And so it begins...

So, this is my first post. I like to talk. However, there is not always someone around that is willing to listen. You see, I am living in a world of men. I have one husband (and that is plenty) and two teen aged boys (and that is more than plenty as well). I am surrounded. And surrendered. This is more for self preservation than anything else. I think that this may become a perfect outlet for things I think I need to say. I think I am witty, so I will be able to re-read my entries and just giggle. In my head. Because that's what I like to do.

I have a different writing style I think. I can make choppy sentences. That is ok. Again, they are like the thoughts in my head and occasionally they are choppy too. Since this is more just for me than anything else, I am ok with my choppy sentences. So there.

I am 38. When I was 8ish, 38 was OLD. I mean really old. Like nursing home old. Now that I am 38, I still think it's old. But not nursing home old. Only like holding onto the handrail while walking down the stairs old. Even if there is only 2 steps. But I am trying to learn to live with it. I think by the time I learn to live with it though, I will be onto the next stage; The "Putting The Hanky Into Your Bra Strap Old" stage. Sigh...

Yesterday I made an error in judgement. Like how much time was left to let someone else bid on an item so I did not have to buy it while shopping on Ebay error. I am now the not-so-proud owner of a Cricut Expression. It is not that I don't want one. I just don't want one now. I have an electronic cutter already, a Silhouette. I like it. It works just fine. I would like something that could cut 12 x 12 but I can cut 8 x whatever and I am able to live with it. I did get a great deal on the Expression, but I still don't know what I was thinking. Well, I wasn't thinking. That is part of the problem. So, now I have an Expression on it's way to me. I will try to sell the thing off and will probably have to reduce the price as a stupid tax on myself. Dumb. Since I already have to pay for the cruise that I am going on in December. Alone. Without my family. Which brings me to the next thing...

The cruise. So I am not really going alone. I am going with 700 of my closest online community friends. I am a Disney person. Well, really more of a fanatic. But I see nothing wrong with that. At all. Don't judge me. It is rude. Anyway, I went on an Adventures by Disney trip with 43 of those same closest online friends and the vast majority of them are going on the Disney cruise in December. I just have to go. There are Disney legends that will be on board and we will have the opportunity to hear amazing stories of the Parks, the Movies and The Disney Men. I am very excited. I talked about going with one person from the ABD trip because the person that she was planning was not sure if she could go. I had not heard from her for awhile and so I put it out of my head assuming that it was just not going to happen. It was ok. There would be other trips. They would not have all the Dissers on it and the Disney Legends would not be sailing the same ship, but it would be ok. Right? Well, I tried telling myself that anyway. So fast forward a couple of weeks. I get a message from Tonya, another ABD/Disser and her parents can't go on the cruise like they were supposed to and would I like to go? Would I???? You bet. A couple of messages and one phone call later, I am in! Whoo-hoo! And the cruise leaves out of Port Canaveral in FL. It isthisclose to Disney World. So, what's a girl to do? Extend her trip of course to allow extra days in the parks! So, now I have to pay for all this. Hence the need to NOT buy a Cricut Expression.

Well, that is the first of many musings. Only time will tell what other messes I will get myself into. That is all for now. I am off to buy laundry detergent to engage in yet another one of my passions; laundry...
