I hate to say it, but the past few weeks have not seen a lot of scrappin' going on in this house. I have been a wee bit preoccupied, and John certainly isn't going to pop up to the cave, uh, I mean garret, to whip out a few pages. Ain't gonna happen. So, the stuff was lying fallow. And I have to admit that while I've felt the pull, I've resisted the urge to dive in. First, scrapbooking is an escape for me. And there are times when you cannot escape.

But a healthier approach to takeA time for… Wallowing?
Is is just me, or is that a really weird-looking word? I seriously had to go double-check it on dictionary.com just to make sure I wasn’t making it up.So I’m done with the wallowing in self-pity thing. For the moment anyway. No guarantees on my mood, say, tomorrow. Or even later tonight for that matter. I’m a woman of many moods - or as I like to say, “spontaneous and unpredictable”. But it did help just to write down all the stuff rattling in my head and to get some sympathy and empathy More Puppy Love, a list of LOOT, and a Valentine's Swap
You didn't' think I could go more than one post without showing puppies did you? You guys are going to be so sick of my puppy photos by the time they go to their new homes. I'll have a reputation of being "that boring dog blog". But I know that there are some of you who are feeling the Puppy Love too, so here's an idea...... How about a Puppy Love swap for Valentine's Day?? Of course, "puppy love" also means young love, so your contributions don't have to be dog related at all. LEarrings, Cake, Doctors and Witches

Thanks for all the well-wishes for Baby Girl. She's had a fun birthday so far - taking an early bath with her Mermaid Barbie was quite a treat. I have her presents saved for tonight...some "green" dishes and a tea set. I spent the morning stressing about a bank error (at least I know that's what it was now). Apparently someone (at the bank) rejected one of my husband's salary checks on accident which of course caused some screw-ups with our account.

All she wore was a towel.I stood in front of my locker, nearly down to my skivvies. Yoga class was over and I was headed for the steam room and then the shower. The woman in the towel opened the unlocked locker a few feet down: empty. She opened the one next to it: empty. As she worked her way towards me, she got more and more agitated.Lost something? I asked.Yes. I was in the shower and now my clothes are gone!She moved to the next row, flinging locker doors open faster and faster.I diart journaling: another self portrait
