Is anyone else going through the "things that make you go 'Hmmm...." bit?? This is unprecedented, really - this many large earthquakes in such a brief span of time.
I'm not an alarmist, but as a Christian, you bet I'm keeping my eyes and ears open to what's happening in our world. I believe we're seeing the "birth pangs" that Jesus speaks of in Mark 13. You can agree or disagree, but I'm not afraid to say it. This world is getting more and more secular. It can't go on forever.

So I bought....
a new computer yesterday! That's a first for me. All my previous computers were pass-alongs from my dad, except for the last one which was bought new, by him, for me. He's a computer whiz so I fully trust his judgment on these things.
But alas, the time had come where I needed to put my big girl panties on and step out into this unknown territory alone!...lol! Now, I'm not completely computer-illiterate. Far from it. Actually, years ago I worked for "PC Connection," which is a very large mail-order company. Back then I could tell you anything and everything about computers. But given that the industry changes almost faster than you can change your mind, it's hard to keep up once you get away from it.
My last computer I'd had just about 4 years. It's not a dinosaur, but it's far faster and more advanced than the oldie that my 13-yr old son had. And this son is an up-and-coming animator, I'll tell ya!! He's really into making little movies (stop-motion, no less.....where is all that patience when we're doing school?!!...lol!) and he's GOOD at it. But his poor computer couldn't keep up with the graphics demands and kept crashing or freezing. So, I gave him my computer.....*sigh*
I had thought I'd use my laptop, but after one day I knew that wasn't going to fly for a long-term solution. I wasn't looking to spend money on a computer right now, but since we use it so much for home schooling, I justified it as a "need" and plunked down the bucks. But I actually got a good deal, and only plunked down a couple hundred bucks as opposed to many hundreds! ;) It's not a top-of-the-line model, but it's made for home & student use and has everything I need and plenty of memory and a large hard drive.
I'll let you know how it works out!

Disney hiatus...it's harder than it seems!!
So I've put myself on a little break from all-things-Disney until after Easter. I just feel my focus should be on this holy season and with my upcoming trip the The World, I was totally and completely preoccupied! But let me tell you, it's hard!
I have also discovered that without all those Disney-related web sites, I don't have quite so much to do on the computer these days!....lol!
After Easter, I still have a month to go before my trip so there will be plenty of time to be excited and enjoy the anticipation, and I think at this point it will be all the sweeter, having been away from it for a few weeks.
But boy, am I ever ready for this little get-away....!

A little inspiration.....
I found these this morning while browsing Light for the Writer's Soul. Whatever you do, be it writing or something else, I think these can apply:
“Use what talents you possess: the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.” ~ Henry Van Dyke
“Go to the effort. Invest the time. Write the letter. Make the apology. Take the trip. Purchase the gift. Do it. The seized opportunity renders joy.” ~ Max Lucado
Good food for thought, don't you think?!

I'm BACK!!...did you miss me?!!
Well, all 1.2 of you who actually read my blog....LOL!!! Hoping to change that. ;)
I know I went out with a great send-off back on Jan. 1st, but after all that I'm still not writing on paper, so I figured that blogging is at least writing, albeit on the 'puter. But I miss it. I miss my friends here. And I just miss having a place to post the odd and unusual things that seem to happen in my little life!
I'm trying to decide if I should link back to Facebook with this blog (Kim, if you have the time, could you tell me how you do that and how you manage the posts and all that good stuff??...is it easy or complicated?).
So, for what it's worth, here I am! Blogging again...

Good bye, good health, and godspeed....
It's a weird way to ring in a new year, but I've decided that it's time to close down this blog. I realized with some horror last night that I haven't journaled (as in writing down on paper!) since last JUNE! The computer is taking too much time away from things like that. I've stopped writing at all, and I don't like that. I find a blog a fun way to write superficial stuff, have fun and such, but it's not "true" writing for me. This year is time to refocus and reset some priorities.
May you all have a wonderful and blessed 2010!

