Me
Well, I am resting, oh rest is such a good thing.
I went to the gym on yesterday morning...I know, big deal. You always go to the gym. Well, it is a big deal...I had to sneak there. I was told to rest. Well, I did rest...a little. But since I have been eating so bad this week...I had to do something.
My oatmeal raisin cookie addiction isn't the reason...it is because of pita chips and jelly beans, rather jelly belly jelly beans.
One friend received a huge...and I mean huge jar of jelly beans. She doesn't eat them so guess who got them...ME!!!! Luckily, I can't eat many at once but several times throughout the day...yeah baby. They are wonderful, better than any chocolate could ever be...oh my.
Okay...what is your little piece of heaven?? Mine is oatmeal raisin cookies and jelly belly jelly beans.
Well...gotta go. Looking at houses today...yuck!

Bad Start to My Day
I thought it was supposed to rain this morning...what happened? Well, it didn't rain so I pulled my big butt out of bed, alone, to go speed walk on the greenway. I should have stayed in bed...how many times have you said that!
Well, I get to the greenway...it is warm, like a warm shower or the bathroom after taking a warm shower. Immediately I think...oh no! Well, since we went out to dinner last night in Nashville...I knew I had to do the 5 miles and just suck it up.
Well, my legs felt like I had weights attached to them. But I continued on. Why do some people not speak...have you ever wondered that?? When I was a little girl everyone spoke to each other..Hello, how are you? If I would pass an adult and not say hello....my grandmother would look at me like I was possessed and never said a thing..but I knew I was in the wrong immediately. I think that is why I speak to everyone....manners for the old days.
Well, I continued my walk through hell...at the 1 mile mark, I feel sweat oozing down my back. Yuck, I hate to sweat! I continue on...another non-speaker but I shout....GOOD MORNING! I think I shocked him...he spoke, the first time ever. Mile 1.5 I encounter the "lovers", why oh why do you have to hold hands and walk...you could have done that in your neighborhood. This is for real exercisers not lovers. I sprint around them...heavy legs and all. Now sweat is easing down my face...my hair is totally wet. My nice pretty light blue shirt is wet with sweat....yuck, yuck and double yuck!! I even feel sweat in my underwear....gross. I hope I don't look as bad as I feel...I know I smell bad...even to me.
I make it to the turn around....only 2 more miles to go. Oops, I forgot my dollar again for the water..next time for sure.
I am on fire now...literally and exercise wise. I fly pass the lovers again...they aren't walking, they are looking at a bird or water or something nature like.....they are really grossing me out. I pass the old people. I even fly by a roller blader. The back of my shirt is soaking wet....I am burning up. Damn, the sun is out now. I turn up the music on my MP3 player....I will drown out crap with some Prince....Purple Rain is great for that.
I pass the bridge....thank you Lord I am almost back to the car...actually 0.5 miles away from the car.
Well, I made it 0.25 miles and now I can cool down....whew! That was hard, this walk is never hard. I wonder if the added humidity has something to do with it. The thermometer in the truck says it is 78 degrees outside...now , I really don't believe that at all. I made it....I stretch and get into the truck and drive to Kroger. Yes, I took my sweating, smelly self grocery shopping....we need food. Hopefully, I won't run into anyone I know....because they will get a noseful for sure.
We have done nothing this weekend but lounge. I went shoe shopping in Nashville and then the couch and I have been one all weekend long. New books, great movies and sports...I napped during most of the sporting events. Tennis and golfing ...yuck!!! Oops, I am playing golf with my uncle next week....maybe it will rain, one can only hope. Why don't my cousins learn how to play golf....idiots!
Happy days and blessings to all!

New Fabrics
Well, my work week at the dark place is over...thank you LORD! Talking about hardwork, I can't tell you how bad the past few days have been.
But enough about that...time to get to something I love.
I went to the gym this afternoon and worked out. Had to get rid of all the negative trash that was in me from the work week. I really shouldn't work extra, it truly affects who I am and how I react to people. I can't tell you how many people I have had to apologize to in past 24 hours.
My plans are to rest, shop and rest some more.
Life is great....get out and enjoy it before you can't.
Hugs,
ME

Good Morning
Good Morning All!
Well, had to say goodbye to a really good friend last night. She and her family are moving back to Texas. I will miss her greatly! Ate at her favorite restaurant ...Rosie's. I was good...I had a Salad and just a couple of chips. I guess I will see in another week if this diary entry diet is going to work. The nutritionist insist that it will.
On a good personal front...I wore my white pants and they were really loose in the hips...that is good. But the thighs continue to hold on...why, why!!!???
WEll off to the gym this AM.
Tonight I will meet with the girls for out Night out.
Have a happy safe holiday weekend. I will be at the dark place.
Happy 4th of July!!!

