I'm sorry for the giant font. I'm writing on my iPad at 2:30 am and can't quite get Weebly to cooperate.
Ten Things About Right Now 1. The series of snow days and delays have made building any momentum this semester difficult. The thought of another storm later this week is daunting. 2. I need to inject some excitement back into the end of TKAM, and can't quite come up with something. If anyone has suggestions, I would greatly appreciate them. 3. I'm dragging my husband to see Paul Simon and Sting. He thinks I'm crazy for planning a late event near spring-ahead day, but I'm excited to see two of my favorites. 4. Can't wait for yoga tomorrow. It's been way too long since I've taken a class and I feel so much better when I go. Why do I put off so many healthy things? 5. I just started reading The Backyard Parables. Thinking about the garden gives me hope for spring. 6. I can't remember eight days in a row when I've written for something other than work. Maybe this really will be a new habit. 7. While I'm sad other people are having difficulty commenting on posts, I'm relieved to hear I'm not the only one. I thought I was missing something. 8. I really need to get my annual Shamrock Shake and green carnations before they are gone for the year. 9. Last night's fish fry was excellent and my dad loved the tartar sauce. 10. I need to go back to sleep. I keep reminding myself that if my husband wasn't snoring, I'd be waking up to see if he was breathing. After 18 years, I should be used to his serenade. Bonus: How is it possible that I still feel like the same girl with too thick glasses, crazy fuzzy hair, who'd rather be reading? When do I stop writing best when I lie on my stomach or sitting cross legged in a chair? Shouldn't I feel more adult all the time by now? And write best sitting at a desk?
Yeah HUGE FONT!
Reads like I have a hearing problem.
:)
Just kidding -- it's fine.
So, you are going to Sting/Paul Simon? That will prob be a great show. I wonder if they are touring near me ....

Well...I connected with this post in so many ways
*up at 2:30 AM (happens at least once each week)
*snoring husband (35 years and you are right, if I don't hear him I worry)
*struggle with iPads and blogging (I use Blogsy and then upload)
*write at a desk? (That hurts my back...slumped on the couch)
***Love writing the comments (love and type of writing)
You should know by now... no one ever really grows up. You will always have thick glasses and fuzzy hair and be standing on your head reading. We have an image of ourselves and it will be there, I'm afraid, well into our "no glasses (cataracts removed), white fuzzy hair, hearing aided" (as your print suggests you are approaching) years! And if we can't physically lie on our stomach and read, we will be in our minds! Nope, you never grown up.... I hope this is what it is I'm going through anyway!
so many connections in your larger than life list! it's nice to know that as strangers we are part of this community of writers who feel the same and have similar experiences..especially this very long and very cold winter.
