Love love love love love this post about Pinterest!!

Even though I get on there and click away... actually, not anymore. Most times these days I'm taking stuff off. I wiped out several boards around Christmastime and lost bunches of followers... which is awesome, I HATE it that people can follow me... and couldn't have been happier when they came up with 'secret boards'. I'm MORE than happy to share what I find with people, I'm prolly TOO open about almost (note: almost!) every area of my life... but there are times you just want to keep some things to yourself... like a deeply personal problem or health issue. Anyway, the author expresses exactly how I feel about it... I love Pinterest... and yet, I loathe it, too. I've very much tried to keep my own personal style... and there have been times where I've thought "I'm sure people that see what I pin must wonder what on earth I'm thinking".... Guess what? I don't care. And I haven't. I may have thousands of pins, but I have stuck with my guns on what *I* love.

I can TOTALLY relate...

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania. Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Turning the full-of-stuff-bins in my garage into an etsy store

It's time. I've been chattting this up for years.... YEARS. Been cleaning out my garage. Getting rid of soo soo much. Have sold a ton of stuff and donated lots. But there's still so much fabric, paint, wood, floral supplies, paper, jewelry making stuff... you name it, it's out there. I even have friends that will call up sometimes and ask if they can "come shop in my garage". I dare not even put a round-about dollar tag on it all. The only way I can begin to justify it is by creating. Finally putting it all to some kind of use. Sooo, there it is. And here I go. If I think something might be fun for someone else to try I'll blog about it with instructions and photos and such. It feels weird saying that because like most people, there's WAY more I can be taught than I could ever teach others. Anyway. See ya out there!

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now. People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying. Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many. Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel. Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People. Oh, the people. In so many ways huma...
