What Do You Wish To Share?
Well I guess I am going to share the truth as to why I haven't blogged all summer.
Let's start out with limited internet access. T-rexie is not what she used to be and when she is working sometimes I still could not get a connection, which still to this day is sooooo frustrating. I have been promised a a wired connection by Christmas. I may crawl or possibly fall through the attic myself if necessary to get this accomplished. There were times I did get on the computer. Usually late at night or in the wee hours of the morning. I admit it. I was on facebook. It just so happens that after numerous invites I finally sucked it up and signed on. My high school reunion was this year and afterward everyone else was chatting so I figured why not? I'm stuck in the middle of foreclosure city and I am bored silly. One can only read so many books. Which I did. About 30, at last count. And then there is the big TRUTH. I got a pair of double D's. Now don't excited. I am not talking about my breasts. Even though I wouldn't mind a new bra and a pair of those inserts that look kind of like rubber chicken cutlets to enhance what I once had and lost. No, I am talking about Double Depression. The economy had me down and so did the grips of grief. I am missing my sister and dad like crazy. Currently I am trying to get myself back on track in all aspects of my life, including blogging. I have decided to take baby steps and to just be in the moment. Whatever that might BE. I have missed my soul tribe and hope that you can understand.

participating in the
thursday-13
I look forward to getting to know everyone.
Here are 13 things about me
1. In April I will have been married 21 years.
This is quite disturbing to me, as I know that I am only 29.
2. I am a SAHM to 4 kids and 2 cats.
3. My mom lives right next door and we actually don't get on each others nerves.
4. My dad and sister are my guardian angels.
5. I can get lost in a book as well as downtown.
6. I can be chatty. Sometimes I speak without thinking first.
Therefore I carry salt in my purse to apply to the shoe leather.
7.I love to meet people and make new friends.
8. With a large family, I have to be wise when I go shopping.
So I always look for quality and a great deal.
The bargain bin does not scare me, it calls my name!
9. I'm fairly new to blogging and haven't figured out all of the technical aspects of it.
10. Coffee,coffee,coffee
11. I may live in FL but I rarely get to go the beach
and am pale as a ghost! Fortunately I can buy a tan at the store.
12. I love to write, create & sing. I am also tone deaf.
But my husband says that I have the voice of an angel.
13. It's not all about the destination, it's about the journey. I am on mine.
I plan on leaping into life and enjoying it.
I've spent far too much time sweating the small stuff.

Gypsy
gave me an art award. That's right.
Uh huh. I'm feeling a little "My Fair Lady" right now. I love my Gypsy!
She's super cool, super compassionate & super talented! And she picked me. Boooyaaaa! Thanks so much my friend & may I say, right back at ya!
Here is what I have to do that is the easy part:
7 things I love
1. My family are my friends & my friends are my family. Even the ones that are no longer "with me" Still love em, always will. Also my cats. They are part of the package:)
2. Beverages: Coffee (decaf) with sugar-free hazelnut creamer ( 1 pot everyday) & Sugar-free Peach tea.
3. Reading. Books, magazines. I can not get enough. Pretty much any genre. Gotta have something to read.
4. Bargain store finds,freebies, & giveaways.
four kids means you have to be thrifty! If you think nothing in life is free, think again.
5. Music & lyrics: Music plays in my head, all day long. Lyrics speak to me.
6. Spirituality. God. The Universe. Angels.Nature- There is something out there greater than myself. It speaks to me of the power of unconditional love. I will never lose my hope. I have faith.
I believe in miracles.
I am grateful for all that I have been given.
7. My gals in the 12secrets
Which makes the 2nd part of this a little more difficult. I now pass this award on to 7 more people. I am giving this award to some of women in my #7 of what I love. There are many women in my group, all that deserve this award. I am giving this award to some women that hopefully have not been tagged yet.( Hello I am little fishie swimming in a large, creative Koi pond.) I appreciate their creative spirit, their encouragement & of course their art!
FYI
you are under no obligation to do anything.
You can accept it, reject it, pass it on etc. It's up to you.
