an attempt

so...i am going to attempt. and when i say "attempt" that is exactly what i mean...attempt. you know when you say a word over and over and then it just sounds weird.? and then you wonder if you spelled it correctly or even said it correctly? well, i think i said it too many times. because that is what just happened. so...no promises. just "attempts" here. uh. said it again. anyway! i was thinking that i would try to blog more often. hmm, what a novel idea. create a blog and then actually write a post now and then. priceless.

so here is my post for today and hopefully i will write another one before the month is over:)

today i enjoyed some local shopping. and i must say, it was delightful. seriously. i am all about supporting local shops and small business owners. i think it is great. however, if it is too pricey or i can find the same exact thing somewhere else for a better deal, well then...you don't got my business ya'll. maybe because i'm too frugal, or maybe because i'm too poor, or maybe both:) some places i suppose i will have to leave to the tourists.

i found a few cute things for gifts and a new shop that i was pleasantly surprised to find. and it was not overpriced. that was a shocker, because i was completely thinking it was going to be. what a gem. i will go there again for unique finds and friendly small town service.

there is a lot on my mind right now. thinking about the next place we will be going and all that goes along with that. new people, new places, new life...again. but for now we are "here" for several months. so this is our life right now. and then it will be "there." oh, and then it will be another place. seriously when does all of this change end?! at least we have a path, it isn't completely uncertain. we know where we are now:) and where we will be later. it's just after that. we have somewhat of a say, but it is not completely up to us. the Lord will station us where He wants us:) and we will go. i realize i am being somewhat vague...and that is what i will be for now regarding where and when and who and what and how and why:)

it is exciting. but scary. an adventure. always an adventure. at least we aren't bored:)

i have been a real "planner" today. i have been planning up the yiang yang today! it is great and yet it can be overwhelming. i think it happened while i was out today. i just started to get all of these ideas about lots of different things. wow, too much fun for me. "out on the town" and i just go crazy:) somebody stop me:)

for what it's worth...that's my "attempt" for the day.
