I went to my son's football game on Friday and they won. He is a senior at Shikellamy and their team is Braves. We got there a bit more than an hour early just to get seats.
Saturday I was at an event called Breaking Ground Breaking Records hosted by Vic's Pub in Lewisburg, PA. This was for Habitat For Humanity which is their first Signature Event. It was great. We set a record of the biggest sandwich wrap which was 100 feet. I have pictures on Face Book.
I have been trying to get some furniture for my daughter for a while now and finally got a sofa and chair that had nothing wrong with it. I am involved with this site FreeCycle. I went to get it with my daughter last night and while the guy was helping me put it on the roof of my car he was checking me out. He said "see theres no ring". He asked if I was on FaceBook and if I wouldn't mind if he friend me :) Of corse I said I was good with it.
What a physically intensed weekend.

Drunkin White Moms?
I am a subscriber to MomLogic newsletter. They post some amazing topics on this site but this is the first one that offended me personally.
It is of a black women writing of how she feels of some books written by white males and females. I am kinda surprised that it was published actually.

Pleasant Greetings
I want to personally say hello to you and I hope you and your family are doing well on this beautiful summer day. I love warm weather but my favorite season is spring and fall because of the changes that nature presents to us. Its like a new beginning. Also because I like many different things and those seasons have a mixture of colors, shapes, and forms.
I also want to share a bit of me with you as well. I like to do many different things throughout the day I think because of two reasons; one is because I get bored easily and the other is because I get many different ideas for craft things to make. I favor making things out of containers we bring from the store and throw away when they are empty.
I make mini display chairs out of this cardboard packing material that comes in my COTM package. Here is a picture of one. I make these instead of a basket for gift baskets that I put together that I use to donate to different organizations. There was a basket bingo event held for a local school I attended and this picture was my donation. A friend who tagged along with me heard people saying they thought I had bought the chair. :) That made me feel great.
Each time I make one, I am impressed with myself and that makes me feel good because I am somewhat of a self perfectionist. I do not expect perfection from others but I pretty much do of myself, its something from my childhood where there was no time or excuse for mistakes.
I began crafting in like the year 2001 where I was given a portion of a 2 car garage and was able to purchase power tools such as a scroll saw, hand saw, circular saw, drill, and my favorite a high temp hot glue gun. I use to have HGTV on most of the day acting as my radio as I did my daily duties as a wife and mother.
Crafts became my relief from whatever personal things I was going through at that time which was unseen. I am and always have been a strong person who leaned on nobody other than myself. During this time of my life I was in depression but did not know what was happening, I just knew that something was. I never spoke to anyone about it because I could not explain it and I have always been a "mind over matter" type of person.
I did not know what I was dealing with until a few years ago which is when I was pulling out of it. I fully woke up out of it about 2-1/2 years ago and found myself living a life that was not me nor did I want it. But I tried to change my mind for 2 years and couldn't.
Even though I spent the most part of the last ten years emotionally and mentally messed up I learned many things and one is that I am still a strong person as I use to be. I have always helped people and played the mother role since I was born just about until I became a mother. I loved being and still do love being a mother and now a grandmother (Nana).
My blog will have many different topics because I know of many different things. I will never claim to be an expert of any one thing though but I do know I do my best in everything I do.
I will keep this page about me and my life and perhaps you would feel comfortable enough to speak with me.
Thank you,
Marie Huggins (Myers)
