Wow! I am such a slacker!
I haven't written a weekly gratitude update in 2 weeks! (Or is it 3?)...
This is how behind I am. I don't even know how long it's been. This being said, it in no way means that I am any less grateful. I've just been lazy and having a hard time getting all of my thoughts together.
I'm lost in one of the many moments in my life where my thoughts are so scrambled, roaming from one topic to the other with no common boundary between them.
I am Lorelai Gilmore.
Just to give you an idea, here is an actual rambling thought moment of Mary Will:
Now I'm thinking of monkey monkey underpants because I thought of Lorelai Gilmore, and now I'm wondering if I should use punctuation within the ramblings of this blurb. I'm thinking it doesn't really matter because my brain doesn't really speak in sentences, just long run-ons about what I need to be doing, or hope to accomplish today or this week or this month. We should really order our wedding album. It's been over 2 years and I'd like to have something concrete to show off because we love pictures so much. Oh my goodness, we have so many pictures. I should make albums of everything. Why are the cats meowing? It's only 9:30 and they don't get fed until 11...or is it 10? I forget since I'm not usually home during this time of day and Andrew takes care of them in the mornings. Awe. Andrew. He's so awesome. I love that he can now work from home and look after the pets. I wish I could work from home and write all day. I guess that's the goal in writing this book...of which I haven't really worked on in weeks. I should really be working on my book. I looked through several old writings of mine the other day and am currently trying to incorporate them somehow within the chapters of my memoir. Why do I smell cat pee? Did someone pee on the couch again? Mmmm. Muffins. I would love a cranberry orange muffin from Pannera (Does Panera have 2 'n's or 1?) and a pumpkin spiced late from Starbucks. I used to never drink Starbucks because of the whole big corporations thing. But when so many closed down and so many people lost their jobs, I felt bad for them and the only way I could think of showing my support is via drinking an occasional coffee from the remaining establishments. I wish I could still eat marshmallows. Damn gelatin. It's so sad. I used to live off of marshmallows, bagels and Twizzlers when I was in college. This of course was when I was anorexic and would work out in front of a mirror, noting each and everyone of my flaws, making a mental list of everything I would love to change about myself. Those were dark times Harry, dark times. Awe. Harry Potter. I could watch any one of those movies every single day for the rest of my life and still want more. It's such a great story. Ohhhh! We have a new Doctor Who episode DVR'd! I can't wait to watch it! Dinosaurs on a spaceship! That was last week. Hee hee. Matt Smith makes me chuckle. Seriously Dip, how can you be hungry? You'd think that we starve you guys. I love fall. We have been keeping the door open to our screened in porch and the subtle breeze coming through this particular morning is very refreshing, which reminds me, my feet are cold and I should probably put some socks on and do some laundry......
Welcome to my world. It's a scary, yet fun, place to live in....
Now for what I'm grateful for the past 2 (or 3?) weeks:
1) We went on our yearly beach trip the weekend of labor day. Lots of fun was had with the family. Favorite moments of the trip: Driving and listening to good tunes with Andrew, Dropping off Leira at his parent's house and getting to see our nephew Thomas, Peach Margarita at the Mexican restaurant we always eat at, the meal at the Mexican restaurant, sitting by the pool, finishing my book, walking on the beach, great conversation with everyone, playing games, watching Fresh Prince of Bel air.... (Just to name a few:)
2) On the way back from the beach, we stopped by my old work and I got to see a lot of my old co-workers. I felt very loved and missed and grateful to have been a part of such a wonderful group of people.
3) My 10 day work stretch went by very fast this time. I've been trying to keep in mind all of the positives in my life and it has helped when the going gets tough.
4) I have gotten a few compliments from clients at work. This always makes for a good day.
5) Apple festival in Hendersonville. I always forget how big Hendersonville is. I mean, it's not New York obviously, but it's always a lot bigger and more maintained than I think it's going to be. It was a very cute festival outside of the random, creepy clown walking around.
6) Fall is almost here!!! I LOVE this time of year! Great weather, beautiful scenery, fantastic t.v. shows, snugly blankets, outside fires, colorful leaves, warm drinks, Halloween, pumpkin spice, beginning of Hoiday fun...I could go on and on and on.
7) Andrew and I stayed up until 2:30 the other morning talking about everything from Religion to childhood memories. We listened to several Pandora stations and found one with old show tunes from musicals and Disney movies we both grew up listening to and watching. We danced around and sang dramatically to one another, acting silly and just being ourselves. I'm so lucky to have married my best friend.
8) I have come up with several crafty-like projects that I'm hoping to accomplish by the end of the year. I usually get discouraged and try to do too much at once, finally relinquishing whatever small effort I've made towards said project. I'm determined to stick with it though and to somehow get something artistic and creative out of it. We'll see.
9) The pets have been extra snugly and clingy with the oncoming cooler weather. I have woken up several mornings with at least 4-5 of our 6 pets strategically placed around me and Andrew.
10) We're planning to have lots of people come visit in the coming months and I'm so looking forward to seeing and spending time with everyone. I just love this time of year, filled with family and friends. I am so very fortunate for everyone and everything in my life. Thank you all for making it that much greater.
Love, hugs and peace.
