I think it's weird.....
how you feel like you become friends with other bloggers. I guess because I never expected it. I've never been one to go on the internet and go to chat rooms or boards....just didn't care to talk to strangers.
But then I started my blog.....and I met other bloggers, moms, like me, mostly younger but still, strangers that I now actually consider my friends. And I guess I wasn't prepared because what happened was this.......their lives and what they post actually affect me.
One that I read daily has struggled to become pregnant, became pregnant and then mis-carried. I shed a tear when I read it.
One who was bidding on antique napkins on eBay....won the bid and man, it just made me smile.
One who had a baby......of course didn't blog for a week and then once back online, just made me happy to see her post again.
One who loves the Cowboys like me......and has a daughter with my last name!
Two who have quit smoking like me.......one going through menopause like me......so many who like to scrapbook.....even more who like to decorate. One I'm learning photo tips from and one who lives on a farm and teaches us all about it! And the ranch......can't forget Pioneer Woman!
One who is battling cancer and one who is struggling with a sick child. These are people I don't know but people who I hold in my prayers every night.
I truly believe that through blogging you do become friends. I really believe that if I was down in Alabama, Cheryl would meet me for lunch!!
So I guess I'm just saying it kind of took me by surprise....I'm glad I started my blog and if I read your's, just know, I think you're my friend, whether you know it or not! And I have not updated my blogroll in so long.......and if I did, it would take up a lot of space!
later......

I'm in the mood.....
to re-do!
It's been quite awhile since I've done any painting and/or re-decorating downstairs. We did the den in February 07.......painted, new furniture, new TV.
and nothing since then. But now I'm ready and would like to get the foyer and dining room done before I decorate for Christmas. Would like to include the living room but that's not going to happen.
I stripped the wallpaper from the foyer over the weekend. That stuff has been up for maybe 14 years! If you look down a few post, you'll see it.......black wallpaper from the chair rail down. It had little flowers on it......this is from my "floral" decade.
So now I'm going to paint it a pale yellow, flat paint....call Whipped Apricot. Then the trim at the ceiling, chair rail and baseboard I'm going to do in a high gloss white. I think it's going to look good. We went over to Lowes last night and bought the paint......tonight, we're ordering pizza and I may start painting.
