Holy Cow - Am I Ever Tired!
Last night I ended up going over to Andrea's for her birthday party for a little while. Got home just before midnight. Could not sleep. It hurt every time I tried to move.
At 4:30AM, Cooper called to see if Geraldine called here when she arrived in Newfoundland. THEN he called again at 6:30AM, and I don't even know why... All I know is it was near impossible to get any sleep!
Today was beautiful and warm and sunny. I went out to try to tan. I do not think I was successful...
We did, however, end up going out on John and Crystal's boat over to the Halifax waterfront. It was really fun! I got to drive the boat!
When we got back (About 10:30PM) we had lobster and quahaugs and BBQ-ed chicken at their place. I have a pot of quahaugs to shuck tomorrow and freeze for a chowder. I hope I am not too tired in the morning for church, but as I feel right now, I could sleep for a week!
So, there is my day in short form. Sorry it was not very witty or clever. I am just plain too tired!

Very Quick
Beauty and the Beast was WICKED! It was the most amazing show I have ever seen! And Queenie said this was her best birthday EVER.
Sorry Kelly, we were not allowed to take any pictures. I did take some of her at dinner, at the 5 Fishermen. Let's see if this thing will let me load one or two.
They brought her dessert (ice cream with whipped cream and fruit), with "Happy Birthday" written in chocolate on the plate.
This is the only picture from Neptune. See the roses hanging in the window? There were roses everywhere for Beauty and the Beast.

Here she is in her new "grown up dress", as we were waiting for our table. Isn't she pretty?

It really is too bad that the characters did not come out after the play. Sometimes they do. I really would have like a picture of her with Belle, Beast/Prince, and Gaston. Gaston was the best, I think. He was just like the cartoon character. They could not have cast a better actor for the role.
Well, that's it for tonight. I am heading to bed, hopefully to sleep! Stupid cold!

So Far Today... {Part 2 Below}
I got up more tired than when I went to bed. The pain woke me up every time I moved last night so I did not sleep well.
First thing I did was take my pain pills when I came downstairs.
I got all ready to go Juliet's for Bible Study. Called Kelly to see if she needed a ride, but she is still feeling crappy so she wasn't going to go.
I put the dog out. Brought the dog in. Put the dog in his kennel. Got all my stuff together. Put on my poncho. Loaded my arms full of my stuff and headed for the door.
WAIT - My keys are not clipped onto my purse where they are supposed to be... Oh yes... Al had the truck last. My keys were in the truck. They must be on top of the fridge... Nope - no keys there...
Hmm, where could they be???? Wonderful! He left my keys in the truck. Oh well, I will just use his keys. They are probably on his dresser because he is on duty tonight and usually doesn't take them with him if he is not coming home at the end of the day. {Since he took his keys to Europe with him for 8 weeks, instead of leaving them home in case I needed them - which, of course, I did!} But guess what? NO KEYS ON THE DRESSER!
Fleeting thought: I wonder if I would get caught taking the uninspected, uninsured van to Juliet's? I wonder if "I'm really sorry officer, but you see, I could not take my truck this morning because my husband locked my keys in it, and his keys are with him ON THE HMCS CHARLOTTETOWN..., and I just HAD to get Bible Study!", would fly with the cops if I did get stopped... Oh wait, I can't get the van out the truck is in the way. I will have to move the truck so I can get out the van. NO, WAIT! I can't move the truck - NO KEYS! AUGHHH!!!!!!
I called the ship. "Hello Ian, this is Al's wife, is he there???"
"Yes, he is...which Al?" {Brilliant!}
"Honey, where are your keys?"
"In my locker."
Oh just wonderful!!! "Guess where MY keys are..."
"Where?"
"IN THE TRUCK!"
"Oh, you locked your keys in the truck?"
"No, YOU locked my keys in the truck!"
"When?"
"The other day when you brought the truck back home and was in such a hurry to get back to Coopers!!!!!! And I need to get to Juliet's this morning. AND I need to get to Bible Study and get the boys to Youth tonight. AND I am supposed to go to Kelly's tomorrow for tea... AND you won't be home til tomorrow night!"
"Oh... Well, Cooper is here on the ship. I will give him the keys and he can bring them back to you."
"Oh...well that's a good idea. How long is he going to be?"
"Not too long?"
"Can he bring them to be BEFORE he goes back to work?"
"I will ask him..."
*long pause*
"WELL GO ASK HIM...!"
"I can't. He's on the [something] deck, having a smoke..."
*grrrrr*
"OK. Tell him I need the keys RIGHT AWAY!"
*breathe, keys are coming...must call Juliet*
So I called Juliet and told her the saga, and asked if they would like to come here for Bible Study instead. She said that Kelly is sick (I knew that), Janet is in the Valley today caring for her father, In Soon is still searching for a place for her daughter to stay when she returns to Korea, and she is on the other line with Penney and will call me back.
So, I practice fingering drills, pedal drills, scales until she calls back.
Penney's cat allergy acted up badly when she was here last, but they will come pick me up and we can go somewhere to do the lesson... So, I suggested Sea Gulps, and Sea Gulps it was...
About 3 minutes after Juliet called to tell me they were leaving (And that Noreen WAS on time, just on time at Kelly's instead of Juliet's - too funny), in drives Cooper with my keys. THANK YOU COOPER! "Here you go, you can leave now." "Thanks, but they are coming to pick me up now." "Oh, even better..." And off he goes to work.
More scales... Some cottage cheese and mandarins... and Juliet arrived.
SO...after all that drama, we had a lovely morning out at Sea Gulps for Bible Study. It was actually kinda nice that I could not get into my truck this morning... Then Juliet brought me home, and I thought how fortunate it was that Kelly did not take me up on my offer of a ride because she'd still be waiting.
Home again... And all this by NOON!!!!!
Let's see how the day progresses. I will give you updates!

