Sing It Into the Weekend

Here it is the last weekend in January. Did this month go by speedy quick for anyone else?
No?
Just me?
To celebrate our landing at the bottom of the month let's have Jack & White sing us out of the January haze from their brand, spanking, new Winter EP (which you can check out here). I have a girl crush on Brooke White and I don't care who knows it, by the way.

I Made My Bed Just After This Photo Was Taken

This was me yesterday. I am trying to get up and get dressed and make my bed daily if not just for the ability to say I accomplished one thing. As it turns out writing a book is difficult. I would not recommended it. I would however, recommended getting up and getting dressed and making your bed.

I've really missed blogging proper this month--and vlogging too--I have so much energy to post here daily and vlog weekly I can't wait for next week to begin. C.Jane's going to be back y'all.

Not My Favorite Day I've Ever Lived...

...but not so bad either.

 

 

A Creature Stirs

I have been writing all day long.
Writing and writing so much so I have a lump on my neck where my head meets my spine.
I've been in the dungeon writing without so much a crack of light.
I'm afraid if I see daylight I'll curse it and go blind.
I've consumed nothing but burritos and donuts, Slurpees and Hershey's chocolate kisses.
But at least I've stayed away from Hostess.
Speaking of Hostess...
I am going to save them from bankruptcy.
Here's my plan.  

p.s. Thank you Sarah for taking my boy on this wintery day to his favorite place-your house.

p.p.s. Thank you Chup for taking my girls--in between your voice over job in Salt Lake and voice over audition in Provo--while I worked on developing a lump in my back.
Maybe you could massage it later?

Blissy Kissy Missy

In what is becoming a new year tradition, Chup took The Chief and Ever to Idaho last week to his parent's house and I stayed home with the baby. They went to bounce houses and ate nugget things and went swimming. Meanwhile I snuggled Erin, worked on the book and basked in the prize of a quiet and so very clean house.

I mean, I holed up. For the most part I declined offers from friends and family to visit or dine out. I didn't answer the door or the phone (well, I never answer the phone really) unless I had an appointment. I was very protective during my one week of self-imposed solitary confinement. It was like a social cleanse.

Never in my life have I had so much well wishing directed at me than I had this week. It made me feel pretty humbled that people care about me, and even though I didn't have much time, everyone was so understanding and cooperative. For instance, Steph left a box of Provo Bakery sugar cookies on my doorstep with a note of encouragement. Wendy and Tyler stopped in to swaddle Erin. Nat brought her mom and baby by for an afternoon of entertaining and enlightening conversation. Lucy's in laws Papa and Granny Beesley brought over a thoughtful, handmade gift.

When Chup and the children arrived home last night I opened Ever's car door to see her flapping like a fish in her car seat. She was excited to see me. And I was doing the happy dance unsnapping her seat belt. Then I had to take a long look at her just to make sure she was real.

And in the morning she wanted tutus and necklaces and to go outside and sit in the snow.

Oh man, I am a lucky woman.





Thanks Grandma and Grandpa Kendrick for all the loves and nugget things!
