November first begins Na No Wri Mo (AKA) National Novel Writing Month. I have several published friends who find this extremely helpful and I'll admit I've participated and it does have a tendency to nag at you to accomplish your goal.  Any way its a cool web page if your thinking about writing the great American novel or the great American romance novel.

Not long after I wrote that last post on Thursday my beloved cat Pumpkin passed away in my arms. It was quick, so quick I had no time to call for help or even call my husband. I am grieving her and it has also made the passing of Mom seem more deep more real because Pumpkin was a great help in the grief department. I could cry all I wanted and she would just sit and purr she didn't mind if a few tears got on her.  Nothing like your fur baby in your arms. My heart is so broken because my daily schedule revolved around her and hubby and the unconditional love for more that eighteen years. I know I could not have gotten her to a vet on time and for that I'm thankful. I didn't need to put her to sleep Im thankful for that as well and that it was so quick for her. Now I wait on her ashes and her urn will be here tomorrow via amazon. I don't know how I'm going to put her in that little urn but at least if we move again I will be able to have her with me. I have an entir...

Particularly rough week why I think its writing the thank you notes but I could be wrong it could be the Christmas season setting in as well. I have Halloween decoration I haven't put up, a first for me. I think I'm going to skip it this years.  Today I'll attempt to finish a few more cards I managed three then the tears would not stop so I stopped.  Maybe I'll get at least three today. I also need to work on my wings we have a party here in the community and its awesome live music and dancing food friends... so fun to look forward to this weekend. I'm going to attempt to make mini butterflys out of petals I found  in the bride section and do a pipe cleaner stem maybe some hot glue... Oh I wish I would have thought of glittered hot glue when I was at the store. Ps. if your reading I found an awesome Peony Spellbinders die with stamp on clearance at Hobby Robby it was 14.99 marked down to 3.74. I splurged and bought two so when I'm making flowers I don't need...

Not so Perky this week I'm struggling with that 5;20 getting up thing. In other news I'm excited and waiting for a book that I can't wait to read to be released next week (Susan Stoker) and for another author to finish a story on her blog, that would a cup of coffee to me! I bet you didn't know I've seriously cut back on caffeine no coffee (only indulging when I go to Bob Evans) only tea and with much less sugar no more Mc Donald's Sweet tea unless its a half cut and even then at times its way to sweet. I will say I do splurge at the end of the the week with a specialty drink or Mountain Dew. Arrrg I'm so tired and cold! I think I'm going to give in and nap this morning with my big cuddly blanket and Pumpkin. Ah yes my girl she is still around and I'm so Thankful for that that words just don't cover it at this point in my life.

Today marks four weeks since my Mom has passed. I miss her I know I always will. I have Thank you cards to send out but its extremely difficult to do the tears get in the way for some reason. The cards have been folded and now the face needs cut that will be todays task decide on a die for the front then cut them out .......and get my chrysanthemums for frost tonight .........and plan dinner.  I woke up with a scratchy throat and made myself some tea took Rod to work because he went back to days. Its an odd feeling going back to a long lost routine.  I  hope you all are safe and sound and warm its 43 burrrrrr! See y'all later.

Proof of life post. Lol Sort of joking. Life has been unusually cruel this past year I've lost my Gallbladder, My Dad passed March 3 and my Mom September 17. My world will never be the same again. As for scrapbooking I find it extremely difficult to up load pictures to the blog its a very long process since my camera is old school no bluetooth and no ports on the mac. Thats right y'all I went mac aint goin' back. So that means I need a special drive to plug my usb port then down load the picture and then process the pics into the blog and I have no ideal how to do that these days. Learning curve! This life is about the learning curve. So I have no ideal but its a possibility I may just close the blog up if I do I'll give some notice (but would anyone really notice? I think not).  I hope life finds you well, happy and content. I hope you have made peace in your heart. I hope you know know love and have found the root of it.
