Originally posted on my blog, at lindseysjohnson.com. You can comment here or there. You can comment anywhere! But it might be more topical here or there.End of/beginning of the year post - it’s so much pressure. How do I sum up this past year? Some really fantastic stuff happened - milestones that I had almost given up on, in years past. I wrote a ( Read more... )

And now, the continuing saga of a quack who’s gone to the dogs. No, wait, that’s Dr. Bob on the Muppets’ Veterinarian Hospital. So instead, we’ll have the continuing saga of things not going as planned, but still somehow time keeps marching forward. Sometimes over our prone, exhausted bodies. What? It’s Fall. Fall is like that ( Read more... )

How is it the middle of July? And Happy Birthday to my Daddy, and several other wonderful people, too ( Read more... )

I don't have time or energy for a big post about All The Things. Maybe I will later, but I always say that, and then I never do. So here's a quick look at the now:

1. My knee is still slightly damaged from the dance performance. I can walk, I can sometime elliptical, and I'm not in constant pain. But one modern class more than a week after the ( Read more... )

An update on what's going on around our lives relating to foster/adoption stuff:

We have met our social worker (on our side of things) and she is very nice. We've had two interviews with her, as she gets to know us and about what we're capable of/comfortable with, and all about us. It's kind of like speed therapy with outcomes assessment. She's our ( Read more... )

Random things make a random post. Ah, the art of blogging - I flail at it.

Next week Scott and I meet with the foster/adoption social worker, and turn in some paperwork. So it begins. I don't really know what to expect, other than the Spanish Inquisition. I think they might have more than the comfy chair in mind, though, when they question us. Well ( Read more... )

Partly because I've been sick lately - not seriously, just a run-of-the-mill cold that means I'm tired and not sleeping well and I notice that I'm mouth-breathing more often than not. Bleah.

I've been thinking a lot about the project I'm working on, but not so much *working* on it, if you get my drift. I haven't kept up with my daily numbers at all ( Read more... )

I've decided to try a little something to push me toward writing this project. I've been hovering on the edge of it, really hesitant to do more than dip my toes in and wriggle them around some, see if there are any fishies splashing further out. But the only way I'm ever going to get writing again is to jump in that water and hope I find the big ( Read more... )

Well, it was a few days ago now, but I'm behind. So here's my report of my crazy weekend.
