3:54

It’s 3:54am and I am awake. Sadly that is nothing new for me. But using my time productively is. I’ve applied for 3 jobs and I’ve e-mailed old and new friends, and I have made a plan to try another new adventure.
Let me address my first new adventure…this Blog. Although I have not been writing about my daily adventure I have still been living it. I have gone to different states, met new people and tried all different types of food. I can now cook at least one dish from 9 different countries! Pretty cool, if you ask me. I am still tentative about making a Key lime non-dairy Cheesecake. But give my time I will make it before I turn 40.
So, let me cover some of the high lights ya’ll have missed. I was a dad at a Daddy-Daughter dance. It was actually fun, and some of the dad’s even checked me out! I have now met my nephew’s fiancé, he’s 6 and she’s 9. But you can tell its love for her, or at least desire. He has a DS game and she gets to use it. The relationship is a match made in heaven. I’ve been in the hospital, more to come on that later. The trip deserves its own blog! I’ve painted an art piece that actually looks hang-able. I submitted my children’s curriculum to a publisher. I’m in the middle of building a new fence and every day there is something new to learn or do. I got a new car. I’ve decorated the new car. I have crawled under my house looking for critters-No, I did not eat said critter. I have a new dog. Her name is Mookie and again, more will come of her in later posts. I had a friend sell her first book. Yeah Elissa! I had my computer stolen. I redid my resume. And I took time to put me and my health first. That is probably the best First I could have ever tried.
So now onto the new adventure…I will be submitting 10 greeting cards for consideration by the end of this week. I’ve finally come to the conclusion that a rejection is better than not trying. And the worst thing that could happen is I wasted 96 hours doing a creative project that brought me joy. The best-They like them! I send at least 2 cards a month, and I buy at least 5 cards a month, so I should at least be able to come up with one card that other people want to buy! I have already come up with 4 pages of one liners. Narrowing them down to 10 workable ideas should be no problem! Right!!!! But I’m gonna try and that is all that matters.
Well, gonna go try to get a few hours of sleep-
I love you all-