Let's see how the day progresses. I will give you updates!
*************************************
10:28pm
Well, I did not do a very good job with the updates as the day wore on, but in all honesty, the rest of the day was rather dull in comparison...
So what did I do after all the drama this morning? Well, I actually crossed everything off my to-do list, AND cleaned up the kitchen, AND sat outside with Scooby for about an hour when he got home (as he BBQ-ed hot dogs for everyone), AND tried (in vain) to tune Cody's guitar, AND read the last chapter in There Is No "I" In Church for Bible Study tonight (only to find out it was a review and we weren't going to do it, JUST have the pot luck...), AND had a shower and got de-scented for the not-Bible Study, AND got the boys to church EARLY, AND got to Pat's on time...
So, we did not actually have a lesson tonight, just had the pot luck. I think I, somehow, missed that we were not going to do the last chapter, because I was the only one prepared for a "review lesson".
We had a nice dinner (I took macaroni salad). Had a nice time of fellowship. Wrote "thinking of you" cards to Reta Kay (whose son is very ill with heart issues), and to Aaron (who is working out west for the summer). We decided to continue to meet over the summer, every other week, for a short devotional, a prayer time, and some fellowship time. Then we had our prayer time, and dispersed...
I went to get my boys at church, a little late, which I was not concerned about because AJ Huffman was to give Cody some guitar instruction tonight before and after Youth, however, AJ could not be there early, nor could he stay late tonight, so Cody did not get any instruction this week.
I talked to Kelly (who is quite sick, and is quite pale, and needs to... REST KELLY!). Told her I could NOT get that guitar tuned. I can tune MY guitar, and it has 12 strings, but I could not get his tuned! I asked her if maybe the strings were crappy. So she thought she'd give it a go, see if she could get it tuned.
She got as far as I did, to the 2nd string (which is really the 5th...!?!?!?), and could not get it tuned. However, she got the rest of it tuned quite nicely - to "A"! (Instead of "E"...) We had a laugh and she sent for AJ... (Her AJ, not the AJ who couldn't make it...) AJ had been giving Cody lessons but he just got so busy with the church plant, and running THIS church, that I thought it best to let him do his thing and not to bug him about it for a bit. This was when Kelly and I came up with the idea of asking AJ Huffman to help Cody out. {Yes, a bunny trail, I am good at those...}
Where was I? *looks up and reads...* Oh yes, Kelly tuned it to an "A", and so she sent for AJ... AJ took the guitar (that neither one of US could get right) and in about 45 seconds, had it sounding beautiful... He wow-ed my boys with some "to-remain-nameless-music". They were having a grand time, when Mom-Kelly said it was time to go... {Yes, she WAS right...}
So, Mr Man's guitar is now in tune and he cannot use that excuse anymore for not practicing, so he had better!
We are, obviously, at home now. All the kidlettes are in bed, and I am going soon. Very soon!
So, in comparison, the rest of my day was not near as exciting as my morning, but I have to say it was a good day... It HAD to be a good day. The sun was shining, and I wore yellow to our not-Bible Study tonight.
Check in tomorrow for the next episode of...
PS - It won't let me space the paragraphs, I don't know why. It just does that sometimes, no matter how many times I hit "enter" between them... I think it does it on purpose just to frustrate me. Well it is not going to work tonight! I really do not care if there are spaces... SO THERE BLOGSPOT!

