I sat my butt in my garage and for the 2nd day watched the people who crawl out from under rocks come in, browse my “treasures” and go back into hiding again.

So, this is what I do at night as of late…come down here, go online and just check out different sites and email…and write in here…and that keeps me up WAY PAST MY BEDTIME. I know I can’t keep this up when school starts. (Only 10 more weekdays of freedom from students!)

Kelly is walking the 3-day Breast Cancer Walk this weekend. I wonder how she is doing. My sis says that it is quite a powerful experience. I’d like to do it sometime. Maybe after Punky grows up a bit.

My Bears won tonight… YEAH! 🙂 I love living in the land of the vikings and HATING the Vikings ! 🙂 Of course, it’s not too hard to do these days!

I’m starting to wonder if my little cocoon away from reality will burst soon. It seems as though since Punky was born, well, even when I was pregnant for that matter, I just wanted to be in my little “world.” The news made me sick to my stomach. I couldn’t even watch Law & Order! Now, I listen to the news and I just can’t wait until 2008 when someone else can lead this country. I guess I get so flustered as these stories go on and on about all the killing, the wars, the destruction, and I just think about Punky and how I don’t want any moms out there to ever have to lose their sons (or daughters…..but I don’t have a daughter yet!) It’s a deep sense of sorrow I have for others when I hear these stories on the news, read about them online or watch them on the news. I know it’s that mommy instinct in me, but it just sickens me every night at about 5-6 pm.

On to other things……

My sister was prepped for surgery last night..they thought she had to have her appendix out. When in fact, it was her C-section scar healing still! It hurt her so badly as she was out walking around all day at Six Flag’s! They say it takes 6-12 months to heal from that surgery. As one who also had one, I believe that!

I have CAMP KUMBAYA on Monday. (That’s what I call it!) It’s that touchy-feely stuff they make you go to for “team building” exercises. I know why they do it, I just don’t like doing it. We’ll see how that goes!

I had an interesting conversation with an older close friend of mine today about whether or not that person had made the right choice way back in the 1970s when deciding whom to marry. Isn’t that thought provoking? Wow! think back at what would have happened if you (meaning you in the general sense) decided to marry someone else… Your whole life would be so different… kids would not exist… or they would but they’d be different kids… how does one know they ever make the right decision in this area? (Well, if it ends in divorce you know that it was not the RIGHT one for you at that point in your life) but if you go on living in your marriage…how do you know? This is where people would say “Why would you even question that…you just KNOW if you’re with the right person.” BUT, you can be with a right person, but not THE right person. Make sense? I really believe EVERYONE has a soulmate…and I think that not everyone finds theirs in this lifetime…or in this person’s case, they found that person, but chose the wrong person to marry… how frustrating!

ok, that’s a bit too deep for me at this hour, on a Friday night after a glass of Merlot…
