MOVING SLOW

Summer Time is in full swing here – HOT and HUMID and STICKY and well just miserable unless you are inside in the AC.

Of course – I am inside in the AC – soaking up every second of cool air that I can get…
I wish I could tell you that we are moved in finally into the new computer room but that would be a lie…I think we have all become totally lazy and procrastination is our mantra because the heat arrived and nothing is getting done.

Today tho we are making progress – we are going through A LOT of junk in the old puter room and throwing out a ton of garbage…that way we know exactly what is going to the new room without the junk~We are also setting up a craft area for me – that was the original reason for me moving into another room, just not enough room for all my hobbies and such.

I will still be sharing the puter room with the honey tho I am thinking perhaps he needs to move into a different area – I don’t want him to cramp my new style – LOL.

Other News—both AJ and Crystalyn are ready to go for a new semester in school – Crystalyn passed her summer courses with a 3.0 so I am a happy camper—college starts here on August 30th….all other school start on the 23rd. My daughter is counting down the days until she turns the BIG 21… OMG I cannot believe that she is going to be that old. Where has all the time gone – I can still remember like it was yesterday picking her up at pre-K and her being so proud of her day and telling me all about it…and now she is in college and experiencing a whole new life and meeting some wild and wonderful people…OH to be young again.

Have you noticed that Pre-season football has started… I am in complete heaven – so many games to watch and so little time to keep up with them….lol. I am truly excited about football season – I think it is going to be exciting with all the new rookies and changes that have taken place---all the teams so far are truly looking good!

I am still working on my creations – and have even taught myself the basics of knitting and I am attempting to knit a baby blanket for my new grand daughter—then again if it does not turn out right – it can used to cushion her car seat or stroller—LOL.

Just wanted to do a quick update – nothing much huh?
Thanks for stopping by and reading—Remember to HUG those you LOVE – time is so precious and moves so quickly----PEACE~!~

SUMMER NEWS

HELLO SUMMER TIME!!!
I have been wondering if keeping a blog is a smart thing for me.
I have lost so much motivation to keep up. I have wanted to write about things
happening here - but getting my behind to actually sit and type out an entry
seems to be a major endeavor.Anyway - I am here now - so let me catch you all up on what is going on.....

Some GREAT news is that I am finding some dear friends that I have lost touch
with over the last 20 years - every once in a while I put type in their names
in a Google search just to see if I could find them but alas it
was not to be.....then on face-book I tried to do a search and slowly but surely I
am finding these wonderful friends/family once again and it really has
done wonders for me...I am finding that there were a lot of missing pieces to my life until I started finding
these dear friends.

The first friend that I found is sweet sweet Lauren - she was my roommate in college.
WOW it is wonderful to connect with her - she could always make me smile and is just
beautiful on the inside and outside - just so sweet...Golly I missed her.
Slowly but surely we are catching up on news--her emails sound just like her.
I am so determined to NEVER lose touch with her again or any of my dear friends.
I am VERY thankful for the internet - through it I have connected my past with
my present - and it is the perfect match!!! It feels like I am becoming more
like myself...I will write about my other friends in my next entries - I am trying to save topics to discuss so that I have at least that motivating factor helping me out.

It is typical SUMMER weather here - temps in the triple digits - so the a/c and I have
become really good friends - just another reason to stay inside.
I see a new lung specialist towards the end of this month - my other doctor
was slowly trying to get out of the WC business - he has turned his business into
educating senior citizens in preventive care - running a lot of community programs.
He barely had any more office hours - and trying to please everyone in this situation was just not working out for me - so now I have to start again.
Oh well - typical state garbage!

Any day now I am going to be a grandma - now that is exciting!!!
We know the baby is a girl---I am so excited -- I just wish I could be there..
but they are in Japan. But 6 weeks after the baby is born they are coming back
to the states - my son is heading for Georgia - so at least he will be closer to home.
I will have plenty of time to spoil and enjoy every second of it~~
Allen thinks if he just ignores it he will not become a grandpa because he is
claiming that he is too young - OMG ready or not - here she comes....LOL!

I have been keeping very busy with staying creative - I am still playing with
digital painting---and I am improving upon my zentangles - it really does
relax me - feel free to check out my art blog - FINDING MYSELF - and checking
out my art - it makes me feel like I am doing something good...and not
just wasting away!!!

Allen has been keeping busy with working on lawn mowers and small engine repairs.
Now that he can do for HOURS and HOURS...he gets into the zone and he just keeps busy.
Now he even has people from all over the place calling him to see if he can help them.
We are also talking about creating with gourds - dried up gourds - we have the tools,
we are just comparing prices right now of places that sell the gourds-because we
cannot find any that are local.
My hunnie wants to be creative with me - now how cool is that.
The daughter is working at her school job all summer and taking a couple
of classes also - she is loving it all - and she has a art exhibition coming up that will last
until the end of the year - WOW - I am truly impressed!!
She has created her own army of "monsters" - they are just so cute!!
They are out of clay - and just so very cute - she is also doing teddy bear jars - that
girl has such talent - I am in awe!!

As for the renovations - they are still going on -the roof was finished - the ceiling
in the garage and dinning room have been repaired - the dinning room has been
painted ( that room is our new computer/craft room).The walls in the hallway and entrance way have been repaired and painted.
We have the new kitchen cabinets - Allen is still staining them--and we have to move the
old computer/craft room to the new - but I have to wait until
Allen gets help because he hurt his back and he just cannot do it by himself!
So things are moving forward - but just a bit slower!!

Well for now - that is all the news fit to print -
I THANK YOU for stopping by
and staying in touch--leave a comment and let me know that you have stopped by - I look forward to hearing from you!
In the meantime - HUG those you LOVE - time is so short!
PEACE~!~
