TWPICK Thursday, new DL, and it's not spinach but it's not a snickers

It's TWPICK Thursday - reloaded! I have new white pants today. Aaaaaand it's pouring outside. I was trapped in my truck for a while. White pants....rain... you do the math. I sent a distress email for coffee, but it was a no-go; it was raining on the other side of town too.

Our weather forecast right now says the 'first wave of severe storms...'. First wave. We are now an ocean from sky to sand, and the storms are coming in legitimate waves. Over and over and over. So water logged!

I did get to weed co-garden a bit last night, but gave up after I had fed every mosquito in the county. The air is thick, the mosquitos are thicker, and my patience was thin. Co-garden is producing well though. We have a few dozen chocolate/cherry and cherry tomatoes on the vine, cucumbers are beginning to take shape, and the growkra pods are getting bigger! If you've been here for this year's planting stories, you are breathing a sigh of relief with me.

Back to the old me

You know I recently went back to my maiden name, and that means I have to change my identity everywhere. Today I plan to get a new driver license, in the rain. 

Years back I had the BEST DL picture ever. I think it was in 2007. I was tan, thin, my hair looked amazing. I compared my license picture in 2011 to that one for the past 4 years. Now it's due again, and I get a name change. There is a lot of pressure on this picture. 

Do you practice and prepare for your DL renewal? I've seen some wild ones over the years. I don't think everyone thinks about it as much as I do.

Bootleg snacks

You know I got the snacks. 

~boiled eggs
~figgies and jammies
~iced coffee
~applesauce that I figured out is baby food...

...well, I'll have the iced coffee at 11 when the cupcake place opens. Open, open, open, open, open.

Yesterday I wanted Fritos, but chose peanuts instead. My justification was that they aren't spinach, but they aren't a Snickers. That makes them ok, right?

It's almost Friday, and that's almost good enough for me. 
What plans do you already have for the weekend?

    I'm the least photogenic person I know and my DL always reflects this.

Running again, and doing all the things.

The clouds have parted, the sun is shining, and this curly girl is alive again. A very dark winter took me away from many of the things I loved, including blogging. As I mentioned in a past post, I went through a divorce in 2014. It wasn't a terrible divorce, or a lengthy, angry divorce. It was however a lengthy separation; 2+ years. When the final court date arrived, and the papers were signed, I felt a huge weight lifted off of me. I've taken some time since then to adjust to the thought of no longer bearing the label of 'wife' or 'partner' or 'companion'. I started that adjustment when the separation started in 2012, but it became real when the divorce was filed. Once it was final, the idea fit better, like pair of running shoes after a few miles. :)  You just have to wear it a bit in order for it to become part of you. Although my identity is not defined by my relationship labels, it is something we wear, and therefore should take time to be comfor...

That lost feeling, it must be Monday.

I feel a little lost today. Do you ever wake up and just feel...lost? Did I sleep last night? Did I imagine that conversation? Was it a dream, or a memory? Am I tired or not? I woke up shaking in the night, and I don't know why. I was too out of it to even try to understand. I feel like I didn't sleep, but I'm not exhausted. I could swear I had a conversation, or rather, a conversation was had with me, but I'm not certain. I really don't like these types of days. My mind begins to dwell on things that may not have occurred, and I get all out of sorts. I need some time on my yoga mat I think. To get my brain on the right track though, I had a green monster shake and some caramel macchiato almonds. That'll do the trick! __________________________________________________________________________ I had a long/short weekend. It was a bit stressful, and a relief at the same time. It's now created new peace, and new nerves. I'll tell you all about it o...

What's the future Wednesday, just give me cherries and tell me I'm pretty, and stuffs

Deep conversations with friends about the future Why do I do this to myself? I really think God puts this stuff on my heart so often because He is trying to get my attention. Why mine? I have no idea, and sometimes, I don't want to find out. How scary (and amazing, and scary) to think that He would want MY attention for anything. Gives me the bleeps, the sweeps, and the creeps. What do I do when I'm confused after talking to God for an hour? Consult my friend that is struggling to understand His plan too! God probably loves those conversations. I really mean that. I know He loves to see us talking about pleasing Him. But....we aren't so good at it. The good news is, He already knows that. It doesn't make it ok to just put Him on the back burner when we are unsure of our next move, but it does make it ok that we are imperfect. Whew! Recently we have been discussing where and upon what we should place our life focus. We, as humans, like to make plans for our futur...
