this is how my brain works.

I noticed something today.
and it took 30 seconds to figure it out!

YOU DO READ MY BLOG!!!!!!!
in that 1 minute and 30 seconds (so far) I have suddenly put a few more pieces of a puzzle in my brain together.

Now, I just instantly thought.."if they read it, they must like me!"
but the doubt in my brain chimes in almost instantly, dashes any hope and says...."they may or may not like you. but they still read it"

yes, this twisted and sometimes forgetful....what was I talking about? .......
....um.....uh.......and always....SQUIRREL.....A.D.D. brain of mine works.
I have voices.
I know I meantioned it before and because of medication.....the bad ones stay at bay
....but my voices of late have wondered if there was a point to blog and even if I blogged what would I blog about...?
so i decided to blog lurk...... and finally I...
I went to a cousins blog and I saw a picture of my grandparnets, which is also on this blog and it made me think about who really reads it and now I am back to my point......
YOU LIKE ME YOU REALLY, REALLY LIKE ME! (name that movie or is it awards show....first or second.)

this is how my brain works.

Now, I didnt add the mundane-ness of my life, like how my mind wondered about 10 times to 10 different things and how my head hurts and I need to feed my kids, but I can't tear myself away from this blog and train of thought to do anything about it..... I wont mention the actual squirrel or the voices ....yes, they laugh at me all the time.......
and again, i say this......if you ever wondered about why I am the way I am.....

this is how my brain works.

and my head hurts and I dont wanna spell check.
you would not believe the amount of words and things I was gonna say and didnt cause I forgot them.
I will remember them later and edit.....maybe....if i remember.
I hope I made you smile.
if anyone actually reads this....

Can you believe it!!!!?

Okay, so my sister had a request for her wedding this weekend.
She wants old sepia toned pictures of our family on their wedding day to sit in brass frames on the tables along with the center pieces.
so it became my job, (I don't sew, Aimee does... you do the math) to find these pictures and get them printed and framed.
I had to dig out my album and pull out my already scrapbooked "when scrapbooking was new to me 13 years ago" wedding album and find and scan my pictures.
I feel so .....
I don't know how to describe it but..... OLD!!!!!!
No, I am not that old, not even 40 yet. (37 thank you very much)
But I feel old. and if you feel old......
I dont feel the wise old, or the crusty old.... just not hip with the times old.
BLeh!!!!!!
I do have some great pictures of my family to share. I am gonna try and post them.
(My computer hasn't been friendly with me lately. probably because I am old..... and old.)
