Wicked

We saw Wicked on Sunday. I have never been to a "grown-up" play before. I mean we've seen Dora, Sesame Street, and a few others. Let me just say is was awesome! Elphiba's voice is incredible. It was great to kinda of know the story line from The Wizard of Oz. Yet, this was like the untold, behind the scene, rest of the story. I would see it again and again. So entertaining!

Lazy Days of Summer

So here I am... looking at a ton of laundry, dishes, and toys all longing to be put away. Yet, here I am relaxing and blogging. Aw... I love summertime. Anyone else loving the fact the clock has slowed down???? Or is yours still racing ahead?

Two of my favorite things

My Scoomba. It preps washes and dries my kitchen floor in 45 min. All  this while I am doing laundry.

Our Wii. It is just too much fun.  I have never really been into video games, but the interactive part is a blast.  Come play with us anytime!!!

Dr. Pepper everywhere

So here is the scene.... I pull into the driveway talking on my cell phone to my new friend Amy. I had just spent the day shopping at Sam's club , Costco, Winco and any other place that has food and ends in co. I unbuckled my troops and open up the hatch back. The 24 pack of Dr. Pepper rolls out. The box busts open and cans fly everywhere. I tell Amy I have to go. I start chasing cans in the street during rush hour. Will's teacher drives by and honks. Will is on the grass trying to catch the fountains of sugary goodness in his mouth. Most of it was just in his hair. Just as I get the last of it cleaned up. Bill pulls in. Seriously, where are the hidden cameras? You just have to laugh!!!

Bill moved

Bill has left typepad. Some of you have asked . He is now at www.deanzadesign.info Enjoy!

More deep thoughts

Ok so I like being a mile wide. I love going to the grocery store and seeing random people I know. I love going in church and seeing so many familiar faces. I just don't want to be surface with everyone. I just would love to have some deeper relationships right now.

Here I am again....

I found this post I did in October. Funny I find myself feeling the same exact way today. In relationships that are and inch deep and a mile wide (expression borrowed from Tammy). Old habits are hard to break. I pray that this October I will feel like I have moved past this season of my life. By the way I have no idea why this is all in bold type.

Spent

Tonight
as I sit down to read others blogs, I'm drained. I feel empty as though
I have poured out all that I have. Don't get me wrong I love spending
time with my family and friends. Anyone who somewhat knows me knows
that I am an extrovert. Strangely and conveniently I married an
introvert. I have never really understood the desire to get away by
myself to be energized. However, tonight that is what I am craving. No
more appointments, no more parties, no more meetings... Nah, that is
who I am. The minute they all ended I would make up a reason to have a
party. Lets see anyone available for a Groundhogs Day party? Just
kidding. I really feel like I have been so consumed by "groups" of
people and I'd love some one on one time. Another feeling that is new
to me.  I have always found safety in numbers. You don't have to be
deep or real in a group. As of the last few years I have learned that
it is a nice thing for a few people to know you well. Also, I  have
learned that when I have not taken time out of this maddening schedule
to have some serious one on one time with the Lord I remained drained.
So hear I am drained and spent and now that I have shared with all of
you that I know what to do to make it better...here I am... looking
into all of your lives via the blog.
