Catching Up

Hello Readers (if there are any out there)!

Since my last post, "The 3am blues," I've pretty much fallen off the blogger radar. I'm okay and my husband is okay, but how does one really come back from such a depressing post? Well, time heals all wounds and it's been doing pretty good work on mine. Mother's Day weekend was a bit difficult and probably somewhere around September 27th I'll be crying and boozing again (unless we're pregnant again of course, then it'll just be the crying). The baby had Turners Syndrome, which is why it didn't survive -- I was told about 90% of pregnancies where the fetus has Turners ends in miscarriage. It's the best we could hope for in a shitty situation. It wasn't due to our genes, it was just missing an X Chromosome. We like to joke around and say "The next one just has to remember all its chromosomes!"

Moving on to random thoughts and catching up, I'm learning to sew! It's not much of a story yet, but tonight was my first lesson. I can thread the machine and the bobber, take the bobber parts apart and put it together and create a barely decent line of stitches, but it's a happy start! I'll be sure to post my first piece.

In other news that has nothing to do with sewing, I might start a "Bucket List." I've never had any interest in making one before because I don't like the idea of subjecting myself to a list of things that may never happen and thereby creating a list of disappointments. I had never given it that much thought, but just knowing me, I like to take things as they come and don't like to ever say "This MUST happen!" However, today as I was listening to the radio and envisioning the perfect music video for "Feel So Good," by Calvin Harris and it occurred to me that this is obtainable! I am constantly creating the perfect scene while I listen to music and let my thoughts drift through winding roads, bright green mountains and a setting sun. I know exactly what I want.. pretty much, but I wont tell you because you might just steal my idea! It's officially a part of the list (a cringe ran through my arms while typing that). I do have an great friend with expertise and a camera! You might know her as my fellow blogger. I haven't yet mentioned this idea, but I feel a short project coming on this summer :-D

I'll end the randomness with one of my favorite quotes:
"It's not about ideas.
It's about making ideas happen!"

Remember that kiddies!
