Sometimes it just seems that everything you do is against you. And today was one of those days. But I guess that it is a learning experience. A chance to examine your inner strength and stamina. A day to see if you can keep from blowing your cool. To see if you keep from telling someone off.
At the end of the day, a nice drink, a long soak in a tub and just relax.
Maybe work on my jewelry - beading. It is another hobby. It is relaxing and is slightly creative. I enjoy it. Most of the jewelry I make, I give away to family or friends. Could be an avocation after retirement. Who knows?
And then there is Painting With A Twist - http://www.paintingwithatwist.com/ - art instruction with wine. Can't get any better than that! And it is really fun. And you get artwork to hang on your wall.

Hello World
Blogging. Seems like everyone is blogging. So, I guess I will join the bandwagon.
First, a little about me. I am a nurse for 38 years, about to retire. I have lived in Texas, Louisiana, Spain, Japan, Guam, Key West. I am married and have two grown children. My interests include needlework, making jewelry, sewing, scuba diving, traveling, reading and anything to do with my grandchild.
But my primary hobby is Cowboy Action Shooting. I am a member of SASS – Single Action Shooting Society – www.sassnet.com. There are over 80,00 members world-wide.

We dress in period-correct clothing from the late 1800′s. We do timed-target shooting using reproduction guns of that period. It’s a lot of fun. We shoot with all ages – from six-year-olds to eighty-year-olds. And some of those eighty-year-olds are pretty quick.
