I find my poor little brain jumping around from thought to thought with little discipline for staying with one for very long.
Again, it is the unsettled nature of my life right now.
Just for fun, I thought I would type out a few for you.
It might be boring,
or insightful.
But, hey no one is forcing you to be here reading...most of you come of your own free will.

I have three books on my dresser. One I have finished reading, one I have started reading, and the other I am rereading. I just can't put any of them away! Why you ask? It is a very silly reason and has nothing to do with my naturally cluttered nature.
They all are beautifully designed in a red and black and white theme. This is visual delicacy, and I like to continually savor it.

My daughter left her tiny little string of pearls in my room. It reminds me that one day she will be a lady and that I am her constant example in that.


How now brown cow. Uhhhh, yeah...not sure where that came from but I was thinking it.

I still have two loads of laundry left. Guess I should have started sooner or worked later yesterday. So, Tuesday is now laundry day too.

I lopped off the bottoms of the last batch of asparagus that I steamed for dinner guests the other day and put them in a baggie in the freezer. I wonder if I will make something wonderful with that before the move or if it will get wasted. Some asparagus soup would be lovely.

I used to think cell phones were asinine, now I feel a teensy bit lost without mine.

I don't appreciate it when I order a fine steak at a restaurant, ask for it to be cooked medium well only to have the waiter sneer at me. I like it how I like it, ya know!! I have found the guys that cook at the Japanese steak houses are the worst about this.

Coffee is my friend. I think all of my buddies understand this and won't be offended at the level to which I hold this liquid wonder. I cannot get by without my buddies though!!

My thirteen year old hugged me today before he left for school, right there in front of his friend. I am feeling kinda weepy about that.

My middle son hates to go to school. I genuinely wish I could rescue him from this daily perceived torture. I know though that sending him is a better gift than allowing him to stay home. Maybe one day he will understand that too.

Having mini cadbury eggs in a bowl on my desk is not wisdom at its finest. I even chose a bowl with a lid, but that hasn't swayed me. Chocolate is my friend too!

My husband ranks right up there with coffee and chocolate. He is my friend.

I shouldn't have packed the envelopes yet.

I have had to return to my blog to retrieve 2 recipes within the last week...yup, packed the cookbooks too!

There is this man (whom I adore) who acts as a father to me. He reads this blog because he loves me. It certainly isn't because it is interesting subject matter or relevant to his life. Can I just say that touches me to the core! Everyone needs a Dad like that.


I am feeling a bit melancholy, can you tell. I think the moving out of this house where all my babies started their lives thing is creeping up on me.

Is anyone still with me? It matters not...

Off to have a day filled with wonder!
