It's Been One of Those Days...ALL WEEK!

So, it's been a...week. That's what I usually say when I have no other way to describe something. And that's what it's been like this week. Last weekend, I was so excited! My best friend had her baby...an adorable little boy! My two favorite teenage girls got baptized last Sunday!! That was so exciting! Then came Monday...

It wasn't a bad day I'd say. Ended up being busy. But that was ok. The week just seemed to come to almost a stand still. All of the excitement was gone. In the afternoon, Shanda let me know that they were having to stay in the hospital another day because Kale was jaundice. No, it's nothing critical but it broke her heart. And I hated to see her so upset. While reading Bryan's blog on Mon. afternoon, it came to my attention the situation at Virginia Tech. (I had been at work since 6:20am so I had no idea what was going on outside of our room.) I immediately got onto Yahoo and started looking things up. The whole thing was almost too devistating to believe. And the news just kept getting worse and worse. You can't be excited about much of anything after that.

Work has been work. Lots of attitudes going around. Seems like there's more unhappy people than there are happy people around there most days! And it's frustrating.

All of that has put me in a "mood." Not a bad mood. Just a mood. Ya know what I mean? Just lots of thinking. Of course I've goofed off some...wouldn't be me if I hadn't. But I just feel blah, ya know what I mean?

So I got my hair done tonight. Figured that would help! Sometimes just doing something "girly" helps! I had to wait a little to get it done. But that was ok. I managed! ;-) I got highlights! I haven't had highlights in quite awhile and I haven't had them done professionaly in forever! (I usually just do them myself...cheaper that way.) But my friends works at a salon so I went in and had it done tonight. Hoping the lighter hair...newer look...will rub off on me some! But since I didn't get done til 10:00pm (my appointment was later in the evening), I just came home. No one saw it. Didn't do anything in it..which is good since I was dressed like a bum basically!

It's supposed to be a beautiful weekend! Warm temps which means I can bust out the flip flops! So I'm hoping between the beautiful weather, the flip flops, the highlights and me planning to grill on Sunday, things will start to turn around! I really do think I need a vacation...a real vacation. I think a few days of just NOTHING will help. I know I'm tired! But that won't be happening for awhile so I just need to take a few little things in life and enjoy them! So that's my plan for the weekend!

New Year, New Me

New year, new me. Who says that? Ok, a lot of people so no offense if you’re one of them.  But I like me. Sure, I’m not perfect. But I don’t want to really change all of me.  So no silly quote like that for me! It is hard to believe that 2019 is here. The older I get, the quicker time flies by.  I do remember being told that when I was a teenager.  Those people were so right.  It feels like yesterday that I was sitting in my quiet house while Johanna was off with friends celebrating the start of 2018.  But that was a year ago.  Today, I’m still sitting in my quiet house but that’s because Karyna is just waking up for the day.   A few years ago, I used to work on videos that would highlight my year.  I loved doing them but they took time.  And that’s time that I don’t have as much of these days.  It’s hard to go through a year of pictures and videos.  Do you know how many pictures I take a year?  My goodness!...

Friday Follow

How come when it's time to do the Friday Follow, I have nothing interesting to say??? Hmmmm...it's been a long week.  Days where things just didn't make sense.  Lots I need to process.  It's possible that all of my thinking will lead to a great post this weekend.  But for now, I just hope all of you new visitors find something interesting to read from other posts here.  I plan to spend this rainy weekend doing some thinking, relaxing, watching movies and checking out new blogs!  Sounds like a good way to spend the weekend, right?  :-)  Thanks for stopping by!

New Cards!!!

So between resting this weekend (cause my allergies kicked my butt...especially yesterday), I worked on making some cards.  It's been SO long since I've actually spent time doing something like this and I LOVE making cards!  So I wanted to share them with you.  I made 20 cards total.  2 each of 10 designs.  So now there's two sets of friendship cards.  I think I'm going to try to sell one set.  Then I think give the other set away.  I'm just not sure how.  Any ideas?  I'm thinking if you leave a comment about the cards you'll be entered to win.  If you buy one set of cards, you'll also be entered to win.  Hows that sound?
