Even a Fairy Godmother Needs a Break

I know that my writing of late has become very sporadic. Not only that, but it has also become uninformative. To put things simply, I don't feel inspired to say much. There are a lot of things that I could write, or look at. But what fun is there in making things up?

I kind of needed the break. We all need a break from what we're doing now and then, and for me this was an unplanned but useful amount of time. It's given me a chance to evaluate what we've been looking at and figure out what direction I want to go in from here.

So what has been going on behind the scenes here? To be blunt, nothing noteworthy. No, I'm not deathly ill. No, I have not managed to find a niche here yet. No, I most definitely have not forgotten the people that I love that are far away. They're just far away from me. And I am far, far, far away from them.

The funny thing is that my cousin told Squash that. Because he was using a map to learn about where we are. He thinks we're on a whole different planet. Or, in Far, Far Away like in the Shrek movies. He still wants me to go back. It's always 'come home'.

But it's hard to come home when you're not sure anymore exactly where home is. Home is a funny thing like that. Sometimes home is where everyone you know is. Sometimes it's the place where we hang our hats for a little while.  Other times it's where someone else is that makes it home to us.

I don't know where home is anymore.

Kind of sad in a way I suppose. But it's fair to say that the only way to figure out where home is is to evaluate the things that are valued. But how do you decide what really matters?

I really feel like I need a break at this point. I need something to go right. Something needs to happen that will shed some light on the directions I have to go in. But what?

I guess we'll just wait and see.

Now that I've gotten that off my chest, I will try to get things back into an almost predictable order. After all we all like something we can predict.

Order can be nice in this chaotic world.

Want to know a Secret about Polke a Dot?

 

Polke A Dots birthday is coming up in two weeks. Which means he's getting OLD! So here's the plan, I'd LOVE for you all to drop him a message or an ecard into his email. Or if you're braver you can send him a birthday card at home (if you need the address email me and we can see about it)

So here's is his email address : polke(DOT)a(DOT)dot(AT)gmail(DOT)com

Just replace the (dot) with a . and the (at) with an @ and you can send him wishes for his birthday.

Now, if you know  him a little more and think you would like to really make his day, he's mentioned a few things that he would like for his birthday. He'd love to see the new Iron Man 3 movie. He'd really enjoy some Yankee Candle Apple scented things, or their chocolate scented items. Or clothes, he could use some new socks or a few t-shirts. He wears an XL these days >.<.

So anyways, thanks for reading, and I know he isn't going to appreciate that I posted this, but tough potatoes.

Traveling 2/13

So today has been a very long day for me already. We left the house around 3:30 AM and I was checked in and through security by 4:30 AM. I had to throw a few things away out of my suitcase, but... it could have been worse I suppose. I keep reminding myself that it's just stuff. It isn't like I can't get new stuff. But I like my old familiar stuff. I know what it is and I know what I have...er, rather I know what I had.

It was  really nice to see almost everyone yesterday before I left. I know that there are some people that I didn't get a chance to see before I left this morning. But no worries! I will be back eventually. You all know I'm like a weed, my roots go deep and I always come back... it may take a bit of time but I rarely go away for long.

Cayden made me a neat play dough man who's been keeping me company at the airports. He's still a little squishy but am guessing he will harden up some as time goes by. Which is good I suppose. There's a little boy here at the airport in Minnesota and he has on the same monster pajamas that Gavin has. Phi wanted to see a Moose. *points below* Best I can do hun. But maybe once I get to Cali there will be some more interesting things that I can post pictures of.

Anyway. I still have a long flight from here to San Diego. Not that it's a bad thing. Am just very very very tired ~_~. Plus I feel achy and my shoulders hurt. I really should have thought out my packing better. Meh, lesson learned a little bit too late. But yeah, am on my way. Things are new, and there's going to be a lot to do and figure out. But for now... I just have to wait out the day as I travel. It's tiresome, tedious and frustrating. But it's ok, it is really really ok. I have things to look forward to, as well as worry about. But yes. A bit longer before I actually get to San Diego. But at least you have this update for now.

First Test At Flight

This is my first post on this blog. It's not really a blog that's going to interest everyone in the world. But it's intended to help keep a log of events and offer a connection from me to my family, my nieces and nephews, cousins, brothers, and parents.

I know that people have a lot of different things that they enjoy in their lives, so this is a moment to share some of the things that I'm doing in mine to help us all stay connected. Not only that It's a way that we can remember memories in the future. Heaven forbid something happens that makes it so we forget.

Which means the next couple of days are going to have a few "catch up" and event type notices,so that we're all on the same page. We've done a lot in the past few days, and am happy to have done them with my family. So... uhm.. thanks for reading, and welcome to this blog.

This blog post is dedicated to Jax. We don't know you yet, and you don't know us, but... when you need us, we'll be here. You're not born yet, but baby XD you're already causing a stir.
