Hi Everyone

Is anyone watching the Winter Olympics? My favorite has been seeing Apollo skate and the various snow boarders....

Have been busy doing different things and projects lately. I feel like life is slowing a little for me so that I have time to reconnect with others that I haven't talked to in forever!!

My step dad is still going through the chemo and radiation like a trooper. With my mother by his side supporting him, I think he is stronger.

I have been drinking a ton of green tea lately, I love it because it really does take away my appetite. I love that...I wish I could live off of liquids sometimes....

My kids play Fable 2 constantly and are looking forward to Fable 3. Don't really know why, but if they like it the hey..whatever.

I recently started taking Xanax...it helps to keep me calm and focused. It has really helped so much and I am going to ask the doctor for a higher dose than .5mg the next time I see him. I mean, that seems like such a low dose, plus I feel like I need more. I want to be so freakin' mellow that I am smiling at strangers again.

Lately I have been on a super cleaning streak. I don't know if that has to do with the medicine or just feeling really like organizing. I cleaned the girls room and took out 2 big bags of crap to throw away. They didn't even notice things that were missing! Like.....duah girls.

Something that I have been into recently is scrapbooking. I did it at one time and have just lately picked up the craft again. I can't wait to show what I have been working on. Also, making paper flowers. They sound really cheesy but come out beautifully.

How is everyone? Let me know, please.

Sarah

Hi Sarah!

Nice post..I can't wait to see your scrapbooking..I'd love to do it to, but I haven't had time yet.

Your step father is in my prayers, I am so glad he is being brave..radiation sucks.

With moving I have thrown out a bunch of junk too, I doubt the kids will ever notice..

I am still playing Overlord..I so love it..I tried Fable 2 but couldn't get into it myself.

Glad you found the time to reconnect, I've missed you on here.

I have tickets to short track today and will try to get a picture of Ohno for you!

I've mainly been watching the curling, but I did see Shaun White win the half-pipe.

I have a friend who used to do purple Xanax all the time, and go out drinking! I don't know how she did it!

Stick with the .5mg for a while, we don't want you drooling in your scrapbook!

I've been bad, not watching much of the Olympics.

Glad you are feeling mellow and getting a lot done.

You go girl!

I'm glad your stepdad is doing ok. I hope he's cancer free soon

I've fallen off of scrapbooking in the past few months. I used to scrap all the time but lately I just don't feel motivated to do anything. I have plenty to do and the pile of photos grows. Someday I'll get to it! We must see your flowers, I may want to steal your idea.

I'm watching some of the Olympics, but very limited. My favourite is curling. Especially given Norway's awesome pants.

Hey Sarah, glad to see you are still out there.

I will keep your step dad in my prayers.

Glad the meds are helping, we all need something every now and then.

I haven't watched too much Olympics, a little bobsled but that was about it. Watched mostly college basketball today.

I'm glad you're keeping busy!

I've been going through massive cleaning spurts lately, myself. I think it's because my body knows that spring is on the way, and I have always loved Spring Cleaning.

I'm happy you're enjoying scrapbooking! Sunny has a lot of fun with that, too. That's something you guys have in common!

I'm doing a colage of past,present,on all the family pics,on my coffee table then I will put lots of layers of polyurathane on it to preserve it.

You're step-dad is a heck of a trooper! I wish you guys all the best.

I love green tea! There are some really tasty ones out there.

White tea is really good as well.

I'm not so fond of Fable 2 as I was of the original Fable. Hopefully the third is better.

I love seeing what people scrapbook, but I'm not a scrapbooker myself. I never could get into it. It's a pity because there are some really awesome things that you can do!
