Good morning!
It's 7:23 am, and I've been up since before 7:00 am. Quite a shock! The darn cats started scratching at the door around 5:30 am, and then I couldn't get back to sleep. Since I didn't go to bed until after midnight, it makes for a rather groggy morning. Unfortunately, I'm on the edge of being depressed, trying not to fall into that abyss. Last night my DH and I held hands and prayed that we wouldn't have to leave Oregon and our new house. He has a second interview tomorrow with Amazon.com, which is headquartered in, of all places, Seattle. I'm stress eating like crazy, and last night I had two glasses of wine, something I almost never do. That was probably part of the not sleeping problem. As my DH says, there's no situation that can't be made worse by the application of alcohol. Guess I should listen! And apply it to ice cream and chocolate, too. Sorry I'm so bummed. I'll get a grip, I promise.
Charlotte, seeing the photos really brings the vandalism home to me. It's so devastating and violating! Did the police dust for fingerprints or anything? After seeing so much CSI, I know exactly what they should do, but unless someone was hurt, I imagine they don't put much effort into finding the culprit. Loved your story about how you started singing on camera. Glad you chose to sing rather than cry!
Your stories about being recognized in the store reminded me of the time I was on a Saturday morning show for the animal shelter. I read descriptions of pets available for adoption while someone brought the pet in front of the camera. There was a "host" from the shelter, and she was the main person, but every once in a while someone would stop me and say, oh, you're on Pets on Parade, aren't you? It was kind of fun.
So you sat up until 2:00 am and watched remodeling shows--what fun! Let me tell you, it's a lot more fun to watch someone else do it rather than doing it yourself. That's hilarious about the woman accidentally calling you guys. Those phone buttons can be such a nuisance. We once heard my daughter at a bar because her phone had called us, and she didn't realize it. Not quite the place where you want to hear your daughter and her friends! You are doing so well with the sugar. After today, I will join you. I'm going to start journaling, too, just like the Potatoes book says.
Shoot! I've got to go and I don't want to lose this so I'm going to close. Hi to SunnyD, Diane, and Bonnie2. Hope you have a great day, everyone!
