I'll get back to you on that!

Should old aquaintance be forgot?

Apparently not. This week, out of the blue, I heard from a long lost friend I'd given up as gone forever. We hadn't heard a peep in over 7 years, so this call was quite the surprise. I'd always sent a Christmas card with an update, but after a while you do give up when you hear nothing back. She has her hands full with work and caring for a severely impaired son, so I can see where she'd be slow to respond...but seven years? All's well, though. We chatted for over an hour (Me! I was on the phone for over an hour. I haven't done that since John was deployed) and caught up. The sad part was my life didn't take much updating. Maybe that is why I am Mundane Ramblings. In any case, I was thrilled to hear from Cece. She's a one of a kind lady, completely original and funny as hell.

And in a weird coincidence, I had another friend email me from out of the blue. I hadn't heard from her in nearly a year. Then today, Katy had a call from a friend of hers who had moved away over a year ago. It's very odd, but maybe good things come in threes, too. One can hope. And here's hoping we keep in closer contact with good friends from days gone by.

What a day. I prefer to be busy at work, but today was just unreal. We were going like the Energizer Bunny until quitting time. Why, oh why, can't they spread it out a little more? Why must Wednesdays hit so hard? Just another mystery of life.

No scrapping to be done tonight. I have a meeting to attend about some 8th grade graduation party. I've never even heard of having a school sponsored 8th grade graduation party until this year. It seems a little strange to me. I never was one for ceremonies (why do you think I eloped?) so to have a party on top of a ceremony will nearly kill me, I'm sure. Oh, what we put up with for our offspring.

I'm too tired to blog. :)

I Get By With a Little Help From My Friends...

...you know you're going to hum that song the rest of the evening. THANK YOU SO MUCH to Julie for enlightening me on how to add that row of links down the side of my blog. I would also like to thank her for narrowing down by one who isn't my Secret Sweetie. Muahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!

A little help here?

I'm not sure I'm cut out for this blogging thing. I forget it's here most of the time and I prefer reading them to writing in them. I don't have time to sit down and figure out things like adding fun links down the side of my page, either. I'd love to list the blogs I frequent, but alas, I am blog code challenged. Hard to believe I taught myself basic HTML and did my webpage years ago. All that knowledge does me no good with this weird blogging system. You have to know *their* codes or you are up the creek sans a paddle.

However, today I feel like a celebrity. Felicia mentioned me in her blog "It's a Jungle in Here" so now I'm returning the favor. Of course, if someone out there would give me the lowdown on how to EASILY add those links down the side of my page (hint hint) I would love to link up to ScrapAddict permanently. Ahem. Oh, and if my Scrap Addict Secret Sweetie (you know who you are) wants to really wow me with something I would use every day, she could get a custom made sign for the top of my blog. I don't even know what they are called, a banner? Something with Basic Grey papers in the background. Something with grunge lettering. Of course, this mystery person would also have to instruct me on how to insert it at the top of my blog since I don't have time to get in there and figure it out for myself. Ah, a scrapping girl can dream, can't she?

Last night I spent about three hours making sketches. I'd fallen behind and had to make up for lost time. I even did one just winging it and I'm pretty impressed with myself. It's not that I mind making sketches, I just forget to. Like everything else. I have started carrying around a notepad to write myself notes. I think middle aged forgetfulness has hit full force. That and gravity. I will not look down. I will not look down. It aint a pretty sight.
