Hi there..

Happy Friday to you and Happy Spring! I think it got to the low 70's yesterday and it's supposed to be even nicer today! woo hoo!!! i'm so psyched by that and the fact that its' FRIDAY!!! What a great way to end the week...

OK.. first thing... Check out PostSecret today when you can.. it's these amazing and very deep postcards, sent anonymously.. and the founder, Frank Warren posts them.. Well Naomi met Frank back in January and they were in talks for him to do a charity show at the Old Town Theater on May 25th... where she does her comedy show.. and the date is set.. the tickets are now available.. check out the postsecret website.. he mentions it and part of the proceeds go to National Hopeline Network. Honestly.. this whole show would not be possible if it wasn't for Naomi's courage.. of introducing herself and telling him about her show and following up.. She's worked really hard to make this a reality and now it's here! Go Girl! I'm proud of you!

Well I got to work early and chugged along on this project... stayed till 7ish.. I had anxiety that i couldn't get it done but somehow the day went better than I thought and I left work in a GREAT mood.. partially because I chatted with my great friend Phyllis from High School and also Kevin said some sweet things to me yesterday :) permagrin. I'm psyched to spend the weekend with him... not sure what our plan is but if it's nice.. we're outside!

Also found out that we have Good Friday off.. April 14th.. Kevin and I might go down to Ocean City for the weekend.. :)

I THINK.. my mom MIGHT be coming home from the hospital today.. I didn't talk to her yesterday but i talked to my sister.. I was planning on goign to visit her today after work, my mom that is.. but that is a great sign if she can come home! I hope the stomach virus is going away...

K.. I hope you have a good weekend.
onward and upward.

Hey ya'll.

gotta make this quick.. gotta get into work early.. i predict it's going to be a long day for me.. i have a deadline tomorrow and i was out yesterday afternoon.. the weather is getting nicer.. so that's good.. tomorrow it's supposed to be in the low 70's here! Woo hoo!! I'm looking forward to whatever Kevin and i decide to do outside.. go for a walk around the Tidal Basin to see the Cherry Blossoms maybe... :)

Been very panicky lately.. from the hours of 8:30-5:30... hard to focus on anything else..even when i'm home...

Yesterday I had what I thought was going to be the final installment of this medical study.. did all the tests.. got blood work done.. etc... supposed to have 2 MRI tests.. well first the mri computer crashed.. had to sit there for 20 minutes while it rebooted.. did the first test.. then they started another type of test that i was unaware about.. and i had a panic attack IN the MRI tube thing.. the three people there working with me weren't answering me when i asked them too.. and it made me freak out... whew.. that was very unnerving... got home by 5:30 though which was SO nice...

my mom is doing better.. well. the virus in her stomach is still there.. and they can't get her blood pressure/blood sugar to stabilize again.. ugh.. so they're not sure when she can leave the hospital.. i talked to her yesterday and she sounded tired.. my poor mommy. still.. MUCH better than last weekend so that is a blessing.

started having a sore throat last nite.. woke up with it today.. ugh.
so I'm going to be really busy today.. probably for the rest of the week.. but thank GOD it's thursday!!!

Hey there..

Tuesday.. come on Friday! I feel exhausted.... absolutely exhausted and all I want to do is go back to bed right now..

Good news is that my mom is doing MUCH better. wow. I left work early to go visit her and she is alert.. has color in her cheeks and is watching the Food Channel (always a good sign she's feeling better if she's talking about cooking and/or food) She actually left the ICU yesterday afternoon and has her own room now which is a great sign. She unfortunately has a touch of pneumonia from being so sick this weekend.. but the nurses said they're getting that taken care of...

Thank you all for your emails of support.. they meant a lot.

I feel like I'm slowly but surely retaining some semblance of what my house looks like when it's under control a bit more. I did a few loads of laundry yesterday.. and am making headway..

