A jumble of thoughts...sorry if it doesn't flow smoothly or make a lot of sense

It has been awhile since I last posted something. This is for a few reasons. First, I have barely been on the computer in the past little while – the upstairs one that holds our pictures, so I cannot add pictures to the posts that I wanted to write. I am a little frustrated with this computer as every time I am on it, this “autoplay” window keeps popping up – so annoying as it stops whatever I am doing and I have to clock on the window or page to get back to typing. Anyone know what that is about, let me know!
Secondly, I am getting out and getting exercise, which I am loving! R and I have been taking a walk most days. It has been so beautiful here, and I love the smells of summer and the cool breeze in the morning. While R sleeps I have been doing housework, and catching a nap every once in a while.
Last night I had an awful sleep. I have also been watching “Roswell” on DVD from www.zip.ca which we are a part of. I am a little hooked on this series… I know, I am a sci-fi geek!... I had previously watched the first season and the third, but never the second, so now I am on the second and was up a little later last night watching it. I found my mind wouldn't shut off, and then it was hot in our room and my allergies (hay fever) have started acting up in the past week, so that was bugging me too. It was not a pretty night. DH and I were both up from 4-5, then he just got up, I fell asleep finally.
It seems as though I have been thinking non-stop for the past two weeks. There are a lot of things on my mind. I went to the Girlfriends retreat with our church 2 weeks ago, the theme of our session (yes, only one session on the weekend... it was good) was Self-Worth. I realised once again that mine is not very high. I tend to put a little too much stock in what others think, or should I say, what I perceive others think. And I started thinking about this and talked with both K and A from my mom's group on Saturday about it. I feel so blessed by these ladies, and am thankful to God for them. I never feel like they are judging me and I have told both of them that.
Here are some photos from the weekend. I didn't get too many, but hey...Here is the group of ladies that I was sitting with for our "spa evening". We were walked through doing manicures on ourselves. From Left to Right we have B, A, K and myself.
This is my feet after my pedicure. It was a good one, though I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as I would've liked as I got a migraine an hour before it. (Gotta love the sandal tan, hey! My legs won't tan, but my feet sure do, how fair is that! :)
That was all the pictures I got, well, I actually got a really funny one of K, but I thought she wouldn't appreciate my putting it on here. :)
So, after I got home from my weekend away, I had a little bit to think about and I have been, but I haven't felt at all about blogging about it. I have been going back and forth about it, because I told myself that I would always be open and honest here and would use it as kind of a journal, but how open do you want to be with anyone who could read this? I do not mind about my family or close friends, but people rarely comment on my blog, so I have no idea who actually reads it. I am curious as to who I am all opening my life to and sharing it with. The purpose originally was to chronicle my journey and to also connect with other people and I am wondering if I am doing either. I guess it is time for some reflection and renewal of the vision, and purpose (ha, DH, just had to throw that in there - seemed appropriate! :) of this blog.
I have seen on other people's blogs a request that anyone who is reading the blog please leave a comment. I would like to do this, so please, leave a comment for me. I would like to know 4 things:
1. your name or online nickname
2. how you got to the blog
3. where approximately you are from
4. how long you have been reading
Please, even those of you who I know read it comment. You can post under anonymous if you do not have a gmail or blogger account.
Thank you everyone. This will help me figure some things out.
