A Much-Needed Nap

What would you do with 5 hours stretched out ahead of you on a hazy, hot Sunday afternoon? Go for a swim? A walk? Hole up in your air-conditioned house and nap for 4.5 hours?

Yeah, that last one would be me.

I've been very PMSy, crampy, hot flashes at night (although that could be the weather), bitchy, etc. etc. all the signs of the usual visit from Aunt Flo, including a craving for a salty-sweet Hawaiian pizza tonight (ham and pineapple, yum). Yet, nothing. And a long, long nap today. So, who knows what's going on. I'm not holding out any hope for being pregnant again, not after last fall. But there's always a little part of you that wants to hope. And a long nap in the middle of the day kinda of puts you there.

Anyway.

I'm up late, thanks to that nap, chatting with some Close To My Heart gals, those of us not going to convention this week. In Vegas. At the Mirage. Sob! I love the Mirage.

Went to a Stampin' Up workshop with Lisa on Saturday. A "retirement" party, so we could order the last of the retiring stamps and papers, with a very nice discount. I'd never been to one of Tina's workshops before; she's got quite the space. And I finally attempted the much-touted "shaving cream" technique. Sounds funny, doesn't it? A little stinky, but fun.

The swirled background is "shaving cream technique." The butterfly has glitter on it, too. Very pretty card.

Reading Anne Quindlen's commencement speech from 1999. Does anyone remember their HS or college commence speech? Me neither. This is a good one.
