1. I am mourning the loss of someone very special to me. She took me into her family, and kept me there for many years after change would deem it not so appropriate. She taught me how to make tortillas, and we shared recipes and laughed about beloved babies together. She was a wife, a mother, and daughter and a cherished friend—and while I am very grateful she is at peace, I don’t know how I- and many others- will manage our loss. Others by far, more than I. So if any of my readers are the praying kind, please send a kind word for those who are in mourning….it would be much appreciated.

2. I had a truly delicious moment of peace this morning. It was 6 a.m., the heater had just turned off (why is it one noise in the middle of silence can sound so LOUD?) and once the fan stopped, and the air cooled , ahh….silence. A silence so perfect I closed my eyes and breathed deep, and strung the minutes out as long as I possibly could before getting up and starting my day.

3. Ah the discovery of a fine man. A cute boy. A hot actor. My Tween and I were watching Lord of the Rings yesterday. It went like this: MT: “Mom. Who’s the elf guy?” ME: Who? Legolas? MT Oh yeah. He’s……awesome. INTERNET. Could you just die. She has also swooned endlessly over the Twilight guy and has asked how many times can she see the movie, over and over, until she has to obsess over the dvd release and then promptly put it on her ipod? I’m trying to remember who I crushed on at her age, and for the life of me I cannot. I think the earliest swoonish moment was over Johnny Depp in 21 Jump Street. Sigh. Like mother like daughter.
