My word has it been raining. I think the number is above 6 inches this week. It has been something the area has needed for a very long time. Some of the local lakes are back up to normal, but most have several feet to go.
The Tour de France has what is known as a "roll out" at the start of many of the stages. It is my understanding that it is a bit like a parade to let the locals catch a glimpse of riders as the head out of town and before they hit the open roads with race speeds. It's somewhat of a warm up for what is to come that allows nerves to settle and legs to warm up. That is how I feel this January of 2012 is going. It feels like we are all just warming up and that the year is not really going yet even though the month is practically over. I am not sure, what will make it feel different. It is an unsettled feeling.
There are no dress rehearsals in life, but it sure feels like one these days. We have accomplished a lot so far, such as adding lights, cleaning out closets, and hanging ceiling fans, but it seems like we are rehearsing.
Many New Year resolutions are still on for me, but I think some are being hindered by Frozen Yogurt, my comfort food of late. Unfortunately, those single scoops seem to be growing!
It is initiation weekend in for our daughter, but we are not a part of it this weekend. I know that there are a lot of proud girls, moms, grandmothers and friends. Our weekends are deeper into the school year.
