I know, it feels like it's been like for-evah since I posted a nice, inspiring, project-y kind of post. I've been busy, busy, busy.
With life.
Some good stuff, some challenging stuff. Some happy, some sad, and a couple of brain freeze days where I sat down to write and came up with nothin'.
So, here I am, checking in on my sad little neglected blog, hoping you're checking back in too.
Lots of stuff going through my head today. I woke up yesterday to rain, which was a much welcomed surprise. (Oh, the weather guy on TV said it was coming, but he's wrong so often that we pay him no mind.)Today, no rain, but still, that yummy, crisp autumn feeling wafting through the air.
(I'm so ready for fall.)
Last week I got a nice promotion at work, and I am going to be one ca-razy busy girl during the work week now. (I love that!) Of course, this promotion called for new shoes.
(You saw that one coming, right?)
Also, as you know, I have another new fat and healthy grand babe.
(My favorite quote to date from sweet lil' Keaton's oldest brother as he came barreling into the hospital room with his two year old bother in tow, was "Can I pet him, Mom?") Needless to say, Mr. Keaton is not experiencing a lack of attention from any of us!
Grand babe numero six is due in just a few more weeks here, and so the baby lovin' is running wild up here.
Along with the overwhelming joy that new babies bring, we've had some sad, and all-too-soon goodbyes take place. Losing someone you love is hard on the heart, and causes us all to take a pause as we realize that life is far too short, and far, far too fragile to be taken for granted.
Ever.
Make sure people know you care, and tell 'em you love them, while they're here.
Often.
And, make sure you laugh some, everyday.
I'll be sharing a much less rambling, much more cohesive-get-your-decorating-mojo-on post tomorrow.
I pinky-swear.



It's always great to receive a notice in my email box that you have a new post . . . even after a delay. Take care of life first, of course, and then take care of those of us who love your blog.
Sad to hear of your loss, but very glad of your new grandbaby and new promotion!

I'm so sorry to hear you've had a loss in your life. It's never easy to say goodbye! My life has been crazy crazy, too, and in the middle of it all - a new grandbaby. Isn't it a blessing to have something so precious in the middle of the craziness? Wishing you well with your new promotion - and your new shoes! I didn't get new shoes. Wonder what I'm doing wrong?
