Fuzzball

Well we had to have Fuzzball shaved. Now she is a rather large cat. She used to weigh in at 25 pounds but it seems that she has lost a bit she is only 20 pounds now. We have to have her put out to shave her. If she sees scissors or clippers or anything that she even thinks might be anything like them she freaks.
I found a new vet to do it. We were not at all happy with the old vet. We didn't like they way they were with her and whenever we got her back it usually took about 2 days for her to get close to normal. Well this vet that one of my customers recommended was the best. When we picked her up she was alert, happy just fantastic and this is where the problem lies, Not for us but for the other too cats. Sammie and Charlie. Now Sammie is a rescue cat and we found out is a Norwegian Forest Cat and Charlie is a Bengal. Both of these varieties have strong personalities and tend to barely tolerate other kitties. Well Fuzzball doesn't do much anymore and got so she would just run from the other two. She would hiss and throw a fit but would go to one or two places around the main floor. NOT ANY MORE!!! It is fantastic, Fuzzball was born in this house 13 years ago and she has decided to take it back and let me tell you the other two are not happy. I however am loving every bit of it. The first night home I took her upstairs and put her on my bed well guess what! That is her place now and she makes the other two leave or go to another part of the bed and then in the middle of the night she gets up and lays at my chest where Charlie used to sleep. We have a war going on in the bedroom with the two female cats. It is hilarious except of course when I am trying to sleep. So now at time I am fighting for a spot on the bed between the cats and Don. God help me, lol. I love my kitties but now that Fuzzy feels better she is giving everyone hell and taking control of the house.
Well today was spring ahead and I forgot to turn the clocks forward last night but got it done this morning but it kind of messed me up. At least I got most stuff done today that I had planned and I cooked a pretty good dinner tonight as well. It was a pretty good day.
Well I got to go for now but thanks for stopping by. I love you guys.

Home

Well after being stranded for a couple of days we got home. I hope to not see any beige walls for awhile. The end of the trip was just unbelievable. When we were finally getting ready to get on our plane well that didn't work either. There was a problem with one of the engines on the plane and well to get to the point they put a bunch of us on a bus and bussed us to Philadelphia. It was a 2 hour ride. Alot of us were not happy. We had to go through security all over again and the whole works. It was just, well we have called it the trip from hell. I had such a good time seeing my family but the traveling part left just a bit to be desired and then to get stranded well enough said on that. We did come home to nasty weather too. On the up side I got caught up on all the stuff that I needed to from being gone. It was really quick. That is nice for sure.
I am now planning my next trip. Hopefully it will go smoother plus it isn't going to be in February and during winter, lol. Of course I probably shouldn't say anything because it will probably snow in the summer because I have said that, lol. Oh well anyway. I just wanted to check in and let you know we did make it home, finally and several days late but here. Now if the weekend could just get her a little faster. Thanks for stopping by and I love you guys. I will post more in a few days.

Whats Going On

I am sitting here in a holiday express bored as hell. Don and I may be stranded. One heck of a snow storm is headed this way so we left for the airport a day early just in case. Well let me tell you, I would rather be stranded where I was at than in a hotel. I know crazy but true! Just got done visiting family and would rather still be close to them. Getting so tired of being so far away from everyone. I got to see both my daughters and my grand daughter. She is such a sweetie. She has gotten so big.
About a week ago I got to see my grandson. My son got online and I got to see him via web cam. I really have to get a web cam. I had one but tried to hook it up and it is not compatible with the system. Apparently it is a bit to old, LOL. I will get one as soon as I get some extra money.
Well back to possibly being stranded. The stranded thing isn't what is so bad. I am just not ready to go back to El Paso. I wish I wasn't but I have to get back to work.
I got just a bit more done on the monopoly board done so that is also a plus. It is taking me way longer than I thought but I am so busy all the time I don't ever seem to have time to do any of that stuff anymore. I may only get a little done but it is something. That is what counts at least I think so. I am thinking of doing a couple of small quick things to maybe get my juice flowing again and maybe get the motivation back.
It hasn't started snowing yet but it is supposed to soon. I keep looking out the window and I think I am starting to drive Don crazy, lol. I don't care though. Sometimes I miss the snow and I like to watch it. The other night when we went to eat it started snowing silver dollar size flakes. I think the other people thought I was nuts when I got up and was watching the snow all excited. Oh well, living in the desert I think makes you enjoy some of the stuff a little more. We hardly ever get snow.
Well I guess that is all for now. It is getting a bit late and I need to wind down before I head off to sleep. Thanks for stopping by. Love you guys.

