i got so out of blogging. first my parents came and then i helped out my friend who is a pet sitter. i was busy pet sitting from before nine to after nine on some days. ginger didnt get dragged for her walks all week, and i drove the equivalent of CA and back...at least!!lol.but its all mostly is back to normal now. also, when all that trouble with blogger was going on, it was really getting on my nerves. youd write a whole comment and not be able to post it, is all that fixed yet????
lately i have been trying to really reduce the amount of "stuff" that i have. its crazy what commercials and ads will make you think you need!! i fell head first into all of it, im the worst at thinking i need something that i dont. i have gotten rid of bout 1/3 of my clothes so far. do you ever buy stuff and not wear it/use it because you want to save it for a special occasion? i mean, i dont want to be using nice stuff while im cleaning up after animals you know? but having something go out of style in the back of my closet...with the tags still on...is going a bit far!
Lillians foot got hurt earlier this week, so she probably wont be going to the lake to watch fireworks and swim like she did last year. its back into a bucket for her. at least for the time being:)
any plans for the fourth?
how have you all been? i have a lot to catch up on in your lives and i miss you.
im sorry i left so abruptly. ive also been working on some personal issue type things.trying to kick some OCD habits that have been plaguing me for way to long. hows that going you ask? ocds getting a beating.

HOLY COW!
I was ready to post a missing persons add. Glad your back - I missed you. Call me when you get a chance. I have tried to call a few times...
Glad you are back, Michelle! I think the Blogger stuff is all okay now, but I never had a problem to begin with so I wouldn't really know! I love getting rid of things, even though I don't hoard too much, I just love to see how little I can get by with. Although it doesn't always work.
I'm curious how you're dealing with the OCD stuff. I've been having some really bad times with it lately and don't know what to do. Good luck with yours!
Glad your back! Too much stuff for sure. I buy pants in multiples if I like them!
Yay, you're back! You've had a super busy month!
The blogger problem is an Internet Explorer thing. I don't think it was ever resolved, but I switched to using Mozilla Firefox and now I can post comments just fine.
We've reduced our posessions a lot and I can't wait to be able to sell off a lot of it when we move. The more we get rid of, the better I feel. Like you, I got dragged into commercialism for a while. It's hard not to!
I hope Lilly's foot is all better soon. Poor girl. :(
My plans for today include me sitting at home, relaxing with the girls. Mike has to work 12 hours, so it's an all girls day for us.
Keep beating on those OCD's! I've got a few issues that I'm starting to put a beating to myself. It feels good!
Hi Michelle!
Glad to hear from you! We've missed you too! But, sometimes life must take precedent over blogs:D
Sounds like you've been pretty busy...I hope Lillian's foot gets better soon.
I think everyone has some sort of personal issues that they need to work on, I know I do, but not every one gets around to doing it. Good for you! Keep up the good work!
Hallos! Happy to see you! :-D
I understand the break needs. And don't worry--dealing with le crap-ahj over here too. Just can't really blog about it.
Take care, and Lilly too. xxoo
hey there, welcome back! sure have missed you, but never feel like you have to apologize for an absence. get out there and do what you need to do!
I have lately been good about not buying too much stuff, but I really struggle with trying to get rid of stuff I know I don't need. I will be doing much more of that soon, though.
Stop back by as often as you feel like it! I hope you and Lillian are doing better all the time.
Personally, I get attached to my cyber buds and feel hurt and abandoned when they 'disappear' for no reason. I do prefer Blessed Mama's approach to taking a blogging break but if you're too busy pet sitting to blog, that's all I need to know.
HEYEYEYEYYYY!!!
Rebecca, i know! i feel so guilty, i miss you and feel sucky. ui miss you and you are so nice to talk too.
Maud, hey girl. i like what you said about seeing how little you can get by on. even though im heading in that direction, i think you would be appaled to see how far i still have to go!! i think you are so creative and i bet its due to making yourself utilize what you have on hand. i will let you knmow about any ideas ocd-wise.
Susan, hhahha yep pants in multiples:) what i try to rememebr is that there will ALWAYS be another sale/something i like. actually, my husband has "helped" drill that into me, but im finally on board with that now:) lol
Molly, thanks for lillys well wishes. her one leg will always give her trouble, its an ongoing issue and it flares up easily. poor thing is kinda a mess. cant wait to see what you have been up to friend
Rose, glad you understand, i missed everything over here! hope you and the ratties and kitties are all doing well. and ill be over to see what you have been doing soon!
LM, im glad you understand. part of me would like to get into detail on here, but then, i know that its just all mental stuff that would come out really strange. like a small victory for me is getting rid of soemthing i have been hoarding for five years....like, it soounds so small...lol. ttysoon
Jessica, thank you for the warm welcome back. i miss your blog and all the nice things you write. ill be catching up soon!!
glad you're alive!!
i hear ya on the sporadic blogging...
it's summer..that's what happens
go kick some ocd butt!!!
I am decluttering a lot too. Feels freeing at times, hard other times.
Sorry about Lily's foot. Hope she is on the mend.
I have missed you, too! (And kept thinking I was going to email you to check on you.) But honestly, I've been pretty absent lately, too - and really a lot of bloggers have, it seems. Kick those habits in the tail, and yes, when you do, give us all some advice! :)
I ALWAYS do that, "save" my "good" clothes, then end up never wearing them.
Take care of yourself! AND that duckie.
Hope Lilly's foot is better by now. About accumulation and downsizing — we've been through a lot of downsizing lately because we're moving into a much smaller house. But it's so hard to keep a handle on the accumulation part, especially if you like thrift shops, garage sales and craig's list! We're trying to keep the new little house fairly empty. I'll let you know how that works out.
HEY! I thought I commented, remarked and retorted here. Because YOU WERE GONE A LONG TIME. Glad you came back. Do it again.
Thank you for an insightful and useful post. The web is a better place with you writing!
