I just had a blast commenting on Stacey meme, and since she claims everyone who participated has been tagged, here is a direct quote of what we taggies are meant to do:

"If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don't speak often (or ever, for that matter), please post a comment with a COMPLETELY MADE UP AND FICTIONAL MEMORY OF YOU AND ME.

It can be anything you want--good or bad--BUT IT HAS TO BE FAKE.

And now you can consider yourself tagged, so go post this meme on your blog."

So, what are you waiting for? Fire away!

Hmmmm

Tagged: 5 Weird Things About Yourself

was tagged by Wendy, so here are 5 things:

1. The older I get the louder I like my rock music! You usually hear me coming before you see me :D
2. The darker a room the happier I am. It's not unusual to see me in my living room with no light except my tv and monitor -- maybe, just maybe a small lamp as well.
3. Sometimes its hard to tell my daily clothing from my Ren Faire garb. Teehee
4. I can understand most of my British friends conversational slangs better than American ones.
5. I have discovered my 'inner goth'

Now tagging...

Making a connection

Its always neat to make online friends. It's even neater to meet them in person when you can. This week, I have had that opportunity again when Rosemary spent the week in Ft. Smith.

I was able to spend Tuesday and today with her and it was a blast. Her kids are darling! Tuesday, Cian came over and hugged me, asked me my name and then took my hand and kissed it. Not bad for a 2 yr old.......he'll be quite the ladies' man one day! :) Jaime is a real cute one, and does not like to see anyone upset at all.

Needless to say we hit the crafts stores as well as Books A Million. Spent time crafting and talking and just enjoying finding someone else with the same likes and interests as self.

*Sigh* Do you HAVE to go home tomorrow, Rose??????????

The Hermit

For some reason, around this time of year, I tend to "hermit". Hide away, don't talk much. Communication becomes an effort. Motivation disappears.

I think that is kind of obvious since my last entry was over a month ago :)

But I have come to the conclusion lately that its ok not to have anything to say. Instead, I have been listening. At night, when its quiet here, I hear outside. The slight whisper of a breeze past the closed windows. The sharpness of a sudden thunderstorm. The sound of the rain hitting various objects.

Why? Right now I don't know. I just know its what has been happening.

Is anything wrong? Oh heck yea.....of course there is. Just the fact that we are alive means something will be wrong. Its life....Life is not perfect. Not a fairytale. Things are going to be wrong. But it doesn't mean life is not good either. Just means its going to take more work. Maybe that's why the quiet time. Resting before the work commences? I know I have learned that maybe we humans spend too much time talking and not enough time listening. I need to get back to active listening and that has also been apart of this past few weeks.

People have not understood where I am coming from right now. That's ok. Not sure if I do either. But I am beginning to realize that right now, I am not really in a bad place....just a different place.

Time for a new season?

And now with the cover finished

They couldn't just leave it at Scrapping

Nope, Angie and Rose weren't happy with just getting me addicted to scrapbooking. They couldn't leave it at that! Nope, they had to taunt and tempt me with more. Art journal....everytime you turned, they were posting photos of the new cover they made or their latest entry.

WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, are you 2 happy?????????????? Look what I got at Walmart Saturday.

I do hope you plan on helping me figure out what to do for my cover??????????? LOL

Almost time.

Well, Joe will be home soon and then its off to Missouri for the weekend. He'll get some sleep while I drive. I can nap once we get there:)

It will be nice to get away for the weekend and look forward to what will unfold.

See y'all Monday:)

And the question is, What is Da Train!!!!!!! Da Train!!!!!!!!!!

A. A confused Tattoo running to tell Mr. Rourke the guests are coming.
B. The inland version of Fantasy Island called Fairytale Prairie
or
C. A Heavener employee explaining to their supervisor why they are late for work.


If you guessed "C", you are correct. Yes, that is the one guaranteed reason for being late that is never questioned in this town. The town is completely divided in half......west and east sides by railroad track. There are 3 crossings...2 are 2 blocks apart.....the third is about 4 blocks down and when you get a long train going slow (and they all do), there is no getting across.

Welcome to Heavener :\

Happenings lately

Its been a quiet week......work, relaxing at home....big trip of the weekend was out to do laundry yesterday. Church this morning.

Prayers please for my friend Heather's dad. He was taken to the hospital this morning...heart. So far he is stable. But prayers are appreciated:)

Friday, after work, rode with a friend to Ft. Smithwhile she visited one of their congregation members in the hospital there. Stopped for lunch at the China Taste Buffet on the way out of town. Yummmmmmm:D
While she spent time visiting. I did some crocheting in the lobby. From there, we detoured over to Books A Million where I got a copy of Eragon and a box of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, a pack of Fizzing Whizbees, and a bag of Drooble's Best Blowing Gum as well as a Harry Potter/Prof Snape Bookmark, all of which I found on sale!! Best way to do it!!

6 more days and we'll be heading to Amity, MO. Looking forward to a couple of days out of town with my hubby. Now, if I can only deal with putting our dogs in the kennel! LOL

Spell Anything

Saturday jottings

Well, its been an interesting couple of days.

Finished my first week at my new job yesterday. Enjoying it and looking forward to Monday morning.

Both yesterday and today, I managed to crochet some both on my big afghan that is over half done and on another one that I just started this week. Both are done on the diagonal in a shell pattern stitch. Plus did some work on my counted cross stitch Celtic Wedding Blessing. Also got the laundry done, bills paid and a trip to Atwoods for some steel cable and fixings to fix Rowan's lead.

The cable we used for her lead said good for up to 184 lbs.........guess they didn't take into consideration the power of 75 lbs with a good running start :\ A strange dog came in the yard......and that was all she had to see.....she was off and snapped her lead cable. After Joe finally caught up with her........we went and got the stronger cable -- the one good for 800 lbs. Let's see what she can do with that!

Maybe I can accomplish some more stitching tomorrow after church

Mail Call!

Don't ya just love when you get mail and its NOT bills!!!! :D

Second day of work and I really enjoy the time I spend at the office. Have gotten the routine down fairly well for the food pantry part of it. Rest is basic office things.

Getting warmer here again.........fortunately not as bad as a couple of weeks ago when temperatures were over 100! But warm enough to notice it LOL
