My First Game Board Sampler Square!

Well, finally finished my first block today. I'll stitch the flower next. Posting the picture first though. Couldn't contain myself. Sometimes I waste more time online than stitching. It has been a quiet Saturday so far. We are gonna grill out some steaks and then later tonight we are gonna go see the movie "Wild Hogs" It looks like it will be funny. Hope it is. My hopefully soon to be nephew in law gave us the tickets. He's a good guy, he just needs to hurry up and ask Tiffy to marry him! (Is that too much to ask?) haha.
Well, gonna go stitch awhile, I am not in demand by the crew at this moment. :)

It's Friday!!!!

So glad for Friday. No school for a whole week. I plan to do nothing for at least 2 of those days. I want to rest and stitch. I am kinda behind on my Santa SAL. I spent most of my month on my exchanges. So need to get back into the swing of stitching again. Been working on my Game Board Sampler. Hope to have my first 2 squares done tomorrow. Will post them later.
Jason's semi-girlfriend Anglyn will be graduating this spring so I need to get started on her a little sampler. I personally like her more than Casey, but she is one year older than Jason, so they are just friends.
Jacob will turn 15 this coming Tuesday. He hasn't really decided what he wants yet. I know what he wants, but a new wood clarinet is around $3000. dollars. Before I sink that kind of money, I really need to make sure he will be willing to shoot for the music scholarship. His clarinet that he has now cost us about $1500. Wood will be better for sound quality, but his private music teacher informed us we should wait till college to purchase the wood one. Tell that to Jacob though.
Well, Daisy my kitty needs alot of cuddling right now, so I will post more on Saturday.

I made a big boo-boo!

I am such a blond! haha To my exchange partners, the candy that was pictured will not be what you get! I'm so sorry. I wasn't thinking about the fact the candy melts in the car during the day. It got up to 82 degrees today! So, when I got to the post office to mail my goodies, I realized that your yummy candies had melted. I changed your candy. I feel so dumb. Oh well, donna moment. You have to realize that this stuff kinda happens to me. I forget things all the time. My husband says I'd lose my head if it wasn't attached to my body.
My Wicked CD came! I am thrilled to have the music to sing along too! That was the best musical yet!
Jason will be getting ready to volunteer for 6 months at the library to earn his Eagle Scout award. I am just so glad he changed his mind. He wanted to quit. He'd earned the merit badges and ranks to achieve Eagle, just got tired with going to scouts every week since he was in 1st grade I guess. Glad he decided to finish.
Well, I promised to make meatloaf tonight, so gonna get started.

Hi Michelle and Hi Vonna!

So glad you stopped by. It's wonderful to make new friends. Michelle, what's your blog name? I'd love to visit you.
Tomorrow is hump day! Spring break almost here. I had to do a presentation this morning at the faculty meeting. I feel it went good. I had only made 75 copies and realized I needed more, but the teachers were good natured about my oops. I am the Team Leader for Nutrition at our school. April's theme is Fit for Fiber! trying to get kids to try whole grains is harder than I thought. My boss wants me to be a assistant manager in the cafeteria. I'm torn, I'm not sure if I'm a strong leader. You need to be able to be a boss, I'm bossy at home, but kinda meek at work. haha

This is what I sent to my exchange partners. I sure hope that they like my stuff I send them. I hope my stitching is fine enough. I've been working on my Game Board Sampler, I really like it. I also got the Drawn Thread Halloween design, I can't wait to stitch it also!

Until later!

It was a beautiful day!

Sunday dawned a glorious sunny day to enjoy. I did what I wanted. Only a few chores needed done, cross stitched some, finished assembling my spring exchange. It is drying as I type. The little chick legs that is. I was window shopping at Mary Kathryn's shop today. I want to order from her as soon as I get paid. What is paypal? Never done it before.
She has PS Fairy charts. I want them badly! Come on the end of the month! That's when I get paid.
Spring break for us is in one week from now. I am so ready for it! After spring break, all the whole school starts counting down! All the teachers get happy, the staff gets happy! The cafeteria ladies are thrilled! Can't wait! Summertime!
I would love to be able to respond to people that visit my blog. I already know Vonna! Like that girl alot. She looks happy in her blog picture with her family. If you visit, let me know your blog so I can visit you!
Anna,
I'm sending out my exchanges on Tuesday! Yahoo! Let's do this again real soon!
Until tomorrow!

Pictures of Important Stuff!




Busy Saturday!

Thank you all for worrying about my doggy! He is better!
I slept in till 9:30 this morning! It was wonderful! But, I had to get up, couldn't lay in bed any longer, wanted too, but I did finally get up. Brutus my dog sleeps with us every night, as does my cats. My hubby says they hog the bed, they love me and want to me next to me!
Visited my momma today to see how she was recovering, poor dear was still sore. I assured her that her mouth will heal quickly. I showed her our NY pictures, told her we had a great time.
Johnny took me out to eat at red Lobster this evening, yummy for my tummy! I love Red Lobster. after that we decided to add our two teen boys to our cell phone family plan. My boys are besides themselves, they now have a cell phone. Please don't let them use more of the minutes then they have! I have hesitated to add them because of fear of nightmarish cell phone bill. Time will tell.
Christmas exchange looks great, spring exchange will be assembled tomorrow on Sunday. Picture for that one tomorrow. I will post the final pictures before I mail them. I have to add a couple little goodies to the stocking.
Until later!

One Day to Go!

Tomorrow's Friday! Thank goodness. I am so tired. I still haven't gotten my schedule back in order. My momma is under the weather, she had her tooth pulled. At least her mouth will not hurt anymore. I have already finished my grocery buying for the week. So hopefully I can have a weekend at home relaxing. I have finished my spring exchange. I will be putting it together to get in the mail.
I hope that nobody had that bad dog food, my doggy Brutus did get sick with some of the food. I had purchased Ol'Roy pouch dog food, he threw up so much that I had to pitch out my rug in front of the fireplace. the vet thought he had eaten something out in the back yard that made him sick. Now we know why he was sick, bad dog food, I threw out 3 pouches of food yesterday. So hope no one's puppy or kitty got sick.
I plan to post my exchange pictures this weekend. Yeah, I hope the ladies like what I did. I need to get ready for bed, boss called, needs me to go in early tomorrow.
Till later,

I need time to stitch.....

My goal for Thursday is to stitch when I get home from work. I am almost finished with my spring exchange. Yeah! I didn't even have time today, well, I guess I could have not posted and stitched, but I love blogging. Plus Survivor was on tonight. Poor Anthony got voted off. They should have got rid of Rocky. Tune in next week!
I'm hoping that John and I can go out to eat this weekend at Red Lobster. Fingers crossed!
My assistant manager at school is not gonna be returning next year. I wonder who we will get? I hope someone nice.
I have flowers sneaking through my flower bed. I filled my birds feeder this afternoon. I've been humming the songs from Wicked all day. Can't wait to get my CD. I still am in awe over that musical. It kinda makes me wish that I had tried to make it in NY when I was 18. I had just placed third in state for voice at a college meet,I really wanted to go to NY and perform, I wished I had more confidence in my voice to go. But, then I'd have never met my hubby. Life is bittersweet sometimes. I still sing at church and every chance I get.
Till tomorrow!

Where have I been?

  Life certainly doesn’t stop, does it?  I have missed my blog, yet I wasn’t such a great steward of it these past long years. I was sucked ...
