1000.

Amazingly, this is my 1000th post on thoughts from the deep recesses...

I can hardly believe I've done anything 1000 times... but especially this silly little blog.

I started this blog in March of 2005 - very reluctantly. I wasn't sure what I would ever post about... or even why I would bother... but I did it.

I only wrote two posts a month for the first two months... and then slowly my posts picked up speed.

Certainly, my posting has ebbed and flowed over the years.

Facebook gives blogging a run for it's money - and often things that I may have written about here became status updates instead... I prefer blog posts but realistically, find time for Facebook much more easily than I find time for blogging.

So there have been months when the blog has been neglected.

But it's still a big part of how I record life.

To keep with tradition, I'm going to do a Tuesday Ten of some of my favorite random blog posts over the years...
  1. Letter to my 16 year-old-self
  2. Growing Pains
  3. The Mystery Underwear
  4. Building Alters
  5. Thirty-Seven
  6. Here's What I Think
  7. Africa
  8. My Son
  9. A Favorite Flashback Friday
  10. Observations
And that only takes us to 2007...

And that's why I like blogging.

Thanks for sharing the journey with me.

    I can't believe I have been reading your blog for at least half of that 1000! :) And I agree with you, my blog has taken a serious hit from Facebook - just not enough time to do both! I have been getting "called out" though so I need to get back on the horse. I have enjoyed getting to "know" you on your blog, my west coast twin! :)

    I pretty much have been feeling the same way, Cathy. It's so easy to 'pop' into Facebook then commit to a half-hour it takes me to blog, etc. But, it's SO NICE to have the archives. Especially since I've pretty much retired from scrapbooking... glad to enjoy the journey with you (sort of). You're an inspiration to me- to live and seek a godly life and raise my kids in the way of the Lord. So, thank you for being here!

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...
