What a Show Off

Published on July 10, 2010 in Gratitude Journal. 10 Comments Tags: .

I got a beautiful box in the mail with some of the sweetest little duck stuff in it. One thing included in the box was a t-shirt that says “Popduck.” Of course I swooned over it because its red and has a little duck on it.  When I looked at the size I realized there was no way my body would fit in it so I sat back and thought to myself, what can I do with this shirt? Ah, I’ve got it, I need a laundry bag. So to my sewing box I went. I grabbed a needle and red thread and began to sew the arms shut. I then trimmed the extra sleeve off and sewed up the bottom. After that I added draw strings to the neckline of the t-shirt and added a blue bow to the ducks head. This is how the t-shirt laundry bag turned out.

I think it’s adorable. (insert happy clap)

Oh, and, yes, I was triflin enough to fill it with laundry then take a photo. It is, after all, a laundry bag.

I just had to show off my new laundry bag and my new artwork. Go see, go see! What are you waiting for? Why are you still here?  I finished this one today.

Why I Like Mary Jane

Published on July 9, 2010 in Gratitude Journal and Pets. 1 Comment Tags: .

I’m a dog person through and through but somehow I like my cat more than I like my dog. Yeah, I know, how did that happen?

MJ is very much like a dog in that she follows me around and comes when I call her. Just like a pup she’s a greedy little something who would eat all day long if I let her. The most cat that’s in her is how she takes care of her fur and refuses to get it dirty. She keeps the dog in line with a few swipes to the nose, usually because he’s come in from outside smelling bad and she doesn’t want her fur messed up. To see her lift her big furry paw is the funniest thing ever. I think Gus licks her just cause he thinks its funny. I think it’s funny too.

MJ is four years old, 12 pounds and a ball of love. She likes to be held and sleeps on my pillow and purrs in my ear. She even tries to clean my face from time to time with her extra rough sandpaper tongue. That’s not so helpful but it’s the gesture that counts right?

The Cage Fight

Published on July 9, 2010 in Depression, PTSD and Therapy. 0 Comments

Dr. D and I talked about my how much I learned about life after I left home. I had no idea children in high school didn’t pay rent while living at home. I had no idea adult children at home live with their parents rent free. I guess because I paid rent in high school and after that everyone paid rent to their parents and that nothing at all was free, ever. I didn’t know this until DJ moved back in with his father. This whole free living thing blows me away. I’m confused by it I think.

Burning In My Tongue While I Sleep

Published on July 7, 2010 in For the Record and Medical. 3 Comments

I had to look this up because once again I woke this morning to sharp pains in my tongue. Sometimes the pain is just on one side, other times its on both sides. It feels like burning and is intense enough to jar me awake. I had to look this up because it’s happened several times now.

Two Responses, One Goal

Grace: You did what?! What were you thinking?!
Me: I don’t know.
Grace: But why? Why!
Me: I don’t know.
Grace: Why?!
Me: Sabotage and self destruction.
Grace: Ah, there it is, there it is right there. I thought so.

I Love You

Published on July 3, 2010 in Art Therapy, Emotions, Grief Sadness Loss and Relationships. 0 Comments

My sister use to tell me, “I know you’ll make me regret telling you I love you.” I’m not sure what that meant. Maybe she meant because she loved me she made herself vulnerable or that despite the fact that she loves me she knew I’d eventually mess up badly enough to make her regret the gesture. However she meant it, what I heard is, I’ll regret loving you.

Since when does a 6th grader say to a 4th grader that they know they’ll regret loving?
How does that even come up in everyday conversation between grade school children? Shouldn’t we have been playing will dolls or busting up our knees on roller skates instead of discussing the expiration date of affections?

Gmail Account Temporarily Disabled

Published on July 3, 2010 in For the Record. 0 Comments

I have no idea why gmail account has been disabled. If you attempt to contact me via that email it won’t go through. I apologize for the inconvenience and hope to have this resolved soon. Of course I’m totally panicked because this address is attached to everything under the sun(drip). I don’t know what to do!!!!!!

For those of you who know me, my private email still works.

If anyone knows what to do for me to get this corrected please let me know. I am simply beside myself.

Faith

UPDATE: I got an email from The Google Team saying this issue has been resolved. I filled out the form on the 4th of July and got my account back July 9th, 2010.  This issue was resolved quickly. I filled out the form just once and left them alone/held my breath, fretted, etc.  Thank goodness Google got it done.

If this happens to you fill out the help form then go to the forum and post a help request.  As hard as it’ll be, wait a bit and it should get resolved. I’ve heard on the forums that Google won’t fix it but my experience with them has always been positive. Fill out the form, give it some time and hope for the best.

I got my business email address back. I couldn’t be happier.
