Hey All,
I've been a little out of touch this last two weeks, since I've been busy at work and with my new beau. Yah, my new boyfriend is great! I've been dating an Egyptian born guy names Fady (said like like fade-y). We haven't been together too long, but its been fun & we both really like each other. He is a Christian and he is very nice & respectful. For our one week anniversary he came over with a bunch of roses & made me dinner (it was yummy!!).
Work has been going good, I'm still waiting to hear back about the full-time position. I'm hoping this will work out soon & I can get the paperwork started (since it takes like 8 months for anything to be finalized around here). I am thinking about coming to Jax this weekend with Fady to visit Eve and Jen & Pat. We might just meet Evey-Q half-way for dinner or something. I really want her and Fady to meet each other, I've told him that Eve is very much like me and that she is someone who is very important to me so he needs to meet her. And I also, of course, want the sister low-down of her opinion of him....hehe.
Well, I miss & love all of you, I hope to be coming up soon for a visit. I don't work next weekend (8/5-/8/6), would any of you like to get together for a pool party or dinner? Let me know what all of your weekend plans are. Love you all!

Mmmmm....,
Gosh, why am I up so early (5:48am)?? I think I need to see a doctor, because I truly cannot control the amount of sleep that I receive on a nightly basis. I also often have trouble clearing my mind to be able to actually fall asleep. I dunno, its weird. Its kinda like my body & mind are on opposite tracks. Actually, maybe thats not right, because I often am just not tired (physically or psychologically). I can stay up for days a time and will have more energy than some people around me (and no, I dont really drink coffee).
Well, enough about sleep patterns. My waking patterns have been just as active recently. I was out of town this previous weekend, helping out a deppressed friend in need. It went ok, though Im not sure I really did much good or had much impact. Ah well, at least I was there, that says something.
Ive been working A LOT of hours recently, I made an arrangement with my boss to start coming in earlier. Ive also applied for a FT position with my company, that way I would be eligible for benefits & such. So, these have been some good (exhausting) prospects.
Well, off to toss & turn in bed, hopefully it will lead to some sleep.

Love you all.

Good Morning-

Good Morning All,
I had a really good Friday, and received lots of good news. First, I found out that one of my sisters has had several suitors expressing interest in her, which totally thrills us both!
Secondly, I had my review at my job and got a lot of flattering feedback, which made me feel a lot better about my position there (I have been looking for new job prospects in G-ville & Jax.). Basically my boss told me that she was pretty impressed by my speed & accuracy in the lab, and was glad that I have never been late or had any issues with the position or co-workers, etc. But more importantly, at the end of our review I told her that I was happy at my job, but that I really was interested in working more hours (since I was hired on as PT). She about jumped out of her seat. Basically my boss isn't really supposed to be working in the lab, she is just the lab manager, not technically a specimen analyzer -so she's not really to be working on the floor. So, essentially I will be coming in earlier and will be completely relieving her of having to be in the lab, so she can concentrate on other things. And I'm totally happy, because now I'm essentially going to be working FT hours!! Yah!
This jointly agreeable situation will help me be able to actually be able to live above and beyond paycheck to paycheck! What a financial relief, especially being that I had started searching for other positions with more hours (of course in Gville it was slim pickin's)! I will be able to pay my bills and have more than $20 left over, sweeeeet! And this will help me dig myself out of my financial hole and be able to really start to pay off some long standing debts. All of this is as I said, an incredible relief.
Ok, third, I am going home to see the family this weekend and I'm really looking forward to catching up with everyone and celebrating all of these wonderful people I am blessed to be related to (and their birthday's!). I love that my parents & siblings all truly love and appreciate one another's' company. There is no bad blood (or bad relationships) in my (immediate) family. That is a wonderful thing to be able to say and admit with pure honesty. I feel bad for families that have members or situations that have been ostracized by whatever familial stuff and cant talk, console, or confide in/with each other. Family is one of life's simplest and most fulfilling pleasures. I learn so much from my family members, and I have experienced true acceptance by these people that at times I have wronged more than I even know.

