Hi, friend! http://sign-serve.co.uk/contact.php?digjdigut=72&zjsonusa=248&tylaw=14

Gone, but not forgotten

Just got back from a week long trip to Duluth Minnesota and realized that I never post here anymore.
Blogging just isnt my thing.  But as I have a few friends who still read here, I figured I would reach out and say hello, find out whats new in your world.   Drop me a line  :)  I miss you's

SURGERY NUMBER FIVE!!!

Is now behind me.  Yippeee!!!
Doctor did some more work on my right ankle, hopefully to lessen the pain.
shaved some bone from one side and took a screw out from the other (the thing looks like a deck screw I swear!!)
Anyhow...I've been spending a lot of time on the couch knitting and crochet-ing
next weekend marks the official start of rehearsals for NJ Ren-Fair 2011.  I'm kind of limited to
what I can do still, because of all the stitches in my foot but I will make an appearance.  Stitches come out
a week from today (i hope).

In other news,  I bought a sewing machine... busy doing stuff with that
and... some art journaling that some day I hope to have pictures up
so..  thanks for reading /following  (there are only four of you after all)  but I don't blame you since
its been almost a year since i wrote anything.
I have been busy doing other things though, perhaps the blogging bug is back.
xoxo

ya know

... i'm starting to realize that blogging just isn't my thing.
I try and try and try to get into it
and it doesnt happen
I read a lot of blogs
I just dont write a lot of blog posts
not sure why that is
just ... ponderings on a uh  tuesday night/wednesday morning

In the studio today....

... doing a bit of reading, hopeing to get some inspiration. finished a knitting project
finished a jewelry project
started a collage project

... now its time to re-fuel (or re-fill) the muse....

Have you read it?

More snow...

we got well over 2 feet of snow over the weekend
and hey, this just in
they are calling  (they again)   for 10-18 inches of snow starting Tuesday and ending by midnight wednesday.
ummm
shovels anyone
quick  we need more french toast!!!

Happy Friday!

"they"  are predicting 40+inches of snow this weekend
whoever "they" are.   *insert rolling eye face here*

I'm coming down with a cold, so I have made an executive decision to hit the couch and stay there until Monday.

So, have a nice weekend everyone.... see you on the flip side.

Tempest Fugiting.... and some ramblings

So time really does fly... I guess when you spend two weeks reconnecting with someone from your past....meeting a new friend...finding yourself....rediscovering your spirit.... laughing....crying....realizing.... and finally letting go of things that no longer serve you.    Doctors appointments, lawyer meetings, therapy, medication changes (again).... shoes on both feet.... learning how to walk again....

I've spent so much time trying to FIND something, searching, looking, waiting, wondering, wandering and the whole time it was right here just waiting for me to realize ?   I dont know.... I'm still wondering  but not searching.   All of the peices are finally falling into place, I am feeling whole, re-born, re-discovered.

A near death experience and life altering injuries, permanent disability etc.  Really had to back up and regroup.  THIS is my reality now.  THIS is how the rest of my life is going to be.  Deal with it.   The only other option is to roll over and give up.   NOT GONNA HAPPEN.  Not me, I've worked to hard to get where I am, I'm not stopping now.

Thanks for listening to the rambling.... just needed to get this out of my head.  Was going to save it in a draft but then I would chicken out and never publish it.  So, thanks for reading if you managed to get this far.

PS.  I'm not happy that I can't find the spell check button.  so forgive the spelling issues.  thanks

What are you reading? Lets try this again shall we?

I collected all the books I've started recently and put them in a pile behind me. I've looked at them several million times and thought about taking a picture and making a blog post. So, I did. So tell me, what are you reading now?   Here is my list!

book post gone

not quite sure how to do this edit post thing, and i made the entire post disapear
will figure it out later

in the mean time.. thanks for reading

Happy Birthday Gramma!!

85 years ago my grandmother was born

I am so glad!

Happy Birthday Grandma I love you more than words can say!!

Time Flies eh?

