Spring Is Here!

Well, spring is here, yes. But only on the calendar!!! It certainly doesn't feel spring-like at all here in Niagara Falls! It's been chilly, although I've been noticing more sunny days lately. However, that's not really helping heat things up! I'm so tired of being cold. I'm tired of the heat going on, tired of long underwear, tired of flannel pjs, tired of plastic over the windows!! I just can't wait for the weather to start being more consistently WARM! Easter is Sunday and it won't feel anything like it, only in spirit, really! So I guess I just need a little more patience!

Yesterday I went out with my mom. I needed some groceries, and after we shopped, my mom bought pizza and we had lunch at Mandy's house. The kids are so cute, but I admit I miss my little nephew most of all! I feel like I've been missing him growing up this winter. We spent a couple hours over there, and it was nice. I watched my nephew crawl everywhere, and pull himself up to stand against stuff, or climb. Boy, he's a fast little buggar!! LOL! No wonder Mandy has to keep her eye on him every second! He's so adorable, though! He kept smiling at me, and I just had to squeeze him a couple times, and of course, give him kisses! I'll be seeing Mandy and her family on Sunday again, so that's very exciting!

I received my prize the other day from Judi, the one I won for my date on Valentine's day! It is gorgeous!! It's so much better in person than in a picture, but I did take some pics, and I will post them soon! It's already hanging in my bedroom, and I just love going in there to look at it!

I'm about to have a little lunch, and then I need to take some pics of beads that I'd like to try selling on ebay. They are just beads I don't really plan on using, and they've been sitting around for quite awhile! I hope someone else will find some use for them!

Not too much else going on around here! Kinda boring entry! lol

It is funny how people up north long for the warmth and us in the deep south long for cooler days :) I am glad at least the sun is shining. You are pretty far up there though...give it a few more weeks...one day you will wake up and it will be warm and sunny :)

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 ...