-I learned about forgiveness and the re-birth of relationships with/from my both of my amazing parents. And similarly, the very important value of relationships. The situations that they have braved & conquered would make some others crumble, but they kept on treading (often barely able to tread water), and have always kept their relationship as central and I think that had a lot to do with the successes of our family. I often comment to people about how much I love my parents relationship and interaction. Their constant communication (about everything under the sun & then some), affection, patience, and love, is so cute and its the model I use for my ideal relationship traits.

-My Mom has taught me about beauty, appreciation of nature, and being comfortable in most situations. Her strength, intelligence, and patience amazes me. From her I inherited my love of gardening and the knack for it. I also love her great resourcefulness. Oh, and my Mom has taught me the artful skill of creating a yummy meal out of hardly anything!
-My Dad has taught me eccentricity, how to shrimp, and humbleness. His battles with depression & other personal demons make me know strength and personal perseverance (although I know at times he wouldn't agree with me!, that's ok). I love and so appreciate my Dad's many sacrifices for our family. He has stolen food for us when we had none, even though it was something that he did not feel good about or think was right. But he has always taken care of us and been able to provide (same for my Mom too).
-My oldest sister has taught me about uninhibited love and fun. We have also both cultivated and shared some very honest, raw conversation and have both learned so much about the other with open eyes and open hearts. I love her craziness, her uniqueness, and her sense of humor.
-My older brother helped my developing music tastes and has taught me that no matter what your situation or background if you have drive and intelligence you can accomplish anything you want. Also, his general kindness & unselfishness towards all is incredibly admirable. (And of course I love his dorkiness~)
-My older, middle sister has taught me about silliness & deep seriousness. She has shared some of my darkest times with me and has always been there waiting on the otherside with open arms. She has shown me love and respect when I didn't have any for myself and has never held anything against me (though all of this could be said for any of my family members). I feel that when I'm with her, I don't have any of my own self-perceived faults. She is so creative and caring, her passion for travel and more importantly life, inspires me. She is such an optimist that its contagious.

Ok gosh, didn't mean for this to become an essay on family. Ah well, it happens.
Love you all, I will see you all later on...
-P

Happy Friday!

noreply@blogger.com (sunnybunni) — Fri, 07 Jul 2006 08:59:00 +0000

Good Morning All,
It's Friday again, and this weekend is 'The Great Cowart Birthday Cookout Celebration (2006)'!! I'm excited to make the trip up to see everyone, because it's always nice to be able to reconnect with the fams.

