blogger funk

yes, thats what ive been in. agh. i just havent been feeling it lately. but im back. so have no fear. but wow, i logged on, and blogger has a whole new look. craziness.

so, all these years i think i have missed my true calling. i thought i was supposed to be a nurse. im compassionate, personable and loving, right? but this weekend, i experienced something new. a renewed sense of being. something that doesnt exhaust me physically or emotionally. it doesnt require great skill, well, some, but not a huge amount of concentration anyway. it allows me to be with those i love, and has the potential to pay great money. folks, i am talking GOLF.yes. i played my first round of golf ever. im thinking of going pro. i am a master of this game. i golfed a 96 on 9 holes. okay, soooo maybe i should rethink that part about going pro. but, at any rate, kelly and i had a great time. i really didnt do that bad. we decided i had 2 things going for me 1)i hit it every time (as opposed to whiffing it) and 2)i never once went off the fairway (meaning i hit it STRAIGT. so i have a new 'hobby' and kelly was muy excited that i finally got out there with him...

so, i decided to have my first ever rummage sale this past weekend. i was sooo excited! i had some nice little items to sell. some nice leap from baby toys, some of the girl's clothes, home accessories, and some home furniture, etc. now, i am not a rummage sale person-so i dont know the ins and outs of rummage sale-ing, but i was all gung-ho. i put an ad in the paper and made signs. so saturday rolls around. my first customer was an elderly lady of about 65. no go. im thinking-no problem, just not the right client. the next few customers, nothing. wtf. so, im near panic, and its only 30 minutes into the rummage sale. i already start slashing prices. i call my mom. no answer. my dad calls. kelly calls. 'i told you so' (kelly, of course told me to 'not waste my time') not to be deterred, i held my chin up and waited patiently. i had lots of good stuff to sell! humpf. well folks. i sat. and sat. and sat. i sold about $43 worth of stuff. and $36 of it was to my mother. can we say biggest.flop.ever? and goodwill. here.i.come.=tax.deductible. so, yes, it was a wasted of times, and effort. but...oh well. lesson learned. no more rummage sales for me.

jae starts school next week. i cant decide who's more excited, me or her. (just kidding, well kind of....hehe.)

well, blogging hiatus is over. dont want to bog you down with a uuber long blog....
