things get a little lighter
Blah di dee blah blah blog....
I'm running out of things to write. I really don't want to whine anymore and feel sorry for myself and then come back to read it and vomit on my laptop. What a random sentence! Today I'm feeling a bit bored and have been trying to figure out how to keep Griffyn and me occupied. See, if he hasn't napped by now it's not a good thing for him to fall asleep. So, I'm on the computer and he's playing with his rescue ranger guy that he borrowed from some friends. Ah yes, friends, where did they go? I haven't been to a Monday mommy's group in almost two months since I'm not here on Mondays and I'm feeling a bit left out of the female loop. That's something I do need in my life, even though I do a good job convincing myself that it's not really a necessity. But it is. And it's good for my brain. And I really enjoy breaking the grammar rules stating that one should never start sentences with and or but. Whatever. Breakin' the law, breakin' the law.
So, today Griffyn and I went to my friend Sonya's house after doing the garbage drop-off. Yes, this is a small town where you drop off your garbage and recycling. We can get it picked up, but why bother? Anyway, I haven't seen Sonya in a long while and really needed to connect with her again. So we stopped by and also dropped off egg cartons since she has an abundance of chickens who lay the most incredible eggs you have ever eaten!! She also has a husband and two boys...just thought I'd throw that in. Talking with her is great, she's very chatty and not about fluffy things, either. We got into this great conversation about meditation. So juicy. I used to meditate every day (and I think that I've written that before somewhere...) and miss it. Karate is my moving meditation, but I don't do it every day (bad warrior, bad!). Some time it will happen again on a regular basis. It doesn't take much, just a minute or two every day will do for now. I'm not asking for miracles. Man, can you tell how much lighter I am? It feels really good. I despise feeling heavy...and the chub around my middle must be gone! That I mean literally, by the way.
Griffyn and I are off for a turkey repeat in a few minutes. Ah yea, cousins to keep us all occupied. I love it! It's just nice to go back home as much as I want with the parent's living right up the road. I love the home where I grew up, it's so cozy and warm. Plus my mom just rocks. We won't get into the father thing, but he's a great guy and I love him to bits. Okay, time to stop. My presence has been requested!