I had a kinda weird experience over the past few weeks. I live in a low income neighborhood ('le ghetto'), and since its summer lots of the kids are aloof and wandering around playing wherever they can without getting into trouble. -I had been gardening a few days ago, and doing some major re-planting 'till I got a call and needed to go inside to take it. When I came back outside I found this neighborhood kid (who I hadn't previously met) pouring concentrated fertilizer on my succulents! Now that isn't such a big deal except it kinda weirded me out that this stranger kid was about to be killing off all my plants (since the concentrated fertilizer has to be added to water & diluted)....Well, I immediately asked him to stop and explained why. I wasn't mad or anything just kinda weirded out. He then just kinda stood around on the (small) porch not saying anything. I figured that he must feel strange, since little kids are kinda strange or awkward to begin with...(heh, j/k) having an adult type person catch him on their porch. After a little while of silence I asked him if he was interested in doing some gardening and introduced myself. We had some sporadic conversation as I showed him how to plant seeds and told him some of the history of my porch container garden. He seemed mildly interested, and after half an hour or so, he felt more comfortable and asked more questions about the plants and such. I was all too happy to explain wayyyy more than he was really asking for. I guess I was trying to conjure up some interest in science & plants in him, or at least some conversation. I gave him several little pots with seeds and gave him specific instructions on how to maintain either a container or outside garden. I was trying to keep it simple and interesting, but his feigned interest really made me unsure of how I was doing (like if I was draggin on or being too technical).
Anyways (that whole dragging on thing...heh), he started coming around everyday or every other day, and would come like 4-5 times a day banging, and I mean banging not knocking on my door to ask for things -more seeds, pots, soil, cat food, or change. Well, I was a little annoyed at his knocking style, or lack thereof (because I sleep during the day), but I just let it go. -I don't usually get annoyed with kids, because I like & want to be patient and accepting. You never know what someone is or has gone through, and I like to keep that in mind when dealing with kids, and anyone really.
Well, he started bringing friends over to my porch and they would hang out when I was away at work or sleeping during the day. I then basically discovered that some things were missing from my porch and they were directly planting related. That really freaked me out. I suddenly didn't trust this stranger little kid anymore. I understand being strange in childhood, but him stealing things from my porch and bring people over when I wasn't home and then coming over and asking Gete & I for change was really the final straw. I felt slightly violated & sad, and was imagining the worst; little kids all bomb-rushing my porch and taking my valuable (only to me) plants! I decided that to be comfortable in my own space and to protect my meager porch possessions that I needed to be direct and confront him, which really kinda made me uncomfortable.
So I did and it was interesting. I simply told him that I knew that several things were missing, and that I didn't want them back & I wasn't upset about that, but more that after extending kindness that he would come back and take things without permission. I also mentioned that he wouldn't like if I took something from his room/house, etc. I made sure that I asked him if he understood where I was coming from and also I reinforced that I wasn't tryin to be mean or nasty, more that I was just disappointed in him. His reaction gave away how he felt, he immediately put his head down, offered to return the pots & soil, etc, and seemed truly upset with being confronted with it. I felt bad just looking at him!
I told him he was welcome to come around when I was home and to please (out of respect) not take my things without permission. I also told him that I still wanted to hear how his garden was going and that I wanted to know about his new kittens. I tried to let him know that he was still welcome, within reason.
Since then Gete & I have had a few random children coming over asking for change & kitten food, etc. I barely have enough kitty food or change for myself, and I'm not trying to run a children's house, so I have to kindly decline (honestly I'm usually broke & my kitty eats special PH food, which I unfortunately really cant afford to share). This really makes me feel bad, because if I had the money or resources I wouldn't care about giving it away, to children, the homeless, or others. I am of the mindset that once I decide to give money away I don't care what its used for. I've given money to people that I knew where going to go get drunk or whatnot, because I could tell it was important to them, and I wasn't going to hold that against them. If I lived on the street, I might want to drown my harsh daily reality with drink too. Once it has left my hands, and I have made the informed decision to donate it I just let it go and give it away (mentally).
I once thought that I would always want to have bread & change or ones on me at all times. The change or ones for homeless people or others in need who asked or simply needed it, and the bread to feed birds (or really in dire situations the homeless or needy people), but I figured at least I would always have something on me to give. This hasn't always worked out, I have been hitting financial rock-bottom recently from not being employed & just trying to get everything back on track, and have had to use/keep any change or otherwise for my household, which includes bread money. But one day I think I would like to work something out like this. Maybe keeping some change & simple canned foods on me in my car or something to that effect, or maybe like a situational preparedness kit.

Hmmmmmm......Something to think about.
Much love to all, Hope you all have a great Friday & I look forward to seeing you on Sunday!!

The Long Boat, By STANLEY KUNITZ

When his boat snapped loose
from its mooring, under
the screaking of the gulls,
he tried at first to wave
to his dear ones on shore,
but in the rolling fog
they had already lost their faces.
Too tired even to choose
between jumping and calling,
somehow he felt absolved and free
of his burdens, those mottoes
stamped on his name-tag:
conscience, ambition, and all
that caring.
He was content to lie down
with the family ghosts
in the slop of his cradle,
buffeted by the storm,
endlessly drifting.
Peace! Peace!
To be rocked by the Infinite!
As if it didn't matter
which way was home;
as if he didn't know
he loved the earth so much
he wanted to stay forever.

