Blessed Thursday...

This is the first Thursday all month that I've been able to be HOME on my day off...

January 3rd I worked - coaching a leader up in Deer Park.
January 10th I worked again, coaching a leader in Coeur D'Alene. Oh - and I totaled my car.
January 17th I was home most of the day, but had a doctor's appointment and an errand to the grocery store... having to be at an appointment at a set time is the biggest day-off-killer...
January 24th I was back in Coeur D'Alene, getting my possessions out of my totaled car and then spent the whole afternoon at the car dealership shopping for a new car.
Today, January 31st, I am home. ALL DAY LONG. I'm not even putting on makeup, people.

I have quite the to-do list today... considering how busy I've been and the fact that the past two Mondays (also days I can be home getting things done) my kids have been home. I never accomplish much when they're around, for some reason.

Lots to try to catch up on.

One of the things I ended up doing, even though it wasn't on my list, was shoveling snow off my deck. I'm SO over winter this year... SO done with snow. We're supposed to be in the high 30s and low 40s over the weekend and it's supposed to be DRY... I'm hopeful that I might actually see some dry, snowless wood on the deck. I did see grass in the front yard yesterday after a particularly sunny patch... it's the little things this time of year... still waiting to see some of the bulbs I planted last fall make an appearance in my front flower beds.

The laundry has been humming all morning long, and the oven has cooked roasted Brussels sprouts, eggplant parmesan and brownies so far. I still plan to make biscuits and something for dinner... I haven't decided what yet...

Gracie loves when I'm home... she follows me from room to room, helping me taste the stuff I'm cooking... playing in the snow while I shoveled. We're good friends, she and I.

Music is always playing... candles are burning. Working full time has made my precious time alone at home a celebration...

Beloved Thursdays at home... I am recharged and rested here...

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...
