I am finally back! Computer problems, a lost password and a bad internet connection has kept me away, but I am I found my way back to you all!
Things are great with my daughter. Well, maybe not great, cuz, as a 22 year old, she knows everything, but we are getting along, hanging out now and again, and things seem pretty much back to normal.
She did come home for Mothers Day, and which was all that I really wanted. I did get a supper out of it, too, with the 4 kids pitching in. That was an added bonus.
I can`t believe that the summer is long gone and Halloween is almost here. Hubby and I are invited to a party, but the task of finding a costume and dressing up feels daunting to me. It has been years since we have done anything like that. Mind you, I could use an excuse to have fun and be silly.
This economy and the lack of a pc has hit me where it hurts most. I do work from home, just part time to help out with the bills. Lately, I am getting paid in trade instead of cold hard cash. While I love the idea of a beautiful new necklace for moi, I would be much happier to get paid in good old fashioned dollars to pay the bills. Hubby encourages me to keep going though. Last year I got paid in merchandise for some work that I did and we gave it to our daughter for her birthday. She was thrilled and I was happy to contribute, but I still wish that I made real money, currency, ya know?
This all makes me think of the holidays, that seem to sneak up on me the minute that I blow out the candle on the pumpkin. I am usually half way done my shopping by now (no, seriously, I usually am) but this year, not so much.
So..thatès about all from me. You would think that I would have more to say after being gone so long, but I think that instead of blabbing on and on I will get caught up with some friends.

I'm so glad things have evened out with you and your daughter!
As for currency - oh yes, that would be very useful to you...maybe you could sell some of the stuff you get paid with? I work full time and so does The Stud but I dunno where the money goes....
Both our daughters have been invited to Halloween parties this Saturday, I am surprised because Halloween isn't really a Kiwi thing at all but now some retail outlets have decided it IS a kiwi thing so everyone wants to have a party!
The Stud and I will probably go out and watch our rugby team on TV (they are playing in Tokyo) to fill in the time from drop-off to pick-ups at the kids parties! Such is life, you should now go and enjoy your party on my behalf. :-)
I was just thinking looking for a buyer for my newest bauble. It isn't worth much, but it is a very unique piece and the holidays are coming, so you never know.
We missed the party - just too much going on right now and we were too tired. It would have been fun to dress up and hang with friends though.
When my Hubby's family first came here (to Canada) from Europe, their fisr Halloween mystified them. They thought that the kids were hungry and it was some sort of food drive. The kids all got bananas, cups of rice, and potatoes. Lol. There should be a hand book that explains weird customs to newcomers.
