is it spring yet?
this is the part of winter that is my least favorite. not good, since technically winter began only days ago on december 21st. long way to go. i don't really have resolutions, per se, but i have "hope fors". yeah, that takes a lot of the pressure off. i won't share those, really, but here is what i have been up to.
1. usual mothering stuff.
2. playing freerice.com. colleen parish sent this little gem over the listserve and now i have a new sin to wrestle with! yay! but really, i have to set a time limit on this and i am pretty obsessed with how exciting it is to play. if you check it out, be sure to read the FAQ (that's "Frequently Asked Questions") to see how it all works. you can enhance your lexicon and feed the hungry all at once thanks to the huge capitalism machine blinking at the bottom of the screen!! whoo hoo!
3. starting training for my second half-marathon. such fun was that last one. i am actually doing a harder training program and am a bit worried about the time committment on this one, but we'll see. i really loved the half-marathon i suspect it will be my race of choice, but as i haven't yet tried the full, i can't say for sure.
4. really wanting to entreprenue. can you use the word in that fashion? i have two invention ideas, a green dry cleaners i want to start, and a book i want to finish writing. (easy to throw that out all casually, but really i have probably only written ten pages and as for my c0-author, well there is rumor of pages, but i've never actually seen these "pages" ;) ).
5. starting to wrestle with God on having a happy heart about this living away from my husband stuff. three months has seemed my fill, but isn't that the way it always is with us? "okay God i can do this suffering martyr stuff, but there is a cap on it, surely, right? this is how much i can take (__X___ amount of time) but then after that, i would really like my fat life back." please. that is totally how i am in my ugly heart, but don't worry God is truly the king of all things, and sanctifying that whiny moany stuff out? well, He has ways. usually they involve blowing your "time limit on suffering" out of the water. perspective is easily, yet dangerously avoided and then it comes and can be such a rude awakening.
next time i am going to post the sweetest, nastiest pictures i have ever seen. a couple of wade and his brother getting sicked out to pose for a xmas shot for their dad. it involves mustaches and secondhand sweaters and it is horren.
