Self Portrait Sunday 7/12/2009

July12

I totally just typed 2007 up there! Geez, Louise. Here’s what I looked like just a few minutes ago:

I was sitting on my bed, chilling. I guess it has been so long since I posted that I ought to give you the week in review, huh?

Monday, I worked. Tuesday I worked, but I also went shopping. I got a new skirt and a shirt and a pair of gorgeous shoes. Not Danskos, but beautiful purple pumps. I have nothing to wear them with, and so this will necessitate yet more shopping. I’m going to claim to have planned it that way. Wednesday, I worked. Thursday, I worked. Friday, I worked. Saturday, I worked. Today I went to church, and this evening I will go to a church picnic with the kids. Next week, I’ll be repeating this cycle.

In between all the boring stuff, I managed to finish a book which I hope to get reviewed shortly, and I started two more. I also tore out and re-did my room, which I already discussed on my knitting blog. I had a couple of tough lessons in self-assertion that left me with knots in my stomach, a few fun phone calls, and I narrowly missed meeting a married man for coffee.

I mulled freshly remembered memories over in my mind, looking for clues to the woman I am today and I realized how very much I miss communicating volumes of words in one simple touch. Those last two are strictly unrelated.

    You may be tired, but you are hiding it well.

    Sounds about like my week… work, work, work, work, work, shopping! Add to that a 1 year old’s birthday party so I could hijack my niece and put someone short and chubby in my SPS with me. :)

    It’s amazing how fast shopping lifts my spirits. The only problem is that when I get the bills, they drop all over again!

I'm Cass. I am a full-time mom to eight great children, a Christian and a blogger. I'm also a knitter, a reader and a movie watcher. And a collector of eclectic oddities.

For the first time in 18 and a half years, I have my own little corner again. Somewhere along the way, I seem to have lost myself, and now that I realize I'm missing, I'm on the look out for me. You maybe don't know what that means, but then again, maybe you do. Regardless, this is where I'll be when I'm not being a mother or a knitter. This is where I'll be just me. And if no one ever reads it, that's ok. I'll know it's here.