They Drove Off The Cliff Again...
Alright, ladies and gentlemen, let's see who'll win the prize for keepin' their
cool. Simon says everybody down on the floor. If nobody loses their head, then
nobody loses their head. You sir... You do the honors. Just empty that cash into
this bag and you'll have an amazing story to tell all your friends. If not,
you'll have a tag on your toe. You decide.
Thelma and Louise, of course! Al enticed me with the movie so I would shut down Facebook and cuddle with him and watch it. It is still a WICKED movie! And Brad Pitt is still hot, even though the rest of us got old in 20~some years...
That was the highlight of my day. Cuddling on the sofa watching a favorite movie with my Sweetie.
Now it is almost time to go upstairs, have a shower and finish my lesson for tomorrow.
If you are one of those unfortunate souls who has not seen Thelma and Louise before (or even in a very long time!), I recommend watching it. It is still an awesome movie.

SONday~SUNday
Well, the SUN finally came out. YAHOO! For a little while anyway.
Church this morning was incredible. Pastor AJ was away at Youth Rally, and he asked Matt Fitzgerald to preach in his place. Matt just finished his second year of Bible College. He did an amazing job. Poor (little - but not anymore!) guy cried all through it. The entire message came right from his heart. (Yes, I cried too...)
He spoke on 1 Kings 19, where Elijah hides in the cave because he is afraid for his life, thinks he is THE LAST prophet left... And God tells him that He is going to speak to him.
There was an awful wind that tore the mountain to bits, but the Lord was not in the wind, then there was an earthquake, but God was not in the earthquake, then there was a fire, but God was not in the fire.
God was in the quiet whisper. He told us that we need to really listen to hear from God, because He is not going to be in the raging storms, His voice is going to be in the quiet whispers...
He told us of how Elijah just wanted OUT. How he thought he couldn't do it anymore. How he stopped looking at all the positives and began looking at all the negatives, and got discouraged. Then he told us of his own time when he thought he couldn't go on. He bared his soul, and it was heart-wrenching.
But, like Elijah, he sought solace from God, received strength from Him, and continued - continues! - onward. He told us that no matter how much we think we aren't making a difference, how much we think it is not "worth it" to go on... If we are doing it in His Name, IT IS ALWAYS WORTH IT. He said he was going to title the sermon "Get Out Of My Cave, and Get Back To Work"...
I have to tell you, I was really blessed by his message this morning. I felt as proud of this young man as I would my own son.
And speaking of my own son... Matthew has been so much for my Andrew since we came here. I know that if it weren't for Matt pulling Andrew under his wing, he would not have come as far as he has. Andrew looks up to him, and Matt encourages him. He's mentored him, helped him to "grow up", by being an example for him. I will be forever grateful to him for that. He is a good kid - and so is Andrew.
After church Al took his mother and Victoria and I on a tour of HMCS Charlottetown. That was kinda neat. I have been on board before a couple times, but never really got shown around.
THEN, THE SUN CAME OUT! YAHOO!!!!
We came home and sat on the deck, looked at the flowers that were growing, BBQ-ed some chicken... Enjoyed the sun...
After supper we took a walk over to Cory and Geraldine's so that Sharon could see the baby. He is getting so big! GETTING? No, he was big when he was BORN!
The duty watch guy took a nice picture of us on the flight deck. Here it is...

(vs 12) And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 13 When Elijah heard it,
he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the
cave. Then a voice said to him, "What are
you doing here, Elijah?"
God was in the quiet whisper. He told us that we need to really listen to hear from God, because He is not going to be in the raging storms, His voice is going to be in the quiet whispers...

And The Forecast Is...RAIN! How's You Guess????
Is anyone else sick and TIRED of all this RAIN???? If it doesn't stop I think we just MIGHT need an Ark! I had a little "chat" with God last night, but evidently the guy praying FOR rain must have a SENIORITY! AUGH!!!!!!
I woke up so stiff and so sore that I had to get poor Al to massage my muscles into motion. Then had a shower, took my pain meds and left for the bus station to go get his mother. From there we went to Walmart and I stood in the aisle talking to the woman at the end of my street for about 45 minutes. From Walmart to Penhorn for Dollarama and Sobeys.
Came home, talked to April on MSN. Had supper. Talked to April on MSN.
Now I am writing my Blog, then logging off.
Not very exciting I know. I can't be exciting every DAY!

