Look at my BlackBird Design Exchange that I got!

Wow! What an awesome piece! And all for me! It even has my initial on it! So everyone knows it belongs to me! It is beautiful and I'm thrilled beyond words! She made it at a Blackbirds Design workshop! To be able to meet them would be a dream come true for me! Plus the handmade card! I've got to find that and post that picture too!

Been so busy, joined a gym, exercising my booty off! I'm down to a size 12 or 14 depending on the cut! Thrilled with that, gonna try to get to size 10/12 next!

Down to 13 more days left in school! Yes! We need a break!

Well, gotta hit the hay! Since we are so short staffed at school, I'm having to go in and help with breakfast, so I'm kinda tired!

Sad news..........

I just found out today that one of my stitching girlfriends passed away the other day. She was only 57. It is heartbreaking news as Laurie was the sweetest woman that I've ever met. She was always smiling and never fussed or complained, I will miss her at our stitching luncheons and I'm asking all to pray for her husband. It's gonna be tough since they had just recently lost their son, and now he has lost his wife. Please keep Jeff in your prayers.


I worked at the shop today and since I hadn't been there in over a month due to my kidney surgery, I got to see all the new stuff that had gotten delivered! My goody bag was full tonight when I came home! Y'all call the shop if you need something and I'll get it out in the mail!
Hugs my friends!

Hot Momma in her new car!

New 2010 Dodge Avenger! Love it! Awesome stereo too!

Unbelieveable!

Ya'll are not gonna believe how much my insurance rate raised! $758.00 Just because of Jason wrecking my car! Hell, if I'd of known that, I'd of said I was driving and I swerved to miss the deer! Yikes! Jason of course now needs to go and get a job to help pay for car insurance if he wants to continue to drive our vehicles! I just think it's a major rip off!We haven't had a claim in over 7 years! Thanks alot Metlife! Snoopy needs to go bite their leg! lol
On to other news: on Halloween, we had to admit my Momma to the hospital. She has COPD and Diabetes, so we were kinda worried when she told us her chest was hurting, I feared congestive heart failure, as that does run in our family, they are not yet clear about why she is experiencing that. She says it feels like a concrete block is sitting on her chest. Then the sensation goes away, but comes back, not constant, but it makes me worry. So, I'm going back up to the hospital tomorrow to visit my mommy again. All prayers would be appreciated!
Plus John's Momma had a TIA last weekend! It has been a roller coaster ride over at our house!
Can't wait till things start to calm down!
More tomorrow!

Halloween! Car news!

I'm not sure whether I'll get trick or treaters tonight or tomorrow night! So, I'm ready and set up to pass out candy!
I hope everyone has a safe weekend! Be careful!

Now on to exciting news! Many of you didn't know that Jason totalled my car last week, so we have been on the hunt for me a new one! I hate having to get a new car, I was 8 months left paying on the the Focus! Guess who gets to start over! Wahoo!

But, this is the car I'm looking for! A Dodge Avenger! Very sporty and we are going car shopping tomorrow.

I'll let all know what I decide on! There are just way too many cars to choose from :)

Happy Halloween Friends!

Crawling out from under the covers..........

Since Oct.13, I have been in and out of the hospital, I've got a whopper of a kidney stone that decided to rear it's ugly head. I used a new group of doctors and let's just say I will not be returning to them. What a nightmare!

I'm at 3 surgeries right now, no stone has emerged and it's the 23rd already. :( I just had the stent removed and they managed to rip every part of my urethra. Of course I didn't feel anything until the numbing meds wore off and then the pain from hell attacked me. Johnny took me back to the ER to find out what was going on. Geez, all I want is to feel better. When I woke up from my 2nd. surgery, they had my IV in my neck! Geez! I know I'm a hard stick, but come on, my neck?!

Sorry that I don't have any decent pictures! I look horrible! The vain one!

I'm planning on trying to go back to school later this week, just hoping that I can pass the stone soon! Who ever invented kidney stones needs to be shot!

As soon as my exchange partner gets her Halloween ornament, I'll post pictures!

I'm missing visiting my blogging buddies! Hope to at least be awake more today!

Hugs,

No luck on the pinkeep yet.....

Terrie is gonna order the Blackbird Designs "Harvest pinkeep" so I'm excited to hopefully get it by next week! I stopped by the shop today to visit and met a new lady named Donna! We are just so popular! lol She also wanted the pinkeep too! She signed up for the Blackbird monthly program that I send out to customers!

I had a fun evening, even though John says I'm terribly expensive to keep up! lol I said I was worth every penny and hey, it's cheaper than divorce!