Looking over my previous posts, Im stating to think that maybe my blog should be titled Rabbit in a Hole...heh.

Love you all,

copy of email....

noreply@blogger.com (sunnybunni) — Tue, 16 May 2006 04:45:00 +0000

A copy of an email Ive sent the family::

Hi All,
This email is being sent to you all to find out exactly what your opinions are on my situation. I am seriously thinking of the moving back to Jax. plan. I think that may be what I need to do. I have started to apply to a few places there tentatively based on my possible moving. I would like to know what you all think about this and what you think from your perspectives would be the best thing for me.
I really appreciate all the help everyone has given me, financial and otherwise. You guys have helped me survive and for that I'm really humbly indebted. I know I sound serious, but this is stuff that has been weighing so heavily on my mind, and I feel like I'm close to being out of options, so I take it pretty seriously. I'm not trying to jerk everyone around here, with my indecisiveness, its just that things aren't really working out here and I wanted to know what you all though about my coming back. Please respond at your convenience, nothing pressing, just wanted to check with you all and get some other opinions. Thanks everybody. I love you all, hope you are all doing good, and I missed you guys on Sunday (again, another happy Mother's Day wish to a wonderful mom!). Hope everyone has a great week. Hope to see you all soon.

Much love,
-Patti

Good Morning-

Hi All,
I had a good weekend in J-ville this weekend. Spent most of Saturday with Mom, Dad, & Evey-Q. We had a really good lunch at the Chinese buffet (yummers!) and then just chilled at M&D's, it was a good relaxing time. E-Q and I then just went back to her house, ordered pizza and watched videos for the rest of the night -Till I passed out heavily on the sofa. I needed that, I was pooped...Though, a problem was that I woke up around 3:00am, and then couldn't get back to sleep for the life of me...Ugh. I hate when that happens, and I feel like I cant control my own body. I sat around, tried to watch some TV (which was hard cause E-Q doesn't have cable, and her rabbit-ear antenna's don't really get good reception), all I have to say is INFOMERCIAL!>>
I was thinking about going for a drive or something, but I decided I shouldn't waste my gas. So, at around 4:45am I woke E-Q up and told her I was thinking about leaving and that since I will be in town next weekend, could we reschedule our library plans, we didn't really have much planned for the day. She didn't seem to mind too bad, but I hate to change plans like that on someone (luvs you, forgive me dear!).

E-Q and I actually had the most fun I've ever had in a drive through going to Dairy Queen at 11pm!! We had a ball. I had E-Q laughing so hard she couldn't order or drive...heh. It was great and made me appreciate my sis that much more....We laughed ourselves silly and I really enjoyed myself (E-Q: dont forget the P-nut shortage!!)!

My drive back was good, there was really no traffic going in my direction, and it was a beautiful night to be driving. I was ultra observant, so as to not squish any bunnies or anything.

Well, another great weekend with the family and I'm looking forward to the next one coming up. It will be Mother's Day and I think we will all plan something special to show our great, wonderful, intelligent, great gardening, beautiful mother how much we appreciate her (and love her tons)!! Sorry to dip out so soon this weekend, but I will definitely see you all on the coming weekend. I love you all, and I hope everyone has a great week...!

Treading water-

noreply@blogger.com (sunnybunni) — Wed, 26 Apr 2006 15:45:00 +0000

Hi All,
Sorry for the long gaps in my BLOGS, Im trying to remember to post more often.
Well, I am still job hunting, that is the biggest thing going on in my life right now. Im pretty broke and Ive just been trying to figure out what path I should be taking. Im torn between staying here in Gville or coming back to Jville..ugh, decisions, decisions. I know I can get a good paying job immediately if I was in Jville right now, but I still have a class or two to take, so Im not sure if I should leave now. I have been trying really hard to get a decent paying job here, so that I can finish my degree and also be able to save money to move to Jville.
So, anyways, you can tell that Im in a tight spot. Positive thoughts and prayers are always appreciated! I need it right now. I really feel like Im barely able to treat water.
On a more positive note, I will be able to enroll in my classes today, so that is always a good thing. Well, much love to all.

