What's New - Sunday!
Good morning to you, Laureen and my other sweet OFF family.
It sure sounds like you had a wonderful time, Laureen. I love that you had so many WOW moments. One never has to many of those great things.
Today is the dreaded day at church. I have to get up and announce to the church that Pastor is leaving. I just hope that I can get through it without blubbering like a baby. For 2 reasons~I don't want to look like a fool in front of all those people and I am having a terrible time breathing because of the stuffy nose and so that would not be a pretty picture. I knew this was going to happen but it still feels like it just hit me in a vulnerable spot. And I guess it is like the death of a loved one~no matter how you know it is going to happen are you ever really prepared for it? I know I am not. I got my announcement all done up on paper so I don't forget anything. You all know me! Lady Forgetful.
The sun is out and it looks so pretty out. I am a bit on the cold side this morning but I think it is this icky stuff that is starting on me. I think most of it has settled in my sinuses because I have the headache to beat the band and I am so stuffy. Even my teeth ache and so that is one of my signs. I had to have one tooth pulled a few years ago because of my sinus'. I wish went God made our bodies He would have done something different with the sinus cavities. They are just such a pain in my butt!
Misty is laying over by the patio door and it looks like she is working on taking a morning nap. I know that she is probably up all night doing her kitty stuff and then she is MIA a lot of the time during the day. I wish that she would become more human like (or God forbid more dog like) and sleep at night like we do and then be up during the day. There is times that she does do that and then she just lays on the back of the couch and watches out the door and she gets up on our laps and just in general does kitty stuff. She is just a sweetie and I love her so much. She has certainly grown on both of us. But then if you wait long enough so does fungus.
I guess I had better get to moving. I have to get ready for church and that takes more time the older I get. haha I am praying that you all have a wonderful and blessed day today. I am sending lots of
and plenty of big old 
(that was the best one I could find for hugs) to all today. I am keeping each and every one of you all in my 
and with special ones going up for those in need of them. Have a great day because this the day that the Lord has made and let us be happy and rejoice in it.

that tells what kind of life you have lived.
hi brenda!!!! just sitting here LMAO @ this...."wish went God made our bodies He would have done something different with the sinus cavities. They are just such a pain in my butt!" LMAOOOOOO i didn't know you had sinus cavities in your butt....lol i am sorry for LOL but it struck me so dam funny!!! you know leave it to me to find it amusing!!!! (hope you are feeling much better dear sweet brenda!!!)
hugs
It does my heart good to hear that there are people who are up and about and enjoying life and being active.... just feels better thinking that there is a light at the end of the tunnel...
I tried getting in my truck yesterday... I am just so unhappy sitting in this house alone that it is making me crazy (ier) ... but after a lot of pain and grunting and groaning I had to give up.... just could not get the knee to bend enough to get my leg in the truck.... My PT came later on and was flabbergasted that I even tried, but that's easy for her since she isn't trapped in the #*&@#$ house!!
Still no job prospects.... can't work anyway but am looking just in case something pops it's head up... I am seriously considering working for myself again.... I did it once before for over 6 years and survived ok....
So I guess nothings new today... I will try and work a little in the shop again today....
Hope everyone had a great Sunday

Marc,
There's nothing like being forced to be home because of things we have to endure, but hey, let your body heal itself, make some of those great pens you are so good at doing! Now there's a way to maybe earn a few dollars? Hope you mend up quickly so that you can get on with your life. . .
Hugs, L

My Mantra is that I do not determine my success by the number hanging in my closet, nor will I let the scale determine that success either. . . It is through trial and error I will continue to grow and succeed. . . Laureen

hello ! laureen- you look awesome!! and i love reading your wows!!!
finally got my lazy butt outta bed- and i don't feel like moving! worked in the garage for hours yesterday- sore as heck....i'll live!!!
michael spoke with his (texas) daughter yesterday-she finally got her electricity back- she's been taking cold showers at home-still had water thank goodness!) but her daughters had been showering at a friends'...so a week of inconvenience only for her-i still don't know about any damage sustained in teh house she recently moved from- i am curious but oh well...
life here is interesting-and i don't really want to freely talk about alot of it but there are some changes coming in the air i can feel them...i have an opportunity before me that i would love-absolutely love- to take advantage of however it wuld mean remaining here in this house or at least in this community for at least another year ( and if it worked out-forever)and i just cannot make that commitment..so i am sad..a chance i could possibly never get again...down side to changes is that i am having to not do some other things which are passions of mine and that bothers me...and these two do not coincide with each other even....
tomorrow we go back to 4 hour work days- i hate it...must find something else -something i can do from home maybe??haha!!!
have been in contact with a very prominent local realtor( they are the only ones who seem to be selling-aggressive advertising budget)) and probly will meet with her this week..house won't sell if no one knows it's available!
need to get some protein in and get self dressed and face the day..oh and laundry to do or can't even go to my 4 hour work day!!
hugs and prayers

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Margo,
Unless the commitment you have to make is going to take $$ out of your pocket to do it, go for it. If it is school of some sort and you have to make that commitment, I'm not sure I would, but if it's some sort of job that you could work with and learn and get paid for it while it's happening, I'd be jumping on that in a heartbeat.
You've vascillated and not done things that probably would have benefited you in the past. Try a different line of thinking.

oh i wish i could--i agree with you that i have let things-opportunities go--no--this would be opening a store!!!! but- i would have to commit to staying in this arrea and that is where the difficulty lies--not even in getting the front money , which of course takes money out of my pocket------the commitment to stay here--which we do not want to do...
i have applied for a few jobs that would mean going a tad out of my comfort zone-but not somewhere that i haven't ventured before--those i would welcome right now!!! and one of them is geographically half way between where we are now and where we'll probly move to so would be ok!
but thanks for the pep talk!! i do need that !!!!!

Margo,
While ideas of being an entrepreneur are romantic and fun to think about, at best. This economy is not the time no matter the place. Unless you have enough money to live, forget about the commitment, it's a killer. Been there, done that.
If you can get out of the box into something you might enjoy and it has benefits, it might be your ticket. I know you are in a different living climate than we are hear as our economy is flourishing and employment is rampant. No reason here for anyone not to find a job.
I hope you find what you are looking for. Being depressed about the finances is the pits.

the romance is one thing--and the task is what i studied in school for and have tried to live for years and years pre michael...but the reality is that our economy here( nor our checkbook!) could not support it so i have to be the realist and say no...
finding a "job" right now isn't really so awful going into the holidays everybody is putting on help--hours suck and wages are pretty disgusting--it's just getting out there and doing it!! knowing that we want to move; i am looking for a "job" not a career necessarily!
we have a realtor coming weds to look over the house so i am cleaning-uggggh--was in such better shape a few years ago when we listed--this time i really want out of here...even more than before and i thought i was dedicated to it then!!!! .we need to move forward to living again!

Where I am working now we are agressively hiring new people. Why? because they promote from within....plus after a year you can transfer to one of their other office around the US or internationally....I can't belive the difference in this job (the people) and the one I had before......this job is heaven sent....
