Te-te-te-ten!

  1. I just finished putting Sweet and Sour Pot Roast in the crock pot. Can't wait until I can begin to smell it - this one's a keeper. SO yummy.
  2. Barely slept a wink last night. Finally got up at 2:30 to take some MidNite. Didn't help a bit. Got up around 4:00 and watched an old DVR'd episode of Grey's Anatomy... fell asleep on the couch for a bit, but I'm positively rummy today. The kids got themselves off to school while I laid on the couch trying to stay awake. Good kids.
  3. Kyler got his hair cut over the weekend. Shorter than it's been in years. Somehow, less hair makes his head look bigger. Explain that one...
  4. Bible study tomorrow. I've been meeting since last fall with a sweet group of ladies from church every two weeks. We're the 'old' ladies at church, meaning we're past 30. SO many young people go to our church, we all felt the need to have a group we could meet with that would understand our unique set of struggles and triumphs we share at this age. It certainly fills a void for me - and I'm enjoying getting to know them all a little better.
  5. Still walking. I've discovered the key to accomplishing a daily goal like this for me: a journal. I bought a silly little pink daily calendar - like one you would keep in your purse - and every day I write when and where I walked. And here's the deal: I really don't want a blank day in that little book. So I've walked EVERY day.
  6. I saw Slumdog Millionaire while I was in Anaheim with Kathy. I'd never heard of it - but she really wanted to see it so we went one evening after the show closed. WOW! What a great movie. I hate to jump on movie bandwagons, but this one's SO good. You simply must go see it if you haven't.
  7. Gracie's had a little hitch in her getalong the last week or so... if I take her for too long a walk, she limps afterwards... hoping she's not going to have hip problems often associated with larger dogs. We shall see. We're managing to keep it under control by limiting her exercise right now, but I'm concerned. She's only 3 1/2 years old... seems young to have to deal with something like that already.
  8. I'm REALLY not a fan of instant mashed potatoes, but I had some really good coupons and combined with a sale, got a bunch for some insanely cheap price - like twenty cents a box the other day. I picked up a couple boxes of Betty Crocker Instant Mashed Sweet Potatoes while I was at it... and oh my grief - I'm in love. I made a pouch for myself while the rest of the family was having regular (nasty) instant potatoes. They were SO good. I've got to check the nutritional label before I decide if I'm going to eat them as much as I want to, but sheesh, they're good.
  9. I'm reading The Mysterious Benedict Society - recommended by Kyler... it's a fun, no brainer, kid lit adventure book - good for my tired brain.
  10. Happy Tuesday friends - how are you? Not hearing from many of you lately...

    1. We call this Sauerbraten!
    2. I always pray for everyone I know at such times. Does not help with the sleep but is at least productive.
    3. Probably how vertical stripes makes one look slim where as horizontal, well, we will not go there...
    4. PTL
    5. Gas prices still high?
    6. ?????
    7. Dog? Same name as my grand-daughter and she is not the best walker either!
    8. I love the convenience of dehydrated potatoes. As long as you are not allergic to bismuth bi-sulphide - the preservative they use.
    9. Try Louis Lamour's, Silver Canyon. Good read!
    10. Always loved Roy and Dale singing to me every afternoon: Happy Trails to you, until we meet again....

    Boxed mashed potatoes? Really?

    Hi Cathy. I'd love to linger over coffee with you.

    I'm still here loving reading about your life. You are inspiring me to walk as well. I hit the big 4-0 in May so would like to be in better shape for then.
    Blessings, Leana

    Hey Cathy! Great to see ten today!!! As far as Garcie's limp - next time she is at the vet have them check her knee. Our boxer mix has started with a torn ACL...we have to limit her running, and sharp cornering that she does..no more chasing balls for our girl and she is only 4. According to our vet it is the most common surgery she does. We are hoping to avoid as long as possible! The vet told us to give her baby aspirin for the pain. Hope she is better soon!

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...
