hey everyone...

another monday huh? well i guess we can approach this monday with dread.. or we can be happy we have homes, jobs that provide us with food, that our animals are safe... etc... we are blessed...

my old roomie.. Kristen from West Virginia University.. surprised me Friday nite saying that she wants to come down for Art on the Avenue on October 1st. What an AWESOME surprise!! I hope she can come. (Kriss.. you think you can come down? It'll be a WVU reunion of sorts...well it won't be the same without Lisa..)

Saturday i got my hair cut and colored and highlighted.. see pic... i LOVE it!!! it's shorter.. funkier cut and DEFINITELY more healthy! I spend 3 hours in the chair getting this look.. and I enjoyed it so much. My sister sat with me.. keeping me company.. I had a great day with her! I am so happy that as we get older.. that we are growing closer and closer.. it just makes me so happy.

Naomi and I had our yard sale yesterday.. LOL!! It was a bust for the most part.. I made 20 bucks and Naomi made 4... We sat outside starting at 9AM.. maybe 5 people came by.. it was a nice way for her and I to catch up.. and relax.. enjoy being outside of our awesome houses.. but after a while.. ugh.. got a bit boring. Naomi's friend Cherie came over.. we had a great spiritual talk... I think I 'get it' a bit more.. what our challenges are trying to teach us.. It really is fear.

I want an IPOD for christmas. (Random thought)

OK... LESS than 2 weeks left for the BIG DAY!!! I am working toward my goal every day, and WILL accomplish 300 cards! I ordered the plastic protectors for the cards yesterday, should get them this week sometime.

Back on the fear thing.. I'm still trying to 1. sell my car.. 2. work thru the fear of buying my first car/first purchase of anything significant.. This morning.. on my morning show i watch on TV.. she said.. "Do it afraid".. that kinda struck me.. We choose to NOT do SO MUCH because we are afraid.. but who KNOWS what could happen if we did it anyway?? I really feel like pushing thru this experience and saying i'm going to 'do it afraid'. The only way I'm going to know how to do it.. is to do it. I am predicting that in the next 4 weeks (hopefully 2) I will be driving a new car. A Volkswagon Jetta. I've listened to everyone's advice... about VW and their problem.. now it's time to listen to my own advice.

ok peeps.. it's time to go to work. I hope that Sara Cruley at the Art Institute of Washington got my card! Fingers crossed!

have a great day.
onward and upward.
