Time Flies

I noticed on my sister's blog yesterday that my blog status had jumped to TWO MONTHS since my last post. TWO MONTHS!! I don't know where all my time goes. I compose posts in my head almost every day. I take pictures for the purpose of posting them to my blog. And yet- TWO MONTHS have gone by since I actually posted! And that post was a catch up for the 55 days it had been since I posted before that!

Well- Jill is right. It is not easy to write a massive catch-up post and I should figure out how to make this more of a daily activity than a quarterly one! I hope it will help that my kids are now in school and we are finally feeling like a routine is in place. I also have to let go of my perfectionist tendencies which are ultimately disabling and just write something. So, my goal is to try and blog for 10 days in a row. I think I can... I think I can...

We'll start off easy.
Today I am Thankful for:

  • my dad's improved health
  • a clean house
  • Michelle's lingering perfume (how I'll miss her when she leaves for Paris on Monday!!)
  • dishes from a GREAT dinner with my book club friends
  • limes
  • Norah Jones on my i-pod while I fold 10 clean loads of laundry (yes- TEN!)
  • public school
  • that Kelly is accessible at work to answer math problems
  • SUPERAngie's blog about her Mt. Rainier climb- a piece of home, beautiful pictures, a good reminder to enjoy the journey and that we can do hard things (I hope it's okay that I stole one of your pictures for my post Angie!)

Aw, Jenn. Good things to be happy about. I think if I had to choose 5 today, they would be:

Hats, preschool, McDonalds, the Internet, and ibuprofen.

Not necessarily in that order...

You can totally handle blogging daily for 10 days! It's so much easier to do a little at a time rather than huge, catch-up posts.

My car smells like Michelle's perfume today too.

I agree that it's easier to do a little at a time than big catch-up posts. Still... sometimes that's hard, too.

I feel badly that we left you with so many dishes to do, but what a fabulous dinner it was!

I had no idea my perfume was such a lingering type -- and I only put on the lotion yesterday! I fear Jill is not feeling grateful for that in her car.
