Maybe because it's Monday, maybe because I have some time to myself tonight that I was feeling a downer coming on. I just wanted to cry tonight. If I got my period anymore I'd say it was "that" time of the month, but since I don't I just say it was one of those days. I think I'm just feeling sorry for myself tonight. Maybe I need a group hug or something like that. It could help! Barry is still out of work. There doesn't seem to be alot of jobs in the IT department right now in Dallas. He's gotten a few for travel jobs, but with his bag problems I know he won't take one of those, so we wait and wait some more. He did apply for a IRS job. They are hiring in Dallas, but who knows about the government! My youngest son Evan came over tonight to drop his key off---the one he gave us---but had to borrow back. He's off to Cancun tomorrow for his good friends second wedding. We get to take care of the fish tank! Also we like to use the pool but since Barry needs to have a bathroom around every hour or so, we need to be able to go to his apartment. It helps to have the key! He's one of the reasons I thought a good cry might be in order. He works an investment firm and handles our funds. I emailed him last Thursday to sell somethings so we would have an income for August. He didn't see the email and now it's another week before we get a check! Just a small thing but it seems like the mountain just gets higher and higher.
It's still very hot in Dallas. It was suppose to be about 105 today! To warm to even be out. I made a few cards but didn't take any pictures yet. I was busy taking pictures of Barry's collection of bar glasses and sports glasses. He wants to sell them and we needed to have pictures for ebay. There was some like his on ebay, but nothing is selling right now either. I had 7 cards on tonight and only 3 sold and not for top dollar or anything like that. I ask you, do people really need to spend money on food when they could buy my cards?!~!~
I'm not sure if I showed you this card before, so I'll show it again. I really like this one and think it might be worth looking at again! Ok, so maybe I'm the only one who thinks so---so don't look if you don't want!
Take care everyone, stay out of the hot sun. Create, create, create!
((((((((((HUG)))))))))))))
I have been having too many of these days of late! I can't pinpoint it but maybe something is in the air!!!!

We all have those times in life, Paula - this too shall pass! I really love the card. If it's any consolation, it's been between 106 & 110 here for the last week. The poor plants are really taking a beating & we can't seem to get water to them fast enough. Hope you have a much better day today!!!

Oh honey...here's a big squeeze for you. It's ok to feel blue sometimes...it just happens. Have yourself a good cry - it actually releases bad hormones from your system. Who knows you may even feel better afterwards. Just know that there are those of us out here, rootin' for you and wishing you happier days!

I don't know what to say; I don't know you, just from reading your blog. Just sending some smiles and cheer from one Paula to another. The card is beautiful.

Hello Paula,
I don't know you personally, but I feel as if I do because I check your blog often. I am sending you well wishes, positive waves, and prayers for blessings upon your family. It's tough now, and I think at times it gets stressful. I hope you keep creating and posting and selling!
