Monday update

well DC is now a High school graduate. he will be leaving for basic training in approx 16 days. David & I both are so very proud of him.
he & Dez will be getting married in the next 2 weeks.
I am having surgery on Wednesday.
taking Kathy for treatment tomorrow (tuesday) .
gonna have to pack the suitcase tonight for the hospital on Wed. morning.
plus I still have some laundry to do. Yuck! spent most of the day yesterday (sun) doing laundry. Did get the bed sheets washed & put back on. I think most of my PJ's are now clean, so I will have plenty to take to the hospital.
I hope all have a great week.
I know I will be getting lots of stitching done, after the surgery. So maybe I can get caught up on my crazies. But I know i will have to work on the baby's quilt & bibs & get them done first. Baby's due in July!!!! can't wait

email hacked

Just to let you all know my x_stitcher71@yahoo.com account was hacked over the weekend. So if you get an email from me with nothing in the subject line, just delete it.
I wish those darned old hackers would just leave us hard working people along.
I mean I din't do anything to them, why are they trying to hack our email?
to the hackers: just leave us alone!!!!!!

weekend update

It's Monday again. where did the weekend go?
On Sat night my cousin was killed in a car accident. so this has not been a very good weekend. needless to say not much got done at my house this weekend. David did mop the kitchen for me on Sat. I was really looking forward to the super bowl, didn't half watch it either, esp with my phone ringing so much.
we are recieving friends tonight then the funeral is going to be tomorrow at 2p. please keep us in your thoughts & prayers. I think it is starting to hit me & I feel myself falling hard. I didn't sleep last night. this whole weekend my nerves have been torn up. with lead to diarrhea, now I am having problems keeping anything on my stomach. except grits. gonna go & get a milkshake

Grandbaby

went to the rag bag at lunch today & got a lap quilt to stitch for my new grandbaby, it has frogs on it. It is as cute as a button.

Name for new Escape

David & I are having a time coming up with the name for the escape .
we have 2 options- Elvis or Alcatraz(traz for short)
which one do u like better. both were my ideas Elvis was the first, but he didn't like it & I didn't like any of his suggestions. Then on Sun morning I thought of traz. I like both.
I did buy a frog statue for the garden last Friday (before we got the truck)& the frog is dressed up like Elvis in his White jump suit, the thing is cute , but if we name it Elvis I will put the frog in the truck as a mascot! lol

update

Well Monday was my Birthday. I got Season 5 & 6 of The Closer on DVD. So now I have more to watch after surgery.lol
also Kathy (sis-in-law got results from echocardiogram--NO damage done to her heart & the bone scan showed the cancer is reducing in her bones. SO treatment is working & they are going to keep her rolling with that. So My birthday was truely special.
Plus the Ford Escape was offically ours on Monday too. YEAH!!!!!!!! I do love that truck.
now we are looking for a name for her: at first I told David we should name it ELvis, which he didn't like, now he likes it. Then I thought about Alcatraz - call it traz for short. SO what do u guys think? Enquiring minds want to know.
Crazy Jan 2012 Challenge I did offical have 22 starts in Jan, plus I found a UFO that I want to complete, so that is 23 projects. But I will be starting more because I will be out for surgery In Feb actually surgery is schelduled for Feb 29, I will be out of work for 6-8 weeks. So lots of stitching time.
