Dealing with a sick monster... Not fun, for either of us.
On one trip to the bathroom, when he was done throwing up, he looked at me and asked -How long is it going to last? I told him I didn't know, probably a day.
He asked - Are you sure I won't be throwing up forever? I told him I was pretty sure...
Then he said- Well Mama, what if it moves into my foot?

I have decided to stop waiting for a hammer...
I know that Heavenly Father helps those that help themselves and here I am whining about not being inspired and what should I do about it...
I am going to make myself work through it!
That's my plan.
I knew this before... This is why I have the Perfect Photo Search, it gives me something to look for when I can't come up with ideas for pictures.
I am going to apply the same thing to my art.
I am just going to work through it. I have a ton of projects in my studio just waiting to be worked on... everyday I am going to make myself do a little bit and see what happens.
Even if the creativity isn't flowing now, I bet that it will follow, I just need to force myself into that head space.
So that's my plan...
And, if forcing myself to do something happens to provide me with something to blog about, well, that's even better...
For me anyway, I don't know about you guys,
I suppose you will suffer through it because you like me, you really like me!
My Sister posted this on her FB last week and it has been running through my head ever since...
So what do you do when you have an ear bug??? SHARE IT OF COURSE!
My Favorites of 2009
I am feeling a little uninspired lately, sometimes looking through my old shots give me new ideas...
It didn't help much today, but that's okay, it's early in the year... right?
What do you do when you need a little artistic motivation?
Today as I was walking into the bakery getting ready to make the preffers, I thought how fun it would be to do a blog and show you all part of what I do... but I didn't have my camera.
I've stopped carrying a camera with me everywhere I go. I think I will start again.
Ben and I are working on a few fun projects that would be interesting to blog about I think, so I will dig out my old Kodak.
When I pass away I wouldn't mind if they played this song somewhere in the goings on... whatever they may be...
I kind of hope they have a party. I don't care much about a funeral, and I definitely don't want a viewing.
(Why would I want people staring at my beard?!)
I would like a party though, nothing crazy, maybe just a back yard BBQ with a DJ or a five piece band.
How about you? When you go, how do you want to be celebrated?
(Is it weird to think about this kind of thing?)
I was lucky enough to do some really cool things this year...
I didn't blog about all of them, but most...
I went to visit the Fairy Doors in Ann Arbor with my Little Sister and our entourage.
I blogged about it
For Christmas my Father and Mother inlaw gave me my very own entrance to the Fairy land!
(Thank you Ken and Cheryl!)
I plan on putting it up somewhere around the house... inside or outside, I haven't decided.
The kids don't know I got it, I'm not going to tell them.
I want to see how long it takes them to find it.
When the deed is done I will put up a picture so you all can see...
If you had an entrance to the land of fairies, where would you put it?
OH!
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
This is the second year I've worked at the bakery during Christmas.
I worked 47 hours over a four day period and slept for nine hours during that same four day period...
Something doesn't seem quite right about that, but I suppose it is what it is.
I will be enjoying my paycheck when it comes!
OH! I ROCKED the oven by the way!
I was baking four sheets deep on two sides of all three oven shelves, so 24 sheet pans at one time.
I was using the big peel to remove them... Yeah, I felt like a rock star. 
Only one little burn, and that was on my poking finger that I use to see if things are done, so it doesn't count.
This is the only picture I took over the whole holiday season!
Just the thought of picking up my camera seemed painful and exhausting.
So this it it... Our sad, little, fake tree.
We usually get a real tree, but I found this one at the after Christmas sale last year for seven dollars.
The thought of paying forty to fifty dollars for a fresh tree this year and then just throwing it in the snow bank after the holidays wasn't appealing to me, so we stuck with this little one.
I think next year we'll go back to a real one... We'll see.
I am enjoying not having to clean up needles, and even though we only got about one tenth of our ornaments on it, I am having to put away less of them now!
I guess there are blessings in everything.
I hope you all had a WONDERFUL HOLIDAY!
I think 2009 has been a VERY good year.
How was it for you????
.
Thanks you guys for all of the kind words and hugs and cheering up.
You remind me why I love Xanga... because of YOU!
Things at the bakery are getting crazy, Thanksgiving and Christmas are our two busiest seasons.
After next week it will slow way down and I will be scrambling trying to find things to do...
Lots of cleaning is in my future.
Until then it is so busy I am having trouble getting everything I need to get done done. It's a little frustrating.
I have some great As The Bakery Turns posts, but I can't post them because it would make me feel guilty.
I am excited because Ben and I get to go Christmas shopping tomorrow! Without the monsters!
Maybe I will get some blog material out of it.
So... I am doing well...
Working and trying not to think about anything ...
Not dealing with it, is something I'm really good at.
How are YOU doing?
