Tuesday night at the shop!

Another fun night at stitch-in! It is so much fun everyone! I really enjoy these evenings. Talking smack, cross stitching, eating M&M's, well, I didn't cheat tonight. Not one M&M for me! Not even a Mountain Dew! God, I wanted one really bad though! I drank water, and had one coffee drink!

My Valdani floss came in, so I'll be trying punch needle friends! I got the Christmas Stamp pattern from With Thy Needle! Wahoo! I love her stuff!

Market is coming up and I can't wait! New cool stuff to drool over! It's next weekend!

Last night was the 4th Annual Taste of Dacula! It was awesome! Best yet! I'm so glad that Jacob's Senior year is turning out to be the best for him! I'm trying to make sure he gets to do what he wants! I was last nights announcer with the mic, and let me tell you, I love the mic! Give me a mic and I'm happy! I would so love Karaoke! But, alas John and I will never get to do something like that together. I'd embarrass him! hahaha

I was a Drama Geek and a singer in my school years. I remember getting up and singing during our Senior Talent Show! I sang two songs! I wish I would have pursued that more!

Well, friends, it's after midnight once again! I'm hopping between Facebook and Blogger, so I'm gonna sign out!

SuperBowl Sunday!

Well, we had tons of goodies to eat, friends to see! Karen is doing this incredible huge cross stitch design. Geez! I'm such a wimp! I like smaller projects! hahaha
Market is coming up soon for the cross stitch shop. Busy, busy, busy! I myself can't wait to see all the cool new patterns and goodies. I sure hope Blackbird Designs come out for another winning monthly series! I know I'll buy them.
I'm trying to figure out how to put a picture that was taken of me on blogger from my cell phone. Gosh, I hate being a girl sometimes. (Nah!) It does make it easier to get a guy to do it for you. (yeah, yeah, I know, I'm bad! So shoot me!)
Hoping that your football team won! I voted for Peyton Manning's team. I really don't know why, just picked him, because I recognised his name. Isn't that terrible!
Have a great night!

Had my first swimming session!

Alrighty friends! I went swimming yesterday at the Collins Hill Aquatic Center. When I went in, I asked is there an old lady lap lane? I couldn't help it. I know Dr. J wants me to add low impact exercise to my weekly success story. The swimming wasn't too bad, I did manage to swim 12 laps! Wahoo!!! Now, let me tell you that I was very tired when I finished the laps, but a good kinda tired. I will need to get a snugger bathing suit if I continue, I need lots of support with the top rack. I wore my contacts so that I'd be able to see. I'd sure hate to run into somebody. There wasn't that many at the pool. It's a heated indoor pool and was very relaxing. They did tell me about Tuesday night swim is different, as they change the way the laps travel. But alas, I won't be missing my Stitch-Ins for swimming.

I did work tonight at the shop. I've been getting all our monthly automatics sent out. It's so fun getting these little packages sent out in the mail. Plus getting to see all the new cool stuff! Heaven! I'm in Heaven!

Don't forget about Super Bowl Sunday at The Stitch Store, bring your favorite snacky food to share and lets talk stitching! (No Football allowed!) Only kidding! I know many of you are big fans.

I do think that I'll get to do the Remicade after all. The Remistart Program will pay $4400.00 of the cost, so instead of $5750, it will cost us $1350.00. That's still very expensive, but I need to try it to see if it will help out. My skin rashes are coming back and my right hip is very uncomfortable. Just need to get on the schedule with the Remicade team.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! Not too cold or wet, and plans to be surrounded by friends and loved ones!

Tuesday Night Stitch-In!

Well, as usual the table was packed! I am quite enjoying these Tuesday nights! As I said to someone earlier, it's a chance for women smackdown! (You men know we talk about you!) Little Joe Joe was there keeping everyone company. I showed Terrie my Farmville, and we forgot to close it down, and Joe Joe was intently watching all my farm critters move about the farm. So funny!

Don't forget about our Sunday Football Special! We will be open on SuperBowl Sunday from 10am to 5pm. We will have snacks, feel free to drop by and spend the afternoon with us. Bring your favorite yummy to eat and let's have fun!

Here's a couple of pictures from tonights stitch-in!

As to me wanting to lose 20 pounds, I'm gonna start swimming, which will be tomorrow night, plus I'm gonna cheat and try some Dexatrim. With all my RA meds, I can't seem to lose any weight. So I'm gonna try and jump start myself! Vanity lately has gripped me something fierce. I want to stay young looking forever! So wish me luck. Plus I'm trying to drink more water! I drank 3 8oz. water bottles today! Wahoo! (I know I'm supposed to drink more than that, but Gosh! I hate the bloated feeling you get!)

Well, it's getting close to midnight once again, Farmville/checked! Petville/checked! Pictures loaded on blogger/checked!

Getting to bed on time! Not! but, hey it's worth it!

Night friends!

Tomorrow Night Stitch-In!

