IN WHICH LIZ POINTS AT THE SKY AND LOOKS AMAZED

Last spring and summer I walked every day. I had big plans for this year. Big, I tell you! Then I de-railed completely with a severely sprained ankle in February and I have not walked except once. It’s only now that my foot is starting to feel closer to normal than it has for a long time. I know, I’m lame. (haaaaaaaaa) I need a kick in the seat of the pants, a motivating word, a kick start. KICK! START! My son is in the middle of a project that has me totally floored. I can’t wait until he’s done...

IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE WEATHER IN SWEDEN, JUST WAIT FIVE MINUTES

YOU DON’T DROWN BY FALLING IN THE WATER

Today was a half day of work, but I ended up staying until 2 because I was trying to get as much done as possible due to having tomorrow OFF. woot! Sleeping in, here I come! Anders took Friday off, but I have so much to do still (with no end in sight 🙂 that I didn’t feel it was an option. Tomorrow is “Christ Flew Up to Heaven Day” as literally translated from the Swedish Kristihimmelfärdsdagen.* One of the reasons that I sometimes think about dropping out of choir, aside from the fact that it’s a weekly-plus commitment is...
