For those of you who read this blog to actually hear about interesting topics, you may as well stop reading now. For those of you who read this blog to keep up with me and my family, proceed with caution. You might want to pop a few caffeine pills.
I am...
...sitting in a quiet house. Daryl is having a "sleepover" with his girls in the rec room. We all watched "Up" and ate too many cheezies, and now he is telling them stories (I think he's on the one about the time he ran his snowmobile into a tree).
...feeling better after a foggy, sluggish week. Surrounding my birthday I overdid the sugar a little and I think that may have been the cause. That and the fact that D was working lots and I didn't really take time to care for myself. This week I plan to do better.
...embarrassingly excited about the 25 skeins of wool I have coming in the mail.
...happy to have gone out for real Italian pizza with my man last night. I also bought a new pair of pants (yes, they were new) and had a beautiful cup of Tazo Calm tea at Starbucks. Was a nice evening.
...wondering what God is thinking. Without saying more than I can at this point in time, let's just say our plans for the next couple of years aren't looking quite as sure as we thought.
...happy that my house is decently clean. I think things are under control for the time being. Don't hold your breath.
...excited at the prospect of having friends over for a bonfire tomorrow.
...wondering what to get Emilie for her 3rd birthday. I hate useless trash. Any ideas?
...happy to hear that we get to go out for a (free) dinner with Daryl's work to one of my favourite restaurants (is it okay to call someplace favourite that you have only been to once?). The food is so good there that I don't even care who I might have to sit with and make conversation.
...so, so thankful for my weekly 6am prayer buddy.
...looking forward to a day of rest tomorrow!

I liked your update, and I didn't need caffeine. Thanks for the warning though!
i LOVED reading this. :)
Great update. However, you forgot "...so, so, so excited for my sister Kim and her husband Jose to come this week." :)
I was sorry when this post ended, as I always am with your posts. I wish I could give you good suggestion for Emilie's birthday. We had the same trouble with Nate's birthday this year. I think toys are being made cheaper and cheaper and sadly a 3 year doesn't enjoy things like magazine subscriptions or a day out with Mom.
I wish I could enjoy the bon fire with you! Sounds fun.
Great to hear from you again! We bought Ellie a tricycle for her 3rd birthday and life has never been the same since! She's almost 4 and a half now and she still rides that thing everywhere.
Good to hear words from you again! So happy for you that Kiki is coming to visit! = )
One idea - music making things? I got the girl I babysat a set with an xylophone (it was quiet which her mom appreciated) and some other stuff - I think it was Melissa and Doug, so it wasn't cheap trash. = ) Anyway, she LOVED it. Just a thought.
(My word verification is "porstang" - is that a cross between a porsche and a mustang?)
Nice to hear an update! i love reading your blog. I would like to hear the story of when Daryl ran his snowmachine into a tree.
What are you plans for all that wool?
Have a GREAT time with Kim and Jose!! And sorry...no ideas for a 3 year old...but they are easy to please at that age..i'm sure she'd be happy with just about anything.

Rachel, we actually have the same Melissa and Doug music set. It's great. Jenn, I'm planning to knit Christmas presents :-)
