Sleep.....

Last night was the best night of sleep I've gotten in a week!  No nightmares, no tossing and turning, no raging thoughts...... just sweet sleep.  Ahhhh.............

Day Seven

Last day!  It's good to be done - although I've enjoyed all the comments!  Maybe I'll post more often just to get those.  It's like getting a letter in the mail....only different!

I love Sunday mornings.  Drinking coffee.  Quiet house.  It's chilly outside, so I'm wrapped in a blanket.  Neil and I are going to church later.  The rest of my day has no agenda, maybe dishes, maybe laundry, maybe painting my nails.

Question Of The Day:

Can you sum up your life in six words?

Here are some examples:
Honoring my past.  Building my future.
Tripped and fell.  Got back up.
I've tried. I'm tired. I'm resting.
God first, family second, job third.
I'd apologize, but I'm still sober.


Anyone want to give it a try?

Day Six

Quiet house
Empty rooms
I'm the only one home

Rainy day
Gray and cold
Calling for fire and warmth

Bridal Shower
Must get ready
And go out in this liquid blizzard

But all is well
Can't wait to go
Because real love is worth celebrating

     (And I get to show up in an amazing Infiniti G35
     Thanks to the great generosity of my favorite sister)

Day Five

Last night I slept with the cats.  Well, not literally.  Well, sometimes literally. 

So I'm housesitting.  And they have four cats.  "Let me say that again."  They have four cats.  (Now I sound like Senator Biden! hahahahhaha)

One jumped up on me in the middle of the night - scared me to death!  After putting it out and shutting the bedroom door, I don't think I slept really well for the rest of the night.  I kept dreaming weird things, and then horrible things, like both of my brothers died and we buried them in the pasture and had no memorial service.  It was awful!

I saw 3:00am.  I saw 4:05am.  I saw 4:30am.  I saw 4:45am when my alarm went off.  Then I fell asleep between 5-minute snoozes and finally got up at 5:15am!  Yuck!

The "fundamental difference" (another Biden quote!) between me and other people is that I don't like pets in the house!

So who watched the debate last night?  I did!

Picnic, Lightning

Day Four

I know I'm a day off, but....

Lately I've been back on my poetry kick!  I finally finished my last Billy Collins book, Picnic, Lightning.  I'll be forever grateful to April for introducing me to this poet!  He's amazing.  And every time I read his poems, he inspires me to write my own.  Right now they're all collected in a book titled "Embarrassingly Sappy Poetry".... not for the wide eyes of xanga!  But it has been fun to add some culture to my life - there's something so refined about saying that you write poetry.  : )

School is going well.  I was observed today - it took me by surprise, but I managed to come across looking professional and knowledgeable and got a really good review!  Yea!

Kristen and Mom are off to North Carolina for 5 days.  While they're gone, I get to drive Kristen's amazing car!  I'm way excited for the weekend!

More to come.... (I still have 3 more days of this torture!)