I Had A Date Tonight
With my daughter and my niece Sandy (who came all the way from the Valley to join us - thanks Sandy!)
Queenie treated ME to a movie with her birthday money. We saw Shrek the Third. It was pretty cute, but my favorite is still the first one, I think. My favorites are always the first ones. We had fun though. Queenie is in bed, Sandy is on her way home, and I am getting ready for bed.
I figured out why my computer had no sound, and I fixed it all by myself (following the "help" section), so now MSN beeps at me when I have a message...
That was, more or less, my day. I did go get Al from work at noon, but other than that, I fixed the computer and went to the movie. Now I am going to shower and go to bed and read myself to sleep.
Good night everyone.

Rainy Days & Bomb Threats?!?!?!?!
For those who may have heard, the bomb threat at Cole Harbour High was indeed at my son's school. They were all evacuated and no one was hurt (there wasn't even a real bomb). My son is just excited he got to come home at noon AND doesn't have to go back tomorrow!
I was just getting ready to go out when Deborah came in, so she came with me to go pick up Elizabeth and head out to go to Blessings. We ended up at Pizza Delight, Dollarama, The Source, but not Blessings...
Picked Al up at work and headed to the Canex to get my new Digital Camera I was promised, and a memory stick to save my pictures on that are (were) on my OLD computer so they would not be lost forever.
Came home and there was a message that the NEW computer was down at THIS Canex ready to be picked up.
Deborah helped me get the pictures from the PC onto the stick, then she went home, figuring I was smart enough to set the computer up by myself... BOY WAS SHE WRONG! Between talking to her on the phone, the stack of papers (well, 3), the CD's that needed to be loaded, the "step by step instructions" {MY ASS!}, about 4 anxiety attacks, some chest pains I got the computer to the point where I load the software from Aliant for the internet.
Put CD into PC. Does it's checklist... NO MODEM! *sigh*
Al takes apart OLD computer, takes out Modem, puts it into NEW computer, I put CD back in...and, obviously, with a little more frustration, got the internet up and running.
Installed MSN Messenger, now am posting my blog.
It is still raining. The fire is gone out. I am still cold, still VERY achy! I believe it is time for medication and bed. It is, after all, almost Pumpkin Time!
Please pray for nice weather! The cold and rain is really bad for my Fibromyalgia...

