Fill in the Blank Friday

I have been a terrible blogger this week, I just been too worn out to have anything to say.  Even tonight, it is 9:13 and I am ready to call it a night.  I am pooped out - I guess the car accident has sucked my energy for the moment, because I am tired and sore all the time.  By this time of the evening my neck is freakin' killing me - I am pretty sure it is CUM-UPINS for not having any sympathy for CH and his many woes. I am really happy though, I have a had a huge financial burden lifted late last week and it has been such a relief.

On another dismal note, it is 5 minutes into the 3rd period of the Canucks v. LA game, and they are losing by one.  CH and PITA's Dad are tense.  CH will swear and curse if they lose and I really hate that.  It is, after all just a game and that anger makes me feel tense.  It is similar to the way I feel when I wake up to him swearing - anxiety has become such a skeleton in my closet.  If I told him about this, he would be rude and say "whatever" instead of trying to understand.  I wish he would try to understand me and take care of my feelings a little.  Yickes, getting off the topic of Filling in the Blanks for Friday...

the little things we do

1. Today is a good day because when I was kissing everyone goodbye when they were leaving the shop this afternoon, Josh leaned in and gave me his cheek for his kiss. He has always been the most snugly of the three boys and it is so, so nice to have him back.

2. The best thing I did all week was take the day off and go on a mini road trip to Nelson with PITA and her lads.  It was a day well spent.  :o)

His incredible cuteness puts a huge lump in my throat.  I absolutely adore this child.

3. The current weather is beautiful and sunshiny and it makes me feel like turning over a new leaf - spring cleaning, weight loss, yard work, etc.  You know, all of those things that I never seem to find time for no matter what season it is.

4. The best thing about spring is that is starts to be beautiful again.  It is beautiful here in every season except for that period between snow melting and leaves sprouting which lasts 6 to 8 weeks but seems forever because it is SO dreary.  The tree outside my office window is sprouting buds.

5. A fashion trend that I'm dying to try out for spring is tangerine. It will fit in nicely with all of my other brightly coloured clothes!

6. A person who made me smile this week was my children - all three of the ones that I are home.  It has been a nice week to be their mother.

7. The most delicious thing I ate all week was the Ms. Vickie's Sea Salt & Vinegar I had yesturday.  Pretty sad really, but yummers.

I am pooped. I am going to put the shorties to bed and go to bed myself.

Night. :o) Tina

The weird things you see on the internet never cease to amaze me.

Sunday Sunday

I don't really have anything to say but I wanted to wish everyone a happy Easter!

Have a wonderful day, enjoy your family and friends and, like me, the day off!

I am going to sew.

Your Comments Please.

I started this blog as a tool to drive traffic to my online shop which is very ironic as I have temporarily closed the online shop and everything I do now is to drive traffic here - not for a monetary gain, just because it makes me feel good to have people reading what I wrote.  What would make me feel even better is comments!

I am up to an average of about 80 visitors a day - modest, but it makes me happy.  I rarely get comments.  Why?  Are my posts so boring that no one even reads to the end to click on the little "comments" button?  Are they so comprehensive and packaged full of information that no one has a question?  Are they so entertaining that you are laughing too hard to type?  All of those 80 readers cannot possibly be opinion-less!  What is it?  Please tell me, what do I need to do to get a comment or three around here???

Photo a Day, Day 1 and 2

I hate to wait.  Hate it.  Well maybe hate is too strong a word (it is not one I like to use) but I do strongly dislike it. It is why I don't clean my oven - and I know that sounds like a really crappy excuse but it is the truth.  I can never wait for the Easy Off to do its job before I am in there scraping and scrubbing and breathing in all those toxic fumes and cursing myself for not waiting until the cleaner did its job.  Every time, I am not even joking.

I am currently sitting at my desk waiting for a phone call that I do not particularly want to have feeling as if I would like to take what is left of my bottle of Ativan and maybe a T3 or two to ease the pain created by my morning massage and my frayed nerves.   It is a phone call where I have to ask someone, who I love, who loves me by default (we are related) for help.  I strongly dislike asking for help as well.  (I sure have a lot of issues I am making a counseling appointment as I type!)

I still have not finished my 31 Days posts, but I promise you I am working on them and they are getting closer.  I made a list - that is always a good step in the right direction for me.  Today is the second day of photo a day, I suppose I need to catch up on that too!  I was down for the count yesterday with a nasty headache, the likes of which I have not felt since I discontued my wine habit back in 1999 or there abouts.

April 1st Photo - My Reflection

Looks like me.  Acts like me. He is a reflection of me (and I don't care if that is cheating!).

April 2nd Photo - Colour

I took this ages ago at a quilt show and have been waiting for the right time to use it.  I have another colour photo that I could have used but could not find it - I think it is lost in my old Instagram account - if I find it, I will post it later.

Anyway, I could go on and on just for the sake of rambling today, I have lots of nervous energy built up. You know, the kind that makes your feel like your whole body is stuffed with little fluttery birds and you have a hot brick on your neck.  Still waiting... once it is done, I will feel so much better.

I think I will go search for something funny for a wordless Wednesday post.
