Okay, what is my deal, I have been really bad at this blogging!
But, things have been rough around here since Christmas. Everyone is fighting, then my dad went into a nursing home to recuperate from pneumonia, money stinks and is always not there when you need it and I get to be the CFO of this corporation so everybody has a complaint and guess who they come to!!!!!!
Then, when I thought it couldn't get any worse, my dad died. He died. At the age of 73. He would have been 74 on March 3rd. He died on Tuesday, February 17th at 4:00 a.m. in the nursing home in Baton Rouge LA. My daddy who I had finally established a fantastic relationship with and loved like crazy, passed away. I have been in complete shock ever since. It has been absolutely horrible. And sad, so damned sad. The only thing that has kept me from being a complete and total lump (because I just want to lay down and cry all the time) is my new Pomeranian puppy, Mimi. 
Mimi is a gift from the Gods!!!! She is cute, funny, and an absolute love bucket. And she is crazy about me which is wonderful because I don't think I could deal if she didn't. Taking care of her has been what has gotten me through. I tried to paint, I tried to make some cards, I tried to draw....nothing! So I just hugged my puppy and that made me feel so much better.
Now I am working on wrapping up my dad's financial stuff, he donated his remains to science so I haven't gone down to LA yet for the memorial. We are going to go down when the will has been completed and we can clean out his house at which time we will have a memorial service. So, until then, I am just trying to work here an make more stuff. I am working on cutting some paper silhouettes of various things which I will have ready to post in a few days. I promise, promise, that i will be a good blogger from now on!
To all of my friends out there, I hope you all are well and happy!