Bible Study ~ Guitar & Piano Lessons ~ High Tea ~ Bible Study
That about sums up my day. Good Night.
Details? Oh, you want DETAILS... Ok...
Well, today is Wednesday, and therefore, as you all know, it is Donna Day {Not to be confused with the now defunct Sheri & Donna Day, which, by the way, was usually a Tuesday}. And, being Wednesday, or Donna Day, I had Ladies' Bible Study this morning. I led. We studied the Spiritual Disciplines of Rest, and of Secrecy (not secrecy as in telling lies, but secrecy as in the Matthew 6 secrecy - "do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret"). I won't say much about the discipline of Secrecy except to say that if you get the chance you ought to read about the life of George Meuller, and his orphanages in England in the 1800's. His is a very inspiring story.
There are a few things, however I would like to share on the discipline of Rest. First is a quote by Carrie Snow, which I think is rather appropriate...
This chapter in Keith Drury's book "With Unveiled Faces", talks about how Rest is rooted in Creation itself. He says, on page 52, that in Genesis 2:2, God rests after 6 days of creating. He then poses a few interesting, hypothetical questions.
He says that we become "hooked on hurry"... Like it is an addiction, or some such thing. I do know some people who are not happy unless their calendars are double, triple, quadruple booked! They are, indeed, "hooked on hurry"! Thankfully, I am not one of them. I kinda lean toward the quote by Carrie Snow that I shared with you.
Then he talks about how not getting enough rest is detrimental to our health -- mental, emotional, physical, and Spiritual. We become cranky, irritable, etc {No, you don't say???} He even goes so far as to say that depriving our bodies of rest is actually abusing our bodies, of which we are to be good stewards.
It was a very good chapter. You really ought to read it.
Guitar and piano lessons... well, they are pretty self-explanatory. I had my guitar and piano lessons today. Had fun. Got a couple two piano duets to do with Juliet. That will be a new challenge for me which I am looking forward to. Learned some scales on my guitar, which is great because if I can learn the NOTES I can learn to pluck, so that is very exciting.
High Tea... Well, Juliet, Penney and I went out for the afternoon to a couple gift~y-type shops, then to the Tea House, beside Lawrencetown Beach and had High Tea. Teasingly I asked Juliet, who is a Brit, for those of you who do not know, if we were actually having "Tea", as we stopped for tea and scones. She, then, proceeded to explain to me the difference between "Tea" and "High Tea", and, in actual fact, we were having a "proper High Tea" (but she was very doubtful the Queen would appreciate having me over for High Tea if I really insisted picking all the raisins out of my scones. They really should warn you if they are going to put "bugs" in your scone... I hate raisins! They feel like bugs...ew ew ew ew ew ew...)
After High Tea, I headed off home to get ready for -- you guessed it -- Bible Study. TONIGHT we looked at Conversions and Baptisms. Not quite as interesting as the Discipline of Rest. I did not really learn anything new. It is just nice to go to Bible Study and not argue with Blair...
The very last sentence in the chapter on rest says:
And so, with that I bid you all a fond farewell, and wish you all a very peaceful rest... Good Night all...
And so, today, this is...
Life As I Know It
Details? Oh, you want DETAILS... Ok...
Well, today is Wednesday, and therefore, as you all know, it is Donna Day {Not to be confused with the now defunct Sheri & Donna Day, which, by the way, was usually a Tuesday}. And, being Wednesday, or Donna Day, I had Ladies' Bible Study this morning. I led. We studied the Spiritual Disciplines of Rest, and of Secrecy (not secrecy as in telling lies, but secrecy as in the Matthew 6 secrecy - "do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret"). I won't say much about the discipline of Secrecy except to say that if you get the chance you ought to read about the life of George Meuller, and his orphanages in England in the 1800's. His is a very inspiring story.

"No day is so bad that it can't be fixed with a nap." ~ Carrie Snow
This chapter in Keith Drury's book "With Unveiled Faces", talks about how Rest is rooted in Creation itself. He says, on page 52, that in Genesis 2:2, God rests after 6 days of creating. He then poses a few interesting, hypothetical questions.
"Was God so worn out that He needed to catch up on sleep? Why would God cease to work on the seventh day? You'd think that if God were truly God, He could work 24-hours a day without getting worn out, wouldn't you?"He then goes on to state:
"Yet Genesis pictures God taking a day off. Perhaps we are told this to remind us that taking time off is built into Creation itself -- it is not an option."
"God simply rests. Ceases work. Does nothing."This is a very intriguing point. God did not HAVE to rest on the seventh day. He CHOSE to rest... And thereby set the president for us all. Drury states that we would have been more efficient had God designed us to NOT NEED rest, but He didn't. What do YOU think about that?
He says that we become "hooked on hurry"... Like it is an addiction, or some such thing. I do know some people who are not happy unless their calendars are double, triple, quadruple booked! They are, indeed, "hooked on hurry"! Thankfully, I am not one of them. I kinda lean toward the quote by Carrie Snow that I shared with you.

Crazy~Hectic~Busy
For someone who didn't really "do" anything today, I sure was BUSY! Today was "errand day", and I got off to a VERY slow start. I awoke in a LOT of pain today and therefore was moving very slowly.
I will spare you all the boring details of my day. I will say I did get most of my errands done. Queenie and Daddy went dress shopping, but ended up needing some Mommy help. I took her into Eclipse and she got the first one she tried on...what can I say? It's a Mom thing... I want a new dress...*pout*
That really was the highlight. I told you is was not a very exciting day. I am now going to go have some Butter Pecan ice cream, then go finish my Bible Study lessons for tomorrow morning.
Hope this finds you all well...
And so, today, this is...

