Brrrrrr,mint is blowing and wet and miserable out there. With the snow coming and the temps dropping into the 20's until Wednesday I ran out and got groceries and spent some time with Mom. Now I am staying in until Wednesday! Yesterday was interesting at work. A transformer blew and took out the power to our strip mall,…

Hello, been busy in my craft room the last two days. Had to go out for more fabric, actually just needed 3 yards total.....$65 later (after using 2 50% off and 1 60% off coupons, plus a $15 reward) I may have overshot my budget a bit today, lol. Just finished cute Jammie's for Pam. My car seat blanket was a total disaster…

Good afternoon, the sun is shining, had a nice visit with Mom, got a few more craft supplies to make some cute snowmen and while I was at Walmart I was able to figure out where to put the strap holes in my carseat blankets. I took one with me and laid it in one of the car seats on display. I made my blankets with hoods, so…

Good morning, it is cold and a bit dreary here. Have to do a grocery run and then maybe some sewing before gym at 5:30. Work was not nearly as busy and we had extra help. I had to stop myself from buying more fabric. I don't have a project for it or room to store it. My vow when I started this job was not to hoard fabric.…

Blessings to all the bright sunny Sunday. I survived another grueling 8 hours at Joanns, last one I have to do. The manager made a point of letting me know the new schedule was out and there were no 8 hour shifts on it. He is such a sweet guy. I am so pleased with all the new hires so far. He does a much better job than…

Good morning everyone, Paula, I love the idea and will go to FB next to join. You will have to be our lead on the technical stuff I think, lol. Bert, you certainly have had a busy travel quarter with your students. I am growing my hair out too and am almost past the "I can't do a thing with it" phase. However, it appears I…

quick stop. I think I have shared this before but worth repeating. The very best remedy for those nagging coughs is to mix equal parts honey and lemon juice or vinegar and take a spoonful as needed. Lovely time with Mom yesterday. I then decorated a tshirt with all the things my TRX instructor says every class to wear…

Awwww Monday, so glad I don't work them anymore, lol. Yesterday was super busy, let the holiday retail madness start. People waiting until the night before their halloween parties to get material to make a costume is just the tip of the iceberg for what is to come. Combine that with super low sale prices on fleece makes…

Good morning ladies, I made it through the 8 hours much better than I thought. I was training a new employee, a delightful and industrious 18 year old who wants to be a mortician. She was a quick study and engaging with the customers. Pretty mature compared to most of the girls I have met at that age lately. At least when…

quick thought as I drink my coffee before 8 grueling hours at work. "It is TOO A.M. for me" have a great day Patti

Good morning all, I made reasonable CHOICES for a change. Healthy egg white omelette (first in a very long time) Kind bar before my workout and a Philly Cheesesteak salad from Penn Station with my own low cal/fat dressing. TRX was a challenge and something I almost skipped because my back was hurting. Surprisingly the…

True confessions time, my eating is out of control and I don't seem to any real reason for it, other than poor planning and lack of the proper attitude. Not liking how I look and feel so am working to get my mind back where it needs to be. Nice day with Mom, then dinner with my daughter was just so relaxed and fun. We know…

Good morning ladies, I am finishing up laundry and then going to Mom's. Then dinner at Bravos and Maleficent with my daughter to celebrate her birthday which is actually Halloween. TRX was a killer, but it always is. Actually not all of it, just the core stuff. I have super strong arms and legs but the core never seems to…

Yes!!!! this is doable.

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!! So excited and happy for my granddaughter. My son is over the moon. It was a lovely reveal party with just a small complement of family and close friends. I admit I was jumping for joy. Yesterday was the Celebration. Such a beautiful tribute to a man who touched so many in his 83 years. So many told…

Hello everyone, we certainly seem to have our share of sad news and heartache right now. I have you all in my thoughts and prayers as I go through my days. Today is the Celebration and it is going to be so very hard on my gf. She has been working like a mad person to get ready and it is taking it's toll. There is no…

Diane, hope Elise is better and they found the culprit of her vomiting. Sending prayers

Thanks for the heads up Diane, I know she must be devastated. Guess my post from yesterday got lost in cyber space. It is a pretty busy week. I am helping my GF with her husbands Celebration of LIfe on Saturday. Cooking and helping set up and serve. There are lots of helping hands so it should go fairly quickly. I also am…

Another week has begun. What good choices will you make? I really need to make some better choices and start planning my meals better. I ate mostly pasta all weekend. It is my go to, comfort food and what I eat when left alone because Edd doesn't care for it. He is more of a potato/rice kinda guy. I got so much done this…

Good morning, it is crisp and cool and sunny here today. Funny how a small amount of rain yesterday evening greened up the grass. I got quite a lot done in my craft room yesterday. Still have a bit more to clear out but pleased. I found 2 all in one Epson printers and 3 broken laptops/tablets that all need to get gone. Put…

So much love and joy in such small packages.

Good morning everyone, I have had a busy couple of days. Was supposed to take Mom to eye Dr this AM but she said she hasn't slept in over a day and is just too tired to go. We rescheduled for next week. Found out yesterday that I was volunteered for the Eagle Riders dinner next Saturday. It was a miscommunication between a…

quick hi. Bert, those tiny babies are soooooo cute. happy for you all. Diane, Elise is getting so big and I know she was a big help with the boats. off to the grocery and Moms. Got a new laptop. I have been without for about 4 years. Lots to.lear. no plug and play mode, yikes! talk later Patti

Good evening, just golike back from the cabin. What a nice weekend. We got all the seats and benches taken out of the boat and stored, emptied freezers and fridges and did end of summer cleaning. Will not be back until New Years. Edd has several projects scheduled down there but I will be working. We got invited to a…

My grandson drew this design for his cousin, my granddaughter Alex. I painted it. it is similar to a tattoo on her arm, sans baby elephant. can't wait for her to see it

Bert, the boys are beautiful. I am sure Monday cannot come soon enough for you. Congrats and thank you for sharing your joy with us. Paula, you guys are sailing thru the redo. Have you checked into any assistance programs for the hvac system? My sister got hers replaced for a very reasonable rate. Hope you don't overdo in…

Bert, so excited for you and Mike. Those babies are going to be so loved. I wish I could get myself to track at all. I know I need to do it and yet I resist, lol. Diane, you amaze me with all your physical ability. I know this weekend will be an emotional one, so glad you and your sisters will be together. Got to see Leo…

just had to share the pic of my grandson and sweet Leo. I did get all my scraps sewn into the beginnings of a shower curtain. will need to get some measurements so I can put a border on and line the whole thing. my serger made fast work of it. not perfect but i love it. Bert, so exciting for you. you will be worn out…
