• Sorry it’s been so long since I last posted. The whole back-to-school thing made me fall behind on everything. Thank goodness it’s all done and over with.
• I’m drinking Mocha Java coffee with Hazelnut creamer.
It’s SO good!
• Lonnie just yelled at his computer. When he does that, he reminds me of my Dad. When I was a kid, I always knew that if I heard yelling coming from the garage, I needed to stay away.
My Dad’s the most gentle person I know, but when he’s working on a car and something goes wrong…WHEW! Look out!
• I need to put my make-up on. I shall return…
• Okay, I’m back and looking a little better than I was ten minutes ago. I hate looking icky. I guess I’m shallow or something. I just don’t like feeling like I could look better than I do. My outlook seems to be better when I look half way decent. Is that shallow, or is that kind of normal?
• Speaking of human behavior, my son is taking Psychology in school. The first day of the new school year was yesterday. He came home and said that he thinks he’s really going to like his Psychology class. I wish they offered badass classes like that to me when I was in school. Maybe I wouldn’t have hated it as much as I did.
• Nah - I still would have hated it!
• I think I’m going to bake some cupcakes today. It’s been a while since I’ve baked anything, and I like to bake stuff for the kids so they have tasty treats when they get home from school. My kids’ friends always appreciate that, too.
• I’m in a pretty good mood today. Yay! Much better than yesterday. I was totally bummed out for some reason. I’m sure it has something to do with my kids leaving to go to school. I know I’ve said it like 2398473 times before, but I miss them SO much when they’re gone.
• I’m going to go make a cup of coffee for Lonnie.
• He appreciated that! I love doing stuff for him and the kids. It truly makes me happy.
• Lonnie’s friend, Chad and his wife, Becky are going to be coming over any minute. Becky is a photographer, and she wants to talk business with Lonnie. I’m not sure if she just needs business advice or what, but it’ll be nice to see them again. They’re super nice people…and very personable.
• I want to mow the lawn today, but I think it’s too soon. I’m trying to only do it once per week, but when it starts looking just a tad too long, I have to go out there and mow it down. I guess it’s the OCD.
• I’ve decided I’m never going to drink alcohol again. It honestly does nothing for me anymore. I never thought I’d say that, but it’s true. I just don’t enjoy it…and I shouldn’t be drinking it, anyway.
• My daughter is 5′ tall and weighs only 65 lbs.. I’m not sure what made me think about that, but when I really stop and think about it, that’s amazingly tiny. I hope people don’t ever think we don’t feed her enough. She literally eats more than I do. I’d pretty much do anything to have her metabolism!
• We watched “Grindhouse” the other night. I didn’t even want to watch it, but I did and ended up liking it a lot! Quentin Tarantino drives me absolutely nuts. I can’t stand the guy…and normally don’t like his movies, either. There are a few exceptions…”Grindhouse” is one of them.
• I think Lonnie’s addicted to white boards.
• Okay, I gotta go work on a website now. Sorry again for not posting for a few days. I’ll do my best not to let it happen again.

Stumble It!
yay! cupcakes!!!
I know!
I have brownies in the oven right now.
awesome! I bet Sunny is a doll! 5 feet is pretty good for her age, right? 65 is thin, but what did the doctor say? If they thought it was cause for concern then I am sure you would hear it. It’s so funny, I wanted to bake as well, but I think I am just going to make cornbread to go with the bean soup.
I can feel for Sunny. I have a high metabolism and there are times I hate it. I have to eat constantly or I get light-headed and just about pass out. :down: Not fun.
I am so happy you started posting again Karen,
I know with every thing that is happening these past two months you have been very busy.
I assume your son is a senior this year?
I am glad he will enjoy his new classes,
my son is 17 (a senior in HS) and searching for colleges it is a killer,
I often think too many things at the same time,
I guess I can start a random post too or blame it to my imaginary ADD,
I wear make up usually when I am in my “downs”. I hate to look bad and it usually works, unless I don’t sleep my four hours at night and the dark circles reminding me that raccoons are creatures of God too!
Your young baby will be fine!when she reaches 14 her body will change,
Before I had my son I was 25years old and 100 lbs. Now days I crave food but I tell myself “kixs are for kids” .
Enjoy the cup cakes and Good Luck to your kids in their new School Year and all the best to you for your new shop,
I hope you don’t mind but I started mentioning it in my comment boxes on Opera.
I think you have some wonderful stuff there!
Stay well
Angeliki
Sarah - The doctors say that Sunny is perfectly healthy. Just naturally thin. Although I can understand how it’d get old to be too thin, I would much rather be that way than too heavy! Losing weight is SO hard to do…but gaining it takes nothing!
Casey - Like I said to Sarah, I can understand why it’d get old. The grass is always greener on the other side, I guess.
Angeliki - Thank you for the long comment!
• My son is actually a junior this year. He’s only 16.
• I have a problem with thinking too many things at once, too. That part of the reason I suffer from insomnia - it’s hard to slow my brain down.
• Of course I don’t mind that you’ve mentioned my shop on My.Opera! I appreciate the support SO much…and as soon as things slow down a little, I will be adding several new designs for products. I’m also considering moving my shop from Cafe Press to a different service. I’ll keep you posted!
• Thanks again for your kind words. You always make me smile with your comments. I can only hope that I sometimes return that favor. Have a wonderful day!
you do return the favor, with your posts, pictures, by just being ..
I would love to be updated about the shop!
I am sure people will realize what a cool place it is!
as for thinking too many things at the same time,
I believe we have less chances to get Alzheimer’s by doing so and keeping our brains busy! : p = :
My Grandpa died with Alzheimer’s, so I hope that’s true. That’d be such a horrible way to go.
Thanks again for even more kind words!
You spoil me! I promise to keep you updated!