Miss you all, Hope everyone has a good week,
-P

Hmmmm.....

noreply@blogger.com (sunnybunni) — Thu, 20 Apr 2006 05:49:00 +0000

One thing I noticed is that E & I both have the tendancy to compose To-DO lists with alot of detail. Like we write everything we are going to do that day. Literally. We are both list kind of people.
But, I think that this is directly related to my Dad, and the way that he too composes To-Do lists with lots of detail, just like ours. I never really noticed it before, but we were/are directly influenced by the way that he made his notes.....kinda interesting.

Just a thought. Have a good day!,
Love you all,
-P

To EVEY-Q::::::::::

noreply@blogger.com (sunnybunni) — Thu, 06 Apr 2006 12:37:00 +0000

Hey Darling,
Just wanted to let you know that I made that Dr's appt. for May 2nd @ 6pm. Please adjust your schedule accordingly and request that day off if you dont already have it off. Also, could you please pass along to Jen&Pat the news too. If they cant make it, that is totally fine though. Just wanted to inform everyone. Have a great day!

I LUVS YOU! Miss you!,

Hey Everyone,

noreply@blogger.com (sunnybunni) — Thu, 06 Apr 2006 12:28:00 +0000

Good Morning, Hi All,
Another beautiful morning. Ive got an interview this afternoon, so that is SUPER news,..keep me in your prayers~ Im kinda nervous about it, because I need to start working soon! Gosh, I never thought I would ever not be tired of not working!

Got the Lincoln donated (finally), and will contact them later this week to find out about the donation process as far as my tax deductions. Seems like Ive been fighting with everyone recently to get monies that are owed to me paid! Its like pulling teeth sometimes. Ive got Progressive my auto insurance company that owes me a check from months ago, and they are just giving me such a run-around. And then I had some problems being able to EFile my taxes. I kept getting it returned & rejected, but I was able to straighten it out and get it re-submitted.

I fell on my ankle last week, and me being the clutze that I am, have fallen another 3 times on the darn thing!! I think its because now I am slightly weaker and more prone to falling on that particular side. I mean Im clumsy, but come on (its pretty painful)!
Well, I hope everyone has a good day! Enjoy your Thursday & know that you are loved!

Love you & Miss you!~

Hi All (Art is good for you!)....

noreply@blogger.com (sunnybunni) — Fri, 31 Mar 2006 18:06:00 +0000

Hi All,
Another lovely Friday afternoon here in G-ville. I've included some copies of some of the Photoshop (photo program) artwork that I have piddled around with. These are kinda old, but I realized that not many of you have had the chance to see of my (computer) art. Hope you guys enjoy them, I couldn't include the originals to show you exactly how I made these images, but some of them you can kinda tell. They are all pretty-much just intricate collages that I tweak & mold into what I want....But I like 'em. I get a kick out of making these. Hope you guys like 'em, enjoy!!

-P

Good Morning,
Another sleepy, late night blog before I head to bed. I'm still working on getting the Lincoln towed, and I just had the trunk popped tonight (picked the lock) to get the spare keys out, to be able to donate the dang car....Gosh, sometimes its hard work to do good..But, I guess that;s what leads more to the satisfaction of doing it....The effort.
I had a scary dream last night. Woke up frightened. I've been having a lot of bad dreams recently, I'm thinking I may be watching too much Cold Case Files, Law & Order (SVU of course~), etc.....
Well, I'm off to bed. Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow.....

G'night,
-Patti

Tues.

noreply@blogger.com (sunnybunni) — Wed, 22 Mar 2006 07:27:00 +0000

Today went well. I had another interesting day in class. Plus I was able to search out a used bookstore, to get my book at half off what the college bookstore has it listed for..! Since I have to pay for it out of pocket, that is a big deal, and a big savings! So, Yah for private used bookstores!
Well, I am off to bed, I hope everyone has had a good day. I love you all and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

-P

(A note for Dad: I have really been enjoying your new book recently. It is such an entertaining and revealing read! I already love you bunches, but the new book has given me a deeper respect and understanding for all that you do/have gone through for all of us, myself included. Thank you.
I love the new book & I love you!)