Lake Tahoe
Got a call today from my uncle...there is a fire in Lake Tahoe...very near our beloved home. So sad the number of homes already lost. I am praying for all affected by this fire so so sad. Trying to think of others . There are people who live there full time...this is their home, their only home. I can't imagine lossing everything, your collectibles, your underwear...everything!
Today I went to get new shoes for the Escort...always a big ordeal! Well, I now have to wait until tomorrow for the tire place to get the tires...don't they know I have to go to the dark place tomorrow????I also need a haircut. I have a nutritionist appointment tomorrow too...too much to do in one day before I have to work...yuck!
I also have lots of laundry to do plus I have to get my fat butt to the gym......so I guess no sleep for me tomorrow. Oh well, I will make it....I hope.
Have a wonderful day all!!!

Good Days....New Inspiration
New quilt....great isn't it!It is amazing the amount of time I spend doing nothing....or wasting time that I could be cleaning or organizing something.
My new hobby....gaming is beginning to take a lot of my time. First I was just playing the games, then I became a tester....the testing part is hard because you have to try to make the game crash....some are easier to crash then others. I am really shocked with some of the games I get to evaluate...what were these people thinking of. I try to give a complete and fair evaluation to all...some of those games are just bad and you really can't expect people to pay money for something you created in a day.
Now back to the sewing room clean up...not doing anything today...reading, relaxing and just plain doing nothing... did however get my fat butt to the gym. Not sure what the plan is for the night...probably more of the same. Have some DVDs that I want to watch....hope there isn't a game on....tired of sports.
Went out to dinner with friends last night.....great food, good conversation...an excellent time! Very grateful for my friends. Got bad news last night too....friend is getting divorced! Aww...just don't know what to say. I know she feels she can do better and that she is tired of living her life a certain way...but things aren't always great by yourself.

The Cold Shoulder??
My Time at the "dark place" this week is over. Not a bad place to work but sometimes it is so difficult to understand the people who work there. People say it is because there are a bunch of women working there together...I don't agree.
Cold Shoulder...well, that is when people you at one time called friends or thought of as your friend suddenly stop talking to you. Avoid eye contact with you....basically treat you like you have a communicable disease. That is what is happening to me at the "dark place". Should I worry....some say no because these people were not really your friends to start with but I will be honest with you it does hurt. It isn't a hurt that has lasted longer than a minute but it did hurt for a period of time.
I treat everyone the same....I am fair to all. I don't favor anyone and don't expect anyone to favor me. But to my friends I am true to the bitter end . Is it wrong to expect that in return?? I say no....I have two wonderful friends that I have had in my life for 20 years and 42 years respectively.....they have seen the good and bad. Been there through good me and bad me. Supported me through my psychotic breaks and breakdowns. True friends who see no color , no wrong...supporters through thick , thin and bad men, and boy have there been some bad men, Now that is friendship!
Do I feel bad about the "cold shoulder" ....sure, but will I survive? DAMN STRAIGHT! So Cold shoulder people....bring it on!!! And...get a LIFE.
Now, back to the purpose of this blog....organization. What a wonderful idea...hehe! WEll, I will have to get a move on....people coming to visit and my guest room is a total disaster AGAIN!!
Well, another thing happening....big birthday planning for the man...he has no idea what is happening and why should he since his birthday was two months ago! It is going to be so much fun.....! Friends and family flying in for the occassion....fun, fun and more fun!
Until next time...may your worries be light and your blessings be many!