A Silent Night
I haven't posted much lately (I blame Facebook!!!....lol!) but wanted to come in and share a video for what has become my new favorite Christmas song. So, just in case anyone is still following this sad little blog (if you are then let me know and encourage me to git back to postin'!!).....
Sit back and enjoy this one, and once you've watched it once, play it again but this time close your eyes and just listen.....
Blessings my friends!

Didn't see THAT coming....
So the horse has been here for almost two weeks now. He's a real sweetheart and is settling in and putting on weight and all that good stuff. We spent weeks getting his shed and the turn-out pasture ready for his arrival. I was all ready to go and jump back into horse-ownership....
But I have made the unexpected discovery that I am just not as "into" it as I used to be. Didn't see that coming!! It's a very weird feeling and I've been trying to figure out what's "wrong." What I've concluded is - and this is a hard one to admit - that I don't have the nerve that I used to.
One day last week I was leading him, and some invisible boogey-man spooked him on the right, and he jumped straight and hard to the left, where of course I was standing. His leg hit my knee so hard that I dropped to the ground and couldn't get up for several minutes. Ten days later, my knee is still hurting me.... Yesterday I resolved that I was going to get on him. Thing is, I had to work up to it all day. When I finally did hop on him, we just stood there. For all of 3 minutes. I was absolutely terrified of him bolting or spooking or otherwise doing something to unseat me. Horses can feel your nervousness, so I certainly wasn't helping matters. D'oh!
He's a great horse, but I'm realizing that he's the horse I would have wanted 15 years ago. He's not the horse for me now. I guess I've just been away from it for too long. Weirder still is that I seem to have no resolve whatsoever to just beat it (the fear, not the horse!...lol!). I'm perfectly content to walk away and that's that. If I did get a different horse, what I'm looking for at this stage of my life is some older horse that's seen it all, one that you can lie back on and soak up the sun and he's just gonna fall asleep under you. My idea of a fun ride is just a stroll around camp, not hanging on for dear life going Mach 2! That was me once, but not now. I guess having 3 kids to raise and having a body that just plain takes longer to heal has changed my perspective some!

Today....
....is a bad day.....
Today, I am really disliking home schooling.
Today, I really wish I had another alternative!
But I don't. So I must press on. I feel like my kids are learning nothing. I feel like we just float through our days with no aim. Mostly that's my fault. I am no good at organizing a school day without turning it into a classroom-at-home. I can't seem to find that middle ground. If I try to put some organization to the day, the kids balk at having to do "work." If I try to back off and let them follow their own natural leading, it goes NO where! Well, no, that's not entirely true....but their leading more often than not has nothing to do with "learning" what so ever. Left to their own devices, it would be tv, video games and such.
I'm so frustrated. I feel like I can't win here. And I'm tired of fighting this battle.

Blog loser
I've come to the undeniable fact that I am, in the world of blog-dom, a loser.....*sigh* That's right, I"m one of "those" kids in high school. I just don't fit in anywhere. Once in a while a "cool" kid will talk to me, but I remain on the fray.
I'm as much to blame as anyone else. You know the old saying, "You've got to be a friend if you want to make a friend." I don't have lots of time to read other blogs and post comments, so really, how will anyone else even know I'm here?!!
But you know what else? I'm comfortable with my blog-loser-ness!...lol!! I like this blog. No one in my circle of family/friends follows it (or even knows about it, for that matter) so it's my safe place to come blog, vent, dream, etc., without worrying that something too personal is gonna get out there. I have another blog that I keep specifically for the purpose of having family & friends far away keep up with our daily life here at camp. But this blog, is alllll mine!
So I will keep coming here, blogging about whatever, when I can. I love to read some of the other blogs I follow...some are side-splitting funny on a fairly regular basis, others are inspirational in terms of home decor. Others are located in parts of the country that I wish I could visit, so it's a good way to be there, virtually. I think maybe when I get scrap booking again (soon!!), I'll start posting some pages here, and maybe - MAYBE! - I'll provide inspiration for someone else!
Or not.

