It is to cute - would so love that! It is too sweet - somes me up completely! and Jims wisdom is something I could listen to if I was not speaking to much!
They're good reminders not to take all things terribly bad.
While I don't know what the trigger for posting this was, and therefore could have put my foot deep down in my throat and not only my mouth I think this proves your good disposition and that you are able to put things in perspective.
Love the dragon chart Mel. You have the "undo what you did" chart from Susan Saltzgiver too, don't you? I have a chart I need to stitch one day that says "Don't take life too seriously, it isn't permanent." I need that reminder every once in a while.
I keep telling people who think the world is going under when a deadline can't be held up that this good old earth will keep revolving long after the last one of us is gone. Puts everything in relation when you start talking billions of years, LOL!
As you've probably guessed I haven't had a good time lately on either the work or home fronts :)
Work is mostly sorted out now. Some judicious juggling at an all manager's meeting got a few points out in the open and some role clarification which should help.
I'm actually looking forward to going back to work tomorrow.
On the home front, long distance relationships have an added element of difficulty due to simply not having that physical contact - being able to view body language and hug when discussing issues.
Some wise advice and financial assistance from my Dad and I've been in Perth all weekend :) Mr N T Bears and I have talked and listened and a lot of issues have been sorted and laid to rest. Some are not that simple but time will help.
I'm feeling much more relaxed and happier than I've been in quite a few weeks.
Either that or its the post make-up sex endorphins still running through me. Damn he's good!
I still think I'll stitch draggie up to remind me though :)
Long distance does add another element to deal with, but it can be done!!! As long as you are both willing to work at it...just like anything else. DH and I dated 7 months long distance after knowing each other for only 4 with face to face contact. We're headed into year 13 early next year. Just keep talking to each other and things have a way of working out!!
Well, I'm glad to read that things are smoother now - I hope the work situation is better for you now that you've had the discussion. And you & Mr. Bear just need to keep talking stuff out - it's difficult, but you've done difficult before and come out the other side :) If it was easy, it wouldn't be worth doing....
LOL at the pouting. Definitely very glad to hear that things are better on both fronts. Seems to have been the week for some of those sorts of things, to be sure.
And a second to Karen's "keep talking" - it's amazing how much really can get sorted out just by some heart-to-heart conversation when both parties are willing to work at things.
There are so many conversations that are *easier* to have in person. Not everything has to be verbalized and you can tell from posture and the look in their eyes exactly how much certain things mean to them, even when their voice is calm.
Ah we will get there :)
As to work - well I'll find out about that very shortly - will doubtlessly get comments for calling in sick yesterday :)
Hope lifeis better this week. Seems everyone has already said the most important things (how come I missed this item) but DO keep talking. Communication whether it be near or far is the most important part of a relationship (says she whose ex NEVER talked and sometimes for as long as a month).
Mikes not well (got some type of bug with a runny bum) and I've just been busy. Made Xmas puds, cakes etc. and been getting some exchanges out of the way.
Off Thursday to try and do some Xmas shopping but heaven knows what I'm getting. Not really got too much enthusiasm at the moment.
Ever had weeks where you wish you could redo parts of them?

A wise man once said you have two ears and one mouth, use them in similar proportion.
Thank you my sweet - I shall remember that :)
Jim, the sage, hath spake.
Is that actually a chart??
It's cute..I need it.

It's rarely too late to undo whatever unwise things you may have done. Groveling goes a long way!
Hope things will end up better than you seem to think they will.

Heading offline for probably the rest of the weekend.
Catch you all later.
That AND Tempest in a Tea Cup, sweetie!

Yes, I think you should stitch this up!

That one's lovely, too!

Sounds similar to my week, Mel - lots of hugs right back atcha!
oh yeah - better stitch that one up too :)
Ooh details please? When, where, who's the designer? What does the chart look like?

In all seriousness - that is the frustrating bit.

Because then EVERYONE would be good at it :)
And the problem there ???

Hugs from a dark, cold and bleak UK
You don't sound like you've had a good time yourself Kay - you've been unusually quiet - everything OK with you?
Mikes not well (got some type of bug with a runny bum) and I've just been busy. Made Xmas puds, cakes etc. and been getting some exchanges out of the way.
Off Thursday to try and do some Xmas shopping but heaven knows what I'm getting. Not really got too much enthusiasm at the moment.
Maybe that's what I've been picking up on ???
Many hugs anyway sweetheart!