WOW! What A Busy Weekend!
I had quite a weekend! Very busy. I am quite tired so this is going to be quick, I will elaborate tomorrow, but for now...the highlights...
Friday I ended up leaving the house to go to the Valley about 2 hours earlier than planned. Cooper called and needed a ride to Halifax for his dinner, and since I did not want to make 2 trips across the bridge, I got all my things together and got ready and just stayed in Halifax til it was time to pick Al up (at the dinner) and leave for the Valley.
We went right to Rockey's, where Al got ready to go to Brian Commissioning Dinner and Service. Rockey and Mary came with us, and we met the rest of our family there. All four of us kids came out to honour and support Brian as he was Commissioned by the Atlantic Baptist Convention. We got some photos taken of all five of us, which was nice.
The Commissioning Dinner was long. A bit drawn out, but nice all the same. The actual service was something I had never experienced before. The Commissioning of the Clergy itself reminded me a lot of the rite of Baptism. I found it very emotional.
Afterward, Al came back home and I left with Brian and Peggy to go to Not-Digby for the weekend so that I could attend his graduation today. We went to Tanya's, where all Brian and Peggy's things were. They changed, then we went to DQ for some nosh. I had a Blizzard. The ice cream felt good on my sore throat. Then off to Not-Digby. Got there very late (don't know what time). Had a shower and went to bed.

Got there very late (don't know what time). Had a shower and went to bed.
SATURDAY
Didn't get up til about 10:30, or so. (I don't think I actually got to sleep til about 4am!) Didn't do anything all day. Peggy had to go to work, Brian went out on his bike for a ride (couldn't take me because A) he only has one helmet, and B) he is not yet licensed for passengers. So while he was out, I read a little, then had a nap. We invited April and Craig and Mya to come over, but they were having her family in for a bonfire, so I did not get to see the Princessa while I was there.
SUNDAY (Today)
We got up at 8:30 (when Al called, good thing he did because we had intended to get up at 8:00, and be out of there by 9:00!) We still managed to get out of the house by 9:15. We stopped in DIGBY (!) at McDonald's for breakfast, then through Tim's drive thru for tea, and off to Tanya's to get ready for graduation.
The graduation itself was really nice. I have never been to a graduation at Acadia before. The Div School went first, so that made it a little long, because then we had to sit through all the rest of the Arts programs. After the ceremony it was picture time. We took lots and lots of pictures. I would like to post some, but this computer is so slow I don't think it could handle it. Perhaps when the new one comes I will post some.
{I just tried to put a picture on here and it was taking WAY too long. I will do it when the new computer arrives.}
I am home now, thanks to Tanya. She brought me home. Elizabeth was there too, so she brought her home as well, and as I said, Sandy came along, and we picked up their friend Jeff along the way. Had a fun trip home laughing and joking. The funniest was when I was giving Tanya directions to my house, and she moved over a lane on the Circ to let a car go by. It was Scooby! I laughed and said, "Follow that car! He is going to the same place! He lives in my basement!" So we honked and waved and honked and waved and called his cell, but he wouldn't answer. It wasn't until we followed him right into the subdivision and he pulled over so we could pull up along side him that he realized who it was honking at him. He was totally freaked out! Then as he pulled away, the male voice in the back seat pipes up, "HEY, I know that guy!"
*Guess you had to be there...*
And now, I am exhausted, I miss my Sweetie, so I am going to go upstairs, read a chapter in the book we are sharing, pray together, have a cuddle and go to sleep.
Hope everyone had a nice weekend. And let's ALL hope tomorrow is warmer than today, because I FROZE at graduation!
Blessed Be...
And so, today, this is...

