finding time…

Man, sometimes it’s hard to post an entry! I’ve been constantly occupied (in a good way, mostly) for the past week straight. I’ve decided that even though I have to walk out the door in a minute, I’m just going to write what I can and come back to...

I’m outta here!

Jeff, baby, and I, are all off to the west side of the state to join the rest of his family in a cabin on the lake. It will be EXACTLY what I need. I can feel the breeze now… We’ll be back on Sunday, and I’ll probably want...

Stop me, won’t you, if you’ve heard this one before…

I never ended up replanting that bed the other day. It was too hot out. By the time evening hit and it was cool enough to go out there all I wanted to do was relax. Anyway, today is shaping up to be lovely, so there’s lots to do....

Baby-licious.

I’m feeling a little congesty… why do I have the sniffles in August? Other than feeling a little goo-filled, things are going well. Tonight I’m going out with my sister and friend for a baby-free “girl’s night” which, because we are poor, will consist of a light dinner out...

…and I will give you rest.

Last night I was so tired, and Jeff had obligation after obligation. I was fast asleep before he came home. Yesterday I felt so helpless when Jeff came home for 20 minutes only to leave again. Sometimes I feel… it’s hard to describe, really. It’s a mix of bitterness...

I’m definitely gonna learn to play banjo,

It’s been a long and good week. So much fun catching up with an old friend. We thought it was funny how incredibly pooped we were at the end of each day- especially because we’d planned to just relax and not overwhelm ourselves with plans. Regular ol’ life can...

I am dying of lust

I’m in love. I found my complete and absolute dream house and I MUST HAVE IT. I told Jeff this and he smiled and said “Ok, call them up and offer them $98 dollars cash.” Phooey. If it can just stay on the market just for a few more...

Happy Birthday Gretchen!

Lately I find myself trying to find the tiniest bit of time for myself. Time not doing dishes or trying to catch up on anything, just by myself and peaceful and quiet. That always seems to land at about 10:30 or 11 and night, and so I plop in...
