Things that I should be doing:
Unloading the dishwasher, loading it up again, vaccuming my kitchen, steam moping downstairs, Christmas Shopping, Christmas Cards, and getting ready for the Winter Wonderland for the twinzies etc.
Things I should be always doing: Eating less carbs, more veggies and more protein, working out at the gym, reading my book from my docent book club, and Jesus Stuff.
What I want to be doing : What I really want to be doing is sitting in a large comfy chair ( thinking of Monty Python) and reading a book...in a cottage in The Cotswolds....its near Christmas, there is a large REAL Christmas tree next to me and its snowing outside and I am sitting by a fireplace, I can smell the fire and the tree and I am in heaven. I am also drinking tea...something herbal maybe...maybe mint tea and I am listening to Christmas Music or Vivaldi. Okay, that is what I would LOVE to be doing right now.
What is really going on: I am obviously typing my blog at my desk. The puppy Alice is bringing me toys to throw, she is shoving her wet nose under my arm to pet her and play with her. I am drinking a diet coke/lemonade mixture. I am in great denial of responsibilities as a parent, a mother, and a wife. I just bought tickets for my upcoming trip ! I am so excited !!
Dear D Group: Today was good. I am glad I was able to tell you about me. I was glad I was able to pray out loud, I am glad that I find my time with you inspirational and has made a great impact on my life spiritually.
Dear NPT : Thank you so much for this inspirational card ! I loved it !!! It means so much to me. I have no idea if you sent everyone else a card like this one, but it was a wonderful feeling receiving it !
Rah Rah: Your approaching your drivers permit...I think I am going to cry. Not because you're going to be driving. I am just sad that you are growing up before my eyes into this fun loving girl who is beautiful, funny and intelligent. I hope you are always YOU and stay on that path !
Dear HRH Queen Elizabeth of England: I just sent you a Christmas Card. I am hoping you don't reply. Well, that you're ladies do not reply. Not because I don't love hearing from them, but I have enough letters from you. I am sure that there are people out there not necessarily more deserving of your response, but I would rather you invest postage on someone else.
You are one of those people in life I wish I could meet. However, I think I would fail horribly about all the rules that I required to meet you. The whole meet an greet process. I would probably try giving you a hug or something and I would be immediately asked to leave. I would be at a loss of words or just say something stupid and unnecessary and then you would say "Gretchen, that is very interesting". Then some man in a suit would say "Madame, it is time to leave, The Queen has other engagements to attend to". Then again, I could just act dumb and remain silent ? Too stressful, but I think you are awesome and I know you have had many awesome experiences and it would be fun to be in your company...
I am off to pick up my kids at the bus stop. I am tired so I am sure that this blog is sounding really stupid :)
