It's been a while...

This is my token "OMG, I can't believe it's been a month since my last post" post LOL. I've been busy with school and the holidays, plus I haven't been stitching so I didn't have much to write about since this is suppose to be a stitching blog. I finished with school over a week ago and since the holidays are done I have a few minutes to spare to blog.

First let me start off by sending some *happy* holiday wishes! Christmas is over and I hope everyone had a great one and I think this is the last day of Hanukkah so hopefully it's a great one for those that are of that faith...I made up my own little holiday committee at work so I got to put up a Christmas tree on our floor (that got knocked over by a gazillion stretchers) and got to light the menorah on the first 2 nights. So *exciting* I just hope I did it right the one night I needed a Jewish patient to ask there was not one around. This year was a good one, I was done with all of my shopping by the 6th and everything was wrapped and under the tree by the 22nd. I asked for two things and ended up getting them both :) Kelly got me my Dodo charm necklace and my cousin got me rechargable battery station for my Wii Controllers - I also got a suprise gift from my cousin's gf which I loved! She got me The Office DVD game...now I just need to find some Office fanatics to play with me.

I've lost my stitching mojo and it doesn't seem like it's coming back any time soon :( It's so bad that I don't even want to buy stash *sigh* But I did see those Halloweeny L*Ks and I must purchase them as soon as I have the feeling to spend some money...which may be no time soon because after being a 1 car family I'm being forced sort of to buy my own car :( I should be happy but I'm not. I'm weird...big "adult" purchases make me sad - I'd like to stay young forever and it doesn't seem like God agrees with that plan. Next thing you'll know I'll be "forced" to move out *shudder* hehe. I'm actually not being forced but I feel bad that my mother has to take the bus home from work because I need the car to go to school. It takes her sometimes over an hour to get home and usually it's 15 minutes by car. So I now must take my measly savings and buy a car.

School wise; I'm happy it's over! I ended getting an A+, B+, and a B. I go back on Jan 5th for winter session to take Chemistry. I hope I do ok in it. My brain is tired from the Fall and my body is tired from work. It's hard working and going to school full time. The outrageous thing about it all is that I'm considering looking for a part time job...I'm laughing out loud even as I type it. I hear school nursing is easy and since I did the orientation for it last year I feel like I can do it twice a week until I start the Spring semester. I could always quit if it proves to be too much right? Plus it all depends where they send me...some children can be evil and I don't want to go too far from home. There are 3 schools within walking distance of my house but what are the chances that they send me there. I'll call them Monday to see.

Well that's all from me...sorry there are no pictures to show :( Until next time!

Glad to have you back Mercy. I lost my stitching mojo a few months ago, but now with ankle surgery coming in the near future and being off of my feet - I find that I finally got my groove back! You will too, I know it.

Good to see you posting, Mercy. I haven't been posting much either and stitching even less, lol. I enjoyed your post, there's more to a stitcher than stitching, right? Best wishes for the new year and in school. :-) Lisa

Stitchy pics or not, it's great to hear from you. I also think it's great that you're enjoying being young - I was in *such* a hurry to grow up and be seen by everyone as an adult .... and once you're on this side of fence (so to speak) there is no going back.

Good luck with your ambitious upcoming work and school plans, and congratulations on your excellent grades!

Good luck on your car purchase--yep, growing up can suck, lol. But believe me, I bet your mom didn't mind taking the bus. I know I wouldn't have. I hope your mojo comes back soon. I hate losing my mojo!
