Since you asked....

I am doing great with no cokes.  Not that I never have one, but maybe once a month I have one.  I had one last week since I was working Marsh late - but it backfired.  I guess since I don't drink them often the caffeine really hits me.  I had it about 3 in the afternoon and when I got off work at 10 I was still wired.  I was up most of the night (and I mean MOST of the night) so that made for a really long day at work the next day.  I am enjoying drinking water with the occasional raspberry tea!!

AND...

I am finding peace behind the wheel.  I am doing well with not racing like the devil on the roads (even when I am running late to work!) and changing lanes to get ahead one spot.  Not that I never do, but it's just...well, different now.  It's a nice feeling to enjoy driving again.

YES...

Mom's birthday was hard.  This year felt harder than others.  But maybe that is just the way you heal.  Daddy and I went to lunch on Mom's birthday - that was nice.  Mother's day is Sunday so the pain is still there with that reminder.  Michael and Andrew have been wonderful supports.

AND...

I'm still making cards and enjoying it - but finding the creativity lacking.  Not that I'm a creative or crafty person, but every once in while it works well and when it does I really enjoy making them!   I hope it comes back soon!

BUT...

I'm not getting much stitching done.  I have someone who is selling my bookmarks for me (yea!) but I'm struggling with getting them done.  I think I'll have two done this week. Maybe because this was a busy week - maybe I'm just getting older and working two jobs takes more out of me than it used to.  Either way I need to focus on them!

WANTING....

to get out geocaching - I haven't been out since last fall.  I have a few of my caches that I need to repair so I think I'll just focus on keeping those up an running.

BUDGETING...

Still sucks, but that is ok.  I'm doing well avoiding my pitfalls (JoAnn's, Hobby Lobby and Michael's) unless I have a coupon and spending only my weekly budget.  And yes, my car is doing well on gas.  =)

THANKS!

For sticking in here with me.  I know I seem to be a wholly mess, but remember I am a work in progress.
