Pearls of Wisdom and Foolish Mutterings

A Glob

This morning my thoughts are all over the place, so I've decided that, in place of my usual blog entry, I am doing a glob. You know, a glob of thoughts, a glob of stuff, a glob of randomness. A glob.

Let's start with a report from Broke Toe Mountain. Once I removed the tourniquet (in the form of toe rings) from my toe yesterday, the excruciating pain (yeah, I'm exaggerating - deal with it) began to ease up a bit. And I'm sad to report that this morning, the toe is not quite so colorful as it was yesterday. I was really hoping to milk this for a lot longer. Damn! Don't get me wrong - it's still purple and somewhat swollen, but not the kind of horrible dark purple and blue and swollen that makes people gasp and say, "Oh my God! What happened to your toe?!" Now it's more likely to elicit a reaction along the lines of, "Ewwww. What happened?" Oh well, I'm confident in my ability to find some other avenue for calling attention to myself.

Switching gears.... I was reading and reviewing this weekend and came across one of the most wonderfully written essays I have ever read. I just have to plug it here and you absolutely must read it, if you haven't already. It's wonderful!  Here's the link:

Switching gears again....  I want to brag on my hubby. He got a well-deserved (and long-overdue) promotion with his company. He is now Domestic Sales Manager for US Manufacturing. Woot woot!!


Our friend, David McClain has an excellent blog this morning. I urge everyone to pop over and read it. While you're popping, pop on over to scarlett_o_h and check out the picture of the new love of her life.

I guess I've put it off as long as possible. I need to pull together all the CRAP to finally close out my dad's estate. I don't know why I am dragging my feet so much on getting it closed out. Except that it's been the bane of my existence for nearly FOUR YEARS now! You'd think I would be happy to do it. Maybe it's the finality of it - I don't know. Too introspective for me this morning. So, with that said, I'll close this GLOB and go drag out those papers and get them to the lawyer. happy, happy, joy, joy.
