(no subject)

I rarely get sick, but I was sick two weeks ago and was finally feeling better this last week until yesterday. I feel absolutely horrible. Yesterday I felt like I was getting sick but I always fight it..I never submit! So I tend to go about my day as usual but I am struggling today. I actually feel like going and laying down which is most definitely not like me. I am just worried if I do I won't sleep tonight. My throat is killing me, I barely have a voice, can't clear my throat and my head is pounding. I feel feverish but Kristen said that I haven't had a fever so who knows. Last night I was just super clammy. I am just down right tired of either being sick or hurt lately!

It is kind of weird because when I am not feeling well that is when I make some of my best blinkies and have the urge to just create. It seems like the only thing I can be lazy and at the same time enjoy doing when I am sick. So I have been piecing together some little scenes the last two days! Here are some of the ones I made, please do not rip them apart or anything, I just wanted to show you all what I made:


I have a few things to get made for the boutique still, which is a week from tomorrow. Yikes! I am just hoping I feel better so that I can get some more work done and get all organized and ready. I would like to be ready at least the day before if not two days before. I want to have everything packed and ready to go so I just have to worry about setting up on sale day! I know I will feel stressed so the more I can have done and not have worry about the better.

Yesterday I got all of my Christmas cards ready to mail out. I hope to have them out in the next couple days. This year I am sending out closer to 20 which I think is almost double compared to last year! Well I guess I am going to go chill and see if I can get myself to feel even just a little better! I was hoping to have been back at spin class this next week but, I guess I will have to just see how it goes. I hope everyone else is well!
I have been reading all of your entries. I try to leave at least a little comment so that you know I am reading! ♥

P.S. How do you all cross post..I have never figured that out!

30 Days of Thankfulness

Day 25: I am thankful for beautiful sunsets! This picture was taken at Pudding Stone many many years ago now. There is just something about a beautiful sunset that makes you feel so much better about life and the things in it. Every time I see one and it's beauty I can't help but be thankful to be alive! Colorado sure had some amazing sunsets. After all you know what they say, If God's not a Bronco fan, why are sunsets orange?!

30 Days of Thankfulness

Day 26: I am thankful for my aunt (mom's sister) Although she is very annoying sometimes, I am grateful that I was able to have her around while growing up. She was the only person that was actually in my younger sister and I's lives. We didn't grow up with any family around but she was there for the most part. She would come to holidays and birthdays. My mom didn't get along with any of her other siblings and my dad did not get along with his brother. His sister was killed in high school by a drunk driver. Now that I am older I know why we were raised without family...more about that on the next post. I was just thankful to have someone else around!

30 Days of Thankfulness

Day 27: I am thankful that I was able to go to school and get my Pharmacy Technician license's. Even though finding any work has been a nightmare, I am glad that I was able to attend, succeed and ultimately become registered and certified. It at least makes me feel like I accomplished something in this world. This picture is of those that graduated at the same time as me. Kyle, the guy on the right was my really good friend but he said some horrible things to me and we had a falling out.

30 Days of Thankfulness

Day 28: I am thankful to have found out last year that I have an older sister I never knew. She is 9 years older than me. There are several reasons I am thankful for this, one being that now I understand some of the family dynamics that I grew up with. We never had any family around, no uncles or aunt's except the one I posted about, very little contact with any grandparent's and I only "know of" a few cousins but do not actually know them. Growing up it was just me, my younger sister and mom and dad. Now I know this was because my dad was keeping a secret that he had another daughter and his family did not support his behavior or the fact that he abandoned her at age 10. Another reason I am thankful is because now I know why my dad was the asshole that he was and why he was abusive to me all the time, or at least I have a pretty good understanding as to why, rather than wondering "why me?" for the rest of my life. My older sister's mother was smart. The second my dad raised his hand to her, she left, unlike my mom.
