miss me, miss me . . .

now ya gotta kiss me!

i think this has been my longest gap in blogging  . . . not counting when the 9TS and I were out paddling around in the big blue sea once or thrice.  just not in the mood although lots has been going on. 

the house is done.  the screen company is back logged . . . tis the season and everyone wants to play in their puddles.  the closet is repaired.  carpeting will come in next week. 

but the truth is that cleaning out the 9TS's closet, doing the repairs and having a nice clean new bright spiffy closet is rather sad.  that was the home of his stuff.  clothes.  karate uniform.  old photos.  7,952 pairs of shoes, his hats, shirts, pants, my favorite blue jacket, his ratty old . . .  he couldn't part with them . . .  slippers.  all things 9TS and now they have been donated, given away or chucked so the repairs from the leak could be fixed and the mildew removed.  i feel like a part of my life has been removed.  i loved that part.

on the other hand, kidlet has been doing some simply awesome stuff.  she's crocheting up a storm, stopped by a knit/crochet meeting by her lonesome, runs errands, and tonight started with the basics of cooking.  my heart is going pity-pat in a very good way.

to jump start things from the miasma that has moved in, i have signed up for a doodle class that starts in july.  i'm also reviewing an old class i signed up for that will help me get off auto with my camera.  it's about time i learned all the bells and whistles. i'm beginning to feel like i'm being shipped off to summer camp and am getting excited.

milli-thanks to sue for her monthly inspirations.  i wonder if she knows how much happiness she pops into the mail.

be back soon.  jeanne
