Still Learning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so Rosemary and Jana are experts at this blogging thing. I'm a beginner, a virgin as it may be in this internet journalling world. Hmm, kind of a scary thought wouldn't you say?? But I have to learn how to come on into the blog and put down thoughts on a REGULAR basis so as not to worry others on why I haven't been on lately.


It was a grueling week but I made it through yet again. I didn't have enought time to read most of my emails let alone blog...... But the fun yesterday with Miss RO really helped put the icing on the cake.


This 2008 has been one of many changes for me. But all in all it's taking a turn for the better. I am embracing the changes, both good and bad, as best I can. I think I'm doing rather well at it but others may disagree. And that's their prerogative but I don't really care. Tee, heeee. I'm taking "my time" and learning that I don't have to settle for what others want me to do. A few folks have said "you need to make your own decisions and do what YOU need to do and not what you think others want you to do!" Kind of profound. I'm listening now. Yoga is teaching me to "take time for myself and listen to the inner me". Did you know it's ok to do that? It's great when you actually start practicing things for yourselves. I think it's taken me a long time to get to this place in my life but I've also had time to reflect on what I want out of life lately. It may not be perfect but it's my life. And today, I like it! Now that's not to say tomorrow will be the same. Ha, ha. But I sure hope so. It's moving in the right direction anyway and that's a very good direction.


So, now out of the deep thoughts and into the fun and relaxation things we need to help us through reality!!!!! Ok, RO & JANA when are we gonna get together and scrap some more??? I need another fix before the next GASC 2009. We gotta figure this one out. My schedule's a little crazy what with trying to get lasik done on my eyeballs (did you see those old glasses in the last post---it's like something out of the 90s or something!!!! OMG they are!!!!), new stuff at my new job (I LOVE IT & I did make the right move at the right time too!!!!!), getting ready to take an adorable class at my Hagerstown LSS for Spooky Day (oh so cute, it's the castle done up spooky with Cousin Itttt and witches and goblins...), going to OC for a weekend Celena to scrappppppp away (Yippeeeeeeeeeeeeeee), and then going to FL to see my family at both Turkey Day (sorry Rosemary next year I will come to your house!!) and Christmas this year. That makes me the trouble maker because I've got the rest of my year planned out and won't be able to make a scrap til early 2009 unless we can fit it in between all those things. Probably not happening wiht your schedules either but it's a nice thought!!!!! Maybe sometime in the winter when the weather cooperates and we can drive to a central place and play. Think about it. Rosemary mentioned it again yesterday and I love the idea!!!


Ok so no posts for a week and now you got two in a day. I'm trying!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha, ha, ha!


Keep your fingers crossed for me. I go for my third appointment on my eyes on Tuesday (it will be 12 days without contact lenses in eyes - yuck!!) to see if verdict is lasik or prk. But last Monday at least the doc said we could do one or the other. I'm hoping for lasik -- faster recoup period and less obtrusive to the eyes. But they will both work and are both alternatives to my bad eye sight.


Have a GREAT week!!!

You're a braver woman than I am, K. I get all squeamish about somebody touching my eyes. However, the trade off of perfect vision and never the need for glasses or contacts is pretty enticing. I hope it goes swimmingly and you get what you want.

You're making a journey of discovery this year, we all seem to get one of those a couple of times in our lives. Riding along with it and learning what you need and don't is a great opportunity (remember the old saying - opportunity and wisdom are what you get when you don't get what you want). You are going to get what you want.

It's hard to change. it's like walking out your front door and there are holes every where. Sometimes you do this great job of stepping around them and sometimes you bounce out the door and straight into one. But most of the time you remember where the holes are and you are avoiding more each and every day.

Well done posting, Karen, well done!

Now go write some more....

YEAH for you. You are a GREAT person. And fun to boot. You deserve to get what you want.

Good for you.

Now about getting together to scrap, I have NO IDEA when either. NOV and DEC are out. Too many family obligations. I am going on a cruise in FEB, so I would feel guilty doing something like that in JAN or MAR. APR is a possiblity, as is MAY. Then we are into JUN....
