Flamingo Friday

I'm going to start a scrapbook of flamingo stuff. Newspaper clippings, photos, what have you. It makes me feel closer to my family, but especially my dad. So from now on, my blog will have two Friday themes. Flamingo Montoya Friday, where I post this guy:



doing something crazy, and Fight the Frump Friday, in conjunction with Fabulous Fussy over at http://fussypants.typepad.com/

Oh, and by the way, our new lounges are being delivered on Thursday!!! Soft, beautiful lounges that one can actually sleep lounge on (well, most people can't, but I'm short so I'll fit quite nicely). I am SO excited! This is what they look like, but in a pretty pale sage green color. It's a little boxy in appearance for my liking, but by far kinder to the 'sitting parts' than the other ones we tested.



That's all I've got for today. Off to do something productive (but not too hard!)
XOXO,
Sarah

What a relief!

I have a hard time keeping secrets. Not other people's secrets, but my own. So when I have a secret, I really want to broadcast it to the world. The last 5 days have been incredibly difficult for me, but finally I can tell everyone.   I am indeed, as my sister eloquently put it, with child. Well, given the title of my blog I'm usually with child, but specifically, my uterus is with child again.   It's truly amazing how even just the knowledge that you are pregnant can change your perceptions. Monday, I didn't know. It didn't even cross my mind. Tuesday morning, I didn't know. Tuesday afternoon, I know. And all of a sudden, I'm exhausted and nauseated. Physically, I am no different, really from Monday to today. But mentally, emotionally? My world has been officially rocked!   XOXO, Sarah

Where Do We Go Next?

The truth is, nobody really knows what happens next.  At the stroke of midnight,  people will celebrate the close of a year that has felt absolutely interminable. We all hope things get better, we talk about how we are hopeful - but what are we going to DO to make it better? I'm a storyteller. In the words that I write, in the food I prepare, in singing, in decorating my home, in my garden. Until now, much of my storytelling has been reflective, introspective. In this new year, I want to tell stories that bring us together. I'm stepping out of my own head, and writing words that tell the story of courageously walking towards that big fat question mark.  What happens next? Don't know, and it doesn't matter. I'm stepping out to meet it no matter what it is. I'm not hiding behind pretty words for another day of my life.  What would my life be like if I finished my certificate and got a job at a school? I don't know, but I'm doing it anyway. What would it fe

Please understand

I know I haven't been very communicative lately, and trust me - there's a really REALLY good reason. I'll be able to spill the beans in a few days' time, but until then, it's really hard for me to write anything without giving anything away. So, as soon as possible, I'll be back to normal blogging practices, boring the daylights out of you all with my inane stories of poop, pee, and other hilarious bodily functions. :-)   XOXO, Sarah