January

Gosh where has January gone? It seems to have just flown by. Not much has been going on around here. The weather has been cold for around here. I am looking forward to the spring time. Hopefully business will pick up.
I made some chocolate chip cookies today. Probably shouldn't have because I really don't need to be eating them but it was chilly today so I figured it would be a nice way to heat up the kitchen. I will make sure I get to the gym this week, lol. Well going to the gym is really working for me. I am losing inches. I am continually surprised. I am not sure why since I go and I do work hard when I am there. I do feel better too and more energy when I go too. I do realize that the days I don't feel like going are the days I really need to get there too. I haven't lost lots of weight just a few pounds but that doesn't really bother me because I see the results in the other things like losing the inches. I have lost 7 inches total in all parts of my body the biggest amount at my abdomen. WOOHOO!
I have also recently started to get rid of the clothes that as much as I would like to keep I know I most likely will never fit into again and am starting to part with them. Oh well. At least they give me a write off on my taxes, lol. Plus I would rather donate so they go where someone will appreciate them and use them. Around here if you sell in a garage sale it seems that people buy them to sell elsewhere and just make money but they try to "screw" you over to get them. I hate that kind of stuff. So I donate.
Well the weekend is about over and it is back to work tomorrow. I am so looking to take a little vacation. Any holidays coming up? LOL
Well not much else going on around here so I will sign off for now but I will be back soon. Thanks for stopping by. Love you guys!

Just a little to say

Well I thought maybe I should try and update a little more. I do try but I just can't seem to keep up but hey that's just life right now. One thing though, I am a member of She Speaks which is "group" for lack of a better name. Maybe panel would be better and I am testing a Oral B Professional Care 1000 toothbrush. It is a rechargeable one and OMG I love this thing. I know I don't usually talk about this stuff but I am loving this toothbrush. I am also trying the Sensodyne foaming toothpaste and between these two things I am just impressed. I have used other toothbrushes that use batteries and were rechargeable but this one really does clean your teeth and sometimes I get a little excited lol and push to hard with the brush and this thing pauses when that happens so you know you are doing that. It is just so neat. I am just loving it. I think even my dentist will be happy LOL. Ok enough on that you all will be thinking I have lost my mine which maybe I have and if you find it please return it to a more responsible owner. LOL
I hadn't listened to NKOTB since well 10 or so years ago. My daughter really loved them but they kind of faded out a bit and when I was home over Thanksgiving well she had their new album and I kind of wondered how it didn't get worn out but then I think it is kind of hard to wear out CD's. Well she showed me videos on Youtube and played the album and there were a couple of songs that were good. Well what did I do? I ended up going and buying the album, and now of course it is on my Zune. I was a bit surprised that I liked it so much. Then I realized these guys are in their late 30's and 40. I think its kind of funny, that isn't really the right word but sort of fits, that my daughter loves them so much and when I say well Donnie Wahlberg is hot she is like god mom. Especially since he is about 40 I think. I am wondering if I should remind her of that LOL. Oh well, I guess I had better sign out for now. I have babbled on about strange stuff enough for one night. I was just in one of those moods. Hope you are all well and love you guys. Gonna go listen to my zune and read a chapter in my book. Talk to you guys later.

2010

Here it is the New Year and like everyone I am trying to turn over a new leaf and do everything better than last year. Keep up with everyone and everything however I know I am setting myself up for failure and readily admit it. I do hope that this year will be better. I am working on myself for a change. A few months ago I joined Curves and I do love it. The last couple of weeks I have slacked off but I think that always happens with stuff like this around the holidays. Monday will be back to the workouts. I do feel better when I do it. I like that I can go get it done and get out and get the rest of the stuff I have to do done as well and it does not take hours. Thankfully there is also someone there to keep you motivated. I like the ladies at my curves. I am going to give up some of the junk food I eat. I have been better at staying away from it but it still gets me and I know I can't totally give it up. At least dark chocolate (my favorite) is not that bad for you so I don't even feel slightly guilty for eating it. I am also going to try to drink less coffee and drink more green tea. Won't give my coffee totally up I like it to darn much. I got out a new cross stitch project to start. I want to finish the monopoly board this year though. That is top on my list but I know I have to do that in shifts so to say. I can't work on it continuously or just that. It will burn me out. Maybe this will be the year my life comes a bit more together and I will get some of what I want. Hopefully some things can get mended as well even though in one case I am not even sure what I did or what to do to fix it. Can't seem to get answers either so that one might be hard but we will see. It looks like this is gonna be a year of change. Hopefully all for the good and maybe just maybe I can do some of what I want and have some of what I want.
I hope you all are well and had a safe and happy holiday. I am so glad you guys continue to stop by and see what I might have to say. Love you all.

