the face

I am off to see Connor in a little while. The morning has been wonderful. Jared and I are cracking each other up. I took Scout for a long walk in the beautiful weather. I took a bath. I read my book. I took a nap. I let myself eat dessert at 9am because it looked so yummy. I am feeling more restored today.

Have you ever not noticed something just so obvious? I was driving down the road from Bradford and noticed an old yellow schoolbus tucked in the bushes and vines on the side of the road. I've been working at Bradford for 3.5 years now. I've driven this road five out of seven days a week and never noticed this old bus! That's what therapy is to me a lot of the time. A person will come in with a situation and I get a fresh, new look at the picture that he or she has grown so accustomed to that details are overlooked. I get to point out the bus that has been there the whole time. Interestingly enough, Scout missed something too. We were in the guest bathroom yesterday when she suddenly noticed the ducky handtowels. (This is the bathroom where she is bathed on a regular basis and follows anyone willing to let her accompany him or her to the restroom.) She started barking her head off at the little, oh-so-not-menancing-ducks. Funny that she'd never noticed or protected me from them before.

Facebook update. I'm still off of facebook and I'm enjoying the feeling of being more secure in my own life and happiness and I like spending less time browsing through the photos of others. However, there are some things I've discovered I miss. For example, I do like being able to send someone a message through facebook. Someone who's number or email I don't have, but need to get in touch with. I wanted to send a recipe to my coworker and had to remember to take the recipe to work, copy it for her, get it home, and get it back in the book instead of just shooting her a facebook message. I also missed a baby shower invitation that was sent soley over facebook. Jared's family functions are scheduled and announced on facebook. I missed an opportunity to get together with a friend in Nashville because the blog is our only connection now and I didn't get the comment, but might have gotten a facebook message. So, I may rejoin the face. I'm not sure yet. I'm still pondering.

Well, I'm off to play with my nephew.
