I feel like there are so many things going on that I want to tell you about, I decided to do just that. Life lately has been pretty hectic the past few months. Many projects I was working got put on hold when my computer crashed on me, but my new one came in this weekend, so I am ready to hit the ground running!
First things first, the story of my computer was pretty interesting, and it was a great learning experience oddly enough. I mentioned in this Friday post, that I was handwriting many things and found it to be very inspiring. I learned again the joys of hand writing over typing. Back to the computer, I took it in for some software malfunction. After waiting to here back, I finally went to the store to see what was going on. Everyone was acting very strange, and I kept wondering what the deal was?!? The manager took me aside and told me she was very sorry, but something happened to my computer. Well, the screen shattered somehow over that weekend. She said of course they would take care of it, but she had to be in touch with the corporate manager to see how to handle it. Weeks went by and she still didn’t have a straight answer. I wanted to get irritated, but I stayed calm and just prayed things would work out. Well, very long story short. They bought me a new computer that is much more powerful and bigger than my old one! I felt very blessed and smiled seeing how the Lord really does work in mysterious ways 🙂
Anyways, on to life lately…
Blog News
- Chemistry Cachet is now on Facebook! I have been putting off starting a Facebook page for the blog, but I decided it was time. I would really love for you to like my page here 🙂
- I am also starting a newsletter which I have mentioned a few times. My good friend asked me what the letter would be about, so I thought I would touch a little more on that for you too. Basically, this is just going to be a fun new way to connect with my readers. It will be some behind the scenes, stuff about our life, little recipes not included on the blog, interesting facts and more. I plan on sending it out once a month, but maybe twice a month if I have some great stuff to share 🙂
- My friend and I had a little pumpkin party get together. I tried out some new recipes to share with you soon and we did some pumpkin crafting. We had so much fun and I can’t wait to share details soon! 🙂

Great news on the computer. I love when things like that happen. So excited about all you have going on. I’d tell you I’d sign up for your facebook, but I don’t do facebook. Newsletter yes, that I will do. Have a great day and love that dog!!
Thanks Michelle! I am so excited to have my new computer…of course, I have been working like crazy now that I have it, so I am forcing myself to take a break today lol. Thanks for signing up for my newsletter, I look forward to sending it out 🙂 Have a wonderful day!
Happy Tuesday Alexis. Things are steadying out a bit over here -weather, health issues, even work. Big sigh of relief. Congrats on the super duper new computer! What a blessing… But sometimes it’s nice to go “old school”. I still love sending out snail mail (notes) even though email and texts are (seemingly) faster. Although I am not on Facebook, I look forward to reading your Facebook wall. Have a wonderful day and evening.
Hi Laurie! I am the same way…I love writing and sending snail mail! I am so happy to hear things are slowing down for you. I hope you can enjoy a great fall season. Have a wonderful day!!
Hello from Waiting on Wednesdays! Just sent you a new personal like for your NEW Facebook page! 🙂 Happy fall…love the gorgeous sky picture and all those pumpkins. #fallmakesmehappy
Thank you so much for the support Elizabeth! Oh and fall is just the best, isn’t it?! Happy fall to you too and have a great day!
I’m so glad everything worked out with your computer! God is good – all the time! Even though waiting can be so hard! Thanks so much for linking up with Waiting on…Wednesday! Hope to see you back next week!
Thanks Holly, you are so right! God is good all the time! Have a wonderful day!
It’s crazy how things work out in mysterious ways! I’m glad your computer issue was resolved and then some. Good things happen to good people!
I am so grateful it has been resolved too. I really missed working on the computer! 🙂
Well that’s good news about your computer! I just downloaded Windows 10 and it screwed up everything on my computer 🙁 I can barely work on it and I keep finding that I need to bring my work laptop everywhere with me! Congrats on joining Facebook!
Oh man, I almost switched to windows 10 on my lap top, but I was afraid of that very thing…I think I will wait on that! Windows 10 on my new desk top is great though!
Wow, it sounds like your life has been filled with some seriously beautiful things and all kinds of crazy! Thanks for joining us on Oh My Heartsie Girl Wordless Wednesday!
Shellie
It definitely has! More than usual, but I am so happy to be doing all of it 🙂 Thanks so much Shellie, have a great week!