Okay

Well things have been a little strange lately so I have been slacking off on everything but at my office. I know that I shouldn't but we all know how things go. There are so many different aspects of our lives that sometimes they just don't fit together like we think they should and lately I have felt like I am a couple of pieces short of a jigsaw puzzle.
I was lucky enough to be able to visit my family over Thanksgiving. I got to see my mom, brothers, and both daughters and one of their boyfriends and my grand daughter. We went out for Thanksgiving dinner, well my two daughters, mom, daughters fiance, grand daughter and my bf. I think we were the entertainment for the dining hall. It was a blast, the waitress wanted to take the afternoon off and sit with us, lol. We just had fun and not one argument so that was just way cool.
We got home to TX and well what happened one hell of a snowstorm. People here don't know about driving in snow so it is always a joy but then what else can you do for entertainment around here.
Well it is almost Christmas and it just doesn't feel like it. I can't put up a tree in my office because even though I have been moved in for a month it is just not finished yet. I am still waiting for a four socket plug to be put in. So basically I don't have enough plugs to plug anything into so that is so much fun. I am just hoping the new year is better. At least I have my Christmas shopping done except for one thing. Don't ask me how I managed to be done because I don't think I can give you an answer. I just don't know.
It is 60 degrees today and almost Christmas and I am working from home this afternoon. Well don't tell anyone that at this minute I am doing this and not work stuff.
I joined Curves about 6 to 8 weeks ago because my Dr told me I needed to do something other than cross stitch for my stress level. Well I will say it does work and I lost weight and inches. I have another weigh and measure day coming up hopefully I am still on track but if not I will work a bit harder for next time. I guess we will see what happens.
In case I don't get on here before Christmas let me wish you all a Merry Christmas and hope that you have a great one. I had better sign off for now and finish up one or two things so I can call it a day and Thanks for stopping by. I love you all and will be back soon!

Its Fall

Well it has been quite awhile since I have been able to update this. Every time I get ready to well it is just one thing after another. Well finally here I am and just doing it.
I have had a strange couple of months but I guess I was due, lol. The worst was this past month and it was a month for sure. The first of October my landlord at my office came in and said...We are expanding our xray capabilities and I need my office space back by November 1st. I was like OMG WOW. So I had 30 days to find a new office well let me tell you that was no easy task trying to get this handled and I finally found one. WOOHOO! You would think. My office was supposed to be ready 4 pm Friday well guess what it still isn't done but at 7 pm last night I was able to get my furniture in but most of my stuff is in an empty office across the hall because my office isn't finished. It would take me 12 pages here to put down everything that happened and about one paragraph would be good stuff.
Also I go to the dr for a physical and I have to change a bunch of stuff in my life. I don't get call backs from drs about test results. I got one and of course it freaked me out but nothing that can't be easily handled but still. I have to change my diet, lower my stress level, like that is gonna happen after this last month and trying to move, lol. And my vitamin d level is less than half of what it should be so I have to take medicine for that and he isn't sure when I can get off that. If I don't get my cholesterol down I will have to try medicine for that as well. And the most stressful time of the year is coming THE HOLIDAYS!!! Oh well. And to boot I got a really bad cold that looks like it is turning into bronchitis. It keeps getting better and better, lol. On the other hand most of this is easily handled.
I am trying to make time to stitch haven't been able to in awhile and I am tired of not being able to so I am trying to rearrange things so I can. I also have to go to the gym drs orders but I have joined Curves and I love it but haven't been able to go for the last 3 or 4 days and find I do miss it alot. I never would have thought that would happen, lol. It is fun and I didn't think it would be but the dr told me I needed to join a gym mostly for stress relief and it does help plus it does already make me feel better. I am headed back there this week.
I am also headed back East for Thanksgiving! I am excited of course I am always excited to see my family and I have invited my son, daughter-in-law and grandson for Christmas here. I hope they can come.
Well I had better sign off for now. Gotta get some more stuff done and see if they got the electric sockets in at my new office. Keep your fingers crossed for me. I will check back in soon. I miss you guys when I don't update so hopefully will be able to do more again. Love you all!

