Weekend Wordle

Don't you just love how I will sporadically post one or two posts in about 8 or 9 months and then suddenly....BAMMO! 3 posts in 10 minutes from me?!?! Yeah, this is how I roll. Animal print pants outta control!! Haha, just kidding about that last part. Oooor am I? ;) Here is the weekend wordle, which sums up my latest blog posts into a cloud of coolness. You can make one here.

Pain

I have recently been going through and hope to have come out of, what I suppose can only (when being honest with myself) be categorized as depression. That is really hard to admit. To myself and to you. I've been in a funk...a slump...a dark place....word it how you will. I wrote this a couple of months ago.

Grow Up!

 I've been doing a whole lot of thinking lately. A whole lot.  My dad instilled in me at a pretty young age that I have the ability to do anything in the world, the only thing I needed to do was put my mind to it. If I had the will, there was a way. Well, 31 years old, 32 quickly approaching and here I sit. Bored. Truth is, I don't know what I want to be when I grow up. This is definitely going to be a challenge for me. Problem is...what do I wanna do with my life? Only thing I know is, I want to help. I am tossing around the idea of going back to school. In the medical field. Obstetric Ultrasound, I think. And so, I'm looking into that. I've also always wanted to help directly, hands on. Again, just a lot of thoughts floating around in my head, but I want to volunteer and work with disaster relief for the American Red Cross. I would love to be able to go around the country and even internationally and help those in need. I just haven't looked into it as I didn't want to be away from my family for long periods of time to do it. But I think it is time I start doing things for me. And doing things that make me happy. And I think this is the beginning route(s) for me.

Weekend Wordle

I used to do a weekend wordle all the time, I've fallen quite behind with them. It's just a place that adds all of your words to form a beautiful word cloud. Here's mine.

Memory Jar

I wanted to make something unique and personal for my mom for Mother's Day this year. The last couple of years I've lived 8 hours away so I mailed cards. This year, I'm literally a stones throw away and wanted to do something special for her. We've lost a lot of family this year and I wanted to show her that our time and memories together mean so much to me. I found an idea online to make a memory jar. So simple and so inexpensive. All you have to do is write or use your computer to print some of your favorite memories shared with your mother. I wrote mine out by hand because I wanted a more personal touch. Cut them into strips and place them in a jar. I made tags and tied them onto the jar with twine.
