What to do, what to do???

Now that we have doctor’s visits out of our schedules, life seems pretty calm. No appointments, not nearly as much worry, what do we do with ourselves? It feels like I have so much free time on my hands. Final diagnosis for Mya: None. We are in the wait and see if it happens again mode. Hopefully she never has another episode. I’m still left with the question of “If it happens again, then what?” I guess we’ll see.

Andrew and James will close on their house this week. I couldn’t be more excited for them! Andrew has plans drawn up of what he wants to do to the house as far as some small remodeling, and tons of decorating. I can’t wait to see the finished product! Of course, it will take place over time, and not happen over night. I know that disappoints Andrew. I think he gets his impatience from his Mum. LOL!

Bob and I are planning a Halloween party for the immediate family. Halloween is one of our favorite times of the year. The scarier we can get the house, the better! Of course, since we will have smaller kids at the party, we will keep the tricks as mild as possible. Don’t want to send anyone home with a permanent fear of the dark! LOL! I’ve got several games planned, as well as “hayride style” trick or treating through our neighborhood. I think the kids will have a great time!

There’s a lot of turmoil and chaos going on in the family right now. I have a feeling it’s going to make for a very awkward Christmas gathering. I hate it for Mom, and really wish everyone would come to their senses, but I don’t see it happening any time soon. Maybe, one day, people will grow up and realize the world doesn’t revolve around them alone. Sorry, I just had to get that out there, in case the right people are reading my blog. GROW UP AND GET OVER YOURSELF!

Work has been crazy busy this year. Based on our business you would never think we were in a recession. I hope it continues to boom through 2011 and beyond.

I’ve been thinking about a hobby, but can’t really decide what I would like to do that doesn’t require a huge investment. I used to love to scrapbook, but I just can’t seem to get in the right mind set to get started back on that road. I’ve tried the cooking thing, and that just wasn’t my cup of tea. I’ve been reading a lot lately, but I don’t really consider that a hobby, it’s more of my relaxation time. I’m looking for something to occupy my mind and hands. I’ve considered photography, and even have a make shift studio set up in the basement, but I can’t afford to get all the great pictures developed. LOL! I think it’s because I want a copy of all of them, and multiple copies to share. Although I love having a digital camera and the ability to sort out the crap, I don’t like the idea of not having a picture in my hand. I need to sort, look, rotate, and study my pictures to see which ones really capture what I see in the lens. I can’t do that with a digital without tons of development costs. There’s a wide variety of editing software out there, but like scrapbooking, I just can’t seem to get my mind focused on learning all the “tricks”. We have an editing program on our computer, but so far I’ve experienced some unwanted cropping when transferring my final masterpiece to a photo developing website, so I never use it. I can’t figure out why the software is cropping a huge portion of pictures during the transition. Maybe I need “Photo Editing for Dummies”! LOL!

TTFN!
