...leaving the house without my cell phone
...mixing my "hots" with my "colds" and just putting a whole pile of laundry on warm.
...shaving every other leg, every other day
...mixing it up and instead of saying "I love you" to my loved ones, saying "I love that you love me."

* Go to a movie by myself... * Spend more time with girlfriends... * Spend more time ALONE... * Be a friend to ME... * Eat better, exercise more. SUMMER IS COMING!!

I'm in the process of starting a new life path for myself. I've been thinking of what I want to accomplish by my next big birthday (I'll be 50 in 3 years) and when an opportunity came along to buy an online web scrapbook store, I consulted some people who's opinion I respected and decided to go for it. This issue, particularly the quote page, resonated for me - I've got the "Get up and go" and "when you come apart, pick up the piecesc and find some glue" posted on the bulletin boards in my home office to remind me. Thanks for a fun and interesting publication! I'm definitely winging it. If anyone has an online business and can offer tips to help me launch properly, I'd really appreciate your feedback - rizamerk@cox.net Theresa Merkling http://www.2scrappychixdesigns.com

I got the shock of my life last month when the child I gave up for adoption 23 years ago found me. I had always hoped that day would come, but never thought it would! This month I am definitely "wingin' it" as my child and I continue to share e-mails and phone calls getting to know each other. Last weekend we had our first face-to-face meeting and it was wonderful. She is a phenomenal young woman and I am so glad that we got the change to re-connect.
