Time on my hands

With time on my hands I thought this would be a good opportunity to do a general blog. Lately ..time is so rare I don't have time to blog the way I would like. Robert and I have so many things going on right now its hard to find time to blog and podcast the way I would like.

Recently I have taken up the hobby of podcasting. Its been difficult thing to learn to do ...I had to educate myself on the production side and the technical side. I had trouble coming up with a name ..but while we were on vacation I purchased a pink came hoodie ....and wha la! ...I named our podcast "Pink Camo". So if you get some time listen to my podcasts ...I would love feedback. For those of you that know me ....knows that I hate speaking in public. It is my hopes that podcasting helps with public speaking. Its different when I am podcasting though ...its just me, my laptop and dog sitting at me feet. My brother has also been podcasting ..and I think we are going to do a skypecast this Sunday if all goes well ...so I am looking forward to publishing that one. Typically I record and produce my podcast while Robert is bowling. I am going with him this coming Tuesday ..so its good that I am doing one on Sunday.

I have also taken up the hobby / craft of dry embossing ...card making sort of thing. Actually, all the Christmas cards I send out this year will be made by yours truly.

I have been working on my crochet too. I am making a king size blanked. I couldn't just make the normal size Afghan ...I had to super size it! I have been working on it since March. I am about 70% done ...and its my hopes to have it completed by Christmas. I have really been putting a lot of hours in to it ...knowing that Christmas is just around the corner.

I am still selling both Mary Kay and Avon ...I love both companies and the products. I love working and helping my customers get what they need. This "hobby" as my accountant calls it has been a good thing for me.

Brittany's sweet 16 / homecoming celebration is tomorrow. Robert and I rented a limo for her and her friends to go out to dinner ...then to the school homecoming dance. We will be spending most of the day tomorrow in Wheeling getting her ready. Robert is sacrificing his first day of bow season to be with her for this milestone in her life. If you want ...why don't you drop her a line and wish her happy birthday. You can email her at brittanydae@yahoo.com

Robert has been under the weather with some sort of stomach virus. He is getting ready to have an outpatient surgical procedure ...so say a little prayer if you like.

We haven't spent much time with Ron and Dreama lately. Dreama and I went to the Springs Festival last week. With the way things are going I might not see her again until we head to New York for a bus trip to Macy's. Robert is really worried about me going. He knows I am not observant and that I don't have an eye to know I am in a dangerous place. I'm sure my cell phone will be used that day. I love that he worries about me like that.

Next week in the second game of our poker tournament. We had to switch one of the games to a Sunday ..so that Robert could hunt on Saturday. Because of that we had two player drop out because we did that. It was really upsetting ....but oh well. We knew going into this that everyone wasn't going to make every game. Its just impossible to get everyone there every time ...so we decided to drop the last two scores for each player going into the championship game.

This Sunday ...it is my hopes to have a cuddle day with Robert. I think we really need it. Things have been crazy busy ..and we just need to slow down for a day.

Well ..thats it for now. Until next time ...have a good one.
