One more time...!


       Well I read this this morning on FB courtesy of George Takai who is about the coolest former Star Trek actor/ Boy Scout ever! I am not really struggling with insecurity these days. I actually am pretty self confident most of the time. I am blessed with a wonderful life and a wonderful family and things are good! But I sure used to struggle!!! I am not sure that even a great thought like this would have helped me back then. The old keeping up with the Jones' and am I good enough and why does anyone care and ... etc. I think TV does this especially...how can they keep their house so clean and cook those great meals and still do all the kid stuff and have a cool career? No-one can!!!!! My life is mine and it is terrific!!! and by the way so am I!

     In other thoughts, I am still discovering things I have lost when the bloody hard drive on this laptop failed this summer. A couple of days ago I thought I had lost all the 'Day One' journal entries I had made this year. Somehow the next day I found them! Whew! but this is teaching me to find ways to store my stuff not just on my laptop but out in the www or cloud! I have gotten all my Ella books back but very soon I will print them all so they are safe. I may go print some BPC stuff too, although that is supposed to be safe there forever.

      Excited and nervous about the camporee this weekend . Camping is cool, Mindy and the team is on top of things despite my apparent need to control things! I am still adjusting my brain around the fact that some people think I am over controlling! Trying to let it go. Anyway, looking forward to Matt's session on electricity, seeing the girls sewing, hoping they all love Dragon boating etc. Not so sure about the whole lashing thing and not sure I want to be stuck there either while Bettye gets to take pictures. :( but it will be good!

     I am down about 5 pounds since last month. Very slow going but am starting to get into the move more eat well mode...more on this another time soon. I am optimistically planning to be miss susie homemaker/scrapper after this weekend. things should really settle down, except for various birthday's, and oh yes a WEDDING!!! OMG! But really I'm the mother of the groom , not much for me to do. Better get Curt to find a restaurant for the dinner!! Think on the dress a bit more... think on my dress a bit more...plan for my families visit.

Ok, enough for today...here's another goal write more often!! Couple times a week is good. And write here so it will be safe...or as safe as I can get right now. Ciao!
