Stop the voices! No, wait, don’t!

Do you ever feel like your mind races at such a pace that even a cheetah would be frightened?  Seriously, that’s why I don’t sleep.  24 hours is NOT ENOUGH time in the day.  Then factor in “sleep”.  Phhhwor.   “Oh, hey, yeah, you forgot to do that thing, don’t forget, do it first thing in [...]

Orchids

I’m such a visual person it just doesn’t seem right anymore to post without a picture of some sort.  Odd….guess I need to get over that.  But in the meantime, love this orchid of mine…and the last flower just fell off for now.  Not sure how often it flowers, but hope they come back soon.

Have You Felt It?!?!

…January 8th’s class posted….as promised.   Needle felting added to your scrap projects.  In a handy dandy little wall hanging.

Mine’s a little funky, but that’s what I like.  Hopefully those of you who aren’t into fake dreads and weird little orange hats can see past that and think of something fabulous to hang on your wall.  [...]

Boxing Day

I think that’s what they call the day after Christmas.  Box up all the presents you don’t want and return them?  Or punching the relatives you didn’t enjoy?  Sounds rather negative to me.  If someone could tell me the REAL positive premise for the day I’d appreciate it. 
Yesterday was fun.  Oliver got up a [...]

HoHoHo!

We’d like to be the first to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas.  Even if you don’t celebrate, we figure Christmas is the perfect day.  MOST people have it off and most places are closed which translates into ”time with family”.  That’s what Christmas is to me.  Family day.  Love it.  Today was really great (I’m talking about [...]

Back luck today….

So quick blog as I’m about to head down finish present wrapping, play with boy, watch Christmas movies….
For anyone trying to get in touch with us, TOUGH!  Just kidding.  You’ll have to email though as the phones aren’t working.  If I had to guess, I’d say the rain in the house shorted the phone lines.  [...]

Playing with friends

So we went to play with our friends yesterday and it looked something like this…

I have no idea how I found this tonight, but I know that Oliver will enjoy it in the morning.  To see the entire silliness, click here: elf yourself.  This will pretty much be the only way you’ll see me dance [...]

Drip, Drip, Drip

Okay, so I really am trying to have a positive attitude, but sometimes it’s just TESTED.  It’s raining in my house.  Really.  In multiple locations. 
 
The picture on the right is pretty much the entire ceiling of my living room.  Well, where the ceiling meets the wall.  Cathedral ceiling, so the water could actually [...]

Big Meet of the Season!

Andy has his big wrestling meet of the season tomorrow night.  So looking forward to it.  In most wrestling meets I think I lose a couple years of my life being all tensed up trying to “help out” — yelpin’ and screaming to encourage the wrestlers and boy oh boy, I don’t know anyone who [...]

two entries in one day….cut the cord!

Okay, so I just had to post what I’d be so happy about this morning.  I surely was.  My husband is somewhat of an artist when it comes to pancakes.  You’ve never seen such a good Mikey or Sulley from Monsters, Inc.  And Star Wars things?  So good.  All I can manage to make is [...]

Snowin’ again

So I guess THIS is the big storm, not the one we had on Thursday.  I’m not sure when it’s going to be snowing until, but we have a good 8 inches here, and it’s still going strong.  So I do believe that I will not be working at the guild today.  This is sort [...]

Tabbed Fold Out Book Class Pictures

For those of you who attended my CRAZY, out of control, lack of organization, getting back in the swing of things class last Weds night, I thank you for your patience.  I’m posting pictures of the class.  If you have any questions, PLEASE email me — I am happy to go through anything with you.  [...]

Quote of the day

“Sharks don’t have bums.  They just have tails.”  How much I just do not know about the world.  Glad I have someone to help me through it.
It snowed a BOATLOAD in the East yesterday afternoon and into the night.  We got about 10 inches at our house, not sure what the rest of the world got.  [...]

Kapow is not a word in spellcheck….

…..eh, I don’t normally spellcheck anyway (like y’all didn’t notice!)….
Checking in — glad to hear that there are other dorks in the world.  I really do have a knack for NOT fitting in in whatever group I’m in.  Grown comfortable with that over the years.  It’s good to be comfortable with whatever you are.  Everything [...]

such a dork

So today I was taking a geometric tolerancing class.  Sitting in a room full of geeks (I mean this in the nicest way….I wish I was half as smart as some of the people in there.)  Anyway, managed to elicit the “YOU HAVE THREE HEADS” look like only I can, when I ask what font the teacher used [...]
