This is good-bye for now (kinda). I have been super immersed in the research and setting up of my new business so blogging has not been on my to-do list. I am sure that I will post now and then but my need for therapy is now fulfilled by working on my dream! Please keep in touch via e-mail/phone and check my website for any shop updates!!
XOXO

Update
Because I have been so busy enjoying life I haven't posted. I'm still here!
Been really busy at my job....... working on my business plan!
I came up with the PERFECT locale for my shop and this has kicked me into high gear to get my plan and get some $$$! They begin leasing in 6 months or so although they haven't broken ground yet.
I'll keep ya posted!

Hi Sorry
Sorry I haven't posted since November!
Since my last post revealing my most troubling thoughts about life, I found out that you do actually read my blog! This fact, along with H expressing concern for my most troubling thoughts and our resulting heart-to-heart/pep talk, has led me to think I am really not a Debbie Downer after all. Some may disagree, but in a bit of utopia, I now no longer look at myself as DD nor do I view my future and the future of mankind as so dim. I still feel this world (especially on TV, in parking lots...... EVERYWHERE.... people are only looking out for #1 and will trample over anyone, any rule and any law to get where they are going!! Erg! ) is becoming more evil & un-godly by the day, but I have new glasses on that are tinted with the rosy view that comes with the knowledge that God loves me (and everyone else, but I need to focus on me for a while) and His plan for my future is perfect. I live and rest so well knowing this.
Bearing my soul here is so therapeutic! See - I may look to have it all "together" but in my head I have been a mess.
Thank you H. You are my solid ground.

How Do You Feel?
I think this is a first - 2 posts in one day.
There is something that has been on the back burner of mind for over a year....simmering. I wonder how you all feel about this: I have this constant "sub-thought" in my head that we live in the end times or our children will live in the end times. I know the Bible says that no one knows the day or the hour that the Lord will return, but isn't that different than knowing the end times? Pastor Lon Solomon has a sermon ("Armageddon") that addresses this. From what I remember (I haven't heard this sermon in years) he basically proves with known facts that we are living in the end times. I feel that we are. Do you? 9-11 set me on this path of thought. My conundrum is I feel like life is pointless, dreams are pointless and maybe I shouldn't have any kids to avoid them living in the end times. BUT at the same time I KNOW life is not pointless because "the chief end of man is to glorify God...", to live our lives to bring glory to Him. Part of that is pursuing our dreams because God gave us those dreams that most often go along with our gifts which He definitely gave us!
So... are my thoughts/feelings & my knowledge/faith contradicting each other? Do you feel that it is hard to look forward to the future considering the times we live in? Should I ignore my feelings and just live my life as if the future is bright and rosy?

Hi there
Sorry its been a while since I posted anything. I need to bitch...
1) I have a cold. I don't like feeling lousy
2) I feel antsy. Why? Because my work is not challenging and I could be using this time to do what I want to do. The only reason I am here is for the money. Duh. There are some days when I feel like I am making a difference at work but mostly I feel bored. I feel like that guy from the X-Men movie who is strapped down to get the injection that will take away his wings. My wings of creativity and work independence must remain tied until we can afford for me to quit my job and pursue my boutique dream. I guess this is my main reason for feeling antsy.
3) I wish we had more money, especially this month. We're tight because H only got minimum work hours this month. I want to continue decorating the house and I want to be able to give better Christmas gifts than we can afford.
4) Last night I thought about going to a counselor again on a regular basis. And then I immediately thought of how much that costs. I forgot that I really get the same result if I just use this blog more. All I really need is to be able to vent and bitch and whine about my not-so-bad life. It's therapeutic for me. It's like purging out all my negative vibes so I can continue on my merry way.
5) Now for some positive things (see, I keep my promises). A) This weekend we are going to see Jim Gaffigan!!!!! I am so excited! I need to laugh so hard I need an oxygen mask. B) We are going to New Orleans in a week or 2 to visit family. I am looking forward to this mini vacation. C) We are all set to go on our cruise in January!
