A Sweet Surprise

November 23rd, 2008

Mike and I had a date night in Orlando Friday night and had the best time. Mike’s brother recommended that we eat at Cafe Tu Tu Tango, and it was fabulous. We stayed overnight and did some shopping (got a LUSH bonus gift and Harry and David pears!). It was a lovely, much-needed time.

When we arrived home and I checked here, I found a great surprise. DysFUNctional Mom gave me an award! How groovy is that? A loyal friend award is about as good as it gets in my opinion.

Edited… oh, goodness! Corinne said nice things about me over on her blog, In the Mirror! It’s nice things about Chel week! Ya’ll are so sweet to me.

Odds and ends… or killing time till I can go to bed

June 12th, 2008

Here are a few random things… I’m way too tired to write much. We’re all playing Wii, and I’m essentially waiting for it to get dark enough to send Eliza to bed.

** It’s been a long and tiring week at work, but I feel really good about the work I’ve done. It feels like I’m doing so much better, like I understand things so much better. Of course, I worry that I’m wrong & just misguided. But I find that people ask me questions as if they assume I’ll know the answer. That’s such a big compliment to me, and yet, I worry these people are falsely placing their trust in me. I have to meet with my supervisor tomorrow to discuss all of my claims that I can’t figure out what to do with or have messed up or both. That’ll bring me back to reality, I’m sure. But maybe, just maybe, I really am getting better. Wouldn’t that be cool?

** I’m now loving So You Wanna Be an Old Supermodel on TVLand. I think it’s got a classier name, but come on, that’s what it is. Mike said last night that the women on it are meaner the the women on other reality shows… they don’t seem to bond like they do on Idol or Project Runway. Well, honey, these women are old. They don’t have time to bond. This is their last shot at this thing. They’ve got friends at home. They want to win. I think it should tide me over till Project Runway comes back next month.

** Griff watches too much tv. I know because I love tv. I’m so excited about the summer shows, I can hardly stand it.

** I’ve been praying. I know that if you haven’t been reading my blog for long, that probably sounds odd. But for those of you who’ve been with me through this journey of moving and being angry at God and then thinking God was angry with me and then being a bit ambivalent, well, it’s a good thing to be praying and feeling that warmth and connection that comes from that.

** There was super response to my Swap Me, Sell Me, Chai Me. I have a couple pieces left if anyone didn’t play the first time and wants to jump in now.

Now, I’m thinking I’ll go slather my LUSH Sacred Truth on my face and try to scare Eliza into bed. If it doesn’t work, I’ll at least have smooth skin.
