until the big wedding in Victoria. I have got to unearth my sewing machine and hem my skirt. I was not about to pay David's Bridal "$65.00 and UP." to do something I am very capable of doing myself. Still, I wish I didn't have to do it. Not that I hate sewing, just not very confident. I always seem to make the bone headed mistakes. Must hem ( Read more... )

I'm tired. The nieces are back where they belong and Sir Nicholas is in bed...not asleep yet, but in bed all the same. Yep, I think God is reinforcing it in my little pea brain that one kid is the most I can handle. 3 is more than I can watch safely ( Read more... )

and no art time in sight. I'm taking care of my nieces, along with Nicholas today. They are due to show up here in a couple of hours. I'm trying to come up with really fun things to do with them today. What to preserve my favorite Aunt status. =) The park down by our little marina is a must.....remember to bring camera! Then thought we'd go ( Read more... )

I haven't taught a Creative Memories class since Sir Nicholas appeared on the scene. Well... finally did one on Saturday and had a great time, plus it was very nice group of ladies and they bought stuff. Really, I don't care if they buy 3 stickers or an entire collections, but it's nice to have a little extra spending money from time to time. ( Read more... )

How about that for a subject line! =) Had a bit of wine after dinner and feel all warm and fuzzy. Guess I'm not going to get much done this evening.

I'm still working on my charm bracelet, but having a devil of a time with Photoshop!! I just might have to break down and buy a complete copy.... I only have a limited edition that came with a scanner ( Read more... )

Can't say anything new has been going on around here. My FIL should be going home from the hospital after open heart surgery today. He did great. We are all very relieved ( Read more... )

have the day together. DH left this morning to be with his family while his dad has open heart surgery. Saying lots of prayers here this morning that everything goes well. DH thinks he'll be home this evening, but I kind of doubt it. Why come rushing back? I'm sure his mom will appreciate having him around a bit ( Read more... )

on my lunch hour. She is much better today. Made intelligent conversation, seemed aware of her surrounding and is motivated to get back to her own apartment. Here's hoping this trend continues. Even though I understand she is not out of the woods yet, it was such a relief to see her better ( Read more... )

When DH asks if you want to work out first, always say yes! He asked me at 8 o'clock and since he usually works out for 30 minutes I figured I be on the treadmill by 8:30 or so. NOT a FREAKING chance! I didn't get on until 9:15. He just screws around and screws around before he starts his workout. It is such a little thing, but it drives me ( Read more... )

already this morning. Yeah! I thought it was supposed to rain here all weekend. Guess not. Which is fine with me. More gardening to get done in the backyard. Might even transplant a rose or two. I know, I know.....not the right time of the year, but the poor things are dying as it is, so I'm going to do it ( Read more... )
