Thoughts

I'm really struggling with this blog. LOL I have a lot of thoughts that run through my mind constantly all day, but when it comes to putting them out there for someone else to read, I clam up. I took a personality test in college and found out that I am an extreme introvert. I had very few things in the extrovert category. Do I keep people at arms length? Or do I welcome people in to get to know them, but don't want them to get to know me? I guess I've always had a hard time with letting people inside my head. Sometimes I'm not sure if anyone really knows me because I keep so much in. It's just like my scrapbooking. I love to scrapbook, but I have a hard time with journaling. I can journal generally about an event...why we were there, what we did, but when it comes to my personal thoughts on something, that's very hard for me to put that out there. I'm going to try to get better at that.

crazy week

What a crazy week! At work we're getting ready for inventory and I work in the inventory department. Inventory will be next week. Thank God! And then all the craziness will be over.

I had to have surgery on my thumb on the 23rd of December. It was a complication from my motorcycle wreck I guess you could say. LOL Anyway, I had a pin sticking out of my thumb to help hold everything in place. Well, it got infected over the weekend. I called the DR on Monday and told him what was going on with it. He wanted me to have the pin removed because of the infection. He told me to call the Dr that referred me up there to him to see if he would remove it for me. That DR wouldn't remove it. I called our local minor emergency clinic and they wouldn't remove it either, so I had to drive to the city Monday when I got off work to have it removed. I was in and out in literally 5 minutes. DR's in Ardmore suck.

The next thing doesn't involve me, but how crazy. A woman I work with...we'll call her T for privacy sake, hit a man walking down the interstate this morning! He was walking down the middle of the interstate at 5 in the freakin' morning! She swerved in front of a semi and slammed on her brakes trying to keep from hitting the guy. She felt her truck hit him though. She was hysterical because she just knew that she had just killed someone. Long story short, she clipped him with her side mirror and just messed up his elbow a little bit. While she was sitting on the side of the road trying to collect herself, he walked up to her truck and told her he was okay! I know you couldn't do it,but I would be tempted to sue him for mental anguish or something. Can you imagine what you would feel like thinking that you had just killed someone?? I felt so sorry for her. I can't imagine what that would be like. She said here everyone at work has been worried about hitting deer or hogs and she has to worry about hitting a person!

Anyway, that's it for my crazy week so far. Hope nothing else happens tomorrow.

First Blog

Okay, don't know what I'm doing here, so you will just have to bear with me! LOL For those who don't know me, my name is Danette. I'm 36....pushing 40 real hard. That makes me feel so old to say that.

I've been married for almost 8 years now. I have a 15 year old daughter. She is a very good girl. She left her yahoo messenger connected and I got on the computer and got to being nosy with her stuff and I couldn't find anything. I'm so happy about that!

I have been a scrapbooker for...(counting)....5 years I think. I've been a close to my heart consultant now for 3 years. I just love their stuff. They make it so easy to scrapbook. Everything coordinates so beautifully and they have stuff for every skill level.

Like I said, I'm new to all of this, so be patient with me while I figure everything out.