~First day of class~

noreply@blogger.com (sunnybunni) — Tue, 21 Mar 2006 06:22:00 +0000

Today was the first day of my Spring Math class, and it went really well! I think I am really going to enjoy this class.
I was so pooped this afternoon that I wasn't able to make my Dad;s history talk....I really was looking forward to it. I haven't seen my Dad give a talk and its something that I would like to see- My Dad in action..!
I almost had my Lincoln towed by the Phoenix homeowners association, because I took the tag off of it to put on the Geo (vehicle with no tag = a No-No). I contacted them and was able to work everything out, since I am having the car towed by the end of the week by a charity organization (the Dignity Project).
Well, I hope that everyone is doing well. I had a great time in Jax. this weekend, and really enjoyed everyones' company! Have a great Tues. everyone~

Much Love to All,
-P

Ello, Ello

Hi There All,
Another day in a wonderful life! I was able to go to the college this afternoon and get signed up for classes! Yah!! I am very happy about this...of course..(Im a dork!)!~ I took some photos of my fridge, cause I thought Dad would appreciate them....Here they are...Enjoy!

Much Love, Miss you

Today

noreply@blogger.com (sunnybunni) — Fri, 06 Jan 2006 12:30:00 +0000

Good Morning All,
Another wonderful cold, brisk morning out. Its funny that it was like 73 yesterday, and today it starts off at a nice 44 outside. Good thing I am partial to the cool weather (though only when totally covered up and snuggly; that's the only way I can really handle it!).

I had a good day yesterday, nice and productive. I always feel really good when I have a productive day and feel like I have gotten some stuff finished/accomplished/whatever. Its a nice mood booster to have a long To-Do list and actually get most of it done. So basically, my day consisted of lots of cleaning, re-organizing, and researching stuff on the web. I have been correlating my class schedule, and am looking forward to getting back into the swing of student life. It will also be relieving once I have my schedule, because then I can more specifically job search.
I tried uploading some photos onto my blog, but I ran into some problems....So, be patient and be on the lookout, as soon I will have posted some really cool pix that Dad & I took on our day out (some seriously cool pictures !!).

Well, I'm off to start the new day and hopefully have a repeat of yesterday's productivity(yah!)~ I miss you all and you are in my thoughts & prayers. Hope everyone has a good Friday, nice days' at work, and at home. Love you all

Hello All,
I spent the last weekend in J-ville, and had a really good time with the family. I spent the weekend w/ J&P, and E. We all met for a family dinner on Monday night, and that was really cool too. (Of course, any time w/ my family is appreciated!) I spent Tues. w/ Dad and we ran around and had a great time talking and taking tons of photos! A very productive day indeed. Here are some photos from my Dad Day~

Good Morning-

noreply@blogger.com (sunnybunni) — Tue, 27 Dec 2005 14:57:00 +0000

Good Morning All,
Just a quick note to say that I am back in G-ville, and I have had a really good time spending my holidays with my family. I ended up leaving late last night (12/26/05), and drove home with no traffic and lots on my mind. I had a bit of a weird day yesterday, and ended up feeling a little drained and weirded out. That influenced my decision to leave during the evening, being that I was feeling kinda depressed & out of it. I did have plans with Dad to do some kicking around this morning, but since I wasn't feeling up to it, I went ahead and headed home. I hope this won't disappoint too much~ I really was looking forward to spending some time with him, just not under those mental circumstances.
I am planning on coming into town 'prolly next weekend, and I would to take a rain-check on our hanging out until then...(let me know). Well, sorry to dip out so soon, but I really just wasn't feeling up to it, and my home and kitties were beckoning.

Happy holidays all~!!!

