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