Hi Y'all!
Tomorrow night is stitch-in, and I'm going! Hoping to see new patterns at the shop. That's the best part, getting to see all the new stuff from Hoffman every week! Plus Market is coming up and I will be waiting to see the newest goodies that Terrie will bring back. I work Thursday and Sunday of this weekend. We are having a Super Bowl Party on Sunday. So if you'd rather hang out with us instead of the hubby and football insanity, come on down to The Stitch Store and have some fun! I'll be there, wearing my new satin shirt that I got! It's so cool!
This will be a very busy week for me, work, stitch-in, swimming, work, shop, whew! I'm looking forward to swimming. I'm gonna set a goal to lose 20 pounds. I know I can do it! I've got my eyes on something that I want and come hell or high water, I'm gonna make it mine! (Hint!)
I cheated today and had to take a nap! :(
On Facebook, someone posted that we should put our picture up when we are little, go check mine out on Facebook! I just had to show y'all mine!
Hugs,

Where've I been?

Sucked into Facebook, that's where. LOL Farmville is way to much fun, I'm trying to save up for a cat for my farm. I've been able to reconnect with old classmates and it's been great talking to them. It makes me wish..........................

I get a shot tomorrow for my hand. It better help, that's all I'm saying. I've got to dig out my swimsuit, I'm gonna start going to the indoor pool, plus dig out my contacts. I've gotta be able to see where I'm going. Since the Remicade is gonna be way too expensive to pay for, I can't afford to wipe out our savings for 1 round of meds. It's gonna cost me $5750.00. That is after insurance has paid of course. So no to that med. Bummer. So the dr. suggests low impact swimming will be good for my PsA. Heck, maybe it will help me lose some weight too. I'd love to lose 20 pounds.

I'm staying home tonight. I'm not going to the stitch-in tonight. My stomach is not happy this evening. I catch every little cold or bug from the kids at school.

Edgar, start watching your mailbox. I shipped out a prezzie to you. Michele, you too!

I've been stitching on exchanges, so no pictures!

Talk later friends!

DaisyGirl

ps:gotta check on my farm. I don't want to kill another crop! hahaha

Well, I finally did it!

I joined Facebook! Now, lets see if all those stuck up kids from high school find me. I have to admit, I didn't invite them though. most of them I couldn't stand in school anyway. hahahah
Our stitch night on Tuesday was great, we had 9 stitchers show up! Wahoo!
It's late and I've gotten sucked into the web again! Time for bed DaisyGirl!
Night!

Boo boo trigger finger!

Well friends, I am plagued by that stupid trigger finger again! :( This is the 5Th time it has reared it ugly head. I need surgery, but I will beg again for the shot just to make it subside for now. I'll be out of commission for 6 weeks. How can I stand that? I can't. I won't! So I'm hoping for relief until the summer. Before the splint was put on, I was making both Jason and Jacob massage my hand to straighten out my middle finger. It is quite painful and Motrin 800 is not helping at all. Sigh..... The doc tells me, rest, don't use it, yada yada. So we will see how it goes this week at work. Thank goodness we are off tomorrow, one more day of rest for the hand.

Look at how Boo Boo Kitty fits in that little box. Why is it that they all try so hard to sleep in something tiny like that? I know it can't be comfortable, but he looks so cute in it! No stitchy pictures today. I'm trying to work on my Easter exchange, it taking me some time though. Oh well!

Hugs for the night!

Stitching at the Shop

On Tuesdays, the shop has day or night stitch-ins. I came for the evening session. We had a blast! Let me introduce you to new friends and follow stitchers! First of is Terrie, the shop owner, and my boss! Anyone who brings chocolate for us to snack on is #1 in my book, then there's Kristine, my bosom buddy! She is a hoot! Love working with her!!! Next is Diane, who is now retired from teaching children for 35 years. Amazing! After listening to her, I wished she would have taught me math instead of Coach Albert(I flunked his Algebra class), I'm a bad person because there was one other lady, but I can't remember her name. I plead early Alzheimer's. We were there until 10pm and it was fun! So if your in GA, drop by one Tuesday night for laughs and chocolate!

I'm holding alittle bitty pin keep for Doreen at work, it was her birthday and I wanted to do alittle something nice for her. When we are paired up in the dish room, she really helps out and makes the workload manageable. I'm on the register 3 days and in the dish room the other two.

I've got my ornament stitched, just need to assemble it! I found the perfect tassel for it! Wahoo!!!!

I will soon be depositing my body in front of the fire, so friends, have a great night.

BTW, John's cousin Glendon passed away with his valiant fight with cancer. Please keep John's family in your prayers again. (Let's hope this doesn't start another year of death and gloom for us!)

Budding Designers............

Last weekend, Jacob and his pal Russell came home with fleece sweatshirts and throws. They decided that they would improvise and create a better snuggie. Let me introduce to you "Sleevies", perfectly made to fit a student's body, perfect for cold dorm rooms!

I helped sew those buggers. It's close to midnight when they say: let's sew our blankets. Well, it was fun, even though I had to re-sew Russell's sleeve arm a couple times. Hey, it was late!

We did get a snow day today. It was mostly an ice day, but it was nice not having to get up early and get out of the toasty bed. :)

I've got to work tomorrow at the cross stitch shop, so I'm getting my outfit ready tonight. I'm gonna take my camera to try and sneak some pictures for y'all!

Hugs,

DaisyGirl
