Well, He Finally Did It!!

My precious husband, after being a blog-follower for several years now, has finally bit the bullet and begun a blog. It frightens me to some degree, I must admit. Why? You may be wondering. Why would he at the old fart age of 52 take this leap and begin blogging? Well, that is due primarily to the influence the youngins we hang around with have over him. I would say he caved into "peer pressure", but honestly if they are 20-30 years younger than him, are they really his peers??? I think not! So peer pressure is not necessarily the correct term for it, but the fact is that he caved. So thanks a heck of a lot Bobby, Denira, Deena, and Allie!! Oh, and let's not forget the ever innocent influence of those whose blogs he reads whom he may or may not have ever even met...Perry Noble, Kem Meyer, Gary Lamb, Jeff Calloway...yeah thank you all a lot as well!! :)

Okay, so that addresses the question as to why he would go and do such a thing. And for those of you who may have been wondering why it frightens me to any degree at all...well, let's just suffice it to say that my husband, in his aged-wisdom, has quite a different spin on things than most...and now, thanks to technology, far many more are going to have access to his rather unusual pearls of wisdom.

No, honestly, that doesn't frighten me at all. He is quite talented at writing and being creative and expressive as he writes. And because he is typically so level-headed, and very rarely swayed one way or the other by sheer emotion, many have been known to seek out his opinion on various topics.

I guess then, that my fear may actually be that he will be better at it than am I, or that the fight for the computer will never end now that he's blogging! Oh, well!!!

One thing's for certain, should you wander by his blog, you will most likely find it unique and interesting, if not flat out right entertaining! So should you want to make that visit, you can click on the link for "Light the Darkness" and find yourself there! Enjoy.

And, babe, I'm proud of you! Resist that old fart aging thing as long as you can!! :)

Loving Life!

Just wanted to say that the past few days (week and a half, actually) have been totally wonderful! I've enjoyed being off from school and not even so much as darkening the door of the elementary school where I teach since Saturday, Dec. 20! For folks who know me, that's unfathomable!!! All that will change tomorrow, but not for the reason you may think. I'm hooked on scrap-booking and tomorrow, while the hubby (and anyone else he chooses to invite over for the big-screen access) lay around the living room and watch football, I'm headed over to the school to set up for a 3-day scrap-booking adventure!!! I have so many friends who are into this and it is such a wonderful girl-bonding activity! We get to be together, eat girl food, look at and oooh and aaah over each other's pics and then share our handiwork! I cannot wait!! Many of us got new toys that make our craft easier and so we'll also oooh and aaah over that while we share the addiction of scrapping!

I'm sure that come Monday I'll be stressed to the max that I did not go to school and do any planning or prepping for the return of students...but if so, I'll deal with that when it comes. Right now, I'm just loving God, loving my family, loving being with my friends, loving the break and Loving LIFE!!
