Don’t Throw the Potatoes! July 15, 2008

It took an act of God, but I FINALLY got to catch-up on some sleep yesterday.  I think this may be the first time in 16 mos. or so.  So, I’m actually feeling pretty darn good.  Now, if those damn Housekeeping Fairies would show up, I could die happy.
I’ve discovered that no amount of warnings could ever exist to prepare for when your kid starts to walk and gets good at it.  Wow. 
“Don’t throw the potatoes!”
“Get off the Kitchen Table!”
“Don’t walk in the bathtub!”
“How did you get up there?”
“Don’t play with the soda cans!”
These have all been added to my vocabulary.  She impresses/scares the hell out of me everyday.

Otherwise, there’s not a whole lot that’s new.  Our next big event is at the end of August, so until then I’m back to making fun of everyday life.  It works.
No word on if I have a God Son yet.  She was due the 10th…poor thing.  I’ve suggested 4-wheeler rides, mowing their bumpy yard and having sex to try and help.  Still nothing.  In the meantime, I guess I’ll keep knitting his monkeys.  *shrug*

Me Time… April 28, 2008

Hi there,
I found WordPress today through my Best Friend and her blog and I was impressed with the “Bells and Whistles” so I thought I’d give it a go. 
For those who don’t know me I summed myself up in my profile…hopefully pretty timelessly (is that a word?) Anyway, I’m always changing in my interests and passions….meaning I always like the same things, but what I Love are the things that can change even from week to week.  I’ve always been like that, and I have no clue if it’s normal or not. 
So, in the meantime, I can tell you at this moment I Love Orchids.  Cattleyas specifically.  I have two, ‘Candy Tuff’ and ‘Hawaiian Passion’ and three more on their way.  I also caved and bid on another last night.  I’ll know Thursday whether I’ll get it or not.  I don’t think it made my Hubby happy, but he’ll be okay. 
My other Love at the moment is reading.  Specifically “A New Earth” by Eckhart Tolle (for the 2nd time.)  It’s really helping me ground myself which is what I need right now.
“The Secret” by Rhonda Byrnes is also a favorite of mine and “Ask and it is Given” was really great too.
And finally, I Love my camera, taking pictures of my daughter and nature and editing them with www.Picnik.com.  I can thank my best friend Kimberly for that addiction too. :)  You can see my work to the right in my Flickr widget.
I picked up the knitting needles again and am slowly working on a Monkey for my up-coming GodSon (Due July 10th).  I was really into knitting over the winter and although I still really like it, I’ve temporarily lost a bit of interest.  I think Knitting is turning into a seasonal thing with me.  I won’t ever not like it though.  That’s for sure.
All in all I have ADD regarding my interests, and as I wrote in my profile, although even I sometimes find it annoying, I also think it keeps me interesting.
Guess that’s all for now!
