Yes, it’s been forever since I posted! No rhythm found yet in my day-to-day, unfortunately. I’m trying. Between working late, meetings, and well, yes, falling madly in love, I’ve had little time.
So it’s out there. Eric will likely read this, and anyone who knows me well, knows that this is a huge thing for me to admit. But, I’ve found a wonderful, wonderful man, and so after work (which sometimes takes Eric actually arriving at school to make me leave!), I spend time with him and his kids.
Then, this last weekend, I was sick. Sunday I was in bed most of the day. I did get up long enough to crochet. When Eric called to check on me, he asked nonchalantly, “So what are you doing?” I answered with, “Crocheting a scarf.” Yes, I continue to surprise him with everything I do! I just told him a few days ago I was a published writer. This, of course, is the whole process of falling in love, right? Finding out the things we do and every day will likely to surprise him.
I got this wonderful painting in the mail today from the Funky Art Queen–my prize for creating an image of myself for her contest. It’s beautiful! I also got a large packet of old photos for my genealogy project, and I got a Civil War Pension Packet last week, so I have all these things piling up on my dining room table. I will get to it all, I promise. It’s just that wonderful feeling I get when I’m with Eric is really hard to pass up for the other stuff.
No worries, I’ll get a rhythm going. It’ll happen. Of course, cheer leading will be starting soon, and that will throw a wrench in that, I suppose!!
All is well. I’m happy. I’m loving my life and dreaming of art projects. Soon, my friends, an art project will emerge I promise! Plus, my sister in law, who is a photographer, is giving me her “old” digital SLR camera, so I’m glad I didn’t buy one. The one she’s giving me is much, much better, with lenses and the whole shebang. She got a very expensive replacement, so she’s taking very good care of me by giving me her “old” camera (notice I say “old” very loosely)
Keep on me everyone. I’ve not forgotten the blog. Promise.

No worries? We sound alike. But of course, we’re cool like that!
Thanks for calling me back you loser-friend….I think this love thing is interfering with your Stacey time big! We have to fix that! You never answered me–what time will you be through town? Because it matters! (I’m a big deal in Lee’s Summit…okay not a big deal, but I’m a little deal).
And Kelly, I’ll say it again–I’m so happy for you. And for Eric. You deserve the best stuff, you’ve waited all your life for the best stuff. Well, Jake is the best, but you know what I mean. xoxoxo
OH LOVE! That will do it! I totally understand. heehee
WOW! It’s been awhile since I’ve been able come to your page–been a little preoccupied becoming a grandma! I am so happy for you. Love is so much fun. He has to come over SOON. Let’s set it up! How hard is it to crochet a scarf?
