GROWING PAINS!!!!!

where the heck did all those photos come from and how the heck do I get rid of them...Yikes!

the west coast is awake...

Well...it's going to take a little discipline to wake up, drink a quick cup of coffee and start writing!!

This is after years of leisurely sipping my cappuccino, looking out the window at the bird feeder,stroking the cats and taking my time getting it together(or not!)...

I have always said I wanted to be a writer, and this is what writers do(well at least

that is what they do in books and in the movies...so bear with me as I stumble

and fumble along...My actual work is on my own time..when I am at home,I can take my time.

When I go to England to shop, the antique fairs are always a long drive away... usually it is raining or worse...You are jarred awake by a horrid sounding hotel alarm clock, you fall out of bed,tired from tossing and turning all night(in fear that the alarm won't go off) fall out of bed , pull on the same dirty jeans you wore for the last week, all for the chance at the prize...a thrill like no other, running through wet damp fields to get to the gate and when they open up,charging in like a herd of crazed animals , all for the promising possibility to get at that box first, to see that faded Liberty print curtain panel just as it is pulled out of the back of the dealers truck...or not...

Stumbling along, alone...

Stumbling Along,Alone...

Well I finally found my way back here!! I couldn' find my own blog.. What a start! ..This is a journey of a

beginning computer owner (this is where the late bloomer aspect comes in) trying

to catch up with what everyone was doing 15 years ago...We resisted for a long

time( our insecurities I guess) but when you want to move along in this world

you must change with it and sometimes the old fashion ways no longer work...

So watch as I move forward..My goal is an up and running blog that features my

work as a jeweler ,buying trips, pretty pictures and the ups and downs of a woman

way past the edge of seventeen,as she navigates her way,living her life and trying to grow and

posper(and learning to spell)...With loving thanks to Tongue in Cheek...

entering uncharted territory can always be a daunting task...

I wonder to myself can I do it, could I and if I can what is it

that I want to say...Perhaps when its written down it becomes

more real and gives one a better opportunity to ponder what

is going on in ones head...the journey begins
