Long Time No See

I have blown my New Year's resolutions right out the water.  I stopped eating around March and I guess that was when I stopped writing on my blog.  I do have a marginally good excuse for not doing anything that I am trying to work on.  I got called to set up and run the Young Women's Stake Camp.  While I love camp, and made all the changes I would when I went last year, so I probably deserved this hell, I did not like the people I worked with.  Mostly the people who gave me the final okay for things and would then take away what was my proper final decision.  Plus everything had to be a commitee decision done in a meeting. I DON'T DO MEETINGS, seriously with my job, just do what I tell you and let's make the next decision.  Anyways this three month experience in hell has left me a little exhausted and whiny (poor Daniel huh, near the end he kept saying,"I just want my wife back!"). It has been over a month since then and now I am finally going back to things that I enjoy like knitting and sewing and scrapbooking (which I'm so far behind I don't' even acknowledge it any more).  I have been doing fun things too, but haven't taken pictures because of the serious running behind in the scrapbook department. 

Fun things,  I went to Salt Lake for 12 hours to visit my family, Grandmother and cousins.  Loads of fun; I miss playing with my nephews and nieces. After 5 flights total to get there and back, I miss sitting next to Daniel and finding ways to entertain each in airports (we had a wild traveling summer a few years back and I guess I really liked sitting next to him in a plane--I think if he knew that he would throw up in his mouth because he hates the are we or are we not going to get on factor).

Ooh Roller Derby is really cool and I could so get hooked on that sport and culture.  Daniel's coworkers are on a team, so he gets to work contacts why I am totally into the game.

Found a Facebook group and feel really hip because I finally have a support group of people with diverse backgrounds and different thoughts.  Silly huh that such a dumb thing could make me so happy, and a little OCD with checking it.

Found a dress pattern for a vintage 1920s dress. Could be interesting and stretch my limited sewing skills in ways that I could never imagine, but hey I'll see how far I get into the dress before I chuck it and decided to do something else. PS the pattern is in words not cut out on dotted line...scary.

I haven't decided if I am going to keep up with my resolutions or just leave them where they are. I would like to keep my blog resolution, but I am really not interested in eating.  I guess two and halfish months will have to do work for me.

Oh I do have some pictures maybe when I get off my trip I will add them. Most are random though.
