Blowin' through the jasmine in my mind...

My old comfortable blog! I've missed it. It's not the same writing in a notebook. When you write in a diary, its much different somehow. Anyway...

I doubt anyone ever checks it anymore. I haven't checked any in a while either. But I'm going to.

My life is kind of just floating along on its own right now. The kids are out of school for the summer, so I've been trying to fill our days with fun stuff like swimming and going to the library and anything free or cheap that is fun that I can think of. The fountain in downtown Tupelo (in front of City Hall) is really cool. Kids love that. I always fight the urge to join them in it. But its always pretty crowded these days.

Let's see, there's the summer reading program too. haha I feel like "you can take the girl out of the library but you can't take the library out of the girl". Which is a very dorky thing to say, but I'm never deny that I am a dork. Anyway, we're at the library alot when there's no gas money to go swimming anywhere and its just too freaking hot to go to the park or outside. Which is most of the time!!

I miss the blog days when we were all sort of connected and commenting to each other. It was fun.

I'm thinking of painting my bedroom and redecorating my house in teeny and obscure yet "bright and cheery" ways. Or something like that. I looked at some decorating on a budget websites (not that I have a budget for that!) and it said stuff like "paint your room a calming color, get a new bedspread that matches that, get high thread count (aka expensive) sheets, get new throw pillows for your furniture, put those cool little soaps in a dish in a bathroom, etc,". I'm thinking maybe I can start with painting my room or the soaps. haha the rest will have to come later. One thing at a time. I need a change though.

Hopefully I can blog more soon. Its very theraputic (did I spell that right? it looks strange).

Oh one more thing. Last night I attempted to play Twister with my kids. Remind me not to try that again until I've lost 50 pounds and have been exercising for many months. :(

Until later,
