I know I haven't written on here in quite some time but I didn't realize it had been almost 3 months! Time flies by so quickly and not just when you're having fun - it just flies anyway! The older I get, the faster it goes.
So, what have I been up to lately? Mostly just working. I did ask to cut my hours back at the store because I've been really stressed and overextended for awhile and it was starting to get to me. I still feel like I'm perpetually tired and not at all motivated to do anything these days.
It doesn't help that I signed up to do every upcoming art project for our online group (Paper Traders)... As a moderator, I feel obligated to participate but when I have to create under the gun, I don't feel in touch with my muse at all and I'm not very satisfied with my results. I'm starting to get a few of the deadlines behind me and that is helping with the pressure.
Of course, Christmas is fast approaching and, although I love this time of year, it is a very stressful time - with the hustle and bustle and the expenses! And I feel obligated to do as much as I can for everyone on my list. I told my mom the other day that I actually spend less money on the people who mean the most to me because they're the ones who understand if I just can't afford to do more.
The weather has finally started to cool down here and we've had a couple of snowfalls but nothing real big yet. This weekend was supposed to be a big storm - and I guess it was in the mountains - but we only got a little bit of rain and it was close to 60 degrees... not winter-like at all. Everyone thinks I'm crazy, but I love the winter. And not just because I missed it all those years I was in California (although partly so) but because I just love weather - rain, lightning, thunder, snow, fog - I love all of that kind of stuff. Maybe I'm weird but I just do!
So, my Broncos are still hanging in there, although they've struggled this season. It's so hard to have to root against the Chargers because I like them, too, but my boys in orange & blue will always be first in my heart! They're in Oakland tomorrow and that should be another win for us... but you never can tell - LOL!
I did manage to get home this summer... I spent a week at the end of September visiting my family in Wyoming. It was a nice and relaxing week. Mostly I just worked on crafts with my mom, which is all I really wanted to do. And I got to meet my new nephew, Simon, who is beautiful and he loves his aunt so that was awesome too =)
I actually had a couple dates with my friend Gary, who I met online about 8 or 9 years ago and never met in person until recently. I think he was pretty crazy about me but I just never felt the chemistry so... there you go. Nothing much to tell there. I'd really like to meet a nice mormon guy about my age but apparently there aren't any here in southern Colorado - not active ones anyway. So I wonder if I've placed myself in a big black hole here but, at this point, I'm still committed to staying for the near foreseeable future anyway...
And that's my life in a nutshell.
