This and that

 I’m really trying to figure out how to get into the whole story about my deep diving into Christianity but, my God, it feels like it’s hard to know where to start and the different points I want to hit on….. I’m getting there… just hold on….

So, I couldn’t get myself to paint. Just had zero interest in it. I let my Etsy shop close , well it’s still technically open but it’s empty. I’ll be starting a new page for art. 

What am I doing instead? Plenty! Writing, which is good but I can get supper bored. Look! It’s shiny! Swimming, a lot! Like about three hours per day. My skin tone looks like my dna has changed. Makes my eyes so green though!! Green in the summer and brown in the winter. And!!!!!! I’ve just finished my 50th piece of jewelry and I LOVE IT!!!! It’s super way more expensive than painting but I love to get lost in shiny glass beads or shiny stones and crystals!!! Basically, SHINY! I have bone beads too. They’re from Africa and that’s all we know about that. It’s supposed to be bones from cows, sheep, ducks, camels…. 

My brother Inlaw got here he gave me all of his jewelry making stuff and as I was browsing through the jade I opened another box and found…… mountain lion claws… with the fur. I almost fell off my chair as I tried to get away from that as quickly as possible, but before that I was holding two asking “ Uh, are these claws? Like, is this hair? “ so I called my BIL and asked “ Hey! How goes it! Um, wtf did I just touch? Cause…. It looks like claws” he was on speaker phone and his wife asks “ like what” “ claws… animal claws…. Like … CLAWS!” To which they simultaneously asked  “What is a claw?!” 

😳😳🧐

So I cleverly reply “ WTF?! Like animal fingernails!!! CLAWS”  

The reply was “ Oh shit! Can you save those for me!?”

“ well, ya, like in the storage unit…. Not on my desk” then he asks if I’ve found the shark teeth or the snake vertebrae………. “ Dude…. Are you fucking with VOODOO?!!” 

To which he answers “ Well, I didn’t know it was voodoo stuff until after I’d bought them…So I figured…I’d just keep ‘em”

1) Ok…. But you bought these on purpose?

2) I very kindly asked that my husband put salt in their containers and get them far far away. The thing about Vooodoo is that whether it’s real or not, it doesn’t matter what YOU think. If the person using Voodoo thinks it’s real then that’s all that matters to me.  Go into a Voodoo store in New Orleans and you’ll feel what I’m talking about.

And that is just one insight into how “different” my BIL is. It’s just so fun……😳

Anyway, I’ve been teaching myself, I learn best hands on, and it’s been nice. I’ll put the link here when I get the page loaded. I’m not going to put all on at once so that I have replacement pieces. Plus, I’m going to buy advertising. 

What are claws? Seriously?

Hey.

 So, hopefully most of  everyone got my email. If not, I’m starting from scratch. Hi. It’s been a minute! Like, I’m a year older. There’s so much to catch up on that I don’t know where to start….  Let’s get this out of the way. No, I have not spoken with my children. OM got divorced. Instead of going back to her maiden name she made up a last name based on a…. Wait for it…. Disney move. Went to court and now that’s her last name. So, that was a little jarring. I got that news from Joshua while I was getting my nails done. Fun! I actually did speak to ym for a hot minute last month. My car was totaled by a hail storm. We still had it at her house in a different city so we did have to have contact. That went fine but no movement forward. So, ya. That’s that. Let’s see….. last year I was diagnosed with PMR polymyalgia rheumatica. It’s an autoimmune thing that basically paralyzes you. I had to wait … EIGHT months to see a specialist who wanted to put me on steroids for the re...

Here’s me

 On Monday my son and I got an uber, I think I mentioned that my car was totaled by hail…. Anyway, I splurged and got a really nice one, like hello, I’m a kardashian…. And I took him to the spa. He did not want to go. He had it in his head that it was going to be like People Soup…. But he LOVED it! We loved it! Had the best time. He’s good. My husband picked us up but, ugh, we did not want too. We have our favorite pools and he liked them best too. They play jazz music and you can just hear all the water falls. The funny thing is that I can see Plano out from my balcony, this is on the opposite side of what we can see, so, very close to home but also 30 minutes away because their is no straight connection. Both my husband and Josh like the pool where you can see the view of the city and at night, it’s stunning. Also helped my wrist! For the time we where there… My wrist is not good. I can’t hold a cup of coffee, I can’t type, I can’t paint. Argh!  Went swimming in Tuesday and ...

Deader than a Door Nail

 Ok, I have so many like really deep conversations that I’m just gonna get out of my system with you all. You good with that? Cool… I’m 57 years old and I realize that it’s way too late to be going through a midlife crisis but I am! I’m like,” I hope they come out with that third season pretty soon do I can see it before I die” I’ve decided that I probably have 10 good years left. TEN YEARS. It keeps me up at night! Yes it’s odd. I know this.  I go through this list of things I want to do and places I want to go and will I know my grandkids and WHERE THE FUCK did the time go? If I could go back to…. I don’t know, let’s say 1982 I’d fucking go! Then I think well, I for sure skip getting pregnant. I know exactly when it happened but if I did that then the things that followed wouldn’t have happened and I LOVE that I wasn’t a goody two shoes. Love that I took risks and did some crazy shit and lived abs guess what? I’ve never been afraid to tell my family about that stuff. Do I ha...