I don't want to write about it because it's the same 'ol same 'ol.. but I gotta get going to try to figure out where I want my career to go. What I want to do when someone says... "What do you do for a living?" It's funny.. when I say "I'm an interior designer.. I feel like an impostor.. I'm not a designer.. I'm a CAD operator.. I don't design anything.. I just follow orders.. and I feel like I"m not meeting my potential because of fear... honestly it's causing me a bit of anxiety lately, which is I think the reason why i'm so tired..

K.. gotta get going.. have a good day!

hey everybody.

how are ya? i gotta make this short.. my mom was taken by ambulance to the emergency room late friday nite.. and she's been in the ICU as of Saturday around 3:30ish... she's getting better but Friday and Saturday were NOT easy days for the Fox family... she has the stomach virus that is going around in the area..but because she's on so many medications.. her immune system is almost nothing.. so she got REALLY REALLY REALLY Sick.. and it was really kinda freaky to see your mom incoherent..

anyway.. i'll write more later.. i do not want to go to work today.. am exhausted.. feel so out of touch with my life... STILL have cleaning to do that i didn't do..

on a different note.. kevin and i spent a bit of time this weekend.. he came to the hospital with me friday nite into saturday.. i think this weekend shows that in a span of 2 days.. I definitely need my own space for a few hours every day... I'm so used to doing stuff by myself that I think i got a bit bitchy as of yesterday afternoon.. I mean.. under the circumstances.. i guess that's to be expected but still.. sigh...

more later. gotta get ready for work.

Mornin ya'll...

Friday thank goodness! Whew.. What to say... It's still cold out... brr. The cherry blossom festival starts tomorrow and they're not in full bloom yet.. poo on that.

Ok.. Can you keep a secret? OK.. My dad has been on a sabatacle for almost 6 years now (that's another story) He spends almost 30-40 hours a week volunteering for Habitat for Humanity. Like no pay. He even has his own Habitat Business Card.. He works with permits for the homes.. and the finances.. the zoning.. etc.. He has been very dedicated to this mission for years now.. Well Kristine told me that my dad is going to be honored as Volunteer of the Year.. and there is a ceremony.. on April 18th.. Well Kristine and I took the morning off from work so we can surprise my dad at the ceremony to support him... I hope he's surprised! I'm sad that my dad and I aren't as close as we once were.. but he still is a hero in my life and I want to be there to support him. So don't tell him if you see him... :)

I went to my friend Janets last nite for dinner and to catch up with Janet, and my friend Cathy.. and my friend Malena.. who I haven't seen in almost 2 years.. (has it really been that long?) Malena looked great.. sparkly as always..with a envigorating energy about her.. that makes me smile a lot. I did. She told us stories of her adventures.. and we told her a bit of whats going on with us. She got us little gifts that are awesome.. Janet made this AMAZING salmon dish (i'm really not much of a salmon person but MAN!!! I can't wait to try to make this dish on my own!!) I wish Malena still lived here.. maybe if she lived here she could help me jump start my temporarily distant faith that I wish came nearer...

This weekend Kevin and I are going to try to make it to the Smithsonian Kite Festival on the mall (I'm so bummed it's supposed to be really chilly) and then we might go see the movie The Story of the Weeping Camel at the Environmental Film Festival being held in DC. Sounds like a fun time. Sunday I'm going to the Drag Queen Brunch with my friends Scott and Stephanie.. and then Sunday nite.. I get to meet Kristine's new man!!! I can't wait to meet him!!!

Ok.. I"m runnin real late.. :) Have a great weekend!

Morning ya'll..

What's shakin? Thursday thankfully.. Wish it was Friday... I'm ready for the weekend... It's so cold.. where o where are the warm temperatures? I see daffodils blooming.. and the cherry blossom trees are blooming around here.. but the temperature doesn't match... poo on that.