Quite Awhile

Well it seems I haven't been able to keep up with this lately. Not on purpose that is for sure. I have had alot going on. I haven't gotten much stitching done lately either. Need for the motivation to kick in. That would be really nice. Trying to run my insurance business and sell Tupperware and keep in contact with everyone I need to and I just seem to get further behind. It is frustrating. I can't seem to sell insurance or Tupperware even with my newsletter going out and a contest going on. I thought that if I was giving away free Tupperware it would help. Right now I am doing a drawing. With each purchase I put your name in a drawing for free Tupperware and then if you purchase the deal going on you get an extra entry. HMMM I guess I need to rethink it. Well it will be over on the 25th anyway so we will see what happens by then.
Andrea is 9 pounds now but still on the monitor at least for the next month. Hopefully she will be off the next appt in September. I hope so. She is such a cutie. Aiden is growing so fast too. He is in 9 month clothes already but then he was a really big baby like his dad was so I am not really surprised by that. He is such a cute one too but then I could be a bit biased LOL.
It is supposed to storm tonight here but I don't think it is going to do to much. I wish it would because we do need it. Tim and Faith and Aiden are almost moved. Tim will be there by Tuesday so that will be nice. He and his family will be a bit closer maybe that means I will get to see him and Faith and Aiden. That will be nice. I haven't seen him in about 3 years give or take. I guess I will just have to see what happens.
Next month I am going to San Francisco. WooHoo!! I have never been there and am excited that I will get to go. Don has a business meeting and wants me to go. It will be a nice trip short but nice. Well I had better close for now. Need to eat some dinner. Thanks for stopping by and love you guys!

Just the Usual Stuff

Well this week has been interesting here in El Paso. Lots of crazy stuff going on. We have a well known restaurant here, people all over the world know it and have eaten there. It is called Chico's Tacos. Well a group of guys went in to eat and well they were all gay. Two of them shared a quick kiss (depending on who you talk to) and all hell broke loose. The security guard told them to leave and then the cops were called and apparently were not totally knowledgeable in city ordinances and so on and so on. It seems that in El Paso that you can not refuse service to someone based on sexual orientation, race etc. The passed this about 6 years ago I think I read. Well then there was a large demonstration outside the restaurant because the guys got kicked out. The security guard told them they do not allow that gay stuff in here and all that. Jeez. I am so disgusted about every one's behavior in this situation. No one wants to hear anyone else's side, no one wants to give in and no one seems to want to be tolerable of the other side. OK people lets get real. I think first off what you do in the confines of your home is your business but when you take it and do it in public then it is every ones business. I am surprised about the whole freaking out bit though. You see guys and girls kissing making it look like they are trying to see who can swallow whose tongue and nothing is said. That I find offensive. It seems that that is OK. Oh well I am sure all this will pass at some point but it seems lawsuits are going to be filed and all that stuff. People have already gone to see lawyers and all that. Oh well. Also this week it has been 100 degrees and over and will be for the next week as well. Summer is here.
I am going to visit family in about 10 days. I am supposed to be able to see my grand daughter, Andrea. She is getting so big. She is 6 and 1/2 pounds now. Yay!! I do wish that I could see my grand son Aiden. I would like to see my son and his wife. They are supposed to be going to another duty station a bit closer to me so maybe once they get settled. We will see how all that works out.
I am also hoping to go see the new Transformer movie this week. I so want to see it. I really liked the first one and am told is as good. We will see. Well not much else going on right now. I am going to have to go and work for awhile at the other house, do the minor stuff like cover nail holes and such. Gotta put some of the globes back up. Had to put a couple of them through the dishwasher. They were pretty dirty. Unfortunately the renters in Don's house weren't exactly the best. Got the tile done and now have to do the carpet in the bedrooms. Then hopefully the cat pee smell will be totally done. We do have to pull the old carpet up and seal the concrete underneath. That is gonna be so fun. I will be so glad when it is finally done and we can get it rented. OK well I better go take care of a couple of things here while I have a few minutes. Hope you all are well and thanks for stopping by. Love you guys! Will be back soon.

