Where the heck did April go?!

WARNING: This blog contains proof that my hair is indeed blonde, and always will be, even it doesn't show on the outside. Now you may continue :)

As I said in the title: WHERE THE HECK DID APRIL GO?? It still seems like it should be 2011 or something. Shoot, it should still be 2010 acording to my internal calender. But, I better tell it to shut up, because it's 2012. And, almost May at that. I've been  doing a bunch of crafty stuff, and thought I'd write about it. Oh, I've been trying to figure out Picasa photo editing thing too. Not working too well :( It's confusing!

 Rainbow cake=awesome~! I must make this!

 Here's where the whole blonde thing comes in:

 Cute, right? well. Yeah. Um, I didn't get it at first. I was like, "Huh? I think you're Orange Fanta Branch? What does that mean...? O_O Fanta...OHHH!" Man, I'm stupid :D

 Here's one of the things I made...a Duck Tape Wallet! It's so cool! Annnd, it's so easy to make! I made Melissa (My Sis, in case you didn't know) one too :)

 I thought I was the only one (besides my mom) who thought that! I get so mad at that part!!

One thing I'm in the middle of making! It's for Dylan's (my nephew) birthday. I'm not very far into making it, so I need to hurry up--his birthday is May 13th!

Another blonde moment :"Huh? How..? Guhluhbull...g..u...h..l..u..h..b..u..l..l....Huh?!? That's not true! OHH! WAIT!" Another "Man, i'm stupid" moment. Hey, at least I'm not alone...Melissa did the same thing! (And, she not blonde!)

Okay, so I said I would write about crafts I've been doing..well, now that I think about it, I haven't done alot...does origami count..? hehe :) Well, I made flipflops out of duck tape & cardboard...but I messed up a step & it didn't work :(( & it doesn't really count, but I made fried rice :D I took pictures & will post them tomorrow..don't have them uploaded! I've been writing alot..& I made some little pillows...and that's about it. I've been pretty busy going thru stuff & packing.

T-T-T-that's all, folks!

Reflections

To me, Autumn equals nostalgia!I was born in the Autumn and  it is my favorite season of the year. I love the feeling at the end of the summer when you begin to notice a hint in the air that cool, crisp air is on the way! I  always loved the beautiful gold and crimson leaves on the trees, especially in the North Georgia mountains! It's a little different experience now that I'm blind but I still enjoy the crisp cool air,the crunching of leaves underfoot, and the woodsy smell of the burn pile. In the last few months, I have been reminiscing with a dear old friend and it has motivated me to become more of my real authentic self, instead of becoming this disease of Sarcoidosis! Sarcoidosis robs you of your health and trys to destroy you. I must not let it win! I want to live and be as fully alive as possible! Thank you David!

Today was a good day spending time with two of my Daughters, Alexis and Melissa, and my Grandson Dylan. We sorted through some books--some to keep, some to sell. we even got in a little Christmas shopping. I wasn't up for a whole lot, and was very sore when I got home.

Tomorrow is my husbands birthday as so I want to wish him an early happy birthday! Happy birthday Mike--My Sweetheart, Best Friend, Love, and Husband! He is my Rock and my soft place to fall (and fall apart)! Thank you honey :)
