What I’m up to
October 4th, 2008
Sitting on our cushy, comfy, stained-beyond-cleaning couch with my feet up on the cedar chest that my mom bought before I was born. It’s our coffee table/foot rest now.
Smelling the rain outside.
Listening to the ceiling fans and the football game Troy is watching on TV.
Drinking nothing at the moment, which is unusual. I almost always have some kind of drink at hand.
Reading The Other Side of the Story by Marian Keyes. Re-reading it, actually. I read it before when it first came out, right after Annalie was born.
Loving that I live just five minutes away from a pottery-painting studio now, instead of 45 minutes away.
Dreading the day when Annalie says things like, “You’re a mean mommy, and I don’t like you anymore!” and really truly means them.
Eagerly anticipating our upcoming trip to Texas: seeing Sarah and Kristen and Bekah, the Sanders family, Troy’s mom and stepdad and assorted relatives, Angie & Chris, and maybe even Jamie.
Worrying about my cousins whose dad just died.
Wishing I didn’t live so far away from so many people I love. Also wishing for a sugar-and-cinnamon BeaverTail.
Praying as often as I can, though probably not as often as I should.
Grateful for my mom.
Sharing the couch with Troy.
I got this list from Karen. Feel free to copy.

Hey there —
I see you’re a fellow Marian Keyes fan (which is how I found your blog). If you have a moment, would you check out mine at http://www.sarahpekkanen.com
I’m a new novelist, with a book coming out in a little over a year, and I’m trying to get some feedback from fellow book lovers. If you sign up for my mailing list on my homepage, I’m giving away books and chocolates every month, and I’ll send you the first chapter as soon as it’s through the editing process.
Thanks!

Oh, Marian Keyes. Love, love, love.

Awww, I wish I could send you a fresh BeaverTail! I haven’t had one in over half a year and with this cold weather upon us, it’s the perfect time for one!
Your cousins are in my thoughts.

Just like Jummy, I wish I could bring you a Beavertail. Or at the very least have you over for one ;). I enjoyed the Marian Keyes book too, just read it a little while ago. And I also dread the day one of my kids says they don’t like me or worse don’t want to hang out with me anymore…
