25: The List

I'm sorry. This was supposed to post this morning at 7:36. I don't know what happened. In any case, here it is now...

As promised, my list of 25 things to do in my 25th year of life in no particular order (a.k.a. 25 fun things to blog about!)...

1. have a garage sale at our house
2. finish black and white quilt (in progress: quilting it!)
3. start grad school
4. take and print wheat pictures
5. donate old camera
6. sew a skirt for myself
7. plant a tree (we actually planted two)
8. grow a big vegetable garden (fill all four beds)
9. can salsa and possibly tomatoes/tomato sauce
10. catch up with Brad's basketball book
11. make braided cinnamon bread
12. touch up ceiling paint mistakes and stains (in progress: bleached the water stains on the ceiling. need to get paint for the paint mistakes)
13. fix kitchen drawer, or persuade Brad to do it for me
14. make a fray blanket with mom
15. write down Christmas memories
16. make something old/ugly/cheap into something nice (in progress)
17. find a completely new recipe that both of us love
18. organize coat closet
19. plan/run VBS
20. visit Sarah and Jamie in Seattle
21. take Brad to a Wingnuts game (fail.... oops.)
22. get my African violets to bloom
23. try seafood
24. plan and go on a Kansas day trip
25. have dinner guests (not family members - ones I will actually clean for)
And there you have it. Some things are very exciting. Some things are not at all interesting.

SOL: Caught

Image
Every once in a while, I try to take a purposeful break from blogging, for a day or a week or an indeterminate amount of time. Sometimes it's to focus on other things. Sometimes it's simply to get work done. But mostly, it's because I get caught. I catch myself checking my blog "stats" to see how many people are reading. I catch myself wishing I had more followers... after all, "they" have 20, and I only have 11. I catch myself coveting more comments from readers. So when I catch myself, I try to make myself take a break. (I don't always listen.) Because I don't blog for the attention (although I have to admit it's been a nice side effect). I don't blog so that others read me. I blog... well... okay. I never thought much about why I blog. I suppose it started as one of those "if they can, I can." I did it just to do it. But it's more than that now. (I just realized this yesterday.) I blog to be a writer. I have alwa...

Give away!

Image
Well, faithful blog readers, I've decided it's time. Time for a give away. I've mentioned a few times before that I am getting carried away with this headband stuff. You'd think I was stocking an etsy store or something. (Which I'm not. I'd have to think of a name that doesn't suck. I'm not creative like that. And I'd have to ship things in a timely manner... my sister's birthday present (from August 31st) is still on my piano. I gave my other sister her present last Tuesday when I saw her in person. My name is Megan, and I have  a problem with getting to the post office.) So I need to give some away. To win a headband of your choice (I will post a picture with all the options when I announce the winner), comment on this post by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, September 21... tell me how you found my blog or ask me a question or tell me a random fact. For an additional entry, "follow" my blog publicly by clicking the "join thi...

Lincoln Jesse Kohlman: Birth Story

Image
I am starting to write this post on Monday morning. It might take a while. While my entire pregnancy was blissfully uneventful, a fact for which I am eternally grateful, Lincoln's birth was anything but. This is going to be a difficult story to record (I'm already tearing up with this first paragraph), but I think it will start to help me heal emotionally. Warning: this post is not censored. It includes pretty much everything I can remember, just so you know in advance.  At 37 weeks, Dr. Fullerton sent me in for a measurement ultrasound. I had been measuring small since about 30 weeks, so we just wanted to check on the due date. Surprisingly, Baby K was measuring in the 89th percentile. This was a concern because, let's face it, my body is not exactly built for child-bearing. These hips are narrow. We, after a long conversation with the doctor, decided on the 13th that our induction would start the evening of the 21st. We told our parents and siblings and that was abo...
