The party went well--no real injuries or illnesses. In fact, once the slingshot broke, we let them have a free-for-all with the remaining water balloons. It took us a good hour to get through all the water balloons with the slingshot, so it was $20 well spent.
We are now back in school, and I am reconsidering the purpose of blogging. I have talked to a few people, just venting what I want out of this and what I want to do. I think I need to just get back to writing and then the rest will come. So one thing I talked to my sister about is that I'm not really good at one, thing. I have lots of interests, so I'd say I'm pretty good at a bunch of things, but not fabulous at any one thing, and sometimes that depresses me. Some would say that I will never be limited in life, and some would say I'll never perfect anything in life. Both are decidedly true. Blogging, though, seems an awful lot like "hey look at me!" and wouldn't I be better off journaling my life with a Mead notebook and a great pen, however, I wouldn't be able to use pictures as easily (haven't actually developed any in about a year). It is also nice to be able to link things with the computer for faster referencing.
I have been rambling. Again. Here's the deal, and this is what I have been thinking about today:
1. I love food. Yesterday, I made a yummy corn chowder and served it with fresh tomatoes and basil on garlic bread. So good, I'm still thinking about the leftovers at 10pm.
2. Sometimes, I don't like my husband. Sometimes, he doesn't like me. That's that. We'll both get over it, but you know, these are things they don't talk about in pre-cana counseling.
3. I am a children's book junkie. Gotta do some clean-up.
4. Chowder is calling me.
5. My prayer life stinks right now. God knows it--I'm tossing up these 5-second prayers lately, and he knows what I'm thinking about and all, but it still stinks. I need to get back on track.
6. Thinking about Shannon's trivia night--sounds like it could be fun, with the right group. May even win (again). Might not (again).
7. Going to start sending myself emails, so I don't forget to do things like buy the stupid Scotchguard that could've helped my microsuede chair. Also buy toothpaste and toothbrushes. Poor Bear's looks like he's been using it to scrub the pots and pans.
That's about it for now. Good night!

Well I know two things you're good at 1) You are a good Mama Bear and 2) You are a good friend.. and those two are worth more than a lot of talents and hobbies but duh, you HAVE a talent for music and writing so give yourself more credit :-)
Also, I know what you mean about the "hey, look at me thing" and we are to be humble and not craving attention, and I don't think you do, but that's besides the fact. The fact is, there are people, like me, and other family and friends, that ARE very interested in YOU..... and blogging is a great way to communicate with them. So don't feel what you are feeling, in fact toss it out the window right now and keep on blogging chicka! Hope to see you soon.
Hugs,
Mary
