Good Bye Earl!

Well all the hype for Earl was for nothing...at least here. There was some wind and some rain but really I've seen worse! I know Nova Scotia is getting hit harder and I hope all my family and friends there are keeping safe!

I don't know what it is about storms....I just like to hunker down with some provisions and wait it out...and by provisions I mean chips, dip, Canada Dry Gingerale and a good book or some stitching! And that is exactly my plan for the rest of the day and the evening...with maybe a movie later tonight thrown in there too :)

I am not sure where the time is going but man it sure seems to fly lately! Already into September...it won't be long and it will be time to start panicking about Christmas and the lack of time and money! I find that such a stress...every year I say it won't happen again but it always does! And yet it always works out!

The good thing tho is that fall retreat is coming up!! I am so excited about that! It is always so much fun to go and relax, eat, stitch, laugh...its like my own little version of Eat Pray Love! hahaha

If I'm being honest I was considering not going (for reasons I won't talk about here). But I thought about it and decided that that really wasn't the best thing for me to do. So I'm going and really looking forward to it! Nothing and no one will ruin it for me...if I don't let it happen..and I am most certainly NOT going to let it happen! We will be having our planning session soon at one of the girl's places...complete with supper and a bon fire after! Good times!

Well I seem to be jumping all over the place so I think I will go grab my book and maybe the chips and dip and settle in for the evening.....rest and relaxation....oh ya!
