About Me
- Mrs. Squirrel
- Pastor's wife, step-mom, and self-employed medical transcriptionist. I find myself scrambling like a squirrel trying to "get it all done" while trying to cope with the many challenges of life. [I think it is safe to say that we do live in “interesting times”.] I am grateful for my Bible-believing faith and simple past-times (i.e. sanity-savers). Before I got married, I completed a Master's Degree in Archaeology. I also had two wonderful opportunities to travel overseas with family (on tours). I confess a romantic and action-loving heart with a great fondness for movies (both in front of and behind the screens). I'm particularly fond of swashbuckling movies and monster movies (new or old, as long as they aren't too slimy). In more ways than I care to admit, my whole life is a squirrel's nest - kind of messy, but there are occasionally safe places to hide.

Time to dive in...
OK. I've got a cute picture to look at and nifty links that I want to save and share. I guess I'd better get a post going before people realize just how inexperienced (i.e. "clueless") I am at this. [Actually, I imagine that posting will prove it - if logic still works.]
Wow. Where to start? My mind is already musing on how little spare time I have and I wonder if I'm even going to be able to maintain a blog. I love to keep a journal, though (my biggest sanity saver and memory backup), so maybe I can 'cut and paste' from it from time to time. [Mr. Squirrel and I have had a few hysterical events happen that I've written about in my journal that I would love to share. My most vivid examples are related to the time(s) we had to figure out how to rescue a chipmunk that found its way into the air-intake of our furnace!]
I must confess that my internet access is limited to bits and snatches at work when programs are running or I've got 'down-time'. Sometimes there is access at home if Mr. Squirrel is willing to share his laptop computer AND the weather patterns allow for a reasonably clear signal. Mr. Squirrel gets so frustrated when the signal is bad or konks out all together. Our best access is when we're in 'the big city' where I work and where Mr. Squirrel's mother lives. Staying with her tends to be when the roads are bad and going home is a bad idea. But it saves gas $$$, too, so it's not always associated with a bad situation and we are grateful for her hospitality. However, staying in the 'big city', does make a major contribution to that messy nest at home.]
Well, my time is up. Until we meet again...
Godspeed & God bless

Hurray Mrs. Squirrel!
And welcome to the big bloggy family. Hope you enjoy it without feeling obligated... although I always look forward to funny stories :0)
Julie
Thank you so much!
I don't think I'll feel obligated, but I do feel a little guilty. There is so much work to be done... but I'd like to take part in the fun, too. I've finally seen Mr. Squirrel come out of a lingering depression with his blog and I'd like to tap into that energy and encouragement. He's having a lot of fun with it, and that excitement is completely contagious. [In the good way.] He actually suggested that I start a blog of my own and has been a big help in getting me on the right track.
It's my hope that my blog will be a place where I can encourage myself as well as others. There are days I just need the extra boost. Mr. Squirrel introduced me to your blog and I've been looking forward to back-reading through your adventures!
Oops. Gotta get back to work.
See ya!
