Well I started out ranting and raving again about this .... technology. What am I doing trying to enter this "foreign land" of cyberspace without a genuine passport?? At the least it feels like I am operating under an alias and have forgotten my "name"! Or, it's like entering a five story parking garage looking for your rental, and you don't remember the color or make of the car, nor the level you parked it on, and it is freezing....[all true].
Okay, I'm a little short on patience today as I'm 28 hours into my 48 hour odyssey of clear liquids before they make a movie of my large intestine Friday afternoon! SWEET ;-)
Today Chuck and I found ourselves getting to go to Tulsa for the Jim Richards Conference - because someone very graciously purchased plane tickets for us. Wow! I had completely laid it down as not possible, and had told Tracy we were NOT coming. Oh me of little faith. Who Knew? I have been speechless and see how little I know about living by faith! Thank you, Abba and Dave T. !! There is much more to this than just a sweet blessing and I have much to ponder.
Writing out my daily life and thoughts is something very different and not a little weird -- a lot weird. I keep thinking "and who cares?" One, I see the wisdom in learning to express one's self better, if I really want to write a book, like I say I do. Second, I realize that talking is really easier than writing because it doesn't force me to connect the dots in what I am trying to say. People are more 'forgiving' than paper and ink, [although 'memory' is a queer bird]. And I am lazy about spelling everything out! Three, I've always been quite private about my inner world.
Today I also began a foray into landscape design and architecture!! Love it. I am working up a blueprint for a new backyard -- and then Chuck is going to "execute" the design plan. We have been looking for various ways to support ourselves in the coming years. "Tent-making" with creative materials in unique locations is a little intoxicating: on the front end anyway. Check back with me later 8-).

Oh, Mimi, I can't believe you have robbed us of your wit and thoughts for so long! For shame you waited so long to enter the blogging world!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you guys in two weeks, and I hope you'll bring a snippet at least of the design plans for the yard. I think it is awesome that you guys are doing that.
I hope your "video" goes/went well, and you quickly bounce back from the procedure. Give yourself a couple of days or so to clear your mind--that anesthesia is pretty hard on the old brain cells!
Love you!