Catching Up

Well it has been a bit since I last posted. It has been crazy. Aiden finally arrived on June 14th. He was a big one. 9 pounds 5 ounces and 21 inches long. My kids went from one extreme to the next. LOL. Don't have any pictures to show yet but will try and get some. I have been so busy with so many things and none of them stitching which is disappointing to me because I have been trying to stitch. Yesterday had to help carry tile, grout and thinset and take switch plates and electrical outlet plates down. Vacuum and clean, clean, clean. We have to get a rental house ready for new renters and the old renters were bad. We have to replace carpet because their cats totally ruined carpet by peeing on it and not cleaning up after them. The house just reeks. How could they not smell it. So we are replacing carpet in the bedrooms and then tiling the rest of the house. It took 4 coats of paint in one bedroom and three in one of the others to cover the colors they had painted, that by the way they weren't suppose to do. Lime green was one bedroom and blue in another. They didn't really clean up very well either. Just for the stove it has taken 2 cans of oven cleaner and we have to go get one more because it is still horrible. One knob won't even come off the stove. We are not sure what to do about that one. I am going insane with all this. Oh well, I think today we are going over to do more. Not how I wanted to spend my weekend but what can you do?
Ok enough of that. Both Andrea and Aiden are doing quite well so I am happy about that. It is a nice rainy day here today but sitting here looking out the window as I post it is clearing up but looks like another storm is coming which is nice at least as far as I am concerned. We get so little rain that I do enjoy it for the most part when it come although most people here have a hard time driving in the rain. Lots of accidents and such. So I will stay home today I hope unless Don remembers we have more to do today of the minor stuff to prepare for the guy to come do the tiling. Well I think I will go take a shower and relax for a bit. I will post more soon. Thanks for stopping by and I appreciate your continued reading. Love you guys!!

Update

I have a couple of more photos. The one on the left is me, Melissa, Gretchen and Andrea. The one one the right is mommy and baby. Hopefully soon little Aiden will be here. He is being a bit stubborn. There isn't much going on just the usual. Work and more work. I had a meeting this morning and then had to go grocery shopping. Both of those seemed to take all day. I am thinking about watching a movie but not sure what I want to watch and I do have a rather large choice, LOL. On sci fi tonight is some bug movie but it is your typical sci fi movie. I am half ass watching it which is why I am looking for something else because it just isn't keeping my interest. It is only 8 here but it feels like it is so much later than that. I guess because I am so bored. I should try and stitch but I just don't feel motivated to and I haven't really felt motivated to do that lately anyway. Oh well. The weather has been decent here not like central TX with all the severe storms and such. I wish we would get a thunder storm but that isn't likely for a while yet. Soon it will be our monsoon season and then I probably won't want to see the storms.This darn cat keeps trying to walk on my keyboard. Jeez I don't think I need her help but I guess she thinks I do. Well I guess I had better sign off for now. I will update again soon and maybe next time I will have another grand baby to talk about too. Thanks for stopping by I appreciate it. Love you guys, talk to you soon.

Just Updating

No new pictures this time. I should but will do that next time. Still waiting for Aiden to get here. He seems to be a bit stubborn like his daddy was, lol. The last few days have been a bit taxing. I got just a teeny bit of stitching done and cut some more fabric for quilts. I am alone for the next 5 days so maybe I will get some stuff done. I did get some stuff done today though. I cleaned the kitchen. I even managed to clean the garbage can in the kitchen. I hate that job but it never seems to get done. I even took a nap this afternoon for a bit but had a "bad" dream that actually woke me up. Haven't had that happen in a while. Andrea went home today! YAY! She has a apnea monitor but thats cool that is pretty normal with a preemie. I am so glad Aiden is not a preemie. I am not sure I could handle two of those. I am anxious for him to get here.
I was watching a movie earlier and after watching half of it it started skipping and freezing so now I have to send it back to netflix and get a replacement so I can see the rest. LOL So glad that doesn't happen to often but when it does they are great. Monday a replacement will ship out and this one will go back and it only takes a day to get the movies. It seems we have a shipping facility here in El Paso so I get my movies super quick. Gotta love that. I put in Krull but will probably turn it off halfway through because I will be ready for bed soon. It has been a long day but I probably said that already. I discovered twitter not too long ago. I never really paid attention to it and then a couple of friends both sent me invites to it so I checked it out and what is so funny is that I am the one that follows some people, updates at least once a day and reads what the people I follow have to say. To me that is so funny because I am the one that was resisting it. Oh well. I guess I better go finish my laundry. Thanks for stopping by. I will update again soon and maybe I will have more baby news. Love you guys and I do appreciate the several of you that are here on a regular basis. You make me feel so blessed and loved.

