Killer Updates from the Planet X
So I haven't updated in forever (big surprise). Not from lack of things to talk about, but more from lack of energy to type it all out. It has been a pretty busy month not only for myself, but everyone around me. Is it possibleto have a full moon for a month? Because it certainly feels like it. Things haven't been bad, but they just don't seem "right" if that makes any since.
Three of the most important people in my life are going through very difficult times right now, and it is very hard for me not to internalize their difficulties and make them my own. I want everyone to be happy, especially those close to me, and it hurts that these situations are ones that they have to deal with on their own. I can't help anymore than lending an ear when they feel like talking about it, which I am sure they appreciate, but I just wish I could do more.
Worrying can wear a girl out....
On a happier note, it's also been a month of fun things, too! A couple weeks ago, Kevin and I went on our first real vacation as a married couple (Honeymoon excluded) to Las Vegas, NV. It was a lot of fun. We weren't sure what to expect, as we had never been there, but we saw a lot of cool things and ate a lot of good food, and gambled away a little bit of money that we will never see again. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, namely your money, as it turns out.
My mom and I also went to a papercraft convention down in Kansas City. The dealers room was huge and packed full of scrapbooking and card making tools. We saw a lot of neat demostrations and learned a couple new techniques. And I also found a really cool way to scrapbook my Vegas vacation, so I will have to embark on that process as soon as my photos arrive.
Finally, Kevin bought me a new laptop. It is a huge 17" screen dell laptop with WAY more whistles and bells then I will ever need, but he was proud of himself and I have to admit the thing is amazing. I think it was his clever plot to get me to start playing WoW (World of Warcraft) again. It worked. Darn him.
So now I am going to enjoy my weekend to the best of my ability. It feels like I have been going nonstop for weeks and I just want to relax. It also doesn't help that a cold has settled in my lungs. Bleh. But I slept until 11:00 this morning which is unheard of for me, and I am feeling better. I just need a little R&R while I spend a nice, calm weekend with my husband.
