Winding down...

Summer is almost over. Hard to believe.

I've already lamented the passing of time this year - and what a strange summer it's been - but it doesn't make it any easier to see the days ticking away...

The kids are at my parents' house this week. I'll go pick them up on Friday - and then they'll have less than a week before school starts.

Seriously?

Wow.

So many fun things I'd like to do with them before they're gone again all day.

We'll have to make the most of our weekends in September and October - enjoying the outdoors while we can before the cold and the snow hit.

We spent the last week in Manzanita - our annual beach trip with my brother and his family.

My nephew proposed to his girlfriend while we were there.

Which makes me feel exceedingly old.

After all, he was just born.

I'm still walking. Passed the 229 days-in-a-row mark yesterday. Feels so good to have followed through on this commitment to myself.

Gracie is fully recovered from her health issues... she got to come along to the beach house with us and decided that she is now an outdoor/beach dog. She LOVED the beach. And she loved hiking. She was such a good traveller too... it was great to be able to bring her along.

Looking forward to a quick trip to Boise in a couple of weeks to go to Kelly's wedding reception. My dear friend tied the knot last Friday. So very, very happy for her. I've been praying for a healthy marriage for her for SO long - God is faithful and good.

Time for my walk. The sunset is officially out of the 8:00 hour now - can't believe how early it's getting dark already.

Happy Monday!

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...
