I Wanna be 9 Again...

On my 9th birthday, as I blew out the candles on my cake, I wished to be 9 FOREVER.  I wasn't one of those kids who wanted to grow up.  Cause I knew the facts...that was the life!!!  No bills.  Toys.  No teenage angst.  Life was good.

And here I am, 32, and paying $3.59/gallon for some dang gas!!!  Yes, this bothers me.  Because ultimately, there's not a whole lot I can do about it.  I could start walking to some places, but not every place I need to go.  I can quit driving across town sometimes but not all of the time.  I mean, really, I need the car...which means I'll need to buy gas...which means other things won't get bought because at $3.59/gallon, there isn't a ton of money left over for much else!  When I saw the gas prices go up the other night, I huried over to our Super Walmart and their gas station...even though I didn't need gas yet.  Gas there was only $3.34 so I filled up.  But I know I'll need gas again...and probably have to pay the $3.59.  It's just ridiculous really.  I just needed to get that out there!  :-)

I am loving my Nook.  Have I mentioned that??  I didn't read it too much for about 2 weeks because I had an actual book I wanted to read.  I should do a review of that book cause man, was it good!  Maybe I'll do that later!  Anyway...but now I'm back to reading on the Nook.  E-Readers are a beautiful invention.  Wish I had thought of it cause I'd be rich right now!  (And $3.59/gallon wouldn't bother me quite as much!)  But instead, I'm helping make these people rich.  I'm ok with that.  I love being able to take it anywhere.  It doesn't take up much space.  I'm not ruining pages of my books or the bindings (that drives me nuts for some reason).  I don't need a bookmark!  I love it!!  I highly recommend the Nook.  I've heard great things about the Kindle too but since I only have the Nook, I can only speak on that.  I love being able to see the covers in color at the bottom of my Nook.  I love the wifi connection.  I just love it all!  It was well worth the investment! 

I've got a few errands to run this morning.  I actually decided to take some time out though and have breakfast at Panera and enjoy some reading and writing.  But I've been here long enough now.  So I'm going to get these errands taken care of and head home.  It's a beautiful weekend!  Perfect for reading, listening to the MP3 player and reminding myself that spring will soon be here!!!

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?