I'm feeling a bit out of sorts this morning (u might be saying to yourself.. When DOESN'T she feel this way!! HA!! I laugh in my own general direction!) Things coming down the pike, with respect to the future of my geographic location... that has already begun to shake up my own comfort zone.. and I know I am about to come to a fork in the road shortly.. I will have only two choices... and I honestly would rather not take either.. but I will have to... which makes me uneasy and very unsure of how to proceed. I wish I could push this feeling away.. it is not a fun way to go into the day. Oh well. I will make that choice when the time comes.. I guess there's no sense worrying about it until it comes.. right? yea right... what's my name?

Making a very small dent in my laundry... I'm beginning to have pants to wear again.. I've been wearing skirts and dresses because all my pants have been in a pile (like most of my clothes still) It's too damn cold to be wearing skirts and dresses the past few days.. that's what happens when you dont' make laundry a priority!

I don't know if I told you this.. Kevin and I are going to Atlanta to visit my two awesome friends Liz and Matthew. We're flying down the end of April for a long weekend.. going to the new Aquarium.. and Matthew has tickets for us to go to an Atlanta Braves game.. I'm psyched to see Liz and Matthew.. it's been over 2 years since I've seen them.. I'm also a little nervous.. I hope this next month is filled with more amazing experiences with Kevin.. and not that he finds out that I'm not the kind of person he wants to continue hanging out with (my esteem issue.. I admit totally) I try to let it go.. stop overthinking and worrying about it.. and accept that what is to be..will be.

Tonite after work I'm going over to my friend Janets house for dinner.. My awesome awesome friend Malena is in town for a short period of time from Columbia!! I am excited to hear stories about Malenas trip.. and catch up on what's going on in our lives.

oh yea.. I totally forgot this.. I got a call from the company that hosts my website yesterday (they have a special and dropped the monthly fee $2.96/month! But I totally forgot that I have an email address for my website.. kerilyn@ancora-imparo.net is the email address.. I am so used to using AOL that I totally forgot! It was a nice surprise to remember.. I feel legit!

Wow.. I JUST got an email from my wonderful friend Danielle(thanks honey).. she said this quote made her think of me..

"What comes out of you when you are squeezed is what is inside you." -- Wayne Dyer

Makes me sad because I know I'm being squeezed right now.. and it feels like what is coming out is just fear. I don't want that to be the case.. I want it to be hope. Damn it.. I want it to be hope.

That's all for now... I hope you have a great day!

Hey there folks...

Wednesday? yea.. wednesday.. wish it was friday.. (who doesn't?) it was SNOWING last nite!!! UGH! Thank goodness it didn't stick.. or accumulate or anything.. but ugh.. it's not supposed to get above the average for this time of year, mid 50's for a while.. me no likey the cold.

Just complaining.. but JUST when i have a break in my work schedule.. i get 2 more jobs piled on.. lovely.

Dinner last nite with Kevin was really nice.. dinner was yummy.. and we just hung out and watched TV... insert permagrin here. I have to give myself BIG PROPS for not overanalyzing everything... and really going with the flow.. I'm kinda surprised with myself even..

Naomi's home from China.. I can't wait to hear about her trip! See pictures!

OK today is short and sweet.

Howdy...

Tuesday... I hope this week goes by quickly.. The weatherman said it was supposed to snow... um.. no snow.. (thank goodness) It's hard to prepare for the weather when we hear incorrect forecasts.. It is freezing and it is spring.. irony.

Yesterday I was in a good mood because i didn't have to stay at work all day.. and I THOUGHT that me running around like a chicken with my head cut off on friday would've paid off.. no. Had to totally redo a job yesterday before i left.. and had to revise 3 other jobs.. It's hard to enjoy what you do.. when your just running against a clock all the time....