Or as my grandmother says Tempest is Fugiting all over the place. I got an unexpected (but welcome) call from my cousin yesterday. She had free passes to see The Lovely Bones. I had read the book some time ago (written by Alice Sebold) and have been wanting to see the movie. Being on a limited budget a free movie day sounded good to me!! I highly recommend seeing the movie, it was very very well done.... and THEN after, read the book. If you read first, watch later, you will be left with lots of (hey wait, that wasn't in the book). Happens all the time. Either way it was a very well done movie, the cinematography was excellent and the "in between" reminded me of What Dreams May Come (with Robin Williams).

I'm still contemplating writing a post about my piercing(s) experience. For now, I will leave you with a picture...

See the little heart in the inside of my ear? That's the newest ear piercing. Called a Daith piercing. So yea, that's it for now. Happy hump day all!!

Happy Monday

All my days seem to run together lately... a lot is going on in my world. Some I can talk about, some I can't, and some I just plain don't want to. *sigh* I had a house guest all week and really enjoyed having someone here in the house with me. Now, I am trying VERY hard not to notice how quiet it is here when there is no one around but me and the pups. Music is on...journal is out...lists are made (want to do, not need to do)

So far today I've danced (as well as my broken body is able), listened to music ( I am so grateful my hearing is intact) and I have spent the remainder of my amazon gift card from Christmas on a new book and a movie. I will not get either until the end of January, as Super Shipper Savings will group the two together and the movie (Saw 6) doesn't come out until the 26Th of the month. It will give me something to look forward to, and an unexpected surprise in the mail, as I will have forgotten by then that I ordered them.

I have so much I want to do and in the end I just end up sitting and doing nothing. I'm not sure what that is about or why exactly, but hopefully writing it down will help get it out of my brain and somewhere else so it all stops swirling around. So I guess for now, that's it. Hope you all have a great week.

I'm back

I dont know how often I will be writing
but I plan to write.

A lot has been going on
and I need to talk about it
I dont know who's gonna read it
but I'm going to put myself out there
what have I got to lose?

See you soon
I'm off to get my nipple pierced
... maybe I'll blog about the experience.

And the hits just keep on coming...

It's been a while since I've written
I can't even begin to go into details about whats going on with me.

The short version:

I sprained my already injured ankle (like severe sprain)
I found out yesterday I lost my job
I will no longer have health insurance by months end
I was denied disability for a bunch of dumb reasons (yes I'm appealing)



So, here I sit. Very scared, alone, lonely and just kind of wondering
HTF I got where I am. I'm allowing myself a few days to wallow and mourn
and then I will pick myself up by my bootstraps and continue on like always.

Its time for me to start writing again, doing some art in the studio and perhaps
get some books and Cd's up on amazon to generate some income. If you've gotten this far
thanks for reading. I'm also trying to reach out and get out of my own head, hopefully blogging will help.

Wow, its been a while!

Hi all!

Just wanted to stop in, say hello. This time I have a really good reason for not posting on my blog. Seriously? I almost died.

August 1 I was involved in a near fatal car accident. Without too much detail I broke my left leg and my right ankle was twisted nearly off. Doctors managed to save my right foot and put a titanium rod in my left leg and I'm just starting to re-learn how to walk again.

So thats where I've been. I've become more mobile in the past few months, and more able to sit for longer periods of time. I don't know what this will mean for my blogging, but I figured I would stop in to say hello.


Hello *waves* I have missed you all

Hell, I've missed me too!

Tomorrow is Fathers Day

I'll be working

Happy Fathers Day to all of you who happen to be dads and reading my blog
(although I doubt any dads read my blog) just sayin...

I have a dad
and a step dad
sent them both cards , and I will be calling them

stupid hallmark holiday if you ask me
whatever

yanno?

so, how are you? Is anyone still even reading this thing?

I feel kind of lame for not posting more, but you know some times life just gets in the way

xoxo

HAPPY MONDAY!!

Wednesday for the rest of you folks. (see previous blog post about having Monday and Tuesday off this week)
That makes today my Monday at work. yippee (not)

had an ab fab time yesterday! The weather was amazing, the moon and sun were out at the same time. 80 degrees, sunshine, GREAT company and shopping, who could ask for more.

Not much else happening in my world. Just kicking back at work, getting ready to watch the third season of Lost on my ipod and... wait for 10 when I can go home
