I'm Still Here! :)

Ok its been so long since I blogged that I forgot my login information! I really need to be more consistent with this it seems.

Not really much new...work has been so busy I haven't had much time to do anything else. I get home, have supper do the dishes and go for my walk and then its time for bed it seems. I need to factor in some "fun time" I think.

I've been in a definite "funk" lately. I know I'm in it and just can't for the life of me seem to shake it. I want to go out and do something but when it comes time to actualy get up and go I would just as soon stay hom...so thats what I do. I know its not good for me and I wish I could figure out why I'm feeling this way....it would certainly make it easier to fix the problem if I knew what the problem is...so in the meantime I am going to plug away and keep one foot moving in front of the other and hopefully this will pass.

I've started a computer course for the next 6 weeks. I have one week down and 5 more to go...the only problem is that it is on a Wednesday and that seems to be the night that I could take advantage and get out with friends..I would feel guilty missing a night to go out with friends I think..but I would probably spend the night in class thinking about all my friends out having supper and then going to the movie....guess I will just play that one by ear for now...man I hate being a responsible adult! It really sucks! haha

I spent a bit of time with my grandson this weekend. I can't believe how he is growing so fast! Almost 16 months old already! He is just the light in my eye I tell ya! He is just so funny and knows how to use his sense of humour to make you laugh at his antics...definetly has me wrapped around his finger already thats for sure...he had a runny nose and a bit of fever yesterday when I was over and you could tell he wasn't feeling good but he still liked to get us laughing. My son and his wife took him to the doctor today and they are sending him for an X-ray tomorrow to make sure he doesn't have pneumonia! Poor boogaloo (thats my name for him haha). Keep your fingers crossed he doesn't have pneumonia :(

I noticed when I was out yesterday the trees are already starting to change color! Its a bit early for that as far as I'm concerned...I hoping we still get out Indian Summer...but its not looking good I don't think. I do love this time of year..all the fall colors and the crisp air. It sure is great for sleeping! If only I could sleep thru the night without waking up 10000000 times! Not sure whats going on there either...maybe its part of my "funk" mood...

Well thats enough for now. Tonight is a good night for TV for me! The season premier of CSI Miami is on and Dancing with the Stars begins too...Then Survivor starts on Thursday and the Amazing Race on Sunday! I am in an Amazing Race pool at work...we'll see how that goes! haha

thats it thats all for now!

Tired!

I don't know if its the weather or what but man I am exhausted all the time lately!!!! I'm sure it has nothing to do with age however haha

I'm still trying to get the hang of this blog thing....slow and steady I guess I will figure it out. I'm never sure what I want to write but then I get going and crazy nonsense flows haha

I am looking forward to catching up with my stitching friends this weekend at our monthly stitchy get together. I was really disappointed I missed the BBQ but it was one of those unexpected things that really couldn't be helped.

I am in sort of a blah mood tonight. Reflecting on different things and people in my life. I sometimes thing life would be so much easier if I didnt feel anything! My feelings are hurt over a couple of things that have happened with a couple of friends lately (2 separate things, 2 separate friends). I don't know what to do really...So I will do what my mom always told me to....nothing until I have looked at things from both sides of the coin...sometimes when my feelings get hurt it can throw things out of poportion for sure...I'll write more about this eventually I'm sure but for now I will keep things closed.

I am looking forward to going to my son and wife's place Friday night for supper and games night! My youngest son and his gf are coming, my daughter in law's mom and of course my grandson will be there! Nothing puts a smile on my face like spending a bit of time with him...he is growing like a weed and is doing all these funny things..he makes me feel both young and old at the same time haha

well not much to say tonight really..just rambling on about nothing haha..so I will sign off for now and wish you all a good nights sleep..and I'll keep one for me too!

Another Day!

I don't know about you guys but I always find these short weeks to be terribly long! I am very happy its Friday tomorrow tho!

I have a very busy weekend ahead but one I am really looking forward to. Saturday I will be celebrating a good friend's birthday with a BBQ/gathering and then on Sunday I am getting together for anther BBQ with some great stitching friends! I'm am really looking forward to both events...I need some friendship time in a big way! I'm hoping the weather is going to remain nice for the weekend..although the weatherman is not being very hopeful. But we all know how reliable weather reports are right! haha

Not alot to write about at this point. I am going for a walk tonight. I have joined a walking group thru my work and tonight is "homework" night...which means a 3k walk. I don't mind going with other people. The time goes so fast since I like to talk and walk at the same time haha Hopefully the mosquitoes will be taking a break tonight. Not sure how far I will be able to walk tonight..I have a horrible pain in my heel...I've been told it could be "plantar fasciaitis"..not sure I spelled that right haha...I'm really hoping walking will work it out and not make it worse. When I got up this morning and put my foot on the floor I almost screamed in pain. Its been lessening as the day goes on so I'm hoping it is working its way out...

Gee I sure am hoping for a lot of things aren't I haha...nice weather this weekend, no mosquitoes on my walk, getting through my walk...well you know what they say....you should always have hope! So here's another...hope you all have a wonderful evening!

cheers!

Monday Blahs

Well first let me tell you I survived by aunt's 90th birthday party with my relatives haha....It was nice seeing some of the family that I usually only see at funnerals (which was mentioned more then once I might add). I was standing outside with my youngest son and nephew and we were looking around at all the other people outside in their little groups. I must say I can know totally understand the meaning of the term "feeling like a fish out of water". It was such an uncomfortable feeling. I really don't know the cousins that well and they certainly have their little "cliques". We pretty much sat by ourselves except for my nephew who joined us and my sister a few times as well. While we were standing outside I spoke my thoughts out loud "I feel totally out of place". My son and nephew both said they felt the same way and my nephew mentioned my sister had said something similar too. Its hard to look at people who are your family and really feel so disconected from them. In all honesty I have friends I am much closer to and feel more like a family with. Needless to say we made an early exit. On the plus side my aunt seemed to really enjoy herself. She looked so surprised that so many people were there! She is a lovely women and that was the reason we went...for her...and for my mom who would have loved to have been there. I was told there will be another party in November for my uncle who is turning 80...I'm not very close to him and really don't think I will put myself thru that awkwardness again. But I'll see when the time comes.

Now...what the heck is up with the weather! I am having a very lazy day thats for sure. I'm supposed to go walking tonight with the group from work....I don't think I'll be going to that in this weather.

I've started reading a really good book and am intrigued with the story line. Its by Nora Roberts called Blood Brothers...the first book in a trilogy..its very interesting and am having a hard time putting it down. I keep thinking I should get my stitching out too since I haven't done any in AGES!!! Maybe I will get some done later on.

Well thats it for now...have a great day everyone and stay dry! haha
