I know it's not Thursday yet, but, well, I'm so excited about this blog that I've spent the day poking around "blogspot' trying to learn more. And I did learn! Now my blog has a really pretty background. I like how the whole thing looks. If you've got feedback, I'd love to hear how people are responding to the look.
Today was what I would label a "normal" day. I went to church. It rained. I grabbed lunch and spent time on the computer. I put the soundscapes tv channel on for background. Somehow it got to be 4pm. I took a nap and then went back to the computer. I made a real dinner (not the norm lately) then decided to make a card. I watched some tv and now I'm starting to wind down for the night.
Most people would call this a run of the mill, boring type of day, but for me it was just what the doctor ordered. You know the old saying "if you want something done, ask a busy person"? Well I'm the busy person. I direct 4 choruses of senior citizens, 2 tambourine bands, have assorted private students, and am active in a civic arts group as well as in a private travel/historical group. I'm also in the place where my mother is requiring more care. My job for mom is the finances, and WHEW, that is a real emotional ride. I've been three months sorting paper and trying to understand. It's really hard because my mom always crossed her "t's" and dotted her "i's" so the fact that she forgot to write checks for cash into her checkbook was quite startling. In addition, I take mom to most of her medical appointments, which lately have been 2 or 3 per week. Bottom line, to get to routine has required a lot of time so for me to have two days in a row of mostly just "playing" has become not only a joy but a relief.
The card today was inspired because I have new paper with great polka dots. I got looking thru my supplies for things that would match color wise and ended up with some fish and scraps of polka dotted paper left over from other projects. Wouldn't cha know?! I don't have the product names because I threw them away when I opened the packages way back when, but I buy much of my embellishments at Micheal's or AC Moore's so they're pretty common items. What I have fun hunting down is the sentiments. I go on-line and google "quotes" in this case "quotes about fishes". I usually find 3 or 4 that I add to my sentiment book. I liked this one because of the humorous truth. The full quote is "when fishing for love...bait with your heart!".
So now I'm really going to put this away for the evening and will not have time to write again until Thurs for real!
Blessings to all.
Linda :)
