Good news! I'm not dead! :)

Not like I was anywhere close, though. :)

Dearest Bloggers.

I want to tell you about this little notebook that I've started:

[insert picture of book here]

Sorry, that'll have to do for now because I am at work

(when it's been 50 mintues and 43 seconds since your last call and you're off soon anyway, I say it's ok to blog. What else am I going to do? sleep, if blogging didn't keep me awake. bam. :) Don't worry- I don't abuse my internet access unless we are completely dead. like now!)

and I can't bluetooth a picture I could take with my phone of this book to this computer.

(or at least, when I wrote this, I was at work.)

So I'll put it in later. :)

But pretty much, I found this book at the bookstore one day and almost didn't get it.

But then I decided to.

It has a sun on it. :)

Sooooo I bought it. :)

Then I decided to put things that make me SO happy in this book-

anything that makes me smile REALLY BIG. :)

It's the best thing ever!!! I love this!! :)

I don't have much in it now,

but one day,

it's gonna be full,

and Imma have to go buy another book.

One day,

or some days,

it could lift my spirits when I need it,

or just want it. :)

One day,

or some days,

my beautiful kids could stumble upon it and

1: think their mom is crazy. cause I am. and

2: smile just as big as me. :)

but who knows? :)

I have letters/texts/notes in this book,

pictures,

scriptures,

and favorite things in here.

Even some song lyrics on the title page.

I anticipate adding much more.

Maybe some grass and flowers and even dirt or sand or rocks when spring/summer comes.

Maybe I'll even catch some sun inside.

don't doubt my abilities. Do you know who I am? ;)

Maybe I'll take apart a Hallmark card and add sounds into my book.

SWEET!!! I'm doing it. :)

Funny stories.

Songs.

Sweet memories.

I'll paint my lips with lipstick, or maybe even some chalk, or maybe even some real paint and stick my smile straight in there!

But this book will be tangible evidence of the happiness and blessings the Lord has blessed me with.

evidence that

life?

life really is good. :)
