Deep In The Forrest

Wow, the year is really flying by... the days and weeks are chugging along! Happy September everybody! That means we have a holiday coming up for Labor Day (here in the U.S.) Honestly, I started a post, and kept trying to jot down ideas for what I wanted to say, but each time I would get ready to put something to it, I would get interrupted by things that I had to do, work or some issues that demanded attention. I'm telling you it has remained so crazy and tiring like that. I love to blog, and it relaxes me, but I just can't seem to get time to clear my mind and focus. A nice long Vacation and R&R is much needed by your dear Aunt Jackie, I swear... I don't think many people are stopping in these days, so not much is getting missed... but still, it's my blog and I'll rant if I want to... that is, when time is kind enough to allow. Maybe I can get in a good one tomorrow. Damn "The Man"!!

Dear Tink and WWC Family, Please excuse AJ for being absent for the Weekly Words Challenge this week. She had a terrible case of loose vowels. She will be back in next week and will make up this week's assignment as well. Sincerely, AJ's Higher Self Yes I missed yesterday, and of course I could do the 'late but Wednesday' version like I did last week, but I had higher hopes of my photos being more worthy. I only have 2 possible submissions and I really don't like either one of them for the keywords. So you guys will have to sit tight until next Tuesday, and not only do I promise not to be late, I am going to begin doing my WWC entries (like Jay does I think) on Monday nights and having them all shiny and ready for Tuesday. I really must pick myself up and get my @$$ in gear. This has been unacceptable. I know, I know... I have been through a great deal in the last year (years), but still I gotta keep moving and living and trying to make ends meet. Everyone is busy,...

Hey guys, I have really had a busy and stressful few days. Sorry I haven't even posted on anything or mentioned if I was going to WWC--I am, I am going to be late and do it today but I am, so hang in there. Sorry for delays, just swamped and tired. :-\ Love, AJ

Here we are, smack dab at the top of 2009. This is the First Friday of the new year (2nd day o' the year). That's right! This is my first official non-holiday post of the new year, I don't have to say "happy" anything except for that I feel happy about that. I am just so glad that the "Holidays" are officially over. For starters, Yesterday was a good day. I didn't sleep too late, even though I was quite tired still from the last couple of days of holiday work and wear. I basically got up, bundled up with all my riding gear, and rode down to Mom-n-Dad's on my motorcycle. Yeah that's right, Jimi was quite excited to hit the pavement after this spell of "icky" weather, I just haven't wanted to be out in the muck and the freezing temps. Don't get me wrong, it was still quite chilly yesterday, but with my layers, and beautiful blue cast that the sun was gifting the sky, I could not resist. When I arrived at Moms, she was still...

Alright so I never got to finish up my WWC for this week, o.k. I feel bad about it, but I'm way behind and I am just going to have to try for next week. At least I did offer up my husband as some comic relief. :) This is Wednesday. It's the day that I thought was yesterday when yesterday was the day before, making yesterday's yesterday only Monday when I thought it was the day after... Make sense?? Well nothing else does today, so glad you could join me. Since it is "Hump Day", maybe a little good clean fun is in order. Watch The Video , it is the Sticky Note Experiments . It is fun-looking, and the colors are cool, but honestly (hate to be a stick in the mud, but...) what about all of this paper?? is it just being wasted? Did they use the sticky notes and then maybe even recycle rather than waste or discard them? O.k., I know I should be enjoying the display only, so go ahead and enjoy... Here's The Link Again . Enjoy! In other news, last night was Band Pract...
