DISCLAIMER FOR BEING OVER-EMOTIONAL: I've been battling a lupus flare up this week, which usually causes me to get very emotional. It's not out of frustration or anything like that...it seems to be that lupus flare ups cause extreme sadness and tiredness in me. I've been meaning to blog about it, but now I'm just at a loss of words to describe how I feel. There are more pressing things going on in the world than one person dealing with lupus, right?
Today was a very mixed emotion day for me. I've been sad all day about the earthquake in Chile, as I mentioned in my last post. Then, for the past hour or so I've had the Olympics on and then they cut over to a program about September 11th. Nine years later seeing the footage and hearing the stories still make me cry. I just can't help but wonder what in the world is going on? Seriously, if there was a God why is there all this devastation and hatred circulating the world? What kind of God would do that? (just the beginning of my issues!) It's so sad to me that people think they have a right to take another human life, or that people can sit by and watch another suffer....it's disgusting.
Well, I've probably said enough cuz goodness knows I could rant and rave about that subject. Today I just don't feel like really getting into it because I'm having trouble organizing my thoughts in an understandable manner. Ugh!

Anyway, today I took my green bags to Trade Joe's again. I seem to be addicted to that store as well lately. I love their little appetizer type things you find in the freezer section. And its super easy for me to pop those in the oven when my daughter is with her father for the weekend. It sure beats cooking a meal, and it's so boring to cook a meal for myself and then sit at the table - ho, hum.
I also FINALLY am PARTICIPATING in Postcrossing.com. Soooo cool! My postcards came this morning. Super fun! I got 100 postcards from Amazon.com for $0.13 per postcard, plus it was free shipping! Where in the heck can you buy a postcard for $0.13???? (they even came in a keepsake box) Anyway, I signed up for 5 to send, which is the maximum you can send until you receive one. They send you random addresses...my addresses were from Mass., USA; Finland; Taiwan; China and Germany. I love getting mail and I love hearing from people from all over the world!!! So much fun and so interesting!!! Off to the post office on Monday I am!!!!
I went to the library today and started reading my new book for March, "Dating is Murder" by Harley Jane Kozak. We'll see how it goes. She's a new author to me. I'm branching out, what can I say?
I think that's all I've really accomplished that is new. I still have to eat my yogurt today (ugh! so not in the mood), but I drank my water, put my buck aside, blogged, etc. My photo of the day, however, I did not take today. I honored my sister country of Chile by posting one of my favorite pictures from my travels...such a peaceful place in a breathtakingly beautiful country!
