A Post Saved Is A Post Posted

Wow. I just wrote my usual long thoughtful blog entry. I re-read the entry. I edited it. I tried, for the first time, to add photos. Twice. Then I tried to move the location of the photos within the post. Notice I haven't yet said "I hit save." Yeah.

So... to recap what you will never now read, and I don't have the patience or the time to try and recreate...
Here are the pictures of a great wall mural and some quilted tapestries I've recently created, and wanted to celebrate by including:

I get sentimental and appreciative at this time of year. "Gag me with a spoon!"
(This all made sense in the original, I swear.)

The First Wive's Club is a great movie about three middle-aged women becoming empowered through their friendship at a time when each of their husbands has left them for a younger woman. One woman's mother says to her, "You're 46, you have a husband, you have a daughter. You're very happy. You don't need self-esteem!" It's a funny movie, and I love how the women don't hate men, but end up not feeling dependent on them or controlled by them any more. It's liberating.

Here are some of the women I want to thank for empowering me and sharing their great wisdom, even though they aren't rich movie stars: the Beautifuls, the musician, the school principals, the borrowed mothers of my friends, the muddy librarian, the business woman, the Scorpio, the stampers, and the artist's counselor. Thanks.
(Remember, I'm re-capping.)

One of my all-time favorite movie quotes is from Miss Congeniality. "I'm tired, I'm hungry, I have gel in my hair, and I'm armed-- Don't mess with me."

More another time.
