more mermaid progress

I didn't stitch yesterday as I love stitching with the ceiling fan light and I broke it Monday night. When I pulled the chain it turned out the lights but didn't retract back in. Scott took it apart to see if he could fix it instead of buying a whole new ceiling fan with light. This one is old. But it is fixed and I got to stitch tonight :-)
So last night was movie night with my 2 boys. We watched The Werewolf with Anthony Hopkins. We rated it a 1/5. It was boring, slow and stupid. We could not get into it at all.
I then watched General Hospital and wound more floss on bobbins. I am almost done doing that , woohoo!
I also finished reading The Choice by Nicholas Sparks. I rated that a 5/5. As with his other books you will need kleenex.
Today I watched General Hospital and wound floss on bobbins. Then a new Charlie Brown special was on so I watched that. It was cute. I also listened to a couple of chapters of Web of Evil by J.A. Jance. I have enjoyed these chapters.

So here is what I accomplished stitching on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. I really want to finish this. I started an incentive piece with Only One Ewe BB and it is supposed to be done in August and I don't think I will make it but I will stitch on that next. I am really trying to finish things that have already been started.

WIP and new TV series

I had a pretty productive day. Got home from work and did a few things online. Then sat and watched General Hospital while winding floss on bobbins. Then end is near for that.

Read for 2 hours. The Choice by Nicholas Sparks. Really good and am about 3/4 of the way through it. I also started an audiobook today. Web of Evil by J.A. Jance.

Then tonight I watched True Blood, that I had DVRd last night. A new show on TNT called Rizolli & Isles. It is based on the books by Tess Gerritsen. Angie Harmon plays the detective. Her character is pretty much like her character when she was on the Women's Murder Club based on the books by James Patterson.

So while watching those 2 shows I got in some more stitching time on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep.

SATs

Wednesday night I stitched some more on HAED SK Sunny. This is the new SAL with the HAED BB.
Thursday night I didn't stitch at all. I got out of work and took Justin to the movies. We saw the new Twilight movie, Eclipse. We enjoyed it. It was nice because neither of us want the popcorn and pop. It gets to expensive. So we ate at home afterwards. We are thinking of going to the movies every week. Just the 2 of us. We want to see The Sorcerer's Apprentice , which starts this week.

Last night was SAT with Let's Stitch Blog and Stitching Sister's Yahoo group. So I pulled out HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep and got some more done on that. I watched Wednesday, Thursday and Friday's episodes of General Hospital and then watched a movie from Netflix, Remember Me. It had Pierce Brosnan in it and the girls who plays Claire in Lost, and the actor who plays Edward in the Twilight series. Was slow at first and then it got better and the ending was a big surprise and needed kleenex.

til next month

For HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. This is how far I got today.

I got out of work early. Came home to do more organizing in the kitchen. Then cleaned out the cabinet in the bathroom. Cleaned off some of my computer desk.

Then I sat and stitched. Will pull it out next month.

General Hospital - wound floss on bobbins
Ghost Whisperer - 4/2
Smallville - 4/2
The Vampire Diaries - tonights
Supernatural - tonights

Tomorrow night I plan on stitching all night and starting Stitchy Kitty Easter Kitty Moon.

Busy wednesday

Today was my day off. My plans were to clean the kitchen, vacuum hall and bathroom. Catch up on laundry and read all blogs. I got most of the kitchen done. I didn't get to the vacuuming but I am caught up on laundry and blogs.
Then I sat down and stitched. HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. I stitched a lot on this but it is all confetti stitching so very time consuming. I do have almost the one column finished.

While stitching I managed to watch a few DVRd shows:
General Hospital - 4/5, 4/6, todays
Lost - 3/30
Vampire Diaries - 4/1
Supernatural - 4/1

Tomorrow I have to work. Then I want to stitch quite a bit more on this piece.

more HAED progress

I accomplished a little bit on HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. Yesterday I stitched on it while watching the 2 hours of 24. Then today while watching Monsters vs. Aliens (kids movie) and then Lost.
Yesterday I managed to workout with the Wii Fit plus. I could feel it when I was done. Tomorrow I think I will do the Sports Resorts. I have tomorrow off , for my day of the week to take off. I am hoping to finish the laundry and do some more cleaning. Plus organize more floss while watching some TV shows.

HAED Monday

This week is HAED SK Mermaid of the Deep. I made pretty good progress on it.
When I got home I read emails and then pulled out specialty threads to get them organized while watching General Hospital.
Then I got caught up on all the blog reading and even left quite a few comments.
I had laundry going and listened to Heat Lightning by John Sandford while stitching. Then House and 24 came on. Both good episodes.

Got into work and found out my hours have been cut. Not to bad and as of now I have Thursdays off. It won't last long though as it will get busy soon. I am also on call for Thursday until 8:45am. if I don't get called to go in then my day is mine. The main manager is still not happy at all that I take off time in October for the Pals Fall Fling. It is to busy to take time off then. My manager told me not to worry about it.

Well time to go to bed. Thanks for reading my blog and leaving comments. I appreciate it.

Mondays meanderings

I had to work by myself again since today was the funeral for my manager's dad and it is also the grandfather of my other coworker. I am not sure if they will be back tomorrow. I got home and fixed a little dinner. fried chicken and sweet mashed potatoes. I then went through all the BBs that i check, there is 4 of them. Posted a few things, checked my emaill and played Fairyland on Facebook . Then sat down and stitched.

Happy New Years

Today was stay in Pjs all day and stitch. No makeup or fixing the hair. So I gridded my fabric for my new start. That took an hour.

Then The Tournament of Roses Parade started. Hubby fixed me a cup of Stash Tea called Holiday Chai and my needle started my first start of the year :-) The parade was nice. Then I watched Ghost Whisperer from 12/4 and Medium from 12/4.
Then I pulled out my ipod and listened for a while to Justice Denied by J.A. Jance. I am enjoying this book. It is part of the J.P. Beaumont series.
We are also getting a snow storm that is supposed to last til Sunday.
This HAED piece is part of a SAL on the HAED BB. But tomorrow I have decided to stitch on M Designs Shelleen Tree Ornament. It is a SAL tomorrow on the Only One Ewe BB and this is also my incentive piece on that board.

Did everyone have a nice New years Eve? I had to work til 4. Then Hubby and I went and got munchies for the night. At 9pm our time had fireworks. It is called First Night Celebration and this is the second year that they have done this. Then we came home and then Dylan and his girlfriend, Shelbi came home for the night. We watched the ball drop and then went to bed at 12:30. Of course hugs and kisses at midnight for all of us.
