I found this....

The last 2 days have been spent "cleaning" my desk. This is a task that I hate because it ends up being a time of "what do I do with that" and "why did I save that" instead of a time of "keep" and "pitch."

Anyway, I have a habit of writing lists in a notebook and then turning to the next page. I have been tearing out old pages full of lists, some completed, some never attempted. I found poetry in the middle of a notebook. I hardly remember writing it and I definitely do not know what I was thinking about! I want to share...

I want to grow
You treat me like a child.

I want to learn
You treat me like a child.

I want to lead
to sing
to follow.

What makes me a child to you?
Singleness-not a child
Live with my parents - not a child
Temporary work -- not a child

I AM a child of God.
I AM His to use.

Please see me for WHO I AM -
not for who I was.

It's been about a year; that seems about right!

Well, it has been about 11 months since my last post. Anyone miss me?

I will admit that the computer has taken a back seat to my fiance, his son, MySpace and Facebook. I have to be honest! :)

Many events have transpired over the year. My last post was about canning. I am doing that - peppers, soup, freezing beans, peas, zucchini. I'm over zucchini bread, that's for sure. Today, I picked the last of the green and yellow beans and pulled the plants. Of course, I planted more seeds about 3-4 weeks ago so I'll have more in a few weeks.

School starts in 13 days. I can't wait.

We are getting married in 46 days, I think. (I'm not a math teacher!)

I wish I had more money because I really don't know how we'll pay for everything that we've ordered!

I am going to see if I can remember how to post a picture. If no one comments on my post, I'll know that no one is reading my blog....
