thought i'd share some odds and ends since no legitimate post has made it from my brain to the computer in the past few weeks
{yes, i'm still here...just quiet}
A weird thing i do...
In the winter I often take 2 long showers a day. One to get myself ready for the day (morning) and one to warm my cold bones (evening). I know what all the experts say about drying out my skin and wreaking havoc on my hair, but I don't care. In the winter, a hot shower is the only thing that can make me warm. Sometimes i sleep with a winter cap on because i get so cold (and my side of the bed is under a window).
Right now I am listening to
David Carnes. Album is titled "Journey: a praise offering". Listed as "new age" on iTunes.
Today at church I
Hugged all my girlfriends I only see once a week. Read the book of James.
Best thing i've eaten this week was a
Piece of Flat Apple Pie I made (Pioneer Woman Cooks). It was my dinner.
Biggest laugh of the week
The scene in Modern Family where Clare and Phil engage in a mock debate in the living room.
No way! moment
The boyfriend watch i bought today IS an indiglo (it lights up at the touch of a button which i really wanted but couldn't find). I found out it "lit up" while setting it. It really is the little things that bring me joy.
Looking forward to
Visiting our daughter at college on Saturday.

Dreading
Getting ready for bed. The washing of the face, brushing and flossing of the teeth, the vitamin-taking. Sometimes I just want to fall into bed.
Jumping for Joy

Whoop-whoop!