So then I had the 2nd part of the medical study i was involved in.. It is a series of 3 MRI's (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) to study the levels of adrenylene and cortisol in the blood when under stress.. Try lying in a MRI tube for an hour when that loud banging is going off.. that's QUITE unerving.. Well when I was 11 I was in the hospital with pneumonia.. and as many of you know.. I have 5 metal staples in my lung.. The doctors told me that it should not affect them.. this big magnet.. and I don't know if its psychosomatic.. but I feel a bit sore on my right side.. a dull ache.. nothing significant.. maybe too many episodes of ER and Greys Anatomy have made me a bit paranoid. I was in the MRI scanner for an hour yesterday.. and next Wednesday.. I have to do it for 2 hours.. I will be asking for a break in between...When in there they flashed up on a screen letters that either made a word.. or letters that didnt' make up a word.. like FLASH or FASHL I had 2 buttons and had to hit one or the other depending on whether they were a word or not.. when I had a task to do.. it wasn't so bad... I have some homework to do.. some tests to take... but I have a week to complete them.

Tonite Kevin is making dinner... how nice is that? very.

Ok all.. I'm off.. I hope you have a good day..

Lookout!!! Lady in Limerance

Limerence is a term, coined in 1977 by psychologist Dorothy Tennov, which characterizes a "state of love" personified by a blending of passion, intrusive thinking, longing, uncertainty, and hope. The concept of limerence stems from Tennov’s research, beginning in the mid 60s, in which she interviewed, questioned, and surveyed over 500 people on the topic of romantic love. In doing so, she set out to understand and to quantify that variety of “passionate love” as described in Stendhal’s 1822 classic On Love wherein the concept of crystallization was developed.[1]

Limerence begins as a barely perceptible feeling of increased interest in a particular person, known as the "limerent object" [LO], but one which, if nurtured by appropriate conditions, can grow to enormous intensity. In most cases it also declines, eventually to zero or to a low level. At this low level, limerence is either transformed through reciprocation or it is transferred to another person who then becomes the new limerent object. Under the best of conditions the waning of limerence through mutuality is accompanied by the growth of the emotional response more suitably described as love.
Limerence, to note, is neither love nor sexual attraction; love, sexual attraction, and limerence can all exist without each other or any or all of them can coexist together. Limerence has relation to the terms: "having a crush", "infatuation", "puppy love".

Hey there.. Happy 1st Day of Spring everyone~!!!!!

It's Monday.. I feel good this morning... How are you all? It's sunny out.. that makes me happy.. what also makes me happy is today I get out of work early.. to go do part 2 of this medical study that I'm doing.

I had a great weekend.. spent practically the whole weekend with Kevin.. was really nice... we hung out.. went shopping..watched a really good movie.. "The Constant Gardener" went to get breakfast while reading the paper.. had dinner with my sister... It was nice.. really nice.

I had a bit of an emergency Friday nite.. was doing dishes that were WAY overdue to be done.. threw on the garbage disposal and all of a sudden the water started stopping up... oh man... so what did smart kerilyn do? think she can just push thru it and threw the disposal on again.. all i know is Pez my kitty girl RAN up the stairs... and I heard the sound of water hitting the ground in the basement... yea... somehow there was a backup and it started flooding the basement.. fun for me. I freaked out!! it's like 10pm on Friday nite.. Thankfully it was just enough water to make the floor wet but it stopped when i stopped the disposal.. what do I do now? I tried calling a 24 hour plumber.. but after 3 calls..they said that they couldn't get someone out.. Is that what a 24 Hour plumber IS? Well thankfully the toilet was not affected.. Yesterday I called a plumber at an extremely extremely exorbitant price.. and he came and fixed it.. The Garbage disposal hadn't been flushed out in he says years.. and it had deposits on it which made it more suseptable to clogging.. oh fun... He showed me how to flush the pipes.. all the pipes in the house..

I started cleaning my house yesterday afternoon... I still have copious loads of laundry to do (I didn't do the laundry because I thought I'd flood the basement.. ugh) and the bathroom needs to be tackled tonite... but I feel like i'm sorta getting a grip on my usual level of cleanliness... which makes me feel more calm..

Anyway all.. I hope you have a wonderful day..

