Too much thinking not enough doing

Pictured is my cat Tiger. As he looks out the window he seems to be in a contemplative mood, kind of like how I've been feeling these past few days.
My daughter stopped by this afternoon where we discussed what we wanted to do with our lives. I've worked for corporate America and I'm tired of playing the game. I've also had my own consulting business that I enjoyed but I didn't want to start over in a new city. I know I need to do something but I'm not sure what that something is.
For now, I'm going to try a telecommute job. I did find 2 that I might go after so we'll see how that goes.. please please wish me luck. I need to find something to do before I go crazy.
We'll talk again soon :)

My Brains Working Today

Ahhh today feels much better.

After having such a difficult time writing yesterday and finally giving up, today I have something to blog about.

I mentioned yesterday about the wedding coming up (11 days). My daughter and the bride aka my niece popped in and grabbed me in the middle of cooking dinner. Lucky for me my husband came home not 5 minutes later, and the girls and I headed out.Her dress and veil were ready for pick-up. No problems with the dress but the veil was all wrong. What she wanted was 1/4" satin trim running along the top and underside edges of the veil. What she got was 1/4" satin ribbon with little loops on either side of the ribbon on just the top side of the veil. The comb of the veil was too big, the ribbon which she used was not properly fitted to the comb. The toole laid flat against the comb and her head. I think my niece said it wasn't poffey enough. That meant the comb needed to be flipped the other way. Needless to say, she asked me if I could take it home and fix the veil for her. It's not that I couldn't do it but I told her she paid these people good money to make the veil and they needed to fix it. The owner felt bad and said not to worry he'll get it fixed. I'll post my busy schedule in just a bit, but for now, I need to get the laundry started.

blank state of mind

Today is just one of those days. I don't have them too often but when I do, it's hard to think.

It's not that I don't have a million things to do with a graduation in 5 days and a wedding in 12, but the harder I think.....the more my mind goes blank.

The phone's been quiet today with only 3 calls....... my daughter, brother-in-law then his wife. Let's make that 4, my sister called during the writing of this blog. At this point in this blog, it's taken me 2 hrs and 45 min. to write this much. I guess my head is empty. Ho hum.. OK this is really painful, I'll end it here and I hope to have more to say tomorrow.

Lazy Weekend

My husband and I didn't want to do anything or go anywhere this

weekend until we realized how bored we were. We decided to have a 2 man BBQ and went shopping for what we needed. Needless to say,the food was yummylishis.

The following day we decided to drive around town and snap some pictures. I think I took over 200 pictures of various subjects.

A lot of the pictures really turned out great for someone who doesn't have a clue. The only altering I did was some cropping and that's only because I haven't read up on the program. My husband asked me what I was going to do with all the pictures. Well, I've decided that I'm going to make my own book through snapfish.

I've already made a folder containing pictures for the book and will continue to add to it. After I come home from my next trip from Hawaii, I'll download and select the final picks for the book. That will be my Christmas present to myself.
