- I'm crocheting like crazy, but can't tell you what, and if you know, shhhhhhhhhhh. She reads here! But I'm nearly done!
- Then I'll get back to my custom embroidery, and work on that like crazy. Again, I can't tell, and if you know, shhhhh. She reads here too!! 2009- The Year of the Craft!!
- Yesterday I finally got over it and sewed up the hole(s) in my couch. Since Heidi got a 2nd chance at life, I decided I should forgive her. I sharpied the remaining white stuffing you could see and got over it. Not bad.
- I've read a dozen books since the beginning of the year. And have about 20 more going (give or take)
- I'm reading the New Testament. I never had. I'm 1/2 way through Matthew. Great read.
- Last week (Thurs) we went to Chattanooga for Peanut's B-day. GREAT time. I have pics. I'll post soon.
- Today I went antiquing and thrifting with Mom to celebrate her b-day. Again- Great fun!!
- Yesterday- after getting inspired from a few blogs I like- (scope out my sidebar links) I re-arranged the living room, brought some of the girls things down to make it more of a family room, and tidied up the loft. NICE.
- In the Frugal February tradition, I've done some frugal shopping. more on this to come. (although I realize to be BETTER being frugal would mean NO shopping.)
- I spent about 4 billion hours this weekend figuring out our curriculum for the rest of THIS year (how much I have to do a week to be where I want us to be in June.) We'll see how the new streamlined system works starting tomorrow.
- My AWESOME hubby, Mr. Incredible, put me in a phone in the basement so I won't kill myself doing the 50 yard/ 100 barbie dash anymore. It's weird to have 2 phones ring after a year with one phone.
- my lettuce is up. I'm micro managing it.
- I regularly sing to my front porch chicken, Lucille. "you picked a fine time to leave me, Luuuucilleeeeee!!" (she likes it, and sings back I think.) Her foot injury seems to be healing and I think she'll be back in general population soon.
- I'm practicing a song for church. F's are NOT my friend. At least there's only 2 of them.
- I cleaned out my scrapbook armoire, organized it and used the stuff to start a new farm/ garden journal. Third time's a charm???
- I'm still trying to study for a CLEP. Not very successfully, since the lectures I want to watch are streaming video. NOT sattelite friendly.
- I'm trying to keep my housework under control. And the dreaded dishes.
- Doing more cooking & baking. not eating out means I must cook. But Mr. I made dinner tonight. Isn't he GREAT!!!
- I spend tons of time thinking about/ praying for my friends and everything they have going on, and then never call anyone. For the two of you who called ME today. THANK YOU! It made my day. Sorry I'm a crappy friend. It's terminal, I'm afraid.
- allergy season means my lungs feel crappy. alas, my asthma meds make me psycho grouchy. grr. Sorry to all affected by that. darned trees!!
- planning stacked stone garden beds in my head. Making them a reality involves stacking stone (and hauling it out of the woods...) but that goes with...
- my attempt to get 15- 30 minutes of good physical labor induced exercise a day, which has led to
- the loss of 5 lbs.
I'm sure there's more. I eat, sleep (a little anyway) and shower in there somewhere. I've become a compulsive library patron. So many books, so little time... (sigh_) Now I must follow my sleepy hubby to bed. Thanks for attempting to decipher my ramblings. Peace~
