CKU in Anaheim was awesome. Life Changing. I met the most wonderful people. Jessie, Leah, Suzanne, Becky, Roxanne, Sara T..got to see some old friends like Teresa (not OLD) and even ran into LB, TW, and others...got to know Ally, Kim, and Anna (Bling) better....got some great advice on the store after I pulled myself out of my blue funk...I hate it when Erika is right!
I'm up and down lately, a big improvement over only being down....one day I have amazing ideas and inspiration, and the next, why bother even getting out of bed? We are getting our house appraised tomorrow, hopefully it will be worth enough to refinance for some extra cash to get us thru a little longer. What a pain it has been to get the house cleaned up, which is depressing in itself...I wish we had a beautiful, organized house all the time! Getting slowly better at it, tho...
Scrapper's Dream closing....mixed feelings about that, it hits so close to home, but maybe we'll pick up a few customers? I feel so bad for Kim, no one can really know except another store owner how we put our hearts into it, not to mention way too much money...we make mistakes, we drive some people away....it's impossible to keep everyone happy. What a wonderful staff I have, Lynzee, Candy, Sue and everyone else who care more about the success of the store than the money or job I provide. It's been a long road, I'm not ready to give up yet, although DH would love to. Just taking it one day at a time....
Listening to Green Day and Coldplay lately since I got their CDs. Downloading ITunes as I'm writing this, thanks to Cathy Z....
Missing Callie....
Not a great picture, but the only one I could find online. We put her to sleep last Friday, her kidneys were failing, and she was miserable. What a sweet kitty she was, she had 2 wonderful lives, one in Iowa for 10 years, with 4 litters of kittens, and her retirement here in Phoenix, where she only had to put up with Barkley and Delilah. Funny how the two of them are much nicer to each other now that Callie is gone.