Top of the mornin to ya...

Erin Go Bragh to ya! Happy St Pats Day.. :) Thank goodness.. it's FRIDAY.. whew.. this has been a LONG week for me.. when you get a significantly less number of hours sleep on average ... things seem to run together.. without a break... that's how I feel... I feel like i haven't stopped since before Mexico (i know.. I already told you that.. but I still feel that way)..

Work is still a bit harrowing.. yesterday our computers went down so it's been a bit frustrating..

Anyway.. tomorrow my sister and I have sisters day.. we meet to get our hair cut/colored/etc at noonish.. then we're going to hang out.. then Kristine, Kevin and I are going to meet for dinner.. Kevins coming! butterflies..!!! I hope we have a good time... :)

Sunday... is the day.. the 'do 25 loads of laundry.. wash the kitchen floors and completely sanitize the bathroom day... the 'get ready spring is coming' day.. the put on some good music and burn some incense.. dance around and clean.. it's go thru old magazines and throw them out day.. I need this day.. badly.

Ok.. I hope you have a good weekend.. I've been farting around this morning trying to find flights to Atlanta (Liz/Matthew.. I think we're coming the weekend of the game.. trying to find right time/$$$ - I'll call you tonite)

Keep truckin.

Hey..

OK I gotta knock this post out quickly.. I didn't write yesterday because I wanted to leave for work earlier.. traffic has been really bad lately.. and I did leave earlier.. and it made no difference.. ugh.. I do NOT like traffic (who does i know... well, the traffic report guy does) and lately I've been feeling like a bit ragey in my car.. I should get a book on tape... but come on! stop and go.. stop and go.. it's unnerving.

Naomi is on a plane on her way to Bejing, China right now as we speak.. She'll be there for a little under a week.. hopefully she'll come back with good pics.. we finally caught up somewhat last nite.. went out for dinner.. I hope she has a great time!

Nothing really exciting going on with me.. well besides hanging out with someone who makes me smile... everything else is status quo...

I wish it was Friday SO bad... ugh.. gotta get thru the next 2 days..

Sorry so short.. but I need to get ready... gotta sit in traffic... YEA!!!

Hey ya'll...

Where did my beautifully warm day go? Today the clouds are grayish brown.. and i hear it's a lot colder out there.. ugh. I want spring back.. I saw tulips blooming yesterday and some of the Cherry Blossoms are in full bloom! I hope it gets warmer cause a trip down to the Tidal Basin in DC to see the beautiful trees is a must!

Work is stressful..
Stress is self enduced i'm SURE of it.
Feeling panicky is my symptom of stress.
I don't like the way my life feels when I am panicking.
I don't feel together.
Feel like a new jigsaw puzzle in it's box.
ALL over the place. seriously.
When I feel this way.. my house is a reflection of that.
My house is a dirty mess.
I want to clean it (and get my life in order again)
but I'm so tired.. that I just go to bed.

Then there's another side....

Hanging out with someone..
"dating"
spending lots of time together..
feels so DAMN good inside my soul..
the chemicals.. override any panicky feeling i'm in. in other areas
of my life.
WEEEEE!!!!!
and when I"m around him.. I feel
like everything else doesn't matter.
I feel beautiful.. and sexy.. and desired...
the world (and my disheveled life) is not important.
New feeling for me.
and I'm really trying to enjoy it.

But eventually there will be the need for balance.
Balance the "dating" with the uncertainty of life.
balance it with the disenchantment of unrealized dreams and goals to date.
I know it's there now.. that need for balance..
I can feel it..
but I'm afraid that if I go into "clean this mess up!" mode.
then he will go away.. and I'll realize this HAS been a dream..

Anyway.. that's where I am...
I feel unsettled.. I mean I havent' even unpacked from Mexico
(i'm not kidding)
and the laundry! Damn! I need the BIG jug of detergent!

