[flickr id=”6179693357″ thumbnail=”small” overlay=”true” size=”small” group=”” align=”left”] *This morning I met with some wonderful ladies for a mini-conference w/ a talk given by the ever-internet-savvy Heather. It was a good time, I learned a lot, and it woke up something that I’d been thinking about for over a year now.  I have two blogs – and for a scatterbrain like myself it wasn’t working. I feel pressured to come up with twice the posts and then I don’t post at all.  So I’ve made the decision to somehow combine my writing blog (Sadie’s Storylines) into this one.  It’s not a clean mesh by any means – which is what has kept me from doing it for so long – but it’s a necessary one.  After all, my photography is here – why can’t my writing?

*I have been super-stressed in recent weeks.  Many crazy things have happened health-wise and personal-wise that I’ve been feeling awful overwhelmed.  Worst part is a current health-crisis with the hubby (although he’ll not be thrilled that I call it a ‘crisis’).  It’s serious and scary and worst part is we still don’t know what’s going on.  He’s having a procedure in a couple of days and we’re hoping that brings us answers and resolution in the coming months.

*In the next couple of days we’ll be a house full of eye-correction. There will be a forthcoming blog post w/ the cuteness of my girls in their new glasses.

*The teen has been on the roller coaster ride of teen hormones and girls.  This is also inspiring another blog post to be forthcoming.

*Expect some dust as I attend to the first item mentioned on this list – combining my blog.  This will require some redesign and some conflicting posts.  i’ve already transferred over all of my posts from the writing blog – now I just need to organize and clean this place up a bit (this will likely involve a new look of sorts – but nothing drastically different as i just ordered business cards)

*Just 2.5 weeks until I go to Bloggy Boot Camp.  Checking 2 things off my 45X45 (Blog conference & vacay w/ the hubby) in one fell swoop. After failing to get excited about it in the recent chaos, I’m starting to get giggly and eager.

*While there i’m totally going to have a nerd-gasm and go to the Star Trek Exhibit w/ my hubs (thanks Groupon for alerting me to its presence in St. Louis).  It’s geek-heaven.

*Gorgeous weather is leading toward lots of line-drying of clothes. Oh how I love this time of year 🙂

*I recently totally reorganized the hubbies DVD’s. Picture proof coming soon – HUGE and refreshing change.

*I got a new (to us) car. I have to say that despite its age – it is hands down the nicest car we have ever owned (and we have owned a LOT of cars in our 10 year marriage). It makes me very happy. More on that coming soon too 🙂

That’s it for now. Just got the call from Wal-Mart – glasses have come in!
