Hodge Podge

Hi everybody! I know it's been awhile. I must admit I am struggling with the blog. I'm not motivated to post, read or comment. I hope it's just a phase because I miss my more consistent contact with all of you. I have sensed that this seems to be a trend with many. Many of my faithful reads havn't posted in weeks even months. Maybe it's just the time of year. Well, I titled this blog Hodge Podge because that's what it's going to be. There is no specific topic, just many random thoughts.

First, I would like to say that we were blessed with Miss Anon at ladies night this week. This was her first appearance. I had to take this picture because my little dog Sandy has a special honing beacon that lets her know who doesn't really like her. She then makes it her mission to lick them into submission. Miss Anon doesn't really care for dogs, but she finally allowed Sandy to lay on her lap. This was definitly picture worthy. As you can see her identity is still secure.



Staying with the ladies night theme, we are moving this Thursday to Lynn's house at 6:30 for a Mary Kay party. If you show up here, it will be dark, but Sandy will be here to keep you company. Those of you reading may want to call any that you know don't actually read the blog (I'm thinking mainly Jill).

Moving on...My little gem of a car is feeling like more of a lemon at the moment. In the last week I have put over $600.00 into my little car. I'm trying not to be negative, but I'd love to have a word with Dave Ramsey right about now. It would go something like, "New Cars Rule!" My dad is encouraging me that in the end I will still come out ahead and hopefully this will be all I'll have to do for quite some time, but I'm not feeling very optimistic tonight. Pessimistic maybe.

I'm not feeling well. My stomach is revolting and has been for 3 days. Today it is worse, but I think it's due to stress over the car. I think I might have a bug of some sort. Anyway, not so fun.

Had a SUPER time with my little sis this weekend. It was too short, but I enjoyed it immensely. I miss her.

School is still REALLY good! I'm having a great year and I'm so thankful.

The diet is horrible. I feel very much like a failure right now. Don't know how to fix it. Although with all my trips to the bathroom today, I will probably be down a few pounds in the morning. ;)

I am EXTREMELY excited for basketball to start. I know it's going to be a great season! Go KATS!!

Well, I think that's all for now. I'm feeling a little shivery so I'm gonna go burrow down in a blanket and watch some TV. Maybe relaxing will help.

Have a good week All!

It was nice to find a new post on your blog. I look everyday...2 or 3 times a day and nothing. I think there must be some sort of bug going around...I have the same feeling in my stomach. I haven't been sick yet but I have felt like I was going to for days...I KNOW TMI...Anyway...thanks for commenting on my blog...I worry that what I have to say doesn't come across right.

I'm having the same sorts of feeling about blogging, too. It's not that I don't have the time to do it, it's just that since school started, I don't feel like I have the mental energy to post on my own blog or to keep up with everyone else. When evening comes, after chores are done, kids are to bed and tomorrow is prepared for, my brain energy is spent.

I hope you get to feeling better - and I, too, am ready to see the Lady Wildcats play again.

Like Kim, I check all of the blogs many times each day, hoping for a new post. I was really feeling blah! Now I feel better after reading your new post!! Looking forward to this weekend!!
Love,
Mom

I so agree with Deb! I'm just to mentally spent to post or read. What a lazy bunch we are. Oh well!! Hope all turns out well with the car...I agree, New Cars Rule!!

I have four words for you in regards to your car issue, "I feel your pain".

I spent some time at my conference today writing down some thoughts for a blog post. Hopefully I can organize my thoughts and post this week. Life has just been crazy.

Hope you are feeling better.

This is my 1st time blogging...hope it went through...anyway what I really want to say is I read blogs every once in a great while...however going to a Mary Kay party may just not be my cup of tea and besides I have my 1st round volleyball sectional that night. Darn it I have to miss make up night :-(

Let me rephrase myself (I know I didn't blog, Lord help me if I blog. English majors would find every grammatical and spelling errors and I just don't want to make their day )...This is my 1st time responding is what I meant to say :-)

P.S. Aren't you proud of me for getting into this crazy world of blogging?!

You mean you haven't turned the heat on yet?

I need a copy of that survey/test that you said you get for me ASAP. I really need to get started on something here.

Thanks!
