I’m having a baby shower! Please visit:

If you didn’t read yesterday’s post, please do…this is sort of a continuance of it. I had been wanting to give Linda a call, but I wanted to get my diary written first. However, it was 10 p.m. when she called, so I decided to hastily wrap up and talk to her, as I’d really been wanting to talk to her. And she’s been in a real funk lately…no, it’s been a full blown depression. She hasn’t even wanted to call me to unload, when she KNOWS I’ll make her feel better, and truthfully, I barely even try. And I don’t really "sugarcoat" things either. But I DO point out where I think she’s making progress, and thats something she doesn’t even see. Anyway, really wanted/needed to talk, for many reasons. I told her about many of the insights I’ve been having…got some feedback from her about it. It’s useful for me to have a back and forth, since that’s what can get me thinking about things. I think that’s one reason I want to do this Yahoo group, but… BUT, I want the Yahoo group to be a particular "thing" and I’m not sure it’s capable of being that. However, we shall see. I’ve got a lot in my head, and not a lot of energy to get things done right now. So I’ve been putting off a Yahoo group. I’ve learned they’re a lot of work. They ARE, and they "die" really quickly if you’re not involved in them practically 24 hours a day. So we’ll see. It’s sort of like having children…there is NO "ideal" time to start a group.
After I talked to Linda for TWO HOURS, I decided to start packing a box I promised Dazed Dahlia (whose name I wonder if I’ll EVER get right. I’m not usually THAT bad at names… grrr. I went and looked it up so I’d have it right. Doggone pregnant brain anyway! ALTHOUGH, I have to say, since I’ve been doing the bookworm and reading so much, I’ve not been feeling the pregnant brain as much. I’m seeing it in only tiny ways thank goodness, easily corrected, by looking it up, lol. Some days are just lazier about that sort of thing than others.) Anyway, I got a TON of paper, and some brads (eyelets too), and some clips, and some stickers, and a few shaker boxes I’d made and have extras of, and I don’t know what else actually. I also came across some things I’m going to give Shabree for her Spring Fling class basket, because they’re doing a craft fan… LOL, kind of ironic, isn’t it? The problem with ME is that I have removed almost everything from it’s packaging to organize it so I have almost nothing that’s in it’s original packaging. But I found some brads, and I’m thinking about donating an eyelet setter (thing is, it cost ME 40 dollars… but that setter means I have FOUR eyelet setters, and it’s the only one I never, ever use. It’s packaged really nicely, too. The thing is… what if the craft fan already HAS an eyelet setter? Then that’s 40 dollars completely wasted. Ugh. I’m going to consult with her teacher about it before I donate it. I can donate, I figure, about a 100 dollar basket all on my own. But a lot of it would be removed from the packaging, so I have to figure out how to make it look nice…) Oh, I just looked, and I even have a scrapbook I can donate. How cool.
Okay, so anyway, let me see if I can organize my thoughts and get back to my near ramble from last night.
Sigh… not happening. I’ve got my scrap room too much on my brain. I’m going to leave this up for a bit, unpublished…well, no I’ll publish, and maybe provide an edit later when I have time. I’ve really just got to work on this while I’m thinking about it, while I have the energy.
