This is the scene on this chilly, damp, wintery Florida evening.. fat cold rain drops hitting our patio, the second CD to "In Your Honor" by the Foo (the awesome acoustic one) playing even though it is the 100th time heard in the past four years since it's release...maybe longer. It is hard finding the time to research new music lately, so i've been putting on the oldie but goodies..mostly mix CD's of downloads I leave in the Xterra, that big red gas guzzler I love. Now "Carolina" is playing, it is a wonderful song. This has been a strangely exhausting week- started out fun, visiting alot, finishing holiday food, etc, then turned into a four day marathon of P working "nights" which is really 11am - 10 pm. Not a very common occurance, thank goodness, but it's pretty much the whole day, and putting the kids to bed alone that gets very tiring for me. That said, no pity party here, no way. I have a very nice roof over my head, clean clothes, a dog, two boys, a neighbor's citrus tree, days mostly full of sun, and a free moment - right now- to write. So life is good.
How are you? Do you really care how many girlfriends Tiger has, or are we just bored with more serious issues this week? Do you hope that health care plan goes through all the way this year? Do you hope some long buried birth certificate saying Barack was born in Honduras shows up some time? Are you hating on the Palinator? Are you waiting to see if someone you love is coming in concert this year? Are you thinking about your New Year's resolutions yet?
Here are some of mine....yet to be completely reduced, deduced, analyzed, and narrowed down to one.
1. Stop wondering when I'll get to see Dave Grohl again in concert...Tampa is a great place Dave!
2. When Jude smiles at me, stop getting all choked up thinking about how cute he is, and how I never used to want children.
3. Try really really hard to show my family how much i care about them.
4. Keep losing weight- 31 lbs and counting since Jude's birth. AMEN
5. Take deep breaths and remind myself that I am still Jennifer, attitude queen, knower of all things, romantic dreamer, practical doer.
6. Fall back in love, with an old hobby, a goal, a plan.
7. Keep my hair red....go even redder.
8. Buy more anonymous people their groceries, and make their day.
9. no more fake nails, tips or purple polish,,, keep the blue for game days.
10. Plan that trip to Belgium and the one to Scotland...finish the living will for boys since i hate flying and am very superstitious about it.
