O-U-C-H !

Had a little accident at work yesterday---squatted down low to get a leash off a little dog & couldn't get back up! Felt "rubber band snaps" on the side/behind my knee!!! Had to hang on to the fencing until someone could help me to the desk---yikes!

Made it to the doc who said they couldn't take xrays since i can't straighten my leg (???)---was a little puzzled by that. i am in PRIMO PAIN when i attempt to move it out or lay down with it elevated. i can sit without too much discomfort. They sent me home w/crutches (which stink!) so i do my best to get around with an old walker & my rolling desk chair.

Decided to stick it out today & go back to the doc tomorrow to see what they say...maybe i need a referral for an ortho---double yikes!

Tune in next time! lol

to forgive...

The message at church today included forgiveness...to forgive means to release...and i found myself realizing i am certainly one of many holding on to some bitter (even hateful) feelings towards people in my past that did indeed hurt me. The message continued that if i am to truly live the way God intends---that i have to forgive---to release. Hmmm...Pastor did say that you in no way have to try and restore any kind of relationship you had with the person(s)...if that means i don't have to call anyone up & say "hi, i forgive you" then i think i can deal with it...at least i will try.

Weekend Fun???

So the weekend is here...i think heavy rain is in the forecast today...and i have to do a home party with Heavenscent Gifts this afternoon...yikes! i gotta work tomorrow so will miss church, but if the weather is nice i promised my niece i'd go swimming with her.

And that's my wild wacky weekend plans! lol...NOT!

The Weekend is here...sort of!

i have 2 days off in a row---so it's sort of a weekend! i plan to paint up the orders i received from Saturday so i can get them to the customers. i also need to clean up my craft room---plans to start painting for real means i need some more organization!

i'm still enjoying all the dog blogs i find! i am anxious to start volunteering for German Shepherd rescue here in NJ.

Today was "Caricature Day" at work at Camp Bow Wow---For a $10 donation dog owners had a drawing done of their dog & they were soooo cute! Proceeds (100%) go to rescue groups!

Off to relax a bit!

Busy Weekend!

Although i had the weekend off this time---i think i was more tired than if i had worked! The Rawhide Rescue Flea Market was Saturday, then Sunday was decorating Camp Bow Wow for the anniversary celebration & a Mary Kay party at my friend's house. i was soooo tired by bed time!

Today i go to work a little later so this morning i need to catch up on a little bit of housework. But first....breakfast!

Time to Volunteer

Altho' i miss my Dana terribly---i still am not about to add another dog to the pack just yet. Lucky Face & Lucy have enough health problems that i can't ask them to accept another dog on top of that!...of course if a shepherd were to drop in my lap...i'd take it!

But i've been thinking...i want to someday get another shepherd thru a rescue...and i always check Garden State German Shepherd Rescue. They are always looking for volunteers, so i thought THAT would be my "German Shepherd" fix! i'm going to fill out the volunteer application & help at the fundraisers, make some of my crafts for them, etc. i think that will be good for me! i think that my experince in helping with a rescue organization may even be "blog-worthy"!

The NEW Venture!

My friend Claire has taken our idea of selling our hand painted/handmade items & ran with it! She has started HeavenScent Gifts...and i'm here to ask everyone to please check it out! Altho' it's New Jersey based i'm sure we can ship (U.S. only for now)
