Waiting . . .

I've been waiting
Waiting to have something important to say...
Waiting for some inspiration to knock me down...
Waiting to be able to report some great bit of news...
hmmm...
I'm still waiting.

In that past few weeks I've:
cooked lots of yummy things,
gained a couple more pounds,
sent my girl back to school to finish her Senior year,
ignored the need to exercise,
read a very good book and a few great excerpts from other books,
been very sick with a cold that won't go away,
enjoyed 70-ish degree weather,
worried about the next step for our family,
had coffee with a good friend,
contemplated my value,
seen a couple of good movies,
had an unexpected wonderful lunch with my big brother,
marveled at the beauty around me,
wondered how people make it without God.

There's more, but for now, I believe that's enough.

Blessings, sweet friends!

Ugh!

My bathroom scale quit working properly (that's never a good sign...) a few weeks ago.

I kept thinking we would fix it, assuming it was just a battery issue.

Husband took it apart, called company, followed all manufacture instructions, and still no scale.

It sat on my piano bench for a couple more weeks until,

feeling my jeans getting a tiny bit tight, I declared...

"WE MUST GET ANOTHER SCALE!!"

And so he did.

I got on it.

Off

Back on

Off again

ugh

I'm so depressed.

Those of you living in skinny land,

the land where this isn't an issue,

the land where you can eat what you want and it doesn't add a pound...ever,

the land I have never had the pleasure of even visiting, much less living in,

those of you in this land, I know you don't understand.

But today, ugh.

So, I made some delicious butter lemon shortbread cookies.

Blessings. . .
