why write a blog

I decided to create a blog to write more and to have some documentation of my life such as it is right now. I am sitting in my new PUD with my pug watching my 17 year old sleep on my new couch. I still can't find my silverware. I am having a hard time deciding between unpacking today or to get a pedicure. So far the pedicure is winning. I have started gardening mostly out of necessity. I would rather be quilting or reading a book but the best looking plants in my yard are the weeds and I think that is a bad sign. I am attending a business college in Santa Rosa and I have about 9 months left before I have to start working. I hope I find my silverware by then. Until tomorrow.

It was 104 here today and I am lazy when it is that hot. It is odd being single after being married for so long. I miss having someone to talk to but I don't miss the disrespect. I have no clue how to date or to meet men. Do they just knock on your door? If so then they only come when I am not home. I have been searching for my silverware for a few days. Maybe I don't want to find it because I might have to cook.

One week in the new house. People all around. I am not use to having neighbors and noises so close. It is kind of nice. I went back to the town I moved away from and felt a pull to drive to my old address. It brought tears to my eyes and memories of days past. I miss my old life and I am looking forward to my new life. I have one foot in my old life and one in the new. All the kids will be gone soon and I am looking forward to some quiet time to create and think.

hello

Hello all I am a new blogger so be gentle with me. I am a quilter, knitter, stitcher, and soon to be empty nester. I just moved into a 1200 sq ft home out of a 4200 sq ft home. I have too much stuff. A year and a half ago my husband left me and reading gabrielle and dave and mel and others has kept me sane. Thanks all.
