Other Peoples Stuff

I got my car back yesterday. It was in the shop getting a new transmission. Luckily I could drive my sons car. But it's so different driving someone elses car. I'm going out today, everywhere! I was thinking about other peoples stuff. Using or borrowing other peoples stuff. Can you do it? Or borrow it? George Carlin talked about stuff. We all have stuff. Some stuff we need & some stuff we don't need. So we get rid of stuff. Thrift stores(then I buy your stuff) or yard sales. Be careful of what you give to your family because you might get their stuff back again.
So it only cost me $2000 to get my car fixed but now I have my own stuff back.
Happy Driving!

Rearranging

I was in my basement the other day( where all my "stuff" is) thinking I need more room. I can switch rooms but it would be a lot of work. If I do then I should get serious about my leather.But I might take a nap too. I'll think about it.

Weird

Weird. I was getting into some deep thoughts the other day & thought,"Would I like me if I met me?". Weird. I don't know. I think I would like me.I might also suggest a few things to me. Deep thoughts.

Moving on... I am looking out the window to our big tree swaying in the wind. We are under a tornado warning. We call this tree "The Old Man". If it falls the wrong way it could hit my house. So I'm watching. As if I could do anything about it. Ha! 8 yrs & it's still standing. (it's very windy).

Moving further on...Went to the rheumy doc today. He gave me prednisone & told me to come back in 2 wks. He wants to see if my pain is gone. It's Prednisone! Of course the pain will be gone. Steroids will make me feel like Superwoman. Duh!

So I'm just rambling here. Time for lunch.

Christmas is coming

Ready or not here it comes. Am I ready? No. Too bad. Just remembering many past Christmas's. Family would visit. It was crazy but fun. It's quiet now,everyone is older, or gone. I still have to go shopping. 5 days left & I dont have anything. No money. But we will have a party for hubbys birthday & all his work guys will come. Nope, I'm not ready. I can't find the spirit either. Fast forward please? But will we look back on this Christmas with fond memories? I did decorate. Merry Christmas.

Mom

Tomorrow it will be 8 yrs since my Mom died. Wow. Time has flown. I miss her everyday. My Mom was fun. It was always a trip with her.She was funny without trying to be funny. I don't think she knew that. Mom was independent. I would call the house , ask for Mom, Dad would say she wasn't there. She would be in Delaware or Pa or Maryland. He never knew. She had an antique shop & was always shopping for it.Mom was generous. If you liked something in her house she would give it to you. We always said we liked the T.V. or couch. She didn't give us those though.Mom always thought of other people first. I see people who look like her & it makes me cry. My Mom was 67 yrs old when she died of a brain aneurysm.I miss you Mom.

Grandma

Did I Stop Blogging?

Ok, I did for a while. Things (life) got crazy. Grandma died the beginning of September & I flew to Texas. Flying is fun, funerals are not. My Dad is in the hospital for a week now. But he's getting better.I am feeling better now so things (life) will  get back in order.Still making bracelets & sketching every night now. So, I'm back.

Something is burning a hole in my pocket!

I got money for my birthday. I can not find anything to buy. I am not sick either, as some friends seem to think. If I had no money then I would want to buy everything. I am depressed now. Why is this? I should hide my money & then I would think I have none & tons of bright shiny things would appear. And I would need every one of them!
It was a nice birthday. Out to eat with my guys. We ate at an Irish Pub that has great food. Now August is almost done. What a rough month. I'm looking forwards to Fall. I still won't have any money though.

Memory or I Forgot

The other day Hubby asked me why he doesn't remember many things. I forgot why he asked me that though.But it did start me thinking why we remember some things but not others. I remember some things in my life but forgot a lot of others. I think we remember important events but not the mundane. I lived overseas as a child & my family did travel a lot but I don't remember it. Is it because that was just my day to day life? I tell Hubby that if everything went smoothly then you wouldn't remember it. Remember all the awful vacations? I bet you don't remember the perfect vacations. Someone told me that it's not your memory that's bad, it's your recall that's bad. Sorry, I can't remember who told me that. So enjoy the memories! (even the bad vacations)

more stuff I've been trying

Painted Leather. Now I just need to figure out what to do with them. Some bleached scarfs & shirts. God I'm so bored. I really need a life.
Happy 4th of July!

more new bracelets

Pacemakers

Hubby had his pacemaker surgery on Tuesday. He's ok except his scar is hurting him.Its about 5 inches long. But hopefully this will make him feel great. He still has headaches & is trying new meds. His folks came for his surgery. So that's how we started the month of May.

Last Month in General

Not much here. I applied for a job at Michaels Crafts. Don't know yet. Hubby was in E.R. again with vertigo.I'm still making bracelets but don't know what to do with them. I want to get in my garden but should still wait until frost is gone.Son still doesn't know whats wrong with him. And my feet really hurt. Oh Yeah, we are having a party the end of the month! With people! And that's my last month in one blog.

Now What?

I am bummed. Our craft show application was rejected. Too many jewelry vendors. So I have to think of another way. I am tired of bad things. I really need something good to happen. But in the mean time I will get over the bumminess &  keep pushing. But I am still a little bummed.
