Here's what I think about it....

Saturday, November 13, 2010

Another ordinary day. A Saturday of football and soccer, art show and nail fill. Reading by the TV during commercials, keeping up with friends on Facebook and planning the rest of my life.

The plan begins with Madame Butterfly and a trip to Louisville to see this opera next weekend with a friend.

The plan continues with Thanksgiving Day dinner, counting chairs, configuring tables, visualizing serving dishes.

Anticipating a fun early December weekend at Winterfair in Columbus, OH with friends and former colleagues.

My mind jumps to Christmas with a shelf in the closet beginning to fill with gifts while other presents have been ordered to arrive in time for the holiday to addresses a distance away.

In between the big holidays are placed a six-week course I'm teaching titled "Me, Myself and Lies," a Monday night study, a Wednesday morning study.

Overarching all of this is the plan for the second week of January, ten textbooks for the course and papers to be generated from each. This part of the plan is always front and center of my mind.

I really love my life. And that's what I think about it.

Welcome

The most important thing about me that you might want to know is that I am a Christian. Unapologetically. You'll not have to wonder when you read from day to day or occasionally what world view I'm coming from.

That said I have lived in four states and now make my home in Middle America, in tornado alley...without a basement...thus my world view.

Lucky me to have traveled to eleven foreign countries and shame on me for not knowing any other language well enough to do more than say 'please' and 'thank you' in any of them.

I pig out on Junior Mints and am healthier now that my favorite soft drink has added vitamins to their formula.

The family? Two daughters, delights in every way and four grand daughters, ditto that. A near-perfect son-in-law (but only since no one can be really perfect) and a cat named Kat Karson, rescued from the animal shelter.

Oh yes, Jim, my good friend and husband. He's sort of retired but is still an attorney and thought it was very funny when he put a link on my blog to his favorite home-cooked recipes and then when I clicked on it it found it was empty. He is funny and wise, a reconciler and all-around good guy.

We spend a lot of time at soccer games, track meets and choral concerts.

I'm mostly retired also. I read, volunteer as a child advocate in the local court system, teach at the church and speak where ever people will gather to listen. My daughter and I lead a book discussion group and I play percussion in one of the church's worship bands.

I follow the Indianapolis Colts, the Cleveland Cavs, world soccer, and especially Big Ten football and Ohio State.

I try never to miss The Office and realize I've worked with or been every character on the show.
