Ahhhhh......silence

Just wanted to post one of my favorite things in this world. The utter quietness when everyone in my family has gone to bed. I've been tightly wound the past few days, so this moment is just what I need. I'm watching my tivo'd Desperate Housewives, enjoying a bud light lime, and unwinding before bed. Nothing like a little blogging to unload my brain as well.

Hmmmm....

can't seem to come up with any catchy titles today. I've been busy taking my mom to doctors appointments. She's had five nosebleeds in the 2 weeks. Hopefully they have come to an end since she was taken off plavix, a blood thinner. She's also having to deal with her elderly mother. I'm trying to be someone she can lean on.

Today I sold a few rubberstamp sets at a friend's garage sale. I hung out there all morning. This evening I did a bit of sorting of junk in our basement. I made a little headway and am trying to convince myself I made progress. There's still plenty more to do down there. Maybe if I put in 20 minutes each day, I'll be able to see more progress.

That's all folks!

what to do...

Wow! I didn't post for all of September. I know there are things to do around here. So far today, I've accomplished going to church, eating breakfast, and napping. My nap lasted as long as 1/2 a night's sleep for me. I guess having two late nights wore me out.

Friday night was my group therapy session of scrapbooking. I made a couple of Halloween cards for something. On Saturday, I hung out at Mary's house with Mary and Trish. We had an awesome crafting session. We made a couple of albums and a Halloween garland that says boo. The entire time we had movies on to entertain us. It was such a nice time and a break for me that couldn't have come at a better time. I'll have to post a picture of the garland when I get it put up. I have high hopes of making Thanksgiving and Christmas garlands as well. It would make fun gifts too.

I discovered yesterday that I'm in love with glimmer mist! I guess that's a good thing since I have about 7 bottles!! It was funny this weekend as I was going through my scrapbooking totes. I discovered 3 bottles of glimmer mist tucked away, a couple of jars of crackle paint, and some cute embellishments for Halloween. Unfortunately, I also discovered that I bought a stamp set that I already owned. That's what happens when you overbuy and don't know what you already own. Ok, I'm off to accomplish something. Maybe I'll finish marking garage sale stuff for a friend's garage sale next weekend. I'm sure I could find more to put in the sale also. TTFN