Its the end of May

Well here it is the end of May. Melissa's baby is 30 days and still in the hospital. They are saying she should be coming home soon. She is 3 pounds 10 1/2 ounces. YAY!! She is doing good. We are still waiting for Timothy and Faith's littleone to arrive. Am excited and can't wait for him to get here. This last month as you can imagine has been nuts. I finished the quilt for Andrea and I will post a picture when I get it uploaded. I am working on the one for Aiden and hopefully will get that one done soon. For some reason I had so much trouble getting this one done. It wouldn't go together correctly and had to stitch it and take it apart several times. I think I was trying to hard to get it done. It is finished and it is so cute. We got back here to El Paso and missed all the rain. I was a little disappointed because we don't get to see to much and I enjoy it when it comes. We did go out to pick a few groceries up the other night and we had a heck of a thunderstorm. It lasted awhile and the lightning was very pretty. I kept thinking please don't turn to hail, I don't want to deal with the claims that come along with that, lol. It was a short week at work since we got back Wednesday night and back in the office on Thursday. That I must say was nice but I had grandchildren on the mind, Andrea and soon Aiden will be here. Other than that not much is going on I am still trying to recover from vacation, except I don't get vacations because I have to forward my phones and work. Thank god for laptops! So still trying to recover from my working vacation. I am gonna try and stitch a bit tonight. Hopefully will get that in since I cleaned a bunch this afternoon and tried to organize my Tupperware. Wishing I could get some orders. I had two parties scheduled the last month and both cancelled. I can't seem to get any parties booked either and when I do they cancel. I had a third party that was a catalog party and the poor girl her family didn't even order anything from her so that was a major bust. She decided to cancel the order she had for herself. Oh well. Hope you are all well and I will be back soon, hopefully with more pics for you. Thanks for stopping by.Love you guys.

I am a grandma

Well Melissa had her little one. EARLY. Little Andrea Elizabeth was born on May 1st and was just 2 pounds 4 oz and 36 cm long. We had a few problems but here she is and she is breathing on her own they actually took her off oxygen fairly quickly. Poor Andrea got was a month behind in utero and she was 2 months premature on top of that but she is doing pretty good. Mama is doing pretty good too. We are glad she is here and doing well now we are just waiting for my son Tim and his wife Faith to have their little one. I am looking forward to Aiden Timothy joining us pretty soon too. I will let you know when that happens too. Thanks for stopping by and we will talk to you soon.

Hey Guys

Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I was trying to do better but I have had alot going on. One of these days I will be organized, lol.

Well at the moment I am in Santa Fe, NM. I am working but on vacation, fun, fun. It hasn't been too bad. I have a couple of pictures to post and then there will be more later, I hope. I will say today I am not feeling to well but hopefully that will pass. It is nice here. Good weather, peace and quiet. It has clouded up a bit a couple of days but no rain.

Melissa has to go next Tuesday for an ultrasound. Her uterus is measuring small and so they need to check it out. She also told me last night what she didn't tell me when she told me about the ultrasound that the baby's heart is still in the normal range but it has slowed. I am trying not to worry but I am still worrying. Melissa is petite so that could be part of the problem but we will know more on Tuesday after her appointment. The pictures I am posting today are of the San Miguel Church here. I am told it is the oldest church in the US. It was built in 1610 I believe. I forgot to take a picture of the sign. That would be me, lol. The church is really great. The one behind glass is a grave marker. We even got to see the original stairs to the alter and such but couldn't get a picture but you wouldn't have been able to see it anyway. It was under glass on the floor behind the rail at the alter and we had to lean to see it it. Well the pics didn't post where I wanted them to so they are at top as you can see. Oh well. I will post more when I have more. I am trying to relax a bit this week. We have had some pretty good food as well. Maybe that is why I don't feel well today, my body isn't used to the good food, LOL. Well I will talk to you again soon. Love you guys.

