Five for Ten was a really great idea. Some of us are fickle though. Don’t take it personally. Today is the first day I’ve turned on my computer in over a week and commenting on blogs is a pain in the ass from my iphone. But I am still here and I will still come back again, and again to read your words and to feel our community in all it’s strengths and weaknesses. Thank you Sarah and Jen always for sharing the good and the bad.
Looking forward to Half Drunk Posting!! It’s been a few years since I was even a bit tipsy, fourth baby took all desire to drink in any capacity away. But now that I’m officially finished breastfeeding…..

HAPPY HOLIDAYS to all of you! (Get some rest. Yeah, right.)

Baking to do!

Clinking of glasses (or breakage?) – what the hell. Does it matter, as long as you all end up smiling and NOT in the ER?

Thanks, for a great 10 days, and more to come.

Maybe not ending. Beginning.

Wait? Who’s gonna be slobbering? Maybe both of us? I know I’ll be crying. Big mess.

And I already know my half-drunk topic. It came to me like a bolt of lightning yesterday. And it scares the shit out of me! Me. Scared. Yep.

You will make me brave.

Parsnips. Yum. Or wine. Or tea. This time of year I become an Earl Grey junkie.
I hope we can meet up. Lynne, do you like to read? Because our book group needs a few more members. Really. We are floundering because one of us moved away and there were only five to begin with, and on any given day, somebody’s kids are sick or significant other forgot about the meeting or or or.

Great dream. Except for the drinking of the broth, of course. I would be much happier with coffee or wine. :)

Yes! Let’s make it happen. What a hoot it will be to finally meet someone in the blogging world. But I think if we didn’t we’d just be wimps, right?

Off to start my day. Er…something like that!

How wonderful is THIS to wake up to on a foggy Wednesday morn, the boys beating each other up, stealing each others’ blueberries, crushing each others’ cheerios into the carpet.

Bottom’s Up, Indeed!
I hear the distant clinking of glasses.
And see many smiles.

Hey! I just woke up from a Momalom dream! I was sitting with both of you in a cafe–with NO CHILDREN–talking and laughing! We were drinking vegetable broth, which seems weird except that I set up a crock pot full of vegetable broth last night and my whole house smells like parsnips, which would explain how it got into my dream. Maybe this dream could come true some time? Except I hope we are drinking wine, even though I will only drink half a glass. Or coffee. Because even though I make wicked good vegetable broth, I don’t really want to drink it.

It’s the last day? I didn’t even realize. I was just going to come here every day forever.

Haiku!

two sisters blogging
have a grand idea: bring
readers together

for ten days we read
we write, we laugh, even cry
we become as friends

now we have drunken
december, and i for one
say, “bottom’s up, girls!”

Thanks, Crystal! I think the general consensus is that we all feel motivated and inspired and more connected. It’s been a successful ten days and I couldn’t be more delighted with the outcome. Thank you for being a part of it all!
