Kids came over yesterday for brunch. [That got my ass in gear! I have two weeks in front of me and I am determined to accomplish someThing. I really want to get back into sewing but am suffering from inertia. But must do projects (I have a million from which to choose: photo's into albums, sewing, genealogy reports, etc...) and Not spend my two weeks on this computer.... and, yet... Here am I !]
I made the kind of eggs that you scramble, put into a ziplock, and boil. I had dishes of sliced mushrooms, green onions, olives, chicken, artichoke hearts (the frozen kind, not the marinated), and diced tomatoes. YUMMEEEE. with cheese and sour cream to top them. Also served biscuits, waffles, fruit, and forgot to put the bacon in the microwave, although had it set up and ready to go... It was a lot of fun. The girls are so cute and enjoyable. Lots of laughter and conversation with them. I bought them a few new books from walmart and so had to read them again and again. Also bought (on sale, again at walmart) a Tigger game where you try to balance all these little toy-things on tigger and eventually he gets unbalanced and "jumps" and all the little things go flying and it startles you Every time he does it. They just Loved that game and laughed and laughed over it.

I'm always at the ready to play Dr. rae with my kids (as if they don't know how to Think as well I do), giving them medical advice like they aren't in their 30's. Do they ASK me, "Mom - What would You do you were me?" or "Mom - what's your opinion on this?" NO They Don't. ...and do I give them a Chance to even Ask? ohDearMe, NO I don't. It's a terrible habit and I've got to stop. Unsolicited Advice, my son calls it.

the old days
I chose pink because mom was so upset that we were having a wedding at all (we'd been living together, afterall). She was so strange about my whole wedding day, before and during. No excitement or interest or happiness. But I just Made her be the way I wanted (needed) her to be in my mind (I was highly capable of such thinking in those young days). Still, some of it I had to really step over to keep my fantasy in line.
I wonder why I look with such squintings at the past? I don't deal with the present or future that way. But the past... oh yeah. Negative, cynical conjurings.

I know it's mis-spelled...
but I Like that spelling.

ok! it's been several years since I've blogged. JournalKeeping is a better phrasing for me...
Where to start? Complaints? Failings? Achievements? Introspection? And what purpose this journalKeeping? Perhaps in beginning as a simple diary, the rest will happen in its own time, without this self-conscious hesitation.
Today, I write through the awkwardness of a New Date; a what-else-to-say visit with an antique auntie. Like when you know a Secret and find yourself thrown together with object of saidSecret... that sense of carefulness and distraction.
So..
Dear Diary - began my day at 2am. Fell asleep too early last night. 8:30-ish, or so. That's ok, though, as I enjoy the dark hours of early morning. Coffee, the paper's sudoku puzzle, updating my planner. Quiet things in the quiet hours. Also used that time to prepare the new dollies and toys I bought at walmart for the grGirls. They are growing up and our toys for them have become baby-ish. Am planning on a peaceful afternoon. Later I'll put together the eBay Listings for Chelle.
From my Planner:
1. Jack and Jill (and grGirls!!!) today for Brunch.
oops! xld - they got busy. Next week? Can't wait.
2. Xerox Moore Genealogy for onLine researcher.
Done! Will drop into tomorrow's mail
3. Laundry
(somehow I never get to write, "Done!" after that one.
4. Write up husband's billOfSale for Craigslist purchase
Done!
5. Photos and write-ups and postings on eBay!!!
alrightyThen - that's a start. In no time, this will flow.
fairey
