Day 1 and Day 2 and...I decided to do Day 3 as well!

Well, just in case you didn't know, I'm Deidra!  I don't really go by anything other than that...although there are a few people who call me Dee...and a lifelong friend who calls me by the nickname my mother gave me as a kid!  And kids I'm close to in my life call me Dee Dee.  And depending on the day, my best friend may call me smart or dumb!  (I have my moments!)  But usually, I'm just Deidra.  And if you can't get my attention, yell Deidra Faith.  I'll turn around! 


(That's me on the right...and that's Shanda on the left...that's my forever friend!  Hmmm...I just came up with that...and I like it!)

15 facts about me???  Really?  Can I even come up with 15??

  1. I'm adopted. 
  2. I love photography.  I wish I was better at it though.
  3. I wish I had a dog.  Snoodles, who really is my dog, lives with Mom and Dad cause I couldn't bring her with me when I moved (plus I think my dad would have killed me).  I miss having a dog to pet everyday...someone who's excited to see me no matter what I've done that day.
  4. If I ever get married and have children (becoming more unlikely the older I get), I already have names picked out for my children!
  5. I love Welch's Fruit Snacks!  They're my favorite!
  6. I say hi to my fish everyday when I come home.  It's as close to a dog as I'm getting for awhile!
  7. I'm right-handed.  But I tie my shoes with my left.  I have no idea why. 
  8. I LOVE scary movies.  I just can't watch them by myself. 
  9. I am super excited about carving pumpkins this coming week!  I haven't done it since I was a kid!
  10. I have to sleep with my covers up around my neck.  I have to be all snuggled in!  As snug as a bug in a rug!
  11. I save certain letters and cards from people...for those bad days when I need to be encouraged.
  12. It's been a very long week and a half...just sayin.
  13. I'm a little disappointed in myself that I won't get my 32 in 60 days list done...UGH.
  14. I'm a lot more emotional than people think and people will never see that.
  15. I love movies!  I'll watch just about anything!  Anyone have a suggestion of a good movie I need to see?
Since I'm on a roll...let's move on to day 2.  I'm behind!  I've got catching up to do!

My blog name: Inside Deidra's Head.  It's pretty simple.  When I started this blog, it was just to give people an idea of what I was thinking...whether it was important or not.  I had to back off of that some awhile ago and so I'm not nearly as open as I used to be.  But I'm slowly getting back to a place where I'm comfortable and I can be a little more open.  Some days there's a million things going on in my head and this is a way to relieve a little of that pressure. 

You know what???  Let's do Day 3 too!!!

My first love: writing.  I remember my mom giving me a paper when I was little and me trying to write words on it.  And as I got older, I'd write all of the words I knew how to spell.  I started writing books when I was about 10.  And yes, I still have some of them...and no, you'll never see them!  I wrote books (for my own eyes only) up until about 2 1/2 years ago.  I'm not sure why I stopped...I just know my imagination doesn't seem to work the same.  I know the last time I attempted to write like that, it ended up being more about things I was going through and that's not what I wanted.  So now I just write...letters to people, in my journal A LOT, and on here when I get a chance.  I've always been a better writer than I am a talker (even though I love to talk).  So if you really want to know how I feel, ask me to write it.  I'll pour my heart out to you. 

Did you think I was going to talk about my "first love" as in a guy???  Ha ha!  I tricked you!!!

I can not wait to get to know you better! Dogs are the best! I do not know what I would do without mine!

I wonder if you tie your shoes with your left because that is how a right handed person teaching you would look?

I watch NO scary movies. Ever.

Change the title of your 32 in 60 to 32 in 160 and the pressure is off :-)

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?
