I took pictures today...

Of my nephews. My sister in law has been asking me to take photographs of the boys and I have been putting her off. I was just so nervous that they would all be screwy and disappointing.

After talking with her today, she said, "Wow, you are a perfectionist, I had no idea!" Yeah, I am. It sucks. It is like this horrible crippling thing. I mean, I never even sold soap until Emerald got me into it, by showing and telling it at her school, and then suddenly, I was selling soap. She helped me at my first craft show, she encouraged me to do more, she got mad when she was sick and I wasn't going to do one... so I did one that year. And this year, I did one, in her honor.

It is so hard when I relied on her to help me. Not just physically. She was also my biggest cheerleader. I remember the day I had her and how I knew I needed no one else, besides her and me to get through this life. I just *knew* it, the second that I saw her. I left the hospital a changed woman.

Now when I try something new, I spend a lot of time avoiding before I actually put myself out there. Well, so I told my sister in law to make me make a date, and I will follow through. Without the date, I won't do anything.. LOL



I feel like I accomplished something today.

I got a new mini van yesterday. Not new, but new to me. :D I am pretty happy about it. We needed one now, for a very long time.

I hope you all have a good weekend.

Kathleen, I love your posts.
