Personal time at a low
Wow, checking in here, I had no idea that it had been this long since I'd been over this way. I can tell that I have really been focusing on my job blog, trying to get my posts up and trying to raise my pageviews. The more time that I spend doing those things gives me less time to write over here about feelings, thoughts, goings on around the house and with the hipkids. The pay is nice on the other site, but the sentimental value over here cannot have a price put on it. I wish that I could find a way to do it all. There just isn't enough time to do everything that I love to do. But I am doing things and keeping up in other areas. It is just all a give and take.
HH took me out for a surprise dinner tonight. It was wonderful. He arranged for sitters that I love and trust, and told me to not make dinner plans. Fine by me. Although I have been cooking a wonderful pizza often lately with all of the great tomatoes that my friends have had the fortune to grow. We tried a garden this year and now we know where we shouldn't plant a garden in our yard next year. Live and learn. With all of the tomato gifts coming our way, I don't think that we'll need to plant tomatoes even if we try a garden next year. Anyway, I use the Pillsbury crust, fresh tomatoes, basil and mozzerella and pepper. Bake at 400 for 12 minutes. We all love it. We finish off a full pizza between the 4 of us. I think that the boy and the girl eat about the same amount. He eats like a pig and she eats like a bird for their ages. Soon, we'll be up to having to make more food to keep us all fed.
Today at the library, before coffee with a friend, I checked out the Jane Fonda autobiography on CD. I'm loving it. I also got 1940s house on DVD from PBS. That would be my ultimate torture besides having to go on Survivor or some other freak show like that. I like living in 2006 and have no desire to go backwards in time unless it is to see my dad again and they haven't created a show like that yet!
My hipsis convinced me to join myspace just to keep up with the goings on of the kids and everyone else on there. All of my siblings have a page, so I made one for the hipfamily. Well, I found a background that I liked called Enigma, and now all of my words have disappeared into the design. I really balked at the myspace idea. I'm way toooo old. I'm wondering if Enigma is giving me a sign. Especially because all of my friends over there and my cousins send just incredibly nasty pictures as well. I think that that is a sign that my friends are pretty nasty as well. Gotta love em though.
This feels good getting all of this down and out of my head. Kind of a clearing before I head off to bed. I really do need to spend some more time over here.
