A Little Time to Recover

Today I have been recovering from the weekend. I finally have some computer time. Ahhh….

I did spend the morning straightening my house up and now I’ve blown nap time by downloading tons of digital scrapbooking stuff, reading emails and subscribing to some of my favorite blogs.

I’m kinda becoming a learker, or whatever the term is. I’m just not that comfortable making so many comments yet. (but I do wish people would leave comments here because then I know who is reading about my life… so I guess I need to comment because if I like it, you must like it too.)

I am not a person of very many words. I was a quiet kid. I was too busy sucking my thumb, I guess. I didn’t talk much. I remember in High School word got around that someone thought I was stuck up. Ummm… NO. I’m just a little bit shy. I can’t ever think about what to say to someone until the moment is over. Some people from my childhood have read my blog and been a bit surprised that I’m “funny.” (Well, maybe not funny but I do have some things going on in my head though.) Sometime you just need to get to know a person first before making conclusions.

Now that I’m grown, I’m more comfortable with myself (we probably all are) but I do hate meeting people. I’d rather get past that all that and move on to the friendship part.

Blah blah blah, So now that I have rambled on about nothing, I’m going to get on with my day. I have some errands to run and Emma’s ballet class.

I am planning on posting about my new arrangements of decor and the new and improved layout of Isaac walking but that will have to be another day. Shoot, the day is almost over. Better run.

    OK….I’m officially de-lurking here. I found you through Kerflop (I don’t remember how I found her) and I just love reading your blog. I’m pretty shy, too, so this is a big moment for me. And you’re not alone on not commenting; no one ever comments on my blog even though I know lots of people read it.

    Hi Mand, I’m usually a lurker too (well, you KNOW I’m reading your hilariousness, so I guess I’m not really lurking here) but love when people comment on my blog, so I guess I’ll comment more now. :) Golden rule, eh?!? It is nice having some validation, isn’t it.

    PS: I found this blog that has a listing of a bunch of digiscrapping freebies every day, I thought you might like it. :) I like the name of it:

    Hi. I read many blogs, do not have one myself, and rarely or never comment. Its almost a rule for me because I just never know what to say. Anyway, I found you through Kerflop, been reading her for a few years now. And since you asked I thought I would tell you how much I enjoy reading your blog. Thank you.

    I cleaned today too. I’m so tired. Cleaning feels like my life right now.

    I hardly ever comment anywhere because I feel like I need to think up something really clever to say, but I comment all the time here because you already know how clever I’m not. Hahaha.

  7. I didn’t know you extremely well in high school but I wouldn’t have labeled you as “shy” (or “stuck-up” for that matter). You surprised me today! You were a friend to everyone…I couldn’t imagine you not liking to meet people. You are a good people person.

    Hi, I’ve been lurking here too, found you from kerflop where I have been lurking there. Love your ramblings.

    It is hard to imagine a shy person having a blog, but I am glad you do. I have the gift of gab but it seldom seems like one…heehee.

    Foot in mouth disease can be a killer. Read my blog and help me find a cure!

    Wow, thanks for all the comments. I’m glad to know who some of my lurkers are (and how to spell it) and that you think I’m slightly entertaining. Perhaps I wont be so scared of this big internet world after all.
