Exciting News

I have news. Exciting news. Well at least exciting news for me. However, I can’t share today. First I have to tie up some ends in the real world. Because it is the kind of news that people in your real life should hear before they read it in the virtual world. I know that I walk a very thin line of real world verses virtual world but believe it or not I try to make the real world come first. J

I try! I don’t always succeed but I try.

Instead of hearing my exciting news you get to read about my summer funk. Which I dealt with the same way I have dealt with many of my funks. I slipped into a good book and let the life in the story play out. Believe me it was much more entertaining than my real life.

I have literally spent the summer with my nose buried in a book. Reading no less than 50 books. Sad but true.

Among my favorite reads this summer was actually a reread. In about a weeks span I reread all the Harry Potter books. I was amazed at all the details I had forgotten and truly enjoyed reading them again. Rowling told a great story.

I tried to reread the Twilight books with no success. Either it has been to soon or once you know how it ends there is no suspense to pull you back into the story.

I am betting the latter. Please don’t send me hate mail. I’m just thinking that the books aren’t as great as I originally thought.

I can actually feel your hate right now.

It is kind of scary.

Okay, I take it back I LOVE TWILIGHT!

Please don’t hate me.

Anyway, my summer of reading is coming to a hault. Which has a lot to do with my news. J That I will be sharing soon, just not today.

Hey, look I am creating suspense. Maybe I can get a multi-million dollar book deal.

Huh… That’s just mean you should really think quieter

Can't tell us yet? WHAT????? That's like putting a piece of cheesecake in front of me and then telling me, oh you have to wait. Not very good at the patience thing, Krissi. Tick tock. Time's a wasting. Better tell soon.

You know, ya otta be careful packaging information as "exciting news." Among most of my friends here that can only mean one thing..........

.....now, I won't start any rumors that you might be expecting anything like a bundle of joy... but I won't NOT start those rumors either.

SO, you better fess up, Sister! What are you not telling us?

By the way, you sound really excited. If congratulations are in order (and I don't mean because you are/are not ... well, you know), the Congratulations!

Oh, and I certainly don't hate you for not loving Twilight as much on the second read. There are only a handful of books that I have ever picked up more than once.

A friend of my loves books because she feels that they become her friends. She reads once, and then returns often to enjoy the same excitment again and again.

Me -- not so much. I am a literary one-night-stand. I like the initial thrill and excitment of new plot lines and new characters. I like to stay up all night just to see what happens next, but when it is over... I am done with it.

If Twilight is your one-night-stand, it's okay. Something else will come along, turn your head, and keep you up and turning pages all night. =)

I thought the same thing as Willow about "exciting news". What else could "exctiting news" be? Hmmmmm. And yes, I agree that it's hard to juggle real life people with internet people sometimes (and where the intertwine), especially around times of "exciting news".

As one who doesn't expect all "Exciting News" to revolve around the baby bliss, (Cuz Honestly I just can't see you starting over) then I'm speculating on something happening on your career front. I'm going with something that will "HALT" your summer. SO I Say "CONGRATULATIONS!" No matter what it REALLY is! ;)

However, I as one who has 0 time for patience... I will expect an update POST HASTE!

I have to say, I didn't REALLY think you were expecting. You never know, but, uh, it just seems like you're past that stage...

At my Age

I saw this quote the other day and had to smile. It has been interesting finishing school at my age. I have had this feeling more than once that I am a little old, and finishing school is something I should have done a long time ago. Usually I remind myself that we all have our own paths to take in life. My path had me marry at 19 and become the mother of four beautiful rug rats by 27. Marriage and children defined me more than anything. I became more aware of my talents and abilities. I really didn't know who I was before I became a wife and mother. Waiting until now to finish my degree gave me time to figure out who I am. Well, at least to have a better idea of who I am. I love being in a classroom, I love learning, and I love helping others learn. My inner nerd does little happy dances every time I learn something new. Each person on this planet has their own God given talents. We have a responsibility to find our talents and to make the world a better place. How old you are wh...

Hip Hip Hurray, Tomorrow is PIE Day

Well in a little less then 24 hours I am going to have to reset this counter.  I can hardly believe that it says 30 days.  I have to tell you I never thought I would make it this many days I really thought I would have to reset it at some point in time. It has been a huge motivation for me knowing that you guys are watching the counter.  Also, knowing that even if you didn't catch me in the time allowed you would see that I punked.  That I didn't have the self control, not to eat sugar. Every time I would think of eating a goodie, I would think about reseting the clock.  I would wonder who was online, I would wonder if I would get caught, I would wonder who would catch me.  By the time I got through thinking about all of that I would decide the treat wasn't worth it. Another motivation has been my kids, who have said, "Mom you don't have to reset the counter no one would know."  I wanted them to see that  I could be honest and not do something I shouldn't ...

Stepping Up to the Plate

This is going to be one of those braggy, braggy post just thought I would warn you. Life has gotten to the point that it is completely out of control. I’m not really sure what we were thinking when we had four children in the span of six years. I also don’t know why I thought it was difficult when they were small because life now is, as I said, completely out of control. Everyone is at the age that they are involved or doing something. Our nights have become logistic nightmares. Pick up here, drop off here, go here, and stop here. It is craziness. Added to this insanity is the fact that we are currently a one-vehicle family. A couple of months ago as I was signing Al. up for basketball I was desperately trying to talk H. out of playing basketball. He has only wanted to play since he was four and every year he would remind me how many more years until he could play. Why, oh Why did I not say he had to be 16? Eventually, I gave in and signed him up knowing it was going to be tough to fit...
