  1. I'm so glad on top of everything else, I don't have to deal with decorating a locker. One mom and daughter at open house last night were decorating her locker with fabric of some kind or paper on the walls in a loud print, and a little chandelier hanging from the top as we walked by. Is this common that girls do this?

  2. Another aspect to Isaac. Calling around to inquire on insurance rates prior to renewal for house and cars. Seems some may not be writing new policies - depends on what happens with Isaac!

  3. I am at a complete stop and watching tv, some house hunter show and they are in Knoxville! Drinking in the scenic views.

  4. Not sure if I can blame Kadie yet...but I can't find my glasses. And yes I checked on top of my head. I've got an old pair on which seem to be not so bad...till I tried to thread a needle!

  5. Scared myself with my own shadow this morning LOL!

  6. 8 minutes remaining...and now I could sleep!

  7. Wanted to take more Advil.and can't remember if I took it! Guess I just have to wait 30 more minutes and see if I'm worse or better.... That's sad LOL.

  8. I just dropped the gallon of milk in the driveway and it exploded. All over my legs, shoes. Yuck! And no milk for the boys....

  9. Loving this rainy, lazy morning!

  10. Happy New Year! The rain continued from yesterday into the night but it sure did not stop the fireworks around my house, just stopped me from being able to sit in my own wet chairs and watch LOL. Lots of unpacking for my mother on the agenda today and maybe our first meal prepared there - she's excited!

  11. YEAH! You would know the last kitchen box would have the silverware in it. Basics for bed, bath and kitchen are done at mom's. And I'm exhausted....

  12. So grateful to be home for a few hours this morning, time to enjoy a few cups of coffee and keep my knee propped up. Still have things on the agenda today... but won't have to stand for 10 hours unboxing, washing, sorting, putting away. My knee needs this break!

  13. Happy to report I climbed the stairs with full range of motion on my knee. Holding on with both hands and SLOW but I did it - woohoo! Quilted up a client quilt AND got out my UFO Desert Sky and worked on that a little last night. Ahhhh, now it feels a little more like my life again.

  14. I don't have to rush out the door for an early appt. today Yippee! But I had planned on working on taxes, bills...and entire cable, phone, internet was down when I got home yesterday evening. They can't get out till Thursday afternoon. Thankfull I have a cell phone that I can read email from. I just don't pay bills etc from my phone. And many sites are difficult to navigate. Do you bank with your phone?

  15. Silence.... I forgot that I listen to music from cable tv in my studio.

  16. So happy that internet and tv cable should be restored this evening! 4 wk check up for my knee. I'm not pleased, still swelling, pain and gimping...hope I get something encouraging from the doc that this is going to get better. And no rain today Woohoo!

  17. Cable guy found the problem pretty fast.... Neighbors had a new phone line installed and they CUT the line going to our house from the common equipment. He's having to lay new line....

  18. I'm finally at a turning point I think. I have less pain and more mobility than I have had since the first of September. Woohoo!

  19. Binding... DONE! What a chore that is. Between cleaning up your work area after making and quilting the quilt, trimming to finished size, cutting and sewing strips for binding, pressing, attaching to one side, flipping and 1000 pins later finally stitching the 2nd side. Whew. Glad that is DONE! And people wonder why we charge so much for binding.....

  20. We have had sunshine and pleasant temps the past few days and that got me thinking...Is winter over for this part of the country? Yep, I checked the average temps and it does look like the next 2 months should be my kind of weather!

  21. Second guessing my decision to work on "Fractures" today (need my set in cabinet to help with the tedious point matching). Last time was prior to IQS in November since I got to gather with quilty friends for Friday sew day, A day filled with laughter and lots of sewing fun! Taking that week off, added to oodles of quilting orders for the holidays, then my sudden knee surgery followed by moving my mom... Oh well, this quilt is calling and I best get back to work on it so I CAN be ther...

  22. Change in plans and I don't have to go anywhere this evening - woohoo! Doesn't take much to make me happy.

  23. Flight delays... rain. Hopefully the current time holds true and I'll be headed to pick up my hubby soon!

  24. It's supposed to be official (but I have had a few friends surprised)! We will be adding a GRANDSON to the growing list of grandbabies!!!!

  25. Kruiser showed up again!
