moving blues

It has been rainy and gray for a week or so, actually I think since the day they loaded our stuff into the crates. This is making me really look forward to Tucson and that weather -- sunshine and more sunshine, and then, hey, maybe some more sunshine! It will be a great opportunity to set all the furniture out in the sun and get that lovely European musty smell baked out of them.
Oops!Must go -- will finish later!

Wahoo, Julala! So glad you are back. If we could synchronize our insomnia, it would be a good thing for us then! Because it used to work for Mom and me, too, to call when we couldn't sleep and you weren't supposed to be in bed!
I had no idea Tucson was 800,000. Guess there will be a few places to shop there!
By the way, I have a little something for you to add to your latest collection. I picked it up in Guatemala, and then put it away, only to discover it yesterday. That kind of stuff keeps happening to me.
More later!
Your favorite

You like me! You really really like me!

Or maybe you just find me horribly annoying and are about to let me know. Go ahead, I can deal.

So, whatever, you know, leave a message. Thanks!!!

Okay -- updating my profile because I never removed the guinea pigs from it, even though they have been elsewhere for months.

Um...new obsession (HA) the elliptical trainer in the garage. I hate the thing, but today I burned 395 calories. I know. I so wanted to burn 5 more to make it an even 400, but then I would be at 50 minutes and 19 seconds, so I would have to make that round out to an even 51 minutes, and then the mileage could be rounded up to a more even number, and then the calories would be just a few away from 450, but then I could do just a few more seconds, then another few hundredths of a mile, and so on until finally I would fall off, hit my head, end up in the hospital with another nasty concussion, and gain weight because I am bedridden. It was so much easier to just burn the 395 calories.

We moved from the Sonoran desert of southern Arizona to the almost Arctic of Anchorage. I like the winters of Anchorage better than the summers of Tucson, so far.

Still have three kids, the oldest one is a freshman at the U of Arizona (dang it, now I will have to edit this again in a few months), the other two live on Fort Richardson with me and the dogs and the husband.

Other obsessions...my camera, my IPod Touch, my sewing machine. Fabric. Definitely fabric. Dishes. It's a thing females in my family have, an obsession with dishes. Pottery, and earthenware. Silver, definitely. Not crystal and china though. I am not a big fan of the fussy and overly ornate, and both crystal and china tend to fall into those categories, to me. Plus if I have delicate dishware, then I can't have the kids wash the dishes or put it in the dishwasher.

Other than that, I weigh too much, sleep too little, am very liberal, rabidly pro-choice, find it insane this country does not have universal health care, and think the world may be a better place with Obama at the helm. Oh, yeah, and chocolate. Much much chocolate.
