So, here I am.....

The girl that said she'd never blog. The far from computer savvy girl that is always up for a challenge despite a serious lack of time.My blog goals. Do I have blogging goals? Hmmm, I guess I should. So I pledge to be funny, lighthearted, not vent or complain to much and maybe just maybe share a crumb of wit and wisdom on occassion.I will most likely chat about etsy, my addiction and muse. the incredible artsists and friends I have found in a community that oozes with creativity, friendship, support and a home for all things handmade.You will hear me ramble about the insanity of my life including my 3 boys, ages 12, 16 and 53. Yes, that last one I am married to, but trust me, he is just as much boy as man. After 17 years of marriage I find myself raising him along with them. Then again, he would probably say the same of me at times. I will often speak of friends I would go to the ends of the earth for and a family that more often than not defines dysfunction. Then again, I strongly believe a functional family is the stuff legends are made of.I am a lover of music of all kinds and not so much the TV ( except maybe Glee). I have an addiction to handmade glass, especially venetian and lampwork beads as well as unique pottery. I have made a concerted effort to tame my jewelry fetish with my own creations which can be seen at http://www.kjbeads.etsy.com/If you haven't figured out by now, I can jabber my jaws and my fingers as if someone could care what I have to say.

So much!

it was one of those wekends where i just don;t know if I'm coming or going. New friend visiting, busy craft show, news of another friends troubles, lack of family time and heading right in to another crazy week. Fun, excitement, sadness, laughter and a hectic schedule. Pretty much the M.O. of my life.

Then of course I find this. That big smile you need at just the right time. I love KarmaRox more than anything. Smart, funny, silly, sweet and she never fails to make me go *titter*

So on to baking pies and cookies, neither of which is my specialty and getting through the holiday week. Thanksgiving is definitely one of my faves. I think becasue it totally revolves around the food. No other expectations, committments, pressures to contend with, just good food, good family and good friends to remind you of why we celebrate in the first place. So I may not make the best Lemon Meringue pies, but I'll give it that old college try.