And the winner is -----
THE HORSE!
For too many reasons to list here, hubby and I decided that this was the better choice. Maybe someday I'll get to Disney by myself, but in the meantime, we do have a reservation as a family for next Thanksgiving. I mean, you don't think I'd give that up entirely, do you?!...lol!!
The horse is just one of those "don't find this every day" deals. He'd be the proverbial one that got away if I let him go. So we are feverishly working to close in the empty shed, fix the hole in the fence, and get his space all ready for him. It'll probably be another 2-3 weeks before I bring him here, but you can bet I'll be taking pictures and posting them!
A proud momma's got to show off her new baby, after all!

The battle in my head rages on....!
So I posted recently about a horse for sale that I'd stumbled upon. For better or for worse, I went to see him yesterday. He's perfect for us in every sense of the word.
But, I have a long-weekend birthday trip to Disney booked for January. It's a solo trip, which I have always wanted. I can cancel without penalty. But I can't buy a horse and take a trip. The trip and the horse cost about the same up front. The horse is a long-term deal, but obviously will require ongoing upkeep in feed, vet, farrier, etc.. The trip is only 3 days, but financially, once it's over, it's over. The trip benefits only me; the horse would also benefit at least my youngest son (who's also horse-crazy...he got to ride the horse yesterday and was absolutely thrilled!).
I've been to Disney 5 times in the last 6 years. I haven't had a horse since before my oldest was born, and he turns 13 in a month. It seems like a no-brainer, I guess. I think I'm waging this war in my head because of the long-term aspect of having a horse. And because I have that solo trip to WDW in my grasp. If I keep the trip, I'll lose the chance at this particular horse. Not that there aren't others out there to choose from. But he's SO perfect....
Oh help.....

Eureka!...I've found it!
Some time ago I posted about my disappointment in lasagna noodles now being too short for my 9x13 pan. Once upon a time the noodles filled the pan, length-wise, from end to end. One day, they mysteriously came up short. Box after box, brand after brand. Hmph!....more sneaky food "downsizing."
Well last week while shopping at Super Walmart (the ultimate in one-stop shopping!), I picked up a box of their Great Value brand lasagna noodles. Last night, I made lasagna and LO AND BEHOLD!!....the noodles covered the 9x13 pan with NO gaps at the edges!! They were even wide enough that I had to overlap them a bit! I'm going to buy that brand again next time I need lasagna noodles, just to make sure I didn't get a freak box!..lol!

I am in love....
....with another man.
He's about 5' tall, jet black, and has long flowing hair. I found him on the Internet. After browsing quite a few other photos, I saw him and he fairly jumped off the page at me....Love at first sight, I'd say!
What does my husband have to say about all this? He said, and I quote: "Wow, you really want that guy, huh?"
Ok, ok, if you haven't caught on by now I'll fess up that my Romeo is a HORSE!!.....lol! And oh is he gorgeous. He's an 8-yr. old black Polish Arabian gelding. Maybe it's more common around here, but I know back in New England the Polish breeding was harder to find. Most breeders raised the Egyptian Arabians. I am SO not ready to have a horse out here yet, but this guy really got the spark ignited to get moving and fix up the barn, fences and sheds.
And by the time the next "Romeo" gallops across my computer screen, I'll be ready!

I'm baaack!
Did you miss me?!!....
So I just figured that I spent all this time and effort importing this uber-cool template for this blog, then I walked away from it. That just won't do. And besides, Kim misses me....
But while I'm busy keeping my other blog up-to-date for family and friends far away, I just need someplace to come and be silly, and post about scrap booking and Disney and funny stuff on Fridays, y'know?
And , if all else fails, I can at least open my blog and listen to some Walt Disney World music.....just keeping the magic close, y'all!