Oh and the gym... where did it go?
it's still there..
but this new experience of oogly googlies has taken precedence.. for the time being.
and I'm going to try not to beat myself up over it.

And Naomi's getting ready to move away.
I still don't want to REALLY face it..
maybe that's why we haven't REALLY caught up.
I don't know.. I really don't..
part of my puzzle.. not within close proximity.
don't know how to handle this...

My faith.. spirituality.
I try to tap into it..
and I become a cynic.. I can't surround myself with light.
Talk about a Magician losing his powers....
Do I know it's in my head. yes.
Does this shift in my faith make me sad.
I can't tell you how much...
How I wish someone would help me back onto the road that really...
made me happy, of wearing sparkles on my eyes (and IN my eyes)
and being able to REALLY express my beliefs.
without doubting their validity.. and presence in my life.
you know.. I say in the car.. "I'm just not sure I believe anymore"
when talking to God.... someone to extend a hand so I can, once again..
feel like theres a point to all this confusion...
day in and day out..

There's more.. but now I have to get ready for work..
So just so you know where i am..
I'm here.

Hey everyone..

Monday.. ugh.. but today it's supposed to get to 83 degrees!! Holy Cow!!! I hope hope hope that I don't have to work late and I can enjoy the evening.. Hope your weekend was good.. Mine was good.. tiring but good.

Went to St Pats festival thing on Saturday with my date Kevin.. (Kerilyn has permagrin) it wasn't too exciting but it was nice spending time with Kevin and his friends.. Then we went to Naomis Comedy show.. She's such a natural.. and there were lots of people there which is awesome! Yesterday I went to volunteer at National Bldg Museum.. I was so tired though... had a bit to drink on Saturday and stayed up late.. so I was kinda out of it yesterday.. Tried to go to bed early last nite... to no avail..

My house needs some serious cleaning.. it's beyond my level of dirtyness.. but I'm so tired..(and would rather spend time with Kevin) that nothing has gotten done.. This week at work I'm already a bit nervous about.. we're down one designer (sad to see her leave) and I'm busy! I really don't want to stay late this week.. especially with the weather being so nice..sigh.. we'll see.

I've been so busy that I haven't really spend any time with Naomi in weeks.. it's very weird to me.. we're like passing in the nite.. Her mom and mom's boyfriend are visiting.. but we haven't had any time to catch up really.. and now she's getting ready to sell her side of the house.. and move away... I'm really sad.. but happy for her.

Ok.. that's about it for now.. I hope you have a good week.

Thank GOODNESS it's Friday!!! Amen!!!

My weekend is a full one starting tonite... so I don't know when I'll be catching up on rest/sleep from my trip to Mexico... but i'm still glad it's the weekend! Yesterday the weather was absolutely fabulous! It was in the mid 60's in the afternoon.. so lovely! I could soak it in.... come on Spring!!!

Work is busy.. ugh.. and then our server/internet went down so we couldn't get/send email to anyone all afternoon.. It came back up right before I went home so that's good! I'm going to be BUSY today! whew!

Had another great date last nite.. :) Kerilyn has permagrin. I'm trying hard to relax and not overthink everything..I have a BIG tendency to do so... tomorrow afternoon we are going to a St. Pats Festival .. it's not my usual bag (baby) but I'm trying to think out of the box.. then we're going to Naomi's Comedy Show that nite... permagrin again...

Ok all.. I hope you have a great weekend... it's supposed to be in high 60's.. maybe hit 70.. i'd LOVE that!

My how time flies...

it's already the 9th of March.. whew.. Just a week ago.. at this time I was on a plane for Mexico.. crazy how fast the time goes by... in just a few blinks of an eye.. it'll be summer.

I'm still not caught up on my sleep... still feel a bit tired.. difficult to get up but I feel a bit better...

I thank you all that wrote nice comments on my pictures.. I would love to get into photography more.. maybe down the road I will. I used to carry my camera everywhere.. now I just carry my IPod..

