I’m pretty much just muttering now

Posted on | June 16, 2008 |

Am packing for our trip to Spain. In the process I’ve discovered: dear god in a housedress, I live under a rock. I haven’t gone “out” in oh, over a year I imagine. I no longer know how to wear lipstick. My feet, my barefoot garden loving feet, are in desperate need of a pedicure. And I threw a load of whites in the wash with a delicate, silky PINK wrap. And now everything is pink. Everything. I have never, ever done that before. Love how I saved that up for right now.

So I’m a bit muddled. Thank you all for your love from my last post. Some days parenting just knocks my socks off. Today, Bean was still sleeping when I was getting ready to leave–so I smooched him and sort of nudged him awake and he opened his eyes, reached out and climbed into my arms for the world’s most perfect snuggle ever. I’m gonna miss him like crazy. Even though we’ll be soaking in Old World charm, and having drinks with some of our best friends ever, and generally having a blast.

I’ll try to update when I’m there, but I can’t be sure of the Internet connection I will have. Don’t think I’ve forgotten you. I’ll be taking lots and lots of pictures.

    Have a glorious time!

    Two summers ago, my now-husband and I went on a trip to the East Coast, the trip where he was going to ask me to marry him. I washed all of my tweed sportcoats and dried them: with a black pen in one of the pockets. The entire dryer was covered in black smudges, as were all of my teaching clothes. My mother had come that morning to dog and garden / house sit, and I was totally spaced out from the destruction I wrought on our house and my inability to do more laundry for the trip.

    So I know what you mean.

    Wow, have an awesome trip! You deserve it. Hopefully you will find relaxation, inspiration and time for just you and DH to spend some quality alone time.

    And yes, we’re still curious about what you’re mysteriously on the brink of. Fingers are still crossed for you! :)