Christmas List Update...(heh)

noreply@blogger.com (sunnybunni) — Thu, 08 Dec 2005 02:34:00 +0000

Here are a few things that I wanted to add to my Christmas list::::

- Absolutely Fabulous DVD (I already have 5th season, and I prefer the older ones better; 1st & 2nd season)

- Unique jewelry; necklaces; rings, nothing too fancy (and if Evey-Q could ever find something even remotely as cool as my pendant I would again be forever in-debted to her)

-New or Used Mp3 player(20Gb+), any brand- to replace mine which has just died.

- Larger Harddrive (I've got 3GB, 107 mb, and 7GB of available space, so roughly less than 11GB). I am constantly running out of free-space and have to continuously move things around)

- Mounted insects of any kind

- Mr. Show DVD

- Good Food Processor (KitchenAid-KFP750 $200, KitchenAid-Chef's Chopper KFC3100, Cuisinart-DLC5: 7 cup capacity $80). New or Used, nothing too fancy.

-Large plastic storage bins

Good Morning All,
I am up early, which is a rarity for me, so I decided to post a new blog entry as that is becoming a bit of a rarity too! But, here goes my effort to nip that in the bud.

I've got lots of plans for an active and productive day here in G-ville. I've got my To-Do list all written up and I'm ready to take on the day (although a little earlier than I'm used to)!
First, I need to make some phone calls. To my landlord Steve to thank him for being such a good landlord and for being so accommodating with me (since I had to pay the rent (really) late because I was waiting for money). Also, I get the great joy of calling the City of G-ville Recycling program, to discuss the disappearance of the only recycling dumpsters on this side of town. It's already bad enough that I have to drive all my recyclables there myself, since they won't allow recycling in my complex (even though there is a city ordinance that requires certain recyclables). Ugh~ Really I am just calling to find out if there is another recycling center nearby, or if they will ever be replacing those 7 full size dumpsters, which literally disappeared overnight! A few more phone calls to set some appointments (for a vision screening and then glasses) and then I am into the home stretch, and I can start running errands! Woo-Hoo..!
After a fun morning full of phone calls, I've got some kitty food to pick up, as well as my own food, so it off to the grocery store after the vet. Then, if I have any time or energy left at that point, then I may stop by the Thrift Store. And once I get home its job hunting for the rest of the evening, looking at classifieds.

Well, I hope that this blow-by-blow account of my productive day was mildly entertaining. I just figured what better way to keep you guys all informed on what I'm up to as to share my plans and my To-Do lists with you! I miss all of you guys, hope you are all having a good week and all is going well!

Much love to all my Cowart Clan~

Good Morning-

Hi All,
Sorry for the long pauses inbetween posts, but Ive got so much going on that its hard for me to remember to post here. But, I am going to try to make a morning post each day, to keep everyone informed of whats going on, and just to let everyone know that Im still alive & kicking.

Im re-connecting with all family members this week and I will be calling everyone to just drop a line and let you guys know about new Patti trials & tribulations (nothing that serious really). So, be on the lookout for a message, phone call, or carrier pigeon...

Ive been missing everyone bunches! I look forward to spending some holiday time with you guys! Also, if anyone has an open house this weekend (11/18-11/20), I was thinking of making a trip up to visit. Let me know!!

Much love!!
-Patti

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy...!!

Work and school again. I'm trying to post interestingly and often, though recently I'm just a little short of being interesting, and a little more than time consumed.

I'm excited to be able to contact more on a daily basis with my family though. That is something that I definitely look forward to, because I've recently thought that we have slipped into a 'holiday family' kinda category. I really love my family, they are a really great group of people. And I really do feel proud to be a part of such a cool, interesting, crazy, group -We have a great family dynamic.
I've been thinking more and more about moving back to J-ville, where the rest of the family is now situated. I think that this would definitely give me more time to spend with everyone, being that when in the same city it is much easier to keep up with each other.Well, I guess until that happens, I will be here, posting more of my daily drama (or, more likely, the lack-thereof) to keep you all informed....

Happy, Happy, Joy, Joy!! Have a good day/night everyone!