Last post for a while!
Well my dear friends, I have decided that this will be my last post here for a while. After Friday I will be without Internet for an undetermined amount of time (need to go to satellite service out in TX and I'm not sure how long it'll take to have someone come out and set us up).
I also know that my life is about to get busy, and things will be different. Once we arrive in Texas, of course there's all the unpacking to do and just getting settled. We'll be painting bedrooms, cleaning up the yard, and eventually painting the outside of the house. I'm home schooling the boys this coming year, so I need to get myself organized and ready for that. Once we do settle in a bit, I'll be tackling the extended outside area, specifically the garden, chicken coop, and barn. More or less in that order....!
I'm not going away forever, but I realize that my time will be limited for things like blogging, so I need to trim back and make some choices. I have made a few good friends here and look forward to reading your updates and seeing your pictures. But due to the nature of the turn our lives are taking, I'm going to go back to my homestead blog and do more posting over there. If any of you are interested in dropping in now and then, you can find me here.
Godspeed to all of you!

This-n-That Thursday
Another rather random day! Spent too much time on the computer this morning. Eventually I got out and got groceries, for which my family was eternally grateful..! lol! I did get some packing done. But not enough. Fortunately what's left is pretty easy, mostly books from the boy's shelves.
Tomorrow promises to be a BUSY day! In addition to finishing my packing goal, I'm meeting a friend for lunch, and have a sort-of lengthy list of cleaning type chores that need to be done in preparation for my in-law's arrival on Saturday morning!
"Shot from guns!", as MIL would say!
But it's a good thing....It's all in preparation for some very exciting new beginnings.

Wishful Wednesday!
I wish....
...that boxes could fill themselves.
...that my cats would find the pre-dawn hours as unsuitable a play-time as I do.
...that "dust bunnies" were simply dirty rabbits.
...that I could order food right in my kitchen just like the Jetsons.
...that there were more blogging hours in a day.
...that there were more FaceBook-ing hours in a day.
...that the Secret Chocolate Stash replenished itself magically.
...that I HAD a Secret Chocolate Stash!!
Hang in there!...the weekend's comin'!!

Tepid Tuesday
So today was...."ok." Not great, not awful. Tepid! I love that word. lol! I got more boxes packed, mostly in DS7's room. Also got some random household chores taken care of. I did not get out for my bike ride. I've been going to a local park about 5 days a week to ride the rec trail. It's a beautiful park and I love the ride. I will miss these parks when we go!
The culprit behind my less-than-stellar day?....
Waking up at 4:50am with a headache. And taking Excedrin for it. Which works like a miracle drug on my headaches but it also contains caffeine....
Thus began my day.

Marvelous Monday
Today was a productive day. I've set a mental goal for what I want done this week, and today I got a good chunk accomplished. Basically I'm taking one room at a time and packing away all the loose things that I will not need before we move. Today I got the dining room 100% done. Tomorrow I will tackle DS7's room. He seems to have the most "loose stuff."
My in-laws are arriving on Saturday, too, and will spend 4 days with us here in Florida to have some fun before we leave. We are planning a day at Busch Gardens, some mini-golf, a bunch of outings involving food (!!), and of course the beach. We haven't seen them in 4 months, so it'll be good to have this time. They hope to come to Texas in the fall for a longer visit.
And as if I didn't have enough on my plate right now, DS7 went and got a spider bite on his toe yesterday!! Life sure doesn't cut you any breaks, does it?! lol! He seems fine and I'm not too worried anymore. The top of his foot got a little red and a bit puffy, but overall he feels fine and is showing no other ill-effects. We looked at all manner of spider pictures on the Internet after it happened, but he couldn't identify one in particular. All he said is "It was red." Hmm.... I got nothin'!
Never a dull moment with boys! ;)
My in-laws are arriving on Saturday, too, and will spend 4 days with us here in Florida to have some fun before we leave.
