a journey of self discovery. You just never know what we might see. Is that a fairy ring under that rowan tree? Look! - a hedgewitch, I wonder what she is brewing in her cauldron today. Oh, and look at that poor menopausal soul, she needs our love & understanding. We may take a stop at the creativity school or a wander through the garden. And maybe, we will take the time machine back to the past! But wherever we go, we will always take time to stop for tea.

REWIND groundhog-day style - my life today in a nutshell

I came home from the hospital today and felt so bad about my post where I complained again about the comment thing again that I decided to rewind and tackle it all again. I feel selfish. I am not even going to blame my inner child although I feel the way I behave sometimes is very childish, very. I slapped myself up the back of the head and told myself to wake up. I treasure each of your friendships, I really do. And I would not blame you one bit if you told me to pull my head in sometimes. But I am a fretter.
so I rewind my day and try to get it right this time:

* my fruit is still soaking in brandy for my first fruitcake to be made this Saturday and I am still far behind. Usually by this time, I have two made and another one soaking.

*I am still confused as to what swaps I am in for Christmas. Thanks to some of my girlfriends emailing me and sorting it all out, I have organised myself a little better. I have had fun starting some Christmas items for the SOSF and the glitter gals swap - I received the details for those two yesterday. I really wanted to do a Christmas art dollie swap, but I guess there is not enough time to organize that. ahh well, next year. and I have joined Peggy's Christmas stocking swap

*I tried to merge my favourite blog lists and lost them - so forgive me if I am not visiting lately. I will get by sometime this week via comments left previously - found them! when I was 'organising' my favourites, I accidently dragged the whole Blog favourites file and inserted it into another folder! Now I have sorted it all out, I think

* how on earth can I complain about comments when each of you take the time to visit, when you can. I am so, so sorry for any anguish that I caused any of you for stamping my feet and complaining once again. Here I am complaining about the comments - thinking each of you are sitting at home, just waiting for me to post & not even thinking myself that maybe some of you have things going on in your life or you are busy or, well - you get my drift - and sometimes I even do the same - visit and not comment - I am the proverbial pot calling the kettle black. and I truly am sorry - xox

*nothing has changed here: I cannot for the life of me work out why I can't stay logged into Rosa's blog - I can sometimes, but then next time I visit, I get the boot. It takes me ages to even try to get to sweet Pea's blog and Carol's blog - well no way, it can sometimes take 10 mins to load (sorry girls, that is why I haven't been to comment). I have broadband internet access so I don't have a clue as to why I can't access these blogs

Beta blogger is still driving me to drink - I have a comment all ready to go, then I have to sign in, so I do then I find my comment has disappeared - but I will remember to copy & paste before I hit the publish button

* Joe is home from having his procedure done at hospital and EVERYTHING IS OK! I am so, so relieved
I went arty shopping today - and spent way too much on bits n pieces for my Christmas arty swaps! ooh the glitter gals would love what I bought - I bought glitter tuille & some gorgeous sequins. I bought braids and bells and I bought the most gorgeous piece of glittery fabric for my Christmas tablecloth!

~ so friends - that is my life in a nutshell as it WAS today

Hi there, came by your blog via Lupin, in Cumbria, UK, just a few miles away from us here in Yorkshire.

Anyhow I am glad I did, cos you sounded as though you were not having a good day!

So hello from me, and hugs from UK!

I feel like I missed a day or something. I know I checked here several times yesterday and the last thing I saw was Monday Musings so I missed the comment thing and that Joe was having a procedure. I'm glad he's home and feeling better. I know you must be so relieved.

I apologize if I am guilty of sometimes reading and not commenting. Some times I comment and think it sounds so lame that I delete it and go to the next blog...then I actually think I've commented. lol I'm often surprised to go back to a post (on other blogs, too) and find that I haven't commented at all.Or sometimes I have time to read real quick and think I'll come back to comment...and of course..don't..at any rate...whenever I don't comment just know that at home I am looking at your blog and thinking.."Oh that Miss Robyn, I just lurve!!!! her." hehe coz that's what I'll be thinking.

Now..see? I almost deleted that and was thinking I'd come back later and write something less sappy and lame but I stopped myself. So here it is. lol

I think I need more coffee. See ya later. Thank you thank you for the beautiful card.

I feel the same way as Lisa does Robyn, but I'm glad to read that your soul mate is back home and okay!

Oh my how on earth could I have missed out on the glittery swap?
This sounds like so much fun, hopefully there'll be another one of this too next year!

It really bugs me, that it still takes you so long to open my blog, even with broadband boohoo :(, I wish I could somehow solve this problem. I have changed the settings so that I now have only 5 days posts on the first page and some people told me that my blog is loading much faster now.

Still thank you for trying! xox

P.S. Oh and I now all about disapearing posts, double posts etc., you're not alone!

I love the idea of a glitter swap.
I have just taken part in a swap on a forum here in Uk...The Potting Shed.

Could I join in if you organise another one?

Thanks

So pleased to hear everything is absolutely fine with Joe, that should help you concentrate on Christmas better. Me too, I am way behind in the Christmas cake stakes, oh well there is this weekend I shall not stress I shall just say 'better late than never'. Also did some glittery shopping today.

When you mentioned Joe's procedure, I felt very calm, and that's how I knew he would be fine.

in my email to you I didn't tell you how glad I am that everything is ok with Joe. Wow, you are ready for the Christmas swaps indeed! They are only in my head right now!

Robyn I sometimes quickly read who and what I can....just popping in and out like a bad houseguest....without thanking you for your great blog. Some blogs have so many comments that I think they won't miss my lame comment! Or I will start something and it won't go through. You have to have real patience to deal with beta....I haven't changed over yet... and yesterday I was forbidden to get to my own blog for some time...go figure...They are forcing us over to the other side. Plus I despise the stupid pop up security box, it takes more time to post comments! Glad that Joe is doing well. I wonder if some of your blog was missing for a bit....I never got any of the posting about Joe procedure, or how you felt about the comments! Take care! Sometimes I have to read a few days at once…..I know you understand that!

Just to help you out on Rosa's...I used to have the same problem till I added Mozzilla Firefox...I also use Internet Explorer but for Rosa and sometimes Pea's I have to go over to Mozzilla...it works a charm I'm tellin' ye!!
Have a better day Miss*Robin!!
:-D
PS...you aren't the only one that gets freaky over comments...I've been wondering lately what I've done to offend...I've come to the conclusion that comments come in waves, sometimes more, sometimes less...try not to worry yourself, listen to me the worlds biggest worry wart?? HeHe!!

I don't know how you keep anything straight. How can you keep up with all that swapping? Wow.
I am glad your Joe is allright too.

Robyn, we all rant sometimes. You are only human. I was offline for a few days and missed it all but don't worry. You are so loved.

What have I missed here!! So much has happened..Your Joe in hospital..Oh dear I am relieved to hear all is well!Blogger and posting and losing and stuff..well we all hear you as we too have experienced this frustration..but it's a FREE service so I can't complaing too much!
Life does get in our way at times to do some enjoyable things but all in all the dust settles and we can get around to our regular delights like taking time to visit blogs! I know at this time with caring for my mum free time is a luxury and I must prioritize activities!hugs NG
