Random Thoughts.........


LOVE my new nursing job.....but, I am still on orientation and in the "honeymoon" phase!


Can not tell if that is thunder I hear or the new house construction next door.....I'm thinking thunder.

I stopped biting my nails.....now if they would all grow at the same length and time all would be fine in the universe.

I have a new love in my life and his name is Kindle.....CAN'T. STOP. READING!

My husband is the best.....hands down!

I am still freaking out over Madelyn starting kindergarten August 16th......like, give me anti anxiety meds, freaking out!!!

Miss my Madelyn working the shift I am, but secretly LOVE that my husband is now the "mommy".....he he he.....I am evil!

I am thinking about reopening my Etsy shop.

I had my second "fill" a week ago and am down 6 pounds!! Woo Hoo!!

Zumba is fantastic......but, I am still too chicken to try and join a class. I look like a hippo who has no rhythm! Seriously embarrassing!


For months EVERY night I have had CRAZY dreams....could write a novel with the plots of some of these.

Thank You!!!

Hello! Happy Monday to you all! I wanted to drop in and say a BIG "Thank You" to Lorelei Eurto! She had a great swap a few months back, exchanging earrings that she made for some new beads/components for jewelry making.

She recently listed a bracelet in her Etsy shop made with one of the components I sent her. It was a last minute "throw in" kind of piece, as I really was upset that it did not turn out the way I saw it in my head. Typical. But she must have liked something about it to add it to one of her designs. And I must say, I REALLY like the bracelet! She showed me the possibilities of the charm I made, and that has had me falling asleep at night with a smile on my face, as I drift off creating more pieces in my head.....ahhhh, jewelry bliss!

So, Thank You Lorelei! You have lit the fire that was growing cold in my creativity department!!! YAY!

Heard This Song Today....



Not sure why it touched me the way it did, but I wanted to share thy lyrics.

I watched him take the two strike call"
He hadn't tried to swing at all.
I guess he'd had all that he could take,
He walked away, for goodness sake.
His father's voice was loud an' mean:
"You won't amount to anything."

That little boy quit tryin',
He just walked away.
There were teardrops on his face.
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.

That old man said:
"One more try,
I know i'm not too old to drive.
I promise, son,
i'll do my best,
This time, i'm gonna pass the test.
"Give me the keys, Dad, an' get in.
"His father never drove again
That old man quit trying',
He just turned away.
An' there were teardrops on his face.
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.

We take His name out of the schools.
The lawyers say it breaks the rules.
Pledge of allegiance can't be read,
An' under God, should not be said.
I wonder how much He will take.
I just pray it's not too late.
What if God quit tryin',
He just turned away?
There were teardrops on his face?
Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.

Tell me, how would you feel?
You'd probably give up too,
If nobody believed in you.
