Me And My BiG LifE
It’s been longer than I realized since last posting. I have, however, created several brilliant posts in my mind… they just never made it to the screen. Number One: If you don’t “check in” somewhat frequently, the WP Gods change your password. Number Two: When my password gets changed, (without my notification, thank you very much), I feel rejected. Number Three: ICRS! (I can’t remember ______!)

Darling Jane snapped me out of my yet-another-blogging-funk state-of-mind. Since my last post, I have been travelling a bit including a 15-day cruise to the Hawai’ian Islands (I’m sure I did the “‘” wrong, but what the heck, I’m trying), a beautiful weekend in Yosemite and lots of fun stuff with the boys and their band/sports performances.

I have been experimenting with hubby’s Cannon and trying to put together a couple of special photographic packages for two of my friends who have been undergoing chemotherapy. I fear I have been a bit unfaithful, in a blogging sense, as I have been visiting Flickr quite a bit just posting for family and friends. Speaking of which, this site has always been considered a place for my blogging family.

Here’s a couple fo experimental pics. If interested, you are welcome to visit the Flickr site at:

MY RUNNING MAN

A POPPY BIRTH

Be forewarned, I have way too many photos… I am in the process of deleting the majority of them as being a too mundane and/or just plain inferior. I am studying, researching, and practicing when I can in an effort to improve on all levels.
I miss everyone and send much love. I love this community and the brilliant bloggers in it. FTL, jen
Ah, sweet Jen, am I glad to have you back again! Whenever I go visiting our David, I really miss the comments you left there. You and Mr.Random are exactly what he and all of us need
It’s good to know you’re having fun with your family, Sis… no worries about you taking a break from blogging. Love ya and many hugs.
We all need a break every once in a while!
The photo of your running man really says a lot. I look at the faces of the other runners and they seem to be struggling so hard and just look at the face of the young man out in front! He’s “in the zone” and seems to be perfectly at peace! Love it!
Hey you! I’m sorry I haven’t commented here in forever, I’ve been so busy! I miss reading your posts!
Dropping in to say hello along with wishes that all is well. Oh yeah and that I miss you, too. (And everyone else for that matter, sigh … )
Yeah…it seems my life has taken on a life of it’s own lately too. I miss everyone so much.
Thank you for the email. The guy who accused me of giving him something that made him fail his drug test has been moved out of the kitchen and into another job. It just happened yesterday, due in part to my request that he be moved. He came to me and apologized “if he said or did anything to upset me”. He told me that he really liked me and working in the kitchen…although you couldn’t prove it by me. He has a huge chip on his shoulder…and if he were in the real world and talked to his supervisor the way he spoke to me…he wouldn’t have lasted as long as he did here. At any rate…I’m incredibly relieved that he will be gone…but I feel a real sense of guilt over it as well. Go figure. He tried to make me the enemy from day one…if he had given me a chance…he would have found that I’m a really nice person to work with/for. But he was determined to make me the bad guy for some reason. Maybe it was his way of pushing me away before I had a chance to push him away….which I would have never done if he hadn’t behaved so badly. Maybe he expects it…so he causes it to happen. At any rate…the burden is his to figure out why he behaves the way he does and to change it. I’m not the only one at the shelter who sees his destructive behavior. The man who drug tested him came down yesterday. He told me that I’m not the only one who has problems with this guy…that he is notorious for that enormous chip. Somehow that makes me feel better.
I’m glad you are enjoying your family, and traveling! I’ll be heading to Texas at the end of August for my 25th reunion. So guess what? I’m in a complete panic to lose weight before then! Is it possible to lose 50 lbs. in 3 months…lol? I joined Curves…which I love. I’ve been getting up at 5 a.m., going to Curves at 6:00…then coming home to get ready for work. After work, I make dinner for the family…then try to walk three miles. By the time I sit my butt down in the evening…I’m exhausted…and my bed is MY BEST FRIEND! I’m finding it hard to spend my extra energy on the computer lately.
Hugs, dear friend!
