due to be deleted at dawn

I promised myself i would write every day in my new blog, rain or shine, pneumonia or lice. And so here I am soon to be midnight and breaking the only other rule, rule #2 no drinking and blogging.

Shane, my beautiful one (husband) is off on a business trip tomorrow to (holy crap) West Edmonton Mall!! I personally have never been, but I hear there's 2 or 3 gap's there, a zoo, an amusement park. Lord knows what else, but it is so far removed from everything I believe in. What do I believe in? I am a staunch 'not a hippy' don't look like one that's for sure. But I do believe in supporting the local economy - think globally, act locally - that has always worked for me even if the first time I heard it was from the multi-national Body Shop. Anyway's I am more likely to purchase a $25 Playmobil gift at my local toy store, The Red Balloon Toy Shoppe, than any $10 piece of crap at Walmart, I'll even shell out $5 more for a card and wrap at Red Balloon just to avoid a visit to the dreaded W.

So, rule #2 - gone to crap. I enjoyed a nice bottle of red wine with Shane and a couple of sweet treats and now I am tryiing pretty desperately to get some real thoughts down before I too join the snore's I hear through the baby monitor.

I think it won't work. I was asked to be president of my children's school next year! That's the highlight of today. I thought a lot about my brother, Chase, today. I should talk about that - oh yeah, not to mention my two other totally perfect kids Tristan and Toby. They are just more complicated and thus need a little more thought before I attempt to put them in words.

Anyhow, this is my really pathetic attempt at drinking and blogging.
