Hooray for Good Self-Esteem!

Even though I have been feeling fat all day (unfortunately there is a good reason for that, but usually I can ignore those 100 reasons) ...I feel so loved and appreciated tonight.  All my swap partners were thrilled with the items I made for them and my husband has spent all evening telling me how pretty, lovable, and talented I am.  If this is what good self-esteem feels like I need to get me some more of it.  Do they make pills for that?

Life's Cruel Ironies

Finally!  Finally after 8 long years of living away from everyone we know and love...and just away from anyone we know at all we are now in a place surrounded by loved ones.  With each year we prayed for it to be the one we could journey off to another distant (or not so distant) land to see new sites and endeavor new experiences.  And with each passing year, there we remained in a...I won't say hellish place, but a place that just wasn't our cup of tea.  Then it happened!  Set free, we fled--even if only a few hours away.  It's been like livng in a whole other world.  As if the dark clouds were dusted away by the hand of God, himself and the sun was finally allowed to shine down upon our heads.  It has been a glorious 8 months.  I have had so much fun here, learned so much about people, myself, my family and now...NOW! the powers that be have suddenly attatined some sense of urgency and seen to it that Here is no longer the place we should remain.  Sad...

Merry New Year 2010!

Well, lucky me!  The new year begins tomorrow and mine will start off with a snotty nosed, sore throat-ed little boy needing lots of extra attention.  It's just as well, I hadn't completely decided on whether or not I wanted to do anything ellaborate to mark the occassion anyway.  Since relocating to Louisiana with my husband several years ago, New Year's Eve had typically been an event we spent only with one another.  Now that we are in Mississippi we have a few new options for the occassion.  Unfortunately, most of them don't allow for us to spend it together.  Although we have made many new friends we still have zero family members to lean on.  Alas, my dilema.  As much as I'd like to venture out with new faces and delve into some "adult" fun, I do not want to do it without the partner I have spent this time with for the last 10 years.  So!  Odds are we will be spending this New Year's Eve much like our past 10...with each other, plus 1, of course.  And this is just fine with me.

My Swap-Bot Project

Scrapbook Challenge for Jan 2010 that is being hosted by Scrap N Craft @ meetup.com

We were to create a scrapbook page based off of a sketch posted on the site.  Not sure that mine turned out so much like the sketch, but I gave it my best shot.
