MY BOGGY BLOG: find your way through the murk

Blogging Every Day?

Okay, blogging every day... even just remembering to do it... is not as easy as I thought it would be.

I'm hoping this week is a little less hectic. Last week it was getting ready for my party on Saturday, with me spending a good portion of my time sorting through about 10 old boxes that have been sitting around the basement for three years. The boxes needed to be out of the basement and ended up in the kitchen, and I know I needed to get rid of them by the party. I have a big mental block against sorting through heaps of clutter, but I did it. And found lots of stuff that I hadn't known the location of. Lots of pictures and old stuff of the kids'. It was such a relief to get it done! And then there was the cleaning and shopping and etc., for the party.

But it was a great time, worth all the work (I'm not sure my DH would say this!). We had a perfect sunny day in the 70s, and people coming and going from 3:00 to midnight. We had potluck so it was a great variety of food, and lots of kids around, lots of talk and laughter. I was honored so many people showed up to celebrate with me. I had a blast and didn't get too much teasing about getting "old" (especially since almost everyone I know is older than me!).

Today I taught the 6th graders at church school, and they were a good bunch and the class went very well. I'd been a bit worried about it because I don't think I've ever taught 6th graders, and it was the first time with this new curriculem and new teachers to teach with. And it was the day after a late night of partying. I don't *think* I had a hangover... just a bit of a headache.

And we enjoyed the day by going on a family walk around Lake of the Isles. I thought it was a smaller lake and that was why I asked if we could walk there. It was almost 3 miles around, so not that small. But the weather was so great and the lake was gorgeous, and it is less crowded on the walking paths there than at Lakes Calhoun or Harriet.

Now it's back to Monday tomorrow. I did get my new writing toy for my birthday, a wireless Alphasmart laptop. It has a tiny screen and runs on batteries so I can take it anywhere. I think it will be perfect for writing!
