Not Writing But Creating

Sunday, dark skies dripping while thunder rents the quiet. Well, Nickelback is playing so I guess it's not too quiet. Emma's sleep underneath my desk lamp and the big gray decides he wants to sleep next to her. However, there's no room so he's got to go.

I haven't been writing this weekend. But I have been creating. My website is a mess and ugly and I hate it. So I've been spending most of my free time redesigning and recreating it. Hopefully it should be a little easier to use...at least it looks cleaner.

Working on it reminds me I haven't written an new marking articles in quite some time. Having to research my topics takes some time then trying to translate what I've learned into something other can understand is not always easy. Maybe I'll post my next marking piece here to see if anyone can understand it.

We raised $3,000.00 at the church yard sale yesterday. WOW! That's a huge chunk of money to go for our Music Director's salary. Thanks to everyone who attended and had fun.

My youngest son, Jim, and his friend were discussing their summer plans. One suggested seeing how long they could stay awake - the record to beat is 50 hours. (I cringed wondering if they ever considered how slow their mental and physical reactions would be if they drove a vehicle after that much sleep deprivation!).

The other suggested trying to last 5 days without a shower. Talk about lying on a huge greasy pizza! I think their entire body would turn into a gargantuan pustule - yes, it grosses me out. My face is already contorted and my nose is flaring in unwanted anticipation of the stench clinging to these boys.

But what do you expect from 18 year old teenagers??

Thanks for the encouraging message you left on my blog. Now git on out of that slump and cry some giant dragon tears! : ) I'd play you a song on my fairy harp, but... well... I don't know how.
