For Old Times Sake {Day 3}

Some stream of consciousness goodness for your reading pleasure....

• Or maybe instead of bringing you pleasure it will make you think--wow, this girl is slightly wacky
• But that's ok with me, b/c I like being wacky
• My Mom is pretty wacky--and I love that about her. And I love that I'm becoming more like her as I age
• Speaking of my Mom, her cancer levels are going to be tested again tomorrow. I always feel like I'm holding my breath all day until she calls with the results. Will it be good? Will it be bad? Will it shatter my world? Will we go to bed rejoicing?
• I am really grateful for my family
• My parents celebrated 35 years of marriage on Monday. At dinner my Dad prayed and thanked God that He had continued to spare Mom's life...talk about being on the verge of the ugly cry
• I have been feeling very introspective and contemplative lately
• I would always prefer to listen rather than to speak
• Sometimes I feel like introverts like me are a very misunderstood breed of human
• But of course, instead of standing up for ourselves, we would probably rather take it to heart & ponder it...hmmm....vicious cycle
• How on earth do you spell vicious? viscious? huh?
• My Dad bought me a box of chocolates from Germany on his most recent business trip. They are hiding in a very obscure place in my refrigerator where no one will ever find them
• Except me
• I have found them 3 times today
• And they were super delicious
• Why am I choosing to write words like vicious and delicious? I don't do well with iou type words
• My baby girl is so not a baby anymore...she seems like such a grown up lady these days
• I never want her to lose her spark--her love for life--her joy
• Middle School, please don't destroy my daughter. And please stay away for a very long long time
• I want to go camping
• In the winter
• Florida summers can be likened to living in steamy hot pea soup while a hair dryer pointed straight at you blows hot air on you. And misquitos buzz all around, sucking your very blood. And then it rains in the afternoon and makes your hair all frizzy.
• Want to come visit?
• Winter clothes are so much more lovely than summer clothes
• I hope to live overseas one day
• I dream about it every day
• Jane & Ava played together for the first time today...granted, "playing together" was interpretted by them as chasing each other around the house & screaming as loud as they could....but still, they were doing it together & they were loving it. So I spent my afternoon wearing earplugs
• Just kidding of course
• Someone should make Mommy earplugs--the only noise that breaks the barrier is a cry for help
• Chocolate is way better than vegetables
• We scheduled Jane's surgery. It is going to be way more invasive than we had hoped
• I'm thankful that I know the Great Physician personally
• Grace gets sweeter every day, don't you think?
• I have the greatest blog readers/commenters in the whole world. Ya'll seriously blessed the socks off of me today. Thank you for loving me, supporting me, praying for me, reminding me of truth, empathizing with me, and encouraging me. Today was such a better day, and I owe SO MUCH OF THAT to you!
• The End

• Bueons Noches Senoras

• Oops...another iou word
