What's Going on in my world lately

I know, I’m a bad blogger.  Don’t post anything for over a week and when I do come back I password protect what I do write. Believe me the password is just to keep a few people out, so if you want to know I’ll send you the password.  It’s not a big deal.  I needed to vent and wanted to prevent a bigger fight.

Having said that…

Friday was my nephew Duck’s 11th birthday.  No, of course Duck isn’t his REAL name.  That’s his super hero identity, clearly.  This child.. boy/kid/wonder of the world is just amazing.  Those of us who know and love him are blessed beyond words.  Those of you who haven’t met him yet, well, just wait he will blow your mind.

But along with Duck’s birthday, Friday marked the beginning of the One Month Countdown to  my birthday.  We won’t discuss or disclose what number this birthday will be, but it’s safe to say it’s a few bigger than Duck’s.  Anyway, my motto this time of year is: Shop Early, Shop Often, Buy LOTS!.  Of course nobody ever listens.

Because the day after my birthday is the REAL important holiday.  The day you can legally blow shit up.  And because it’s THAT day, my birthday gets over looked.  Which is a real shame because I give everyone I work with the day after my birthday the day off to recover from the most fabulous fantastic birthday blow-out extravaganza, that just never seems to happen.

Also, I have found a new online addiction that is a wonderful fun time suck.

Pinterest is the Virtual Bulletin Board and it is Awesome.  So come follow me if you’re already addicted, if you want a fun way to kill time that’s not Angry Birds, I’ll send you an invite.  They say it’s a “fun reminder of clothes I will never afford/fit into, the home decor I will never afford/fit into our small home, the recipes and crafts I’m too lazy to ever make, the sayings I wasn’t clever enough to think of on my own, and the photos I wish I had taken but didn’t.”

Sounds fabulous doesn’t it?

And that my friends is where I have been hiding, basically, in a nut shell.  I’ve been reading more than I’ve been writing.  I’ve been working more than I’ve been playing.  And so now, I’m off to plug-in the iTouch, and listen to some tunes laying in the sun, catching some rays.
