Discombobulated!

Is that how you spell it? LOL oh well, that's how I'm feeling today and it's all because of this girl here:

This is my sweetpea, my girl Mandi. Today she left me (boo hoo)...she went on her first vacation without me! Her best friend Hannah moved at the beginning of last summer much to Mandi's dismay. I can't begin to tell you how heartbroken Mandi was with Hannah moving. They literally spent almost every minute they could together. Hannah did come back for a long weekend in the middle of last summer but they haven't seen each other since. The internet and cell phones sure get a dose of Mandi and Hannah though, they are constantly "hooking up" with each other! I'm glad though, it's nice that they have maintained their "best friend" status even with a distance between them. I honestly think that they will stay friends for life, at least I hope so. So, about a month or so ago Hannah's mom calls and says that she has to come to Chicago for business and wants to bring Hannah, could she stay with us for awhile? I was like "SURE!!" I knew Mandi would be over the moon happy about this. That's not all, she also said that she would be driving in and when she picked up Hannah to return home, could Mandi come along for about a week and a half...well, Mandi was totally thrilled!! Today was the day, Mandi left to go back to Minnesota to stay with Hannah for a little over a week and I really thought it was going to be easy, even somewhat joyous, to have the house all to myself!! With Roger gone traveling for work, I was thinking I'd be doing the happy dance...I mean, come on, a whole 10 days with nothing to do but what I want!! Scrapbook heaven here I come!! I was envisioning it, locking myself in my scrap studio and playing away! Okay, truth is, I'm totally in a funk! I miss my girl so dang much I can't stand it and she has only been gone for 6 hours!!! I feel totally alone (sob sob) and my scrap muse is just as weepy and therefore can't help me create a dang thing right now!! So, what have I done? well, I've finished all the laundry, cleaned the house, and basically wandered into Mandi's room about a jillion times just to look (I know, I'm pathetic!)...I'm hoping that after the shock of how I actually feel as opposed to how I thought I'd feel wears off, that tomorrow I'll be joining my muse and playing up a storm...

So, until next time,

Blessings!