Been a busy week for me since I got back.. well it feels like it anyway.. it's busy at work.. and this weekend I'm really busy too.. so who knows when Kerilyns going to rest.. I already have half of next weekend planned.. :)

OH yea.. I have to tell you this... I loved my 6th grade teacher, Ms. Higgins.. she was awesome.. she taught us about hawks, eagles and turkey vultures.. When I got out of the hospital.. (was in there for 2 months) Ms. Higgins came to my house that summer and tutored me so I wouldn't have to stay back.. I'll never forget that.. Well I've been thinking a lot about her this past year.. well, I thought of her now and again ever since I was 11... and so I found out her address.. and wrote her.. Gave her my business card in the letter.. Well while I was in Mexico.. she wrote me back! And she's living a very spiritual life.. one that I'm a bit envious of i'll admit.. I'm sure the universe was probably pulling me to want to contact her.. I'm excited about rekindling a connection with someone who knew me as a child.. and could possibly now get to know me as an adult (in training). Cool huh?

Anyway ya'll.. have a good day.. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that it's so sunny out so much earlier and later in the day.. it makes me happier in my soul..

Hey everyone....

What's goin on? Wednesday.... wish it was Friday.. but I'd take Thursday even.. I am so very happy to say that it's getting lighter earlier.. and staying lighter longer... it makes me very happy to see that.. means warmer weather is ahead..

Yesterday was tough getting up.. whew.. and the change back to cold weather.. man.. Bring back the 85-90 degrees... I felt really quiet yesterday at work.. didn't even listen to my little radio... I think it would've been to much of a distraction.. I needed to focus..

I miss my Pez girl a lot.. I'm going to my parents house to go get her on Friday nite.. I haven't seen her in 2 weeks.. it's weird not having her around here.. I am not liking it much...

I added some more Pictures last nite.. I have more to add but I was busy last nite... haven't done anything with respect to unpacking.. settling in... feel a bit out of sorts in the house still... eh.. I'll settle in when I settle in.. Had a great date last nite.. settling in can come later..

I have to be at the airport tomorrow at 4AM!!! it's going to be a long day for me today.. I'm not sure i should even sleep tonite.. it's an hour to the airport.. we'll see.. tonite I want to get a pedicure.. and I want to get another memory card for my camera.. that's the goal.. I PRAY PRAY PRAY that today is not as crazy as the past week and half has been at work and I maybe can cut out early.. eh.. we'll see.. I surmise that might not be the case..

First off.. Happy Birthday Angela!!!

Secondly.. AMEN!!! ALLELUIAH!!! My land line phone works again!!! After 2 weeks of no phone.. many disgruntled phone calls to the phone company.. I came home last nite and plugged the phone in... with anticipation i pressed 'talk' and to my surprise... a dial tone!!! I'm happy because now all my Tivo Shows will be recorded (WOO HOO!!!)

So I will not be writing till next Tuesday... I know... you'll all miss me dearly, don't worry.. I'll hopefully have some exciting stories.. even relaxing stories to tell you.. and hopefully many photos to show you...My goal for this "vacation" is to TRY to give my brain a rest from overthinking.. just lay like broccoli (Pretty woman reference) and maybe come up with some new ideas for cards... journal.. collage (i'm bringing my glue stick) we'll see.

Oh.. I really am intrigued by the show Number 1 Single ... Lisa Loeb (singer,funky girl) has a dating reality show.... She's such a beautiful woman.. and definitely up my alley with her style.. but.. she's always so made up... her makeup.. hair.. affluent lifestyle.. that I'm curious about the show to see who she REALLY is... she seems really cold... and cynical (not that I am.. LOL!!! I'm LAUGHING!!!) that it kinda pulls me in..

Ok... that's all for today.. I can't tell you how much happier I feel that I dont' have to be concerned about the phone anymore.. it's like a load has lifted!!! Thankfully!

Have a great week and greater weekend!
onward and upward.
