March Madness



Well, I haven't really embraced the blogging every day thing.  I think it is strange for people to know what I am up to all the time and for safety sake I don't want to announce when I won't be at home.  Anyway, here are a few things that have gone on since I last checked in.

For anyone who would like to give painting a try (the on canvas artistic kind) we had an awesome class at Brandyn Gasvodas on Saturday. Ingoodglazes.com is where you can find out more information and Shelly was a fabulous teacher.  A bunch of ladies painting, laughing, drinking wine, and having fun it was a great.  I also acquired a chicken coop that day!!!  It was headed to the dump and ended up on the back of my flatbed!  Now I have another project that I am so excited about but not really sure if anyone else is.   

Alison's Pantry order #4 went in on Sunday.  I am so in love with the idea and hope it continues to take off like it is.  It is so important in our area to have a well stocked pantry.  I know I have preached it for months but when the weather is bad or a person is stranded by flood water, it sure is good to know that you have things covered.  I am not just talking food stuff, but water, heat, and an alternate power source.  Mother Nature keeps reminding us to get our shit together and I hope some of you are listening.

The best part of the weekend was getting to hang out with my favorite girl in the world, Hannah.  She is my 16 year old daughter that goes to West High in Billings.  Honestly, I am crazy about both of my kids.  I will chat more about them as issues come up and believe me they will!!

The most interesting thing going on today is I am having my house cleaned.  To clarify, that means by someone besides me, my mom, or the kids.  Having a cleaning person is a first for me and I must say I have been stressed about it all weekend!!!  Yes its a bit expensive, apparently I can afford it, yes I could do it myself, but you know what I don't get it done, so by God I am hiring Lori.  There are some things that need to be tackled and honestly I am just not up to it all.  So hate me, or ask me for her number, either way is fine with me!!  Oh and let me say that what she finished today is sparkling!!!!

Rock on Ladies!!

I have been waiting on a sign, thinking I wanted to start a blog but not sure how or when.  Well, at my request a few weeks ago the cable t.v. was scheduled to be shut off.  When I got home from a meeting today, it was off.  I honestly didn't know how to act for a second.  I grabbed my popcorn from last night and sat down to watch Ellen..... and nothing.  Silly as it sounds I just sat there staring at the stupid thing wondering what the hell happened.  Then I remembered, OMG what am I going to do.  My best guess is lots of other stuff I should have been doing all along, well as soon as the shock wears off!!  I feel so uncomfortable right now, its the weirdest thing.  On a different note, the meeting today with the Crow Tribe was actually very productive and I have high hopes for the upcoming spray season!

Change Sucks

As a people we cry out for change, especially when it involves things we don't like.  I want things to change, you want things to change, the country wants to change.  However, when it comes time for action, I cave, you cave, we all cave.  Change is a commitment and commitment is fricking HARD!  Just sitting down to write this is a little bit annoying.  There is a lot going on in my life, some hard some easy, and I know I am not alone in that place.  People all around me are moving and shifting in their lives, trying to figure out where they fit and where they don't.  I am writing this stuff down because for me it is a type of commitment.  Its harder to just give when I know others may be watching, reading, or just waiting to see what I am up to.  Mostly, I don't want anyone to think they are alone in their struggles.  Revealing my stuff might make yours a little easier to handle today. Today the w...

Blogging: Epic Fail

Yep it has been almost a year since I last graced these pages with my whit and charm!  Maybe because I was out of whit and my charm was wearing a little thing.  I thought it was a good time to add some writing to my schedule, but was I wrong.  It was a terrible time to add ANYTHING to my schedule!  It still may be, we will see. I just returned from a trip to Playa Del Carmen, Mexico.  It was a incredible trip with some amazing and very diverse women.  Every one of them inspired me in some way and it was truly and experience of a lifetime.  Now we embark on one of my new subjects and absolutely the last thing I want to deal with but the absolute FIRST thing I need to deal with, a weight loss challenge.  I weighed in the night we returned from an all you can eat, all you can drink vacation, and needless to say it wasn't pretty!!  I may or may not keep you posted on this little adventure. Next I will be downsizing and getting my house sold....