We went out to eat at El Jinete, then we went to the bowling alley and bowled a couple games, of which I lost! Plus we played some arcade games, had a few drinks and then I drove us home! I've got to find a couple who we can do things together with, make it more fun and exciting! I'm very competitive, and I'm a hand full I know! Everytime he missed, I was hooting and cheering! I know, I'm terrible aren't I! But, it was alot of fun and I can't wait to go again! Next time, we won't eat mexican, we can just eat appetizers at the bowling alley! John was so stuffed! I was smart and didn't eat too much!

Hoping everyone has a great weekend!

Hugs,

Donna

ps: I had a cute picture of me bowling, but John did not save it! I need to show him how to use his phone! lol

More pictures from the vain one! lol

Can't wait to show off my new outfit tomorrow! Black jeans and a leather jacket! Sizzle! Hot Momma!

I've plans to drop by the shop tomorrow to check on Harvest pinkeep from Blackbird Designs! Cross my fingers!

I'm so glad it's Friday! I have a 3 day weekend and I'm planning on partying tomorrow night! I've talked John into hopefully taking me out for drinks and to go bowling! Haven't bowled in a coons age! So we will see how I do! It is terribly late so I need to get some sleep!

I've met a new friend today, hi Sandy! Don't work to hard today!

Night y'all!

Donna

Not alot going on just yet.....

I've been very busy, we have been short staffed plus our boss has been let go, so it's been a friggin nightmare at work! It needs to hurry up and get better, we all have just about worked ourselves sick!

I'm working on exchanges, so no pictures of stitchy goodness! I need to call the shop and see if the new Blackbird Designs reward of merit pattern is in! I want that one for sure!

I've good news.....I'm gonna be an aunt! My niece Tiffany is having a baby girl! I'm very excited about this news! Girl stuff is so much more cuter to buy for! The baby is due in Feb. 2011 so I gotta put on the cross stitch burn to get some presents made!

Hoping everyone is having a great week so far!

I hope most of you went over to Edgar's blog and wished him a happy birthday! I know I did! Plus I've got to get a little package sent to him! I'm terribly behind as usual!

I'll leave a picture of me instead! This is me after my evening exercise! I'm walking 1 hour a day now, I walk for the most part very fast, then I sprint the last leg of my route home! Whew! I used to jog when I was younger, but gosh I'm totally wiped out by my hour!

Hugs,

DaisyGirl

What a weekend!

All I can say is FABULOUS!!!!!!!

I worked at The Stitch Store on Saturday, so I was able to get my stitchy goodness in! hahahaha

I've got some pictures of our Halloween area and our new mascot "Sybiliciousness!" Terrie took my picture of our girl scarecrow that Sybil bought for the shop! Love her! Call the shop if you need anything from the Fall Market! I can't wait till we start to get all the new patterns and cool stitchy gifts!

As to stitching, I'm working on my Halloween Exchange so I guess I can't really show that picture. But do enjoy the pictures from Saturday!

Tomorrow is my next IV treatment, so wish the nurse luck so she doesn't have to stick me more than 5 times! Yikes to that!

Well, I'm off to stitch my friends!

Hugs,

DaisyGirl

ps: The wind was blowing something fierce outside on Saturday! I'm so glad Fall is here!

Gosh! Where does the days go???

Hello friends! Father Time does not stop for anyone! I can hardly believe it's been 3 weeks since my last post. Life seems to get in the way most days lately. I've been busy with school, family and The Stitch Store. I'm saddened to say that our Monday night stitch-ins are stopping due to the fact that poor Terrie has to work a second job. I hope that Terrie doesn't overdo and gets sick. I do know that it takes money to keep a shop going and it's very expensive for her. So please, if you need anything, just give the shop a call or email or visit the shop http://www.stitchstore.net/ for your cross stitch needs or desires.

We did have our Saturday luncheon at the shop and it was a fun filled Saturday with friends. Terrie had a training to attend too, so it was Kenneth and me! We did pretty good I think! Check the shop website for pictures of our Chinese exchange! I almost stole Diane's package for Terrie since it had a Starbucks gift card in it, but I was a sweetie and didn't! Sorry Terrie, but I hope you liked the giftie I chose for you!

I've been working on several projects, plus waiting on my new exchange partners' names for upcoming exchanges! Exchanges are so much fun! With Fall in the air, I must get a move on it to complete a bunch of presents!

Many of you all know that Jacob was unable to afford Berry, so we postponed until the Winter semester, well, it's that time again, so here we go again! We are applying to a couple new schools that he has expressed and interest in, so we will be visiting schools again! This time it will have to be a state school so that the tuition will be covered by the Hope Scholarship. Cross our fingers friends! January will be here before I'm ready!

I'm hoping that we are able to go to the fair this weekend! I love going and walking around smelling the foods and seeing the farm critters and crafts exhibit. I'm off this weekend so I've got my fingers crossed that we can go!

I'll leave everyone with a small quote and a hug!

"Life may seem to hurry your days away, but try to remember to enjoy each moment that you have!"
