work in progress

i feel like i'm in the middle of everything lately.

my syllabus is done except for one part that i am working on and will hopefully be done with someday.

our contractor for the apartment remodel is so confident that permitting will be done soon that he brought an electrical contractor over today and i let my little hopes get up about { this } much.

i need to get over my nerves and quilt that dang old quilt for ambrose already.

i'm still workin on my fitness, but lost steam when i was sick and i know i'll get back to it, but it's just something that feels like a lost cause. do stretched out abs ever go back in? i've stretched them far and wide. twice now.

anyway, all i'm saying is i'm in the middle of some big things and it would be nice to have something finished.

meanwhile, i can be happy for others.

i reconnected with a dear old pal of mine. we go way back and she is doing some amazing things! no really-it's pretty inspiring.

normally when i meet up with an old friend on facebook or whatever, i feel a little slapped in the face about what a freak i am being my age with two kids, married for five years...etc. when they're living the fabulous life miles away (literally and figuratively, you know). but after browsing countless pictures of them in a parade of stylish outfits, holding sassy cocktail after sassy cocktail, i start to feel a little better... like, i think bars and clubs are boring (actually depressing if you think about it) and i would rather own my parade of i-can-roll-around-with-my-kids-in-these-clothes, holding sassy baby after sassy baby any day... and really, who's that thirsty?? haha

anyway, you get the point.

so, it was fun to see a peak into your wonderful life old friend. refreshing and i am excited to see what you'll do next!

and i'm happy for you, mom-to-be! and your sister, bride-to-be! and you, future-project-runway-winner!, and i've been thinking about how happy i am for you, my love - you are gonna be a great mom, and i'm always happy for how well things are going for this peach and her photos cuz really she's da bomb, and i am so so pleased about your current phase of life because although it is making you sick as well, i wanted it so bad for you too, because you are awesome and i love you. wow, there's a lot of pregnants in that paragraph and a few more who have yet to announce it on their own blog so i wont do it here.

and honestly, i guess just about everyone i know right now is in the middle of something and working through it (even if the thought of that brick building come monday is just too much) with perseverance and patience. thanks for your good example. let's just keep pressing froward together. i love you! i'm thinking about you. good nite.