I am BACK
I was thinking of waiting until next month to post again but I decided today was a great day so here I am!!!
Memorial Day 2007 marks my new year of Blogging.
Today I spent the day with my friends Lynne and Carolyn. The men folk went deep sea fishing...yippee. Taught them both how to make a crystal bracelet and we had a great dinner.
Tonight I plan to sleep...and sleep deeply.
So how is the sewing room redo going...well, I am still at it. I have started once again. I have a new large cutting table with cabinets underneath. I also have a large cabinet for fabric storage. There are three other cabinets that need to be installed but I haven't cleaned the room out enough to bring them in.
The good thing about moving things around is that I am purging the room at the same time. When I started sewing I purchased everything I thought I might ever need. Now I know myself a lot better and really don't need every new gadget that immerges.
My new hobby is beading...doesn't take up much room so that is a good thing!! But costs about the same.
Have a great day!!

Taking a Break
I am taking a break from the sewing room for now. I need to work at the dark place for the next four days and then I am free for a long time..actually only 8 days. That is if I don't change my schedule which I probably will.
Summer has arrived here and I am miserable!! Why, why, why!!
I want to move to an area that doesn't get above 75...wouldn't that be wonderful.
If anyone knows of such a place...email me the location. Also, there needs to be a dark place nearby where I can work.
Love you!

Friends and Food
Another restaurant has been visited by hungry quilters. My first and only meal of the day was just...okay. I am full and somewhat satisfied. The chips and guacamole were good and so was the salsa.
Will I visit again...maybe. There are a lot of other restaurants in the area...love the juice bar.
Take care and happy days everyone!

Greetings Everyone
I know I haven't posted in a few days...and your emails telling me that are wonderful.
Okay here goes...I worked at the dark place last week and even worked an extra day. The life was absolutely sucked out of me and it took me a full 24 hours to recover.
I haven't been in the sewing room and probably won't until later this week.
I, of course, have a new project planned and will probably start colllecting fabric on my trip home.
Yes, the sewing room is still a disaster area. No, the fairies didn't come and organize and clean everything...one can only hope.
Now, I must get back to my TV shows this is finally week after all.
Take care...and I will sew later this week..I promise.

I finally did it!
I never thought this day would come but it did. I can't get into my sewing room! Not good. Now I have to pack the entire place up and move things around to get my new sewing table in. It will be arriving next week and the guys will be here to move the table upstairs along with the cabinet.
What am I going to do!???
Well, on another note I do not have to make the quilt for B. Since he can't take it with him to school there is no rush on the quilt...hehe! Life is good.
Life is precious....celebrate every moment!

Paducah Quilt Show
Paducah was great! Lots of shopping and lots of beautiful quilts.
My friend Elaine was my shopping buddy this trip. It was her first trip...she is an amazing quilter, has a great eye for color and a wonderful conversationalist! If I ever go on " Who Wants to be a Millionaire", Elaine will be my phone a friend.
The best of show is a wonderful quilt that a picture doesn't do justice. There are 236,000 sequins on this quilt. Most of them are on the back. It is simply AMAZING!!!!
Well, my feet hurt and my purse/bank account took a beating!!! Will take a month to recover. Definitely taking lunch to "dark place" for the next two weeks!
Take care and happy days everyone!

The Trip
The big trip is near. The Annual trip to the Paducah. Ask a quilter what Paducah is and a smile will appear. We will be heading North to quilter's playground...Paducah, Kentucky.
I will walk my feet off, eat "real" kettle corn made in a kettle, and shop! I really don't plan on buying much because as my friend Carolyn says..."You, don't need anything!" I will have to keep repeating that through out the trip. Actually there are only a few items that I really want...a new quarter inch foot for my featherweight, some more thread, of course I must visit the "Fat Quarter" lady...how can she show a profit without my visit? I will also shop for patterns and fabric for ONE project....and black and white fabric...hmmm. This could be a dangerous trip!
Happy Trails Everyone!
Call me on my cell if you think of anything you want.

Quiet Evening
Since I had plans to babysit this weekend....I really didn't make any back up plans...should have done laundry today or at least sewed a stitch. Didn't do any of those things...woke up way too early and then took a long mid day nap. In other words will have to take a sleeping pill to go to sleep tonight in order not to waste my entire day!
Video kind of matches my mood but not for long will be back soon.
Take Care and be Happy Everyone...on my way back!

Saved by Two Little Boys
Every year I babysit for my dear friends as an anniversary gift. This year I received a phone call stating that I was saved. The boys have been vomiting all day. She had a feeling that it was going spread like a wildfire through the house...so I am free this weekend.
I will be quilting on infamous Brandon quilt and will hopefully have it finished by the next weekend.
Happy Quilting Everyone!
