ARRGGHH!!!!! I tried to put in a picture and deleted everything I had typed so far. Sooo, here we go again.

I've decided to appoint one day a week as my blog day. For now I am going with Friday, since that is generally a day when I have a little more free time, I am hoping it will work out.

Overall this has not been a bad week. I had a couple of days where I was really just dragging- but I got through them non the worse for the wear. << A special Thank-You to all of the ladies in the spa who helped me out with that, for their encouragement, advice, and support. >>

I read a lot on here, did some serious thinking, and started coming up with a game plan. I am currently trying to decide if I should take a soft line or a hard line with my family on my veiwpoints towards preps and self reliance. I will probably give the soft line one more chance. If they don't want to be involved that is fine but I am no longer going to allow that to stop me. However, I am done with putting up with ridicule and critisism over it. Thanks to everyone here I am reassured that I am not being paranoid or delusional. So a hard line may be needed - especially with my extended family. As a matter of fact yall might want to keep them in your prayers....because the next one that makes a crack about my CLD (chicken little disease) or calls me chicken little with anything but complete and utter affection - is going to need them!!! :frying pan: Does anyone know if there is an emergency "bail out" fund here for members that lose their paitaince and need bailed out of jail??? LOL

I finished my first major crochet project this week. This is where I tried to add in a picture and lost everything I had typed earlier. So when I am done here I will see if I can't figure out how to do it, if not here then in the gallery. It is a blanket for my DS. I am happy with it, it feels so good to make something with your own hands even if it's not perfect in the end.

I finished a couple of pleasure reads, and have more waiting for me to go to the library tomorow and pick up.

Nothing to tremendous but I am a step ahead of where I was last week, which is good enough for now. So I am ready to enjoy the weekend. I might just go and buy myself a fruit tree to plant.

Now I am going to pretty myself up a bit, clean off our pool table, and prepare to whup DH's butt in 8-ball when he gets home. I am putting on one my weekend happy songs to set the mood. Here is the link if anyone wants to join in on some virtual happy dancing! (Hope it works!)