It Is Amazing...
What a bath can do... I feel so much better now. Probably venting a little didn't hurt either.
Today was such a nice day! The sun was shining, my flowers actually bloomed since this morning (tulips), locked myself out of the house, Geraldine crawled through the bathroom window - IN A SKIRT! Fun times...
I got Queenie's tickets booked for Beauty and the Beast at Neptune Theater. We are going for her birthday present, and we are going to her favorite restaurant - The 5 Fishermen! And Daddy is taking her all by herself to pick out her new dress for the play. (I wish I was getting a new dress!!!)
After I got in my house, I put the roast in the oven, and put in a load of delicates, then went to the Canex for the mail, milk, and pop (you know, the essentials!) On my way home Baby Cory was out in his kiddie pool and Mama was sitting by him looking all motherly and pretty in her pink skirt, so I stopped for a few minutes and took some pictures of him. I just happened to have Tanya's (Peggy's) camera in the truck because I got it from Ibitz to take to the celebrations this weekend and figured I would remember it if it was in the truck... Anyway, I will get them to email them to me. Very VERY cute!
When I came back I hung my clothes on the line. That is my favorite thing to do. Hanging the laundry on the line and bringing it in. It always smells so nice! So I have all my things clean to take to Not-Digby tomorrow.
After they were hung, I decided it was WAY too nice to not be outside, so I took my guitar and my books and I went out on the back patio and played through the exercise book Juliet lent me. They are good exercises. I think I will learn a lot. At least I hope I do. I had thought to take my guitar with me to Brian's, but he said that he is going to ask Rockey to bring me home Sunday on his BIKE, and I do not think I am a rock star and want to sling my VERY pretty, VERY new 12-string over my back and hop on a bike for an hour trip! {But OHHH, it sounds SO fun!}
When Sebastian's Mom brought him to pick up Cody I put the guitar away and went and talked to her while the boys got themselves organized for their sleep over. We talked about flowers and plants and things. I am going to give her some of my ground cover when I get things dug up and moved around.
Then it was time for the men to be home for supper, so I peel some (stinkin', rotten) potatoes, and put the veggies on while Al carved the roast. It was really yummy. Pork tenderloin.
Then after supper, I got in a bit of a funk and posted the not so nice post below, shut everything down, and went and had a long hot bath (in which I fell asleep).
I talked to Frank on Facebook, and to Ibitz and the Princessa on MSN, and now, it is time for bed... At least time to go and get my things together for tomorrow...
Night all... Or Good Morning... Whichever applies... I will try to post from Not- Digby, but can't promise. Don't miss me too much...haha

Life As I Know It
I Have Decided...
That I can't please all of the people all of the time. I can't even please MOST of the people MOST of the time. Some days, maybe, if it is a GOOD day, I can please SOME of the people SOME of the time. Family, friends, it doesn't matter. I am ALWAYS on some one's "shit list". And no, I am not going to pretend that I do not say that, because I do... I am DONE with pretending. I am done with "trying too hard", with "loving too hard".
I am who I am. I am not perfect. I never claimed to be. I have faults, which I freely admit. If I am not what you expect/want/wish for me to be, I guess, as bluntly as this sounds, too bad! If people can't accept me for who I am, where I am - TODAY, then perhaps the effort I have been making to please them has been wasted... I only have so much energy to get me through the day Please follow the link to the "Spoon Theory", I re-read it again last night, and decided I was wasting too many "spoons" trying to be what everyone wants me to be. I can't do it anymore. Members of our OWN FAMILY are not speaking to ME. They are speaking to everyone else in the house, just not me... And if by some strange chance she is reading this... Yes, I mean you. And yes it still hurts. And yes those words still sting. BUT I AM THROUGH being some one's puppet.
I have a lot on my plate right now. There are things looming in our future {VERY NEAR FUTURE, I might add} that are very stressful for me. I need the care and support of people I do not have to pretend around. People like Lois, and Kelly, and Brian, and Elizabeth, and Sandy, and Tanya, and Deborah (God love Deborah!), and Geraldine & Cory, and Karen, and all our Military friends, and (most) of our church family. Family members who are not trying to villianize me, friends who are not trying to change me...
I pretend to have it all together. I pretend to be tough. I pretend that things do not bother me. Life is "safer" that way. You don't open yourself up, you don't get hurt. I think I have become too lenient with my "wall". I think it needs to come back up. I think I need to stop letting people dictate who I should be. I think I need to stop letting people in so freely...
Now I know there is "someone" who will read this and think it is all about her...you know who you are! Nothing could be further from the truth, so stop beating yourself up about it. There is just so much you don't know... So much MOST of you don't know. So much MOST of you are never going to know...
OK, that's it. Let the slinging start...
And so, today, this is...

~~~~~~~I Know, I KNOW~~~~~~
I said I wasn't going to change it again , but, you see, it did not match my pretty new picture...
Elizabeth wants to read an exciting blog. My suggestion to her is to read someone else because my life is B~O~R~I~N~G!
Today, I sat out on my front step in the sun and did my Bible Study lesson for tomorrow night. I fiddled on here til I got mad at it, then made my lunch and put a table cloth on the outside table and ate outside. It was so nice! {Note to self: Go get the table cloth before it rains!}
Made some yummy spaghetti for supper, then sat down to re-do my blog... I hate my computer. Did I say that already?? Yes? Well I am saying it again! NEW COMPUTER NEW COMPUTER NEW COMPUTER!!!!!
So, that was my exciting life for today. Tomorrow is "Donna Day". Let's hope for a better day tomorrow... Night all... Or if you are reading this Wednesday, Have a lovely day...
