Quick post

My brother and my two nieces are visiting so I have not had a chance to post anything. Not much news anyway, just visiting with family. I am still working on posting pictures and will try to get that done this week...

First day down, about a gazillion to go...

Today was the first day of the semester. While my semester is really light compared to normal, the first two weeks are always tedious. My classes seem to get bigger and bigger every semester, I guess that is a good thing!

I finished AJ's Harry Potter scarf while I watched TU destroy Bowling Green, what an awesome game it was. Now if it would only get cold enough for him to use the scarf...I know the cold will be here soon.

My brother and my nieces are coming out for a visit this weekend so no stitching for me...only cleaning and more cleaning. I am ready to work on my angel. I really have to do something about the light in my living room. I can't see the squares on the linen in that room so I have to stay confined to my room.

Well, off to bed. Have a great day. I promise to get some pics up soon.

Decisions...Decisions

After looking for months and months and scrounging through magazines, we have finally found our flooring and our colors! We had decided with travertine for the kitchen but when we laid it out we did not like it. So, we decided to with the wood throughout the downstairs. The decor for the kitchen is going to be country staying inline with the greens and reds we already have (and my new teapot-which I L O V E). We are almost finished in the front bathroom...only flooring, molding and the new faucet left.

I haven't worked on any of my craft stuff but have to finish AJ's scarf so I can focus on my SAL. I am determined to get one of Greysons angels done and start another one. My scrapping is in the pits, I haven't scrapped in forever. I just don't enjoy it right now and haven't for sometime.

Well, off to watch a Jerry Lewis movie or box depending on which kid wins the argument...

Final Day

Well, today is the last day of my break and it is going to be spent running all over the place for dr. appts, hair appts and all that. Yesterday was supposed to be my day to what I wanted and I did for about 2 hours in the afternoon. I was able to read some of my new book...the new one by Seve Berry. He is becoming one of my favorite authors.

The kids all had a good day back to school yesterday. DD schedule got messed up and she didn't get into her law class since it conflicted with her honors history class. She wound up in sociology. She also has all coaches for teachers, her math is mostly the football team and ironically the teacher is the football coach...hmmmmmm?

Well, I am off to start running my day off. I am getting my hair done today so I can get rid of the "anti-skunk hair" as my dd calls it. I hope to post a couple of christmas pix sometime today...notice I said hope!

2008? WOW!

I can't believe that I have not posted for months. I hope to do a better job of keeping up with everthing. I am also using this site for my SAL so I will be posting some pictures as I go (assuming I can figure it out).

For now, I hope you all had a great holiday and looking forward to the New Year!
God Bless.

Back to school AKA work!

I can't belive how fast my spring break went by. I only had 1 day of doing nothing and for the life of me I can't tell you what I did do!! The bright side is I am past the midpoint for the semester so it's all downhill now.
I started my second cake course last week. This one is Fondant and Gumpaste (sounds yummy, huh?) It is easier to do than buttercream! I actually like the look more. We have to "design and create" a cake for our last class. I will post pictures once I decide what to do. I am not sure if I want to keep going in April or take a month off. I have to have physical therapy on my right shoulder/arm (and lower back) so it hurts to do too much right now. If the pt doesn't work, I have to have surgery. Needless to say, I do NOT want to do that so I am really "babying" my arm.
I guess that's all for now...

Spring Break!!!

Finally!! I didn't think this weekend would ever get here. I am posting some pictures of AJ and my class projects. We are heading out to the observatory to watch the lunar eclipse tonight. I hope you all have a great weekend.
