There will be about 15
for dinner on Tuesday. Everyone from the J-term class and many of the deaconess community that live in town will be able to be here.
I’m making spaghetti according to the “old family” recipe. I love having the house full of friends (old and new) for dinner and socializing. But again, it’s the preparation that is not my favorite. I dream of the day when I can manage to keep my house in a “good enough” state continually so that having guests doesn’t require weekends of marathon housekeeping.
I must have missed a memo or something about this weekend. Everywhere I went this morning on my weekly errand route (Target for dog food and whatever, liquor store for wine, Cub for groceries, Ready’s Meats for, well, meat) it was practically empty!
Was there a note that we were supposed to stay home today? Was there a “big game” going on this morning? It reminded me of the night I went to buy the new teevee when the Vikings were playing and I almost had Circuit City to myself!
It was awesome. I got my shopping done in an hour and a half! (It usually takes me an hour just at the grocery store!!) Weird.

I’m still fighting this cold… and experiencing one of the weirdest periods of my life, due entirely to the surgery and Mirena, I’m sure but weird for me anyway. (as in easy and not debilitatingly painful.) I’m hoping this means I’ll be one of those women who in 3-6 months will have just a couple days of light bleeding or even no bleeding at all!! What a luxury to have all that without the pregnancy! It could be explaining the gastrointestinal disturbance, though. Either that or the pizza last night was tainted.
****************Back to regular drivel************************
I’m going to the Guthrie tonight with Mr. Hockey. It’s my Christmas present. We’ll be seeing Peer Gynt.
Don’t know if we’ll talk more about the exchange from earlier in the week or what. All I know for sure right now is that I’m confused about what I want, what I need, and how he may or may not fit into that picture. And that’s all I’m going to say about that right now.
Except to say that when we are together, he makes me feel the most special, the most loved, the most treasured, and the sexiest that I’ve ever felt in any relationship before.
In the meantime, I’m trying to get my living room back to a pre-Christmas semblance of order. Kind of hard to do without someone to help move furniture, but I’m taking it slow and taking breaks.
OK. That’s enough for now. No great epiphanies. No threads connected. Just a documenting of the mundane life.

Hmmm, that made me go hmmm.
Sorry about the troublesome nethers. Mine got bad over the summer, no clue why. Pill is supposed to equal light.
Enjoy the play tonight. That sounds wonderful.

Good luck on the relationship front. I don’t know why they have to be so confusing, but they almost all seem to be. I guess we all just have to weigh the good and the bad.
