I have little to say today. I've been sitting in a chair all week, when I wasn't at the hospital doing tests...so there hasn't been much stimulation. I'm beginning to crave cooking again and spent hours gathering recipes, transferring them to my database, and planning another bulk cooking day. Never mind that I can't be on my feet. I can dream.

And while I'm sitting I can continue the search for the perfect muffin tins.

Oh, and for the perfect minivan. It's that time again...we have to have something at least before our Tennessee vacation in August, and it appears that it will have to be well before that. I told The Papa that as long as it has great cup holders and is MP3 ready, I'm good.

I'm sure that, like me, you're all shocked and still recovering from the news that Cuba has just named Raul Castro as its new "president". Will wonders never cease.

The girls are hard at work getting the next kids' musical ready for our church. They're going to be doing Kids' Praise 3, The Funtastic Family. This musical speaks to the Body of Christ and how we are all integral parts of the Body. Very appropriate, because the sense of community that was built among our families during the Christmas musical and how much it taught the kids about being a family was incomparable. And now, they'll be learning even more about the contribution that each of us makes to the whole. It's really "gluing" us together in new ways.

Just another 90 degree February day here in south Texas. I want to go vacation in Minnesota.

It's time to get new glasses again. I hate the process almost as much as I hate buying a new swimsuit. But nearly three years has made changes in one eye that I can no longer deny. My scare with my eyes this year makes farsightedness seem harmless by comparison, but it is a nuisance and one I must take care of in the next month. Given my artificial joints, several new crowns on my teeth, and the losing battle to cover my gray, I'm quite ready to trade in my body for a new one :-)

Anyone care to join a pool for speculation on who the VP choices will be?

Have a great week!
