Anyone Still Up?

peekaboo2011

I'm having a rough time sleeping lately, who's here to keep me company?

Elle1036

I am I am!  I'm trying to play on Pottermore but there's too much traffic and I can't sign in.  ((((

ravenray

I'm here lovely!  I'm sorry you are having trouble sleeping! 

Are you going to update us anytime soon?  And how was the date last weekend?

ravenray

Elle- OH no!     I am so jealous of you but it is so fitting at the same time   BTW did you ever make my shirt?

Grrr!  I can't find my stencils.  I have the shirt and the paint, but FI isn't sure where my stencils got packed and I can't find them.  I still have a few boxes sitting neglected in the spare bedroom, though.  Hopefully they're in there.  If not, I'll remake them.

No worries or hurries :) I just wanted to know!  :)  And if you never find them it is totally ok too :)
How are you love?  Did the thing with a possible job workout?

It is incredibly fitting that you can't get on Pottermore.  Oh Elle.  I should be working on your quilt, but it's frustrating me right now.

Raven, yes, I will make you an apron.  Just give me an idea of colors.  

And the update from last weekend is:

http://peekaboo2011.blogspot.com/2011/09/first-date-flop-and-epilogue.html

My issue isn't with sleeping so much that it is with scary dreams.  I've been making tags at work and have been chased in my dreams by style numbers for a like 4 days now.  Generally when I'm trying to have sex (in my dreams...ugh)

ravenray

Huzzah!  Blue!  And I like horses!  And I really don't like yellow or light green. 

And I am glad your second date went so well  
That is terrifying!    Poo, go away nast tags!

Aren't the tags chasing you in your dreams?


And I also have to go for a little bit.  FI wants to watch a show.

Elle1036

Aaaand I'm all caught up.  Delicious stuff for an engaged lady who's been with the same person for 5 years.  I'm so glad I can be vicarious now.

peekaboo2011

Oh, lol.  I'm an idiot.  Enjoy your show!

HA!  I'm actually a horrible dater.  I'm all awkward and insecure and I <em>always</em> laugh at the wrong times.  So it's probably a good thing that I'm getting married, but I really miss the single life sometimes (like when I read blog posts like that).

I just saw your questions.  Thanks for asking!  I'm doing well (but I would be a lot better if a bunch of people would sign off of Pottermore and let me the eff in!), still a little rattled from the blowout with my mom, though.

The job thing is still a possibility.  There's a lot of red tape to go through to make it happen, so it could be a while before I know anything.

Direction in the bedroom you mean?  Just use your sexy voice and whisper what you want.  That always works on FI.

I am sorry about your mom.  My mom and I don't get along either so if you ever want to talk I'm here for you :) 
Eh I am sorry it is taking so long!  Are you looking for anything else other then that right now or are you still on break?

I LOLed!  FI asked me what as up.  Hehe

Elle1036

Peek - Possibly, but I welcome TMI that makes me LOL like that.

Ray - Thanks.  I just really wish we could get along.  Every time we fight I feel more exhausted by it than the last time.  Not really looking for a job right now.  I'm trying really hard to be self-employed (since we don't really need an income from me right now, I figure it's the best chance I've got to give it a shot) and getting this deal with that school would be a great launch, but I've got other avenues I'm exploring, too.

Posted by peekaboo2011[/QUOTE]

I hope so.  There's a part of me that feels like we may have really broken things for good this time, but I'm probably just still reeling.  I haven't even told FI all of the details (which I usually do, for comfort I guess).  I just told him that we fought and that was all, because I don't want to relive it.

Anyway, enough bummer stuff.  I want to make a blog and don't know what I should write about.  Ideas?

peekaboo2011

*hugs*

As far as blogs go - write about what makes you happy.  Mine started as just crafting, but I didn't write all the time because I wasn't constantly crafting.  Now that I've broadened things, I love writing for you girls.  A blog is somewhere you should go to talk to people/yourself.  I try to remember important things, if I'm doing a project, include the steps so that if it takes FOREVER until I do it again, I know how to do it again.  And of course, I try to keep it spicy for you ladies.  Especially now.  

Elle1036

The spiciness is much enjoyed.

<div>My point?  There are a thousand blogs on any given subject.  You don't have to write about anything in particular.  Write about nothing at all.  Write about the way the sky looks when you get up in the morning.  Take pictures and write about the little things.  Because that's what matters. </div><div>

Elle1036

No, I haven't.  I'll have to check it out.

I was hoping I could come up with a theme or topic of some kind, but I'm too ADD.  I think you probably have the right idea.
