On the upside of things the storyline with the ghost is actually developing (as to how she became a ghostie). I just need to make a plausible connection between Auron's (AYR-on) unfinished business and her descendants. Or her love's descendants; I haven't decided which, yet. I'm only hoping and praying inspiration will come to me and stay with me through this project.
Today has had a decided patriotic theme. Last night I was once again idly checking my email and recognized a name from when I worked on the Ricks College Scroll. Melinda T.... But when I opened the email...I was taken aback and then disappointment set in. It isn't from her then, I thought, looking at the screen. For, before me was some sort of newsletter advertising Libertyville, USA. Upon first impression it looked like some lady was showering unsuspecting randomees with her patriotism and pedaling Americana stuff on her online store.
I was ssoo lucky I did not delete it, as it was my first inclination to do so. Upon a closer inspection, especially at the distant shot of her and her family, I realized it was Melinda. So I replied and have decided to look at the site a bit later. Mom loves Americana stuff so when I have more money I may indeed splurge there on behalf of both her and my friend.
Then today I was surprised to see a white envelope suddenly descend into my line of vision bearing Heather's name in the return address spot. The only other mail I received from her was her graduation announcement. And that was delivered in person. I'm so special! *grins*
Inside was a square of fabric--patriotic in color--with a letter explaining it was the start of my Friendly Charm Quilt. I have to send a square back to Heather and one to her mom, and then six more to others. So far I have about three to four names of people might be willing to do this with us. If you're interested let me know, please. I'll be glad to let you be one of my six people.
True, I let them off the hook (in a moment of what I call weak kindness), but I was hoping they'd really want the time with me when it was I who suggested we do something--Jon, Natalie and I. I dunno. Maybe I'm being petulant or pouty, but it seems like whenever I've invited Jon or Kami to do something and I get the "Yeah sure. Sounds like fun" response, the bonding thing keeps getting postponed until I finally just give up.
Also true is that they said they'd do the movie thang with me tonight, since they went with friends last night. So, they are keeping their word and therefore, I really don't have room to complain. But it's just happened to me a lot--the constant postponing--that I'm to the point where I'm tired of it and expect it any time I'm fool or optimistic enough to ask. I told Natalie when she called it was up to her and Jon to pick a movie cause I'm nearly always the one to pick it. I'm through and taking a break.
