Stuff. Stuff, and More Stuff

There have been many happenings....well..happening lately. At least it seems like it. Or maybe it's just because I haven't written in my journal in the past several days. Well anyhow, I went to a Hawaiian BBQ on Monday for Memorial Day. It was at my BIL's parents' house. It was quite nice, actually. While we were there, I talked to one of the women who will soon be officially part of the family (her son is marrying Mandy's SIL in a couple weeks, ewww). Anyhow, she owns a shop down in Lewiston. She sells fancy stuff, dresses and jewelry, and she is also a seamstress. Did I mention that she sells JEWELRY?? So, I went over to chat to her about her shop. As soon as I mentioned that I have been making jewelry, she cut me off and said "Oh, bring it in, I'll look at it!" Well, smart little me had already brought my stuff, so I went and got it from the car. She took 2 of my sets that she thought would go well with a purse and scarf she had, and asked how much I wanted for them. She is going to try selling them for me, and I hope she can!

I went down to her shop yesterday (with some of my stuff again), so I could see what she was selling, and what I could make for some of the dresses she had in the store. She showed me a gift shop that was attached to her store, and she asked if I'd want to sell my bracelets in the shop. I said it would be fine with me if it was ok with the lady who owned the shop!! So, I left her with my 36 bracelets that I had made. Whooo hooo!!! I certainly hope this is the beginning of a beautiful business partnership! LOL

Let's see, what else? Well, my Mandy is now off of work since last Friday. She looks like she wants to pull the baby out herself half the time. lol She is due any day now, and for some reason, I feel fiercely protective of her. I can't explain it. I guess it's because I want to be there when the baby is going to be born. No, not IN the room with her. Just at the hospital. And if she is going into labor when she is here, and her husband is at work, I want to be able to help get her to the hospital. Or if she goes into labor in the middle of the night, I want to go with them. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's my excitement about her having this baby. I just don't want to feel like I'm intruding! I'm just anxious, that must be it!!

Well ok, maybe that much stuff isn't going on with me. I thought I had more to write about, but apparently I'm on brain overload. So, this ends tonight's recap of my life right now. Have a good night!
And yes, I said good night, and I have a sunny picture with this journal. Doesn't seem to make sense, but's that ok. It doesn't have to.

My Most Inspiring Possession

Image
A dear friend named Judi, whose journal I've been reading for years, has brought back her ARTSY ESSAY CONTEST ! I'm very excited about this, and hope that others will read the wonderful essays already posted in Judi's blog! Here is the topic for this month's new installment: What is your favorite and most inspiring possession? Tell us about it, and if you want an extra creative challenge... tell us about it without naming it until the very last sentence of your essay:):):) I own alot of possessions. When I first moved out of my parents' house, almost 9 years ago, I took this possession with me. It was mine, I had bought it, but I did allow the other members of my family to use it from time to time while I was at home. This possession has been a tremendous outlet for me to do a wide variety of things. I was able to record the barking of our first family dog, something that was cherished when she sadly died way too early for her doggy lifespan. I also was able to save...

The Ideal Day

Once again, it's that time of month for dear Judi's Artsy Essay Contest! Please see the rules and regulations for this month here . I entered a couple month's ago when Judi decided to revive this wonderful contest, and decided I'd like to give it a shot this month! Here goes! My Ideal Day My ideal day would start out at 7am to get ready for work, instead of getting up to take a pill. My ideal day would be going to work as a teacher, instead of wondering if I'd feel well enough to do anything for that day. My ideal day would be working out at a gym, instead of hoping to have enough energy to just walk for 6 minutes on the treadmill at home. My ideal day would be to freely walk about around my home and in public, instead of being tethered to a plastic tube going into my nose, providing oxygen to keep me going. My ideal day would be remembering meeting times with friends or family, instead of keeping track of the 8 different times I need to take a pill or vitamin in ...

Lost

Growing up with pulmonary hypertension and congenital heart disease was sometimes lonely, because there wasn't anyone around me who felt the same way I did physically. No one had to stay out of gym because they got too tired and too short of breath like I did on a constant basis. No one had to wear a holter monitor like the one time I had to in 4th grade. Talk about trying to play mum ball in class, all you could hear was the monitor thing making noise. Although I could always go to sports games, I wasn't able to participate in any type of sport, because again, it was just physically way too much for my body to handle. I didn't really regret any of this. I thought it was just me and my normal. I thought I was the only person out there who really dealt with this kind of thing, but that was ok. I graduated high school, and started college. I worked, went to classes, and in the last year of college, started going out a lot more. I graduated with my education degree, and began ...
