I haven't been around here much lately. It's nice to hear from some of you again. Viive! Long time, no see. Michelle, congrats on finding your soul mate. I actually found a very nice kilt wearing Canadian (Toronto) lad last summer through an online dating service. He is currently living in Scotland, indefinitely, but we keep in touch via email. Will also spare details of the bizarre and strange dating sitiuations I've endured over the last year or so...though it would make a great book. I think some of us should compile a book of dating horror stories. We could set it up on Martina's website!
Otherwise, things have been so so....on the up side...I paid off all of my personal debt (with the exception of the house payment and a tiny balance at Victoria's Secret!). On the downside, work and my business is very slow, my pay has been cut and it looks like I may not have a job for much longer. I've also been dealing with miscellaneous irritating medical problems. Allergies, sinus problems,etc. I spoke to a specialist tuesday and am now contemplating whether or not I want to have surgery on my deviated septum, to help me breathe clearer. He said I would have a 50% improvement in my breathing if I have it done. I'm terrified of anasthesia though, so if anything keeps me from doing it....that will be it!
Ryan is doing well, soccer has started back up for spring. His team isn't doing well but he is still having fun playing.
I went to a Soapmakers Conference recently and that was fun. I learned a few new techniques and picked up a few new recipes.
Other than that, not much else is happening.
Great to see everyone.
Hugs

[> Colly, I don't know if anyone has suggested this or not, but I have a rosemary bush and when my head is really bad I snap off a leaf or two and crush them between my fingers and inhale. That clears me out pretty well. Maybe you have some rosemary oils for your soaps and have tried that already. Anyway, I sympathize, I was fighting another earache/headache from Hell today. Hugs to you! -- beccabee, 23:25:29 05/05/04 Wed

[> [> Thanks for the suggestion beccabee. I love the smell of rosemary (though I can't keep a rosemary plant alive to save my life) and I do have a bottle of the oil. I use that or eucalyptus or peppermint when my sinuses get really terrible. -- Colly, 16:53:21 05/06/04 Thu
