It's really ALL about Me!

Just about  everyone has a blog nowadays. I finally decided that it is time for me to join the craze. What will I write about? Well I am not quite sure just what will come out but I expect I will write about my life, my ups and downs, my thoughts and opinions and perhaps I will share some finds from other blogs. There are always wonderful things out there that people are asking to be shared. My hopes for this blog is that I will become more disciplined about writing and I commit to update it at least twice a week which means that I will need to learn to start taking pictures especially if I am planning on sharing my fur-babies with you all.

A little about me.  I am 44, married to Mutty and sharing a home in the Pacific Northwest with 3 cats and 2 dogs. ( I am sure you will hear about them from time to time.) I work full time as a registered nurse with medically fragile kids.  I am currently on medical leave with a host of issues (you will probably hear about them in the future as well!) In my "down-time" I am an avid reader, multi-tasking crafter, baker, and wannabe writer.  I am an extroverted introvert. I like to be left alone most of the time, and usually am a wall flower. But, get me  in the midst of well known friends and family and I can be pretty boisterous.  

Today is Sunday  and it is a rather nice one.  The skies are blue and cloudy, Currently the sun is out, but being the pac-northwest that means that any minute now the rain might start to fall!  Thank goodness that it has been warm enough though to open up the house. It doesn't seem to matter how much Febreeze I spray when the house is closed up for the winter, it starts to smell rather doggy. Speaking of doggy, Doppler, my youngest, a greyhound /lab mix seems to have taken an affinity to tearing up his couch bed every chance he gets.  When I wake up each morning it is to usually find the couch cushions scattered in the living room amid clumps of stuffing.  I wonder if that Caesar the dog whisperer guy could come and find out why Doppy feels the need to do this?  It isn't like he lacks for toys! From my seat here at the PC I can see 4 tennis balls, 2 kong toys, a ball and a stuffed flea toy!

I enjoy the sunny days.  Sometimes it feels as if they are few and far between.  Even though I am stuck getting around in the wheelchair, I can drag my knitting bag or Kindle outside to relax and catch a few rays.  People in my neck of the woods tend to be a bit deficient in Vitamin D.Maybe that is why the Cullen vamps all sparkled?  At least a rainy day makes for one that I can curl up in my chair and play on the internet. I really should be working on a book that I am writing,  but I can't seem to find the ambition today. What is it about a cloudy Sunday that seems to suck the drive right of a person? Here I have a list of things to do and I can't seem to bend my mind around any of them. So I sent the DH off to his office to play an online RPG  game and I am here with a cuppa tea and chatting with you all.I think this looks like a pretty good first post.  I have covered all the bases, who I am, what I want to do with my blog, how often you will see updates,and I have introduced you to one of my babies.If I achieve nothing else productive today at least I have this!
