One Day at a Time

-
Wow . . .

You know that feeling you get when your mind can't stop thinking . . . the thoughts, the ideas, the dreams, the plans, the "to-do's" just keep adding up, and you wonder if the ride will ever stop?

I'm feeling that this month.

But it's a really really good feeling.

We are having a busy month in this home of mine. School is in full force and activities are taking up many of our hours after school. Dentist visits are schedule, business trips are scheduled, oh . . . and me? I'm following a dream.

Yep.

A BIG one.

Won't go into much detail right now . . . but I just wondered if you could throw some EXTRA POSITIVE energy out into the universe for me this month (specifically, mid-month, if you don't mind). Oooooo . . . it's so good, that I'm feeling giddy.

So, think positive with me, will you.

Right now.

Ommmm. Shanti shanti shanti. Ommmmm. Shanti shanti shanti. (Shanti means "peace", in case you weren't quite sure what I was doing.) Anyway, did you think positive with me? Yes?  I knew it. I felt it. Thanks.

Oooo, did I tell you? I am also going to meet a blog friend this month . . . my dearest friend Kiki. I know I have spoken about Kiki before . . . do you know that Kiki was the very first non-family, non-friend (and non-obligated soul) to leave me a comment on my blog? Yep . . . she sure was. I just looked it up, and August 25th was our anniversary! ;) Anyway . . . I am delighted that we will finally meet and gather for fun and laughs (and if I know me, probably a few tears) at The Creative Connection conference I am attending. So excited about that.

So, that's a brief update on the happy chaos taking place here, my friends.

I hope this finds you all doing well . . . and enjoying each and every day. By the way . . . how are you? Leave me a comment and let me know what is filling up your days. I'd love to know.

    I loved your comment my friend! I am not sure if turning 40 helped me to start letting go and believe me there are more things to let go of, but little by little I will get there. Life is short and there are so many wonderful things to fill it up with, so I can't be burdened by the "non caring people" of the past and that came with them. Like you, I want my days to be filled with great things. You have a busy schedule, but it is wonderful to see. I feel such a kindred friendship with you and when you stop by and comment I always have a smile on my face. I wish you well always and I am happy that you are really doing things that put a smile on your face! Have a great week my friend!

    Oh, did I need to read this right now! Your timing is perfect, and you gave me precisely what I needed to just take a breath ... sigh. Long hours at work, extra days of work before the High Holidays (Jewish New Year, Day of Atonement). Just moved, still unpacking. My boyfriend's father died, my son was in the hospital (stopped taking his meds). Behind on checking in with my buddies, on email, on everything. And then here you were, in my spare 5 minutes, to offer solace ... :) Thank you!!!

My Dream Home Smash Book

Have you ever heard of a Smash Book? If you are a scrapbooker or art journal person, you may have. If you are not one of those types, you may not have. I am a scrapbooker . . . but had no idea what a Smash Book was. That is, until my dear friend Peggy brought hers to our Scrapbook Cellar gathering last month. She introduced us all to her cool little composition journal, and the conversation went something like this: PK :  Here is my Smash book. Me : Your what? PK : My Smash Book. Me : Like, smash, what? PK : Smash . . . things. You know. Like, stuff. Me : What? PK : See . . . I will put stuff in here. Junk. Things I don't want to lose, but don't know what to do with. Me : Huh? PK : Smash. Me : I don't get it. PK : Google it. CE (our friend, Cindi, who just entered the conversation and saw was PK was holding): Oh, a Smash Book! Cool! Me : Huh? CE : Google it. LT (my sister, Laura, who is right there with me): I don't get it. So, I googled it. ...

Any Day Now . . .

Any day now . . . Any day now . . . we will see you in all your glory, and the memory of past Springs will become our reality once again.  Any day now . . . I will walk passed you and be reminded of that scene in "Willie Wonka" . . . Gene Wilder as "Willie Wonka" image obtained from Google Image Search. Original site unknown. . . . when Gene Wilder drinks something (that I like to imagine is the sweetest, butteriest, most amazing thing) from a buttercup, and I'll wish just once I could do the same with you. Any day now . . . I will turn the corner of our block and find you waiting for me with your petals wide open, as if wanting to give me a Spring hug, and your scent will make me feel as if the heavens have opened up and sprinkled sweet smells over us all. Any day now . . . can't come soon enough.

Howdy Friends!!! Hope this post finds you all doing well! As part of my blog series "100 Things to Do with Grapes"  (STOP - wait a minute .... are you kidding me??? I don't have a blog series about grapes!!! Oh - but just imagine if I did!!!), I just had to share with you one of my very all time favorite summer treats . . .  Ok, are you even slightly interested? Hang in there with me, ok? Because this easy, summer "yum" is bound to be a favorite of YOURS!!!! That is . . . unless you have a peanut allergy. If you have a peanut allergy, I would STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST making this treat. (Come back Monday for another more appropriate post for you.) If you DON'T have peanut allergy . . . run to the store RIGHT NOW and pick up these three things . . . Seriously . . . it only takes these three things; green grapes, lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, and a bag of white chips. Seriously . . . that is all! So, how do you make these awesome snackies?...
