Schtuff of absolutely no importance, except maybe to me...


Well, I've had a good couple of days since my last post. Got my old Nikon camera out and took a drive with a friend out to Chalk Ridge Falls to take some shots. I didn't take many because we got busy talking and hiking and getting lost, but the ones I did take will be good I hope. Some of the magic was gone as soon as I remembered I wouldn't see them right away, which I love about digital, but that's okay, it will be nice to see how they come out. It was so pretty there, even with most of the leaves dead and gone and listening to the falls makes me feel just a little less anxious, definitely my favorite local place to visit.
Stepped outside my comfort zone today and took on a job with a cleaning company. Not the work I want to do or am experienced at, but it's good and honest work with a paycheck attached, I get to wear jeans and a company shirt, and there are usually no weekends or evening work, so for now I'm cool with it. PLUS I get to work with them on a house that Extreme Home Makeover is building for one of the Ft. Hood shooting victims this weekend, how cool is that?! Iit will be so interesting to see how all that really works, I've been a fan of the show for years now.
Okay, taking a chance here by saying that I'm going to do something, cus anyone who knows me knows that I rarely ever do anything once I've actually said I was going to. I am a true collector of wonderful ideas all day long but the second I utter the words "I'm going to do that or make that or cook that, or anything else, forget it - I can sit and watch it fly right out the window like a little sparrow trapped in a kitchen. Am I the only one with this problem? Please say no... Anyway, I saw these over at Attic24 (one of my favorite blogs) and AM going to make some. I love the colors and shapes and ooh they're just too pretty not to don't you think? Star decorations and Bauble Decorations, check them out.
And oh yeah, just on a side note, I think I've decided to go back to school before it's too late. I know some people say it's never too late, but if I want to actually do something with a degree I have to face the fact that at some point, it would be too late to go for anything other than shits and giggles. I got all set up with financial aid and everything a few years ago and ended up chucking it for stupid reasons, biggest mistake ever, time to fix it, and no one to stand in my way except myself this time...
Hope y'all are having a great night, it's almost the weekend just hang in there baby!

Wow. Attic24 is a beautiful blog. Thanks for pointing me that way but oh- wait- it reminds me of the afghan squares I've had sitting for years waiting to be added to and sewn together which makes me feel a bit guilty.
I love those stars.
I love the idea of you going back to school. I love the fact that you will be working and no, there is not one thing in this world wrong with honest work.

Thanks for sharing the Attic24 blog...love that!!!
Tiff, truly, going to school is one of the best things I have done for myself. It pushed me to move forward after John died....part of it was I knew I had no choice but to find a career to pay the bills in this wacko economy. But the people I have met that were "out of my comfort zone" were wonderful!!! LOL What an ecletic group and I love them!!! The first few of that group will be leaving this next week, and it just hit me how much I will miss them.
Get on down the road with this one...you deserve it....you were designed for wonderful things and we can't accept the gift till we open our hands (and hearts) to it. Love you gal, and can't wait to see where your adventure takes you.....
