It was a good weekend!

I am happy to say that I had a good weekend. It's been a long time since I can actually admit that.

On Saturday I went to the Spring Fling Brunch put on by my ladies group at church. I was asked to show some of my jewellry & talk about my business....and I was going to be interviewed by "Martha Stewart" no less. What an honor! It was a blast. There was so much food we all were stuffed. We laughed and enjoyed each other's company. We listened to the pearls of wisdom as told by Martha. And we were treated to a talk about being a joybringer by a Lady named Jeannie (I"m sorry Jeannie, I can't remember your last name!). Everyone liked the jewellry & I was able to sell some things. Some of the ladies are interested in a class/show, so we'll see how that goes.

I felt so welcome and wanted. I almost started crying because these ladies are so wonderful. I feel so much at home when I'm in their company. I am so grateful to Todd for inviting me to his church.

On Sunday, Jenn & I did our nursery duty at church. That was a lot of fun. Only one little cry for a mom, & once she was there, things were okay. After church, we went & bought an outfit each at Superstore and then off to Mom's for our family get-to-gether. There were lots of us there. Let's see now....see if I can remember who was all there....

Bill, Terry, Maricor, Ben, Sam, Verona, Brenda, Jacquie, (her boyfriend Marshall), Sara
Ed, Brett, Val, Daniel, Nicholas, Jack
Cliff, Larry
Mom, Dad, Cathe, Brook, Jennifer, Peter Nick, Pat
Michelle, Jason, Trish, Katelyn, Madison, Jamie, Jody, Colby, Karl & Bob

Whew! 36 of us Bottyans! I had such a wonderful time talking to everyone...specially Val & Brett. They are so much fun to be with.

I know somewhere up in heaven, Nana, Papa, George, & Mary were all with us. How Papa would have had so much fun talking to all his family. Mary would have been in her element. She loved having her family around her...welll as did Nana & George. I miss George & I miss cracking jokes with him.

I am so happy this weekend was a good one. I have so few of them these days. I am praying for more!

I Got Drunk!

I don't drink anymore, so imagine my suprize when I found myself falling down drunk last night.
I was feeling a little uptight about some personal family matters & there just happened to be some beer in the fridge. One led to another & before I knew it...in the space of 90 minutes, I'd downed 6 beer. One minute I was fine, the next minute I was falling down drunk & BOOM....I was out.

So needless to say, I'm not feeling very well today. I did manage to get out for a bike ride which was good. I'm determined to lose weight & tone up, so I was happy that I got some exercise. I still feel crappy though.

I'm not impressed with myself for turning to booze for my troubles. I've done that in the past & found out the hard way it doesn't work. I thought I learned my lesson well, but I do believe I might have to rethink that position. At the very least, I have to be more aware of what's going on in my life & be more pro-active about getting better. Gee I wonder if this is a sign from up above....a little nudge or a "HEY YOU down there...what do you think you're doing?" Bears some thought!

Sooooo that's about it then!
