A GOOD FEEL

As you can see, I have changed my background and colors once again...I just can't seem to settle in to my "feel" haha.....I don't think this is it either, so it will probably change again pretty soon. There is just something I love about putting colors together and a theme etc. I guess I am just a frustrated designer. I guess I don't really have much to say (can ya stand it Jim??) but I know I probably won't be writing many blogs while Mel is here, though I am sure I will come on and snort around...so I thought I should get one out today. I am very excited Mel is coming... (a definite good feel)but I am afraid as usual she has every minute accounted for. All her friends want to see her too, (imagine that) and while I do get the lion's share of the time, I do have to share. I guess I don't really mind, as I know Mel has missed all of them a great deal. But it does make the time fly by. But I promised myself I wouldn't whine and look for the dark cloud, so I'd best get on another point. It's funny, the minute she gets in that car and we drive off chatting it's like she never left. Such a wonderful thing. Maybe it's because the two of us drove around in that car on more hashes and chews then either of us could ever count. I wonder if that will ever change?? Nina just left and I love the feel of a freshly cleaned house. I know how fortunate I am to have her and believe me I am grateful..my back is still bothering me, (though it has improved some, though pretty slowly) and I honestly just don't think I could do it anymore. The house is just too big. And you would think it would stay pretty clean with just me and Jeff and Chuck, (and Elvis) but somehow it never does. Anyway, it's a good feel. I am sitting in my bedroom typing this and it is almost 6 and it is still light outside. I love that. Another good feel. There's some kids out front playing basketball and I love the sound of them too. Brings back memories of my kids playing out front. Many a basketball game was played in that driveway. Funny, at the time I didn't really appreciate the noise and confusion, but I miss it now. Hopefully, everyone will be well this week-end so that my family can all get together. It doesn't happen alot anymore, and everyone looks forward to when we can. I am anxious to see all the grand kids and I love when my kids are all together and we all just hang out with no particular reason that we are together that needs to be addressed. Usually it's a birthday, or Christmas, or something, and there never seems to be enough time to just do nothing but visit when we are on an event of one kind of another. Capri has really been wanting to come to Grandma's (isn't that sweet?) so hopefully it works out for her sake too....Well, this is really a random hash of thoughts with no real purpose, so I guess I will get off. The bookstore just called and my Karen Kingsbury book is in....YEAH.....another good feel. 3 new unread Karen Kingsbury books!!!! I can hardly stand it.....I'm squeeling out to get them...Hope everyone has a great night...

  1. wow, I'm surprised you didn't tell Nina to wait until thurs morning so I have to wake up at the crack and deal with her.... mellanniiee..... haha. new karen kingsbury? I may have to steal one. I will prob finish the one about the cop guy (devastated from 9/11) on the plane tomorrow. Do you notice she loves cops, firefighters, 9/11, and people so depressed from bad events that they become buried in their work?? see you tomorrow!

  2. Mel, the last book in the 9-11 series isn't NEARLY as good as the last book in the series your mom just got...

  3. Really happy for you, Deb! I know you will have a wonderful visit! I have read none of the Karen Kingsbury. You told me that the two I bought were from the series. So which one do I start with?

  4. Di, there are 3 groups of series ALL in the Baxter family series and your books were both from group 3 or the "S" series....all the books in that series begin with S...The first series all the books begin with R, and the second series all begin with F. You MUST find the R series books first or it's wrecked. They are the best group of books I may have ever read.....I LOVED THEM......buy 2 or 3 at a time just as a tip as they are a quick read, (1 - 2 days max) and you'll be hysterical to get the next one when you can see you are getting near the end. All the books have the list of them in the back which tells you the order. I don't even remember the names and Mel has got them all so I can't even check. Or ask any of the clerks in the store as everyone in there usually knows about these series as they were sooo popular. I would be positively giddy if I had all these books to look forward to right now....giddy

  5. Deb,
    I am so happy for you that Mel is coming and you will have your family together. That is such a good feeling.
    The wedding video is a stun!!!. I will have to learn to do that. I still cant even figure out how to do my own blog let alone post a picture. Clueless in Arizona

  6. Rhonda, it was much easier than you would ever think. Smilebox walks you through it basically. It was UNBELIEVABLY fiddly so therfore it took forever, but it was really pretty easy. Trust me, I am a thick headed glue on here...
