 515 Nouveau BootCut are the best jeans in the world. Having friends with gardens is a good thing. (Fresh produce without all the work...) I don't have to wear a wedding ring to be married. Old friendships are worth nurturing. $1 dollar a bottle Suave is just fine for my hair. One can never have too many candles. Slippers are warm. And comfy. And good. Creativity is soul food. A plate full of sauteed veggies can be more delicious than the best cake. D