New Project

Well I am beginning a new project. I have done a couple of small really quick things but this one is a big one for me anyway. I finally got all the stuff together to do it, YAY!! I am starting the Monopoly Board. With the millions of skeins of floss I actually had to pick a couple more up. LOL I am excited and I have a fan club to keep me going. A couple of friends at another friends office are going crazy for me to get it going and getting it done. They can't believe that there is actually a pattern for something like that. I get such a kick out of Liz and Claudia. I am going to do it on 14 count aida instead of 18 because I can't seem to find 18 in the size I need so it will be a bit bigger than if I did have the right material but that's ok I don't mind about that besides if I special order it I may not ever get it started. I will definitely post pictures as I get it going cuz this is a big one and I am excited about it. I am also getting serious about the baby quilts. I have been going and going over the material and stuff so I just need to get the courage and not worry that they might not be good enough or come out good enough and get them done. I am gonna be a grandma soon, YAY!! My son is going to Afghanistan in August so that really sucks. Plus he will have a 2 month old when he leaves. That is defiantly upsetting but that is just part of ARMY life which I do know well I have been dealing with it for almost 30 years in one way or another but when it is your child it is different for sure. Well I have a couple of things I need to get done. I guess I can't keep putting them off so I will go get them done. Thanks for stopping by and I will keep you guys updated.

March

It is the beginning of a new month. I am ready for this month. I am planning on getting some good stitching done. Lately I have been battling migraines. I am not sure why I am having so many lately other than maybe stress but I am so I am hoping that the stitching will relax me and help me keep them away. I am so far behind on everything and one day I might actually get caught up. Of course I do have a poster in my office that says--God put me on this earth to accomplish a certain number of things and right now I am so far behind I will never die. That is what it feels like but hey I love my job! LOL I am looking at a couple of things to stitch and haven't picked one yet so I may just start more than 1. I do love to start its the finishing I have the trouble with, lol. We are having some great sales with Tupperware, one of the ones that they haven't done before is buy $25.00 in Tupperware and get $16.00 in gifts and another one is buy $125.00 and get 2 gifts and $25.00 in free Tupperware of your choice. They have not done that before. Its great. You can check some of this stuff out if you want at http://my.tupperware.com/sehall or you can email me or message me here. I am excited about the great stuff going on. Well I had better sign off for now I have to do some paperwork for the office and I have been putting off since I got home. Thanks for stopping by and hope you all are well. I will let you know what I have started stitching as soon as I do.

Coffee

Well as you can see I got this finished. When I just sat down to do it I got it done. It was a quick stitch. Now I should go get a cup of coffee, lol. I have a couple of things I am looking at to do next. Not sure which I am gonna do. I have so much to do and so little time as all of us stitchers. I have more stuff than lifetime as I am reminded of so often. I do have some non stitching stuff to get on with as well so I guess we will see what gets done and what doesn't.
I can't believe the weekend is about over already. I am just recovering from the work week and it is time to go back. Well at least on Monday evening there is The Closer and on Tuesday evening there is Leverage with Christian Kane and Timothy Hutton. That will brighten up the week except for the fact that it is the season finale so I will have to wait for reruns and then next season. He is supposed to be coming out with an album sometime this spring so that is cool too.
I have been studying for my life and health license which it the ultimate in boredom but it will help. I will then add health and life insurance to my agency it will be a bit more rounded than just P & C stuff. Maybe then I can really get it rolling so to say and get it together. I am thinking I may get back to college. I have so much trouble with math and I kind of let it stop me but I am ready to get back into it.
Well I had better sign off for now. I have to finish folding my laundry. Oh the fun, lol. Well thanks for stopping by and I will update more in a bit.

Mid week

Well here it is Wednesday and I am so glad that it is hump day cuz that means the weekend is almost here and I can stitch some more. I have been so busy at work that I haven't been able to get much done. I have even been bringing some work home with me. The stuff I bring home is mostly the crap stuff, paying office bills checking on stuff and such but it has to get done. I am thinking about my next project though. I am always thinking about the next one. I am trying to get organized and I am not doing a very good job of it. I get started and then find "something new" and get side tracked. LOL. I have stuff all over and I hate to say it but it is starting to get to me. So I know it must be bad. I am slowly getting it taken care of but it isn't an easy job for me. Well I guess I had better go get something to eat. I am a bit hungry. I hope all are well and thanks for stopping by. I will update soon.
