    Ain't it purty?

    2. I'm making pretty little gift bags to sell on my Etsy.

    Very little commercial interuption! And Jeff Goldblum  .... need I say more?

  • Excerpts from an Email .... UPDATE on This Life!

    I have been dealing with a cramped back muscle since Sunday morning. It locked
    up on me and is causing considerable pain but, I'm still functioning.
     
    The apartment is wonderful. My view off my porch/patio?
    Pine Trees, birds, feral kitties and a 'pond' of water with bull frogs! I can
    also see The Main Road - busy but, I pretend the cars are waves crashing on the
    shore :o ) When I close my patio door? NO SOUND. Except the occasional emergency
    vehicle and the train whistle 2 or 3 times a day.
     
    All boxes have been emptied and the place is set up like
    home. I have my table with 2 sewing machines standing ready! :o ) I've got every
    inch of space storing something and decorated! I've used bookshelves and baskets
    to hold my crafting supplies and there's a big closet/shed off the patio that is
    holding bins of fabric and off season clothes.
     
    We have met nearly all of our neighbors. There are 8
    apartments in each unit. The couple directly below us? Retired and home during
    the day.They have two tiny dogs.  The ladies down below and beside? Sisters,
    with 2 greyhound dogs! They brought us a huge fruit basket Sunday to welcome us
    to the area! There's a young couple who attend The Local University and another Lady
    downstairs who had her entire family here for a cookout on Memorial Day! The
    girl directly across? She works at  - the Local Hospital. She
    suggested I look online for positions and there are about 5 CNA1's right now.
     
    In order to apply? I have to have a current CPR Cert. So
    I called RedCross - explained how as much as I love the work they do I did not
    have $45.00 to pay for the class? They said I could have a scholarship and
    attend the class on June 7, 1 p.m. for FREE! So, I'm trying to get my back
    better BEFORE then! (SUCCESS!!!!)
     
    Today we're going to try to stop by the Farmers
    Market. It's a Tuesday-Saturday market and we've heard it's only one farmer
    right now. But, we're going for it! :o )
     
    I'll also be trying to find the Red Cross. Everything is
    within minutes of me. The mall is across the parking lot, all the grocery stores
    are within blocks - Walmart AND Kmart are just on the other side of the Mall as
    well as Lowes Home Improvement! My bank takes me 5 minutes to get to! The Hospital (where I hope to get a job?)
    Just about 5 stoplights down!
     
    Emily decided to end her 3 month courtship and agrees he is just not the right man for her.
     
    Saturday Em and Molly will be dancing in concert at 2:30
    and again on Sunday at 6:00. They've got a group of friends coming down from
    Maryland, VA, Indianna, and W-S to stay the weekend, so they are HAPPY.
     
    I'm trying to get my internet presence 'advertised' and
    also plan on applying for work as a CNA. Maybe between the two I can get back on
    my feet. I am B.R.O.K.E. right now and I HATE it!!! I am also trying to pay Mister back for the unbelievably HARD move. He really went all out. His friends are
    advising him to make things difficult for me - but, he has really shown
    character by doing for me - physically and financially!

    That about covers it .... I think .... maybe I should post pictures?

  • My Xanga Looks Weird ...

    ... a bit confusing.
    Me. But, not really me.
    Familiar but, something else too.

    Sort of like my life right now.

    Cryptic.
    Is that how you spell that?

    Tired.
    It's easier to spell.

    Stressed.
    To the point of ....
    to the point of ....
    being cryptic.

    ha.

  • Egads. I'm Boring ....

    and have mercy.
    I'm redundant.

    So sorry my Gentle Readers ....

    I must come out to play more often.
    I've nearly buried myself in my own grief.

    I know there's a better way - I'm just
    not sure of where I live, yet.

    Goodnight - the morning comes before the sun.
