An Uninspired list

1. Ice cream with chocolate sauce: Yesterday I had 2 bowls full, one right after the other. Today I only had one, since I ran out. It's possible that I shall grow quite large.

2.Yesterday I attacked my garage in a frenzy of righteous indignation. It is now so clean that the children have asked if they can sleep out there. I was tempted to say "Yes."

3. In the same swirl of homemaking activity, I painted my teenager's room a lovely grey color.

4. There is a growing pile of mismatched socks on the floor in my office. Perhaps there are some mates in there, I doubt any of us have looked closely enough to be sure. Something should be done about that.

5. My income doubled unexpectedly today. Praise God! I just knew God would do something to answer my prayers!

6. My face is breaking out. That observation, paired with my recent ice cream eating binge, should advise you of a melancholy week in my immediate future. Darn Eve.

7. House church begins in one hour and 10 minutes, and I have given exactly NO thought to what food I shall prepare to share. You can't rush these things.

8. I am reading Northanger Abbey, because Yvonne is. It is by Jane Austen, and it is wonderful. If I could go to bed and read for the next week, that would be so pleasant. Plus, my mood would be restrained to the four walls of my room. That would be best.

9. Today I am very happy being a single person, and I couldn't care less if I were never to marry again. I tell you that so you won't think I am always desperate and lonely. Sometimes I am desperate and un-lonely.

10.I am dying to get back to martial arts. There just something so wonderful about punching and kicking and weaponry that makes me deeply happy. I need to stop talking about getting back to martial arts, and just do it. Johanna, come move in with me and we'll go together, k?

Gees, slow down there Martha! You are making the rest of us in blog-land look whimpy!

Johanna is MINE! I've already claimed her to come live on the East Coast with me. She just hasn't taken the bait yet.

taken, on both accounts....the super power I need is being able to be in more than one place at a time...that way I can be with all the people that I love dearest and best in the world.

I do have to say though...a glass of wine could convince me...who's offering?!

Jo,
Who wants to dirty a glass? I'll give you a bottle and a straw....

Robin said...

your list seems fairly inspired to me, aside from the acne, I grimace for you over that one.
Beautiful song youve got serenading me just now....who is that?! Beautiful.

Robin, you can always scroll waaaaaay down to the bottom of my blog to see what singers are singing. You can switch around among my favorite songs by clicking on them, too.
