Where Does The Time GO?

You know that saying about time flying when you're having fun?

Well... I must be hav'n a ball!

 I don't  work "outside the home".

I only have one child here - and he's 25.
My husband is very neat and cleans up after himself. 
I don't have that much laundry.

So what the heck am I doing to make time go by so fast?

Blogging - yep - blogging...and I haven't really been doing it here! 

You see, I started entering contests online.

Then I discovered book blogs.

(Believe me - there are blogs for EVERYTHING!)

I started winning books right and left.

A light bulb went off in my head, and I thought

"maybe I could win all my families Christmas gifts this year."

Then, back in June

-because I've obviously lost my mind -

I decided to start a book blog of my own.

I never imagined that it would take off like a rocket.

I was just going to post a review every now and then.

Maybe do a giveaway once every 3 or 4 months.

Well let me tell you..it's become a full time job.

Not that I'm complaining... but there isn't the same connection

with my readers there

(except for Bingo - I love that woman)

as there is here.

This is my blog HOME.

This is where my friends are.

And I've let this place slide, and I sincerely apologize for that.

But there's something else.

I read all of your posts, and I feel so inadequate.

I feel as if I can't continue to come up with

new and funny, or  insightful material.

I've also been worried about posting anything that would be

objectionable to anyone.

I have strong religious and political views,

but I'm reluctant to post them here,

as I would never ever want to hurt anyone's feelings.

AND

Since big S took over the desk top, I haven't even been

uploading my photo's!

I'm a mess!

But, if you guys will stick with me

I'll try to do a better job.

Deal?

I Did Exercise Today...

That's my story, and I'm stick'n too it!

I'm So Sorry

30 Day Throw Down Members - DO NOT LOOK

Don't even think about peeking...not even with one eye closed!

Go away - seriously.

You do not want to see this.

Unh-unh - nope - no way.

Don't say I didn't warn ya!

I've discovered the most wonderful blog.

Christy Jordan's Southern Plate 

Recipes From Below The Mason-Dixon Line

She has the most wonderful "Down Home Southern" recipes.

Recipes that will make your tongue slap it's self silly.

Gracious me, she's got some good stuff.

If you dare... go HERE.

I'm Doing OK

I can't believe that it's Wednesday already. 
What happened to Tuesday?

I'm still holding my own. 
Weight hasn't gone up any more... yet.

The Gazelle has been shouting at me, but so far,
I've done a good job of ignoring it!

I'm cringing at the thought of
Robynn's Challenge
(exercise?) for next month.

I want to be honest,
so I may not be able to join in:-(

I'll have to do some real hard thinking

before I commit.

(NO not be committed... Spud Woman - 
no wisecracks from you:-)

Seeing Things a Little Differently

Now that I've had a couple of days to calm down

& 

I've taken some time to think about things...

...and I've come to the conclusion

that maybe losing all my emails wasn't such a horrible thing.

I now have 8 or 9  emails in my "Inbox", and it's rather nice not to have so much

"staring me in the face" ever time I check in.

Thanks for all your support.

The next time I have a melt down,

you can all just tell me to grow up!

BTW - I'm also over whatever bug got  a hold of me. 

I'm back up about a pound or so...

...but hoping not to put too much more back on.

I'll get back on the Gazelle today too - I promise!

Sunday Offering 9/20/09

May Your Day Be Blessed.

Bad Turns to Worse

How Do I Do These Things?

Yes, I know that I've been sick, and   I feel like crud. And now I'm flipping out. 

Somehow, someway, I managed to delete every single email in my In Box! 

I don't know how I did it. 

But I did... and it's all GONE. 

There was stuff in there that I've saved for YEARS. 

 

All Gone. 

All my approvals for giveaways on my book blog. 

Approvals for product reviews.

Deadlines for reviews.

PICTURES OF MY GRANDCHILDREN!!!

I'm so upset. 

I'm ticked off.

I am soooooooooo mad at myself. 

I'm beyond knowing what to do.

Got any suggestions?
