Thursday of thoughts

I’ve spent the morning on the computer sending emails across the sea. What amazing times we live in. On my list of things to do today, are included, respond to emails and update my blog. So that is what I’m doing. Been at it three hours and am just now getting to the blog. Sheesh!

I’ve been gathering thoughts this week, and here they are:

How have I turned into a spread in the National Geographic? I mean really. Couldn’t I have turned into a spread in the swim suit edition of S.I.? If I have to have “turned” into something – really? This? In my early teens, perusing the Bothell Library, with nothing better to do than giggle at N.G. photos, I can remember really and truly thinking that these African women were very genetically different that us here in the U.S. I mean, did you see their snoobs? Guess what? Someone forgot to tell me that after you have and nurse four, nearly five kids – you get to look like they do. Thanks for nothing. At least they’re “tan.” And doesn’t everything look better in “tan”?

I recently noticed that the only place I've been getting my creative outlet from is during Sacrament Meeting, while coloring in Ruby’s coloring book. Really. I found myself going to my happy place right in the middle of a talk on Sunday, and I wasn’t even listening. I was enjoying watching the color of the crayon fill the page while I colored. Seriously. It made me feel dreamy. I love coloring. It’s very therapeutic. And I am very crazy.

Hmm. Let’s see. What’s next.

Two weeks until I am a single mother for two months and I’m not sure how I feel about that. Mostly sad, but also – who doesn’t love mac n cheese every night of the week? For the kids, that is. I’ll be getting take out. OR; eating ice cream. Mmmmm. Is it any wonder I’ve gained 900 pounds this pregnancy? Nope. No. Not really. I mean, I’ll make other things. Things like, say, top ramen, cold cereal, baloney and cheese. You name it and we’ll have it. (just kidding)

Well, I think three totally sarcastic remarks is enough for the day. How ‘bout you? And even fills you in on where my life has been lately. Very exciting, I know.
