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.
