Quote of the Date - oh really

What is a woman? I assure you, I do not know...I do not believe that anybody can know until she has expressed herself in all the arts and professions open to human skill.


Virginia Woolf (1882-1941)

Sunday

Well this crazy month is over... I hate July.
Sunday night supper, leftovers... I never have leftover on Sunday... Who gives a damn anyway?

Hurt - STOP!

Hurt - STOP!!!
And I cannot stop the tears. I've lost love and people before... but I'm so conscious of this and it really has no stopping at this time.
Poor darling Heather, the pain she is baring. Do not even try to imagine such!! Prayers and healing thoughts please.
OK, so on with life... why does it take more than 5 fabrics to make a quilt. We are talking sometimes as many as twenty... Crazy, what is this world coming to, NUTS!
Well, I'm off to the kitchen to made Lemon-Lime-Poppy Seed bread for tonight. Friends, Barb and Kay are coming this afternoon. Barb is the beautician and she is cutting our hair.
(Oh I just want to cry again, thinking of all the work and effort Kori put in to become a hair stylist and now she is gone! )
Hurt - STOP!

The pain doesn't stop

OMG, the pain doesn't stop! Sleepless night! Restless days! Just do not know how to endure! Here it is 5 o'clock in the morning and I've already made a double batch of cookies and hoping to get enough energy to clean the dining room. I'd run if I could breath! I'd run around the world just to get rid of this horrible nightmare I'm in. Oh well this has got to be my Hell, there just isn't any other explanation for it.
And now all of sudden, I'm feeling like for some reason, I'm not suppose to claim my granddaughter. What? What the hell is that? And no I didn't not change my name on facebook and whoever said that can go to HELL because they do not know what they are talking about and are talking through the hole at the end of their body!
Yes, I mad, I am mad as hell! I'm also crazy!!!!
So, to start the day off right, here is a quick, easy and delicious recipe for you!
Peanut Butter Cookies
1 Cup of Sugar
1 Egg - slightly beaten
1 Cup of Peanut Butter (chunky if you prefer)
Mix all 3 ingredients together. Drop by teaspoonsful on ungreased cookie sheets and bake 12-15 minutes in a moderate oven 325° F
Quick, and easy and oh so yummy, I just had 2 of them warm from the oven
Kori would have love them.

R.I.P. sweet angel!
Love,
Gram, Mr. Dave, Kerri Pearl and The Rocket

Why is always Yours or Mine Decision

Why is always yours or my decision. As I sit here awake, try to figure out why my 20 year old Granddaughter is lying in a casket and why I feel so hurt and alone and WHY this had to happen, I fully realize it was MINE and only MINE. I started this whole F ing drama. I started the whole thing by MY decision to marry my sons' father. It was MY decision to move to this Hell hole of a town where MY children would grow up and marry and have or not choose to have children.
Their father went along with me because he loved me and thought I knew something. When in fact, I knew and know nothing.
In 1965, he had a wife with a child on the way and wanted to take care of them rather than go to Korea. He wanted to take care of them and didn't think that would happen if he left them alone. So, his wife made the decision. This was a beautiful town and there were lots of jobs, even if it was a hell hole, dark and dreary and full of tragedies every where. Tragedies that were hidden from everyday sight.
If I had not chosen to move here, my son would not have met nor married my granddaughter's mother and my granddaughter would never been born here and would not have died here 20 years later. Nobody to blame but myself for as usual my STUPID decisions. End of story Kori! Oh my God how I love you!

My Beautiful Granddaughter

When I'm sad, you need to know,
That there is a reason I do not glow,
Passing by to and fro,
Just popping in and off I go!
My beloved, taken away too soon, Kori B
Where did you go my beautiful One? I love you so! God speed and fly with the Angels, Light of my Life, Kori.

The New StampinUp! Year began
on July 1, 2011.
With the release of the new 2011/2012 Idea Book and Catalog comes a new hostess plan.  Same great perks for hosting, but now you get to choose whether you want hostess sets, spend all your hostess rewards throughout the catalog or a little of both.  You can still get exclusive hostess sets and at an awesome greatly reduced price with your hostess rewards or just choose to use your hostess rewards on just catalog merchandise or like I've already said, you can spread them out over both.  So this means that hostess dollars have increased.  And to top it all off when your party reaches $400 in sales you get to choose 1 item at half price, $500 party 2 items, $750 party 3 items, $1000+ 4 items.
That new catalog is available at my website at:http://maxine_creates.stampinup.net Where you can shop online 24/7 and receive reduced shipping costs and a special price for ordering from a demonstrator.
So what are you waiting for? Jump into stamping and have some fun!
