Hello my blog, I've missed you.

I am a blog-a-holic. Seriously. I use to check the blogs i loved multiple times a day and get so frustrated when they hadn't been updated. WHAT were these people doing all day???
Well, I had to take a blog break. No 12-step program required thankyouverymuch.


I started out with stamping blogs, and then moved into sewing blogs, and general crafts. Now my blog list is enormous. I don't hit them as often as i should to keep up. I am always finding new blog treasures out there; one blog always leads to another.


The point being, i miss my blogging and i miss my blog reading. Now that the kids are in school, perhaps i can make a little blog time for myself.


that being said, here is the newest blog i have found that i am loving:




I haven't tried any of the recipes yet, but i am about to! Maybe a week in the slow cooker will get me movin' again. I have gotten where fixing dinner is very low on my list of "have to" or "love to" do things in life. I am not sure why exactly, but i dread that time of day. I really use to enjoy planning menus and cooking, etc. but now it is just a chore I'd rather pass off to someone else. I think i will give Stephanie and her blog that task for the next week and see how that goes. I have a slow cooker and it is used far too little...it is for more than Velveeta cheese dip, right?

Sounds good. I have been trying to jump start my want-to-be talent for cooking. i actually made meatloaf in the middle of the day today. Eventually I just made up my own recipe. I'll keep an eye out for your trials with the slow cooker.

 So, I think i have talked about it here, maybe not. I can't remember anymore. I am too lazy to look back and see right now.  I started a while back, hmmmmm maybe a year ago? I felt like i needed to get off my crazy meds.  My dose was low, lower than the "recommended" dosage. I had been on them for years!!!! and i just felt like it was time.  I have a sweet, kind, amazing friend who is going through similar things and we talk about our depression, our kids and our faith. When I told her i wanted off my meds she said, "I know what you mean about having chemicals in your body, like in some ways it might make you feel better, but you don't feel like yourself and then some of the side effects really suck." That made me think. a lot. I had not seen life without the numbing grey of my antidepressants in over a decade. Who was I without the meds? What was life really like? could I handle it? would i literally fall apart?? Could i survive the withdrawal? sigh.

Photo a Day May 2 wow. the hits keep coming. It seems like everyday now I hear of one more friend who is having issues in their life. Some are medical, some are relational, some need a job, some are mental, some are financial. Everywhere I look it seems like people have HUGE mountains to climb.  It makes me want to go to bed and cover my head. It makes me want to go into the woods and pray. That reminds me that God's got this. No matter how bad, how crazy, how out of control this world seems; God is still God.  Author of Everything, and every mystery.... Reveal yourself to me! You calmed the raging Sea and carved the Canyons deep; Now come and live in me! We Stand in Awe!  Creator God! Lord of the Universe,  Sovereign of all the Earth! Worshiping at your feet. Power and Majesty. We stand in awe of who you are Creator God! We bow our hearts before you now Lord Most High! When I don't know why to pray, which is often, I jus

so i did it. Showed the web page to the hub and he said, "how can you NOT do this? It's writing, and photography and scrappin' all things you love! Sign up and merry Christmas!" so i did! I will be officially taking the Journal your Christmas online class starting Dec 1st. This is my very first online class ever! I have to say i am excited. I have already started getting emails since i signed up last night welcoming me and letting me know how things are going to happen. There is a forum if participants want to join in on the group atmosphere of that. I got a file on how to prepare for the class today, and we all know i am an over achiever so i will certainly want to be ready on Dec. 1 st for the BIG first day of class! I am so excited, my scrapbooking and memory preserving has fallen way behind lately and i do love Christmas, so i am hoping this will be just the kick start I need to get those creative juices flowing again! Wish me luck! always cyndi
