Catching up

I have been stitching and had a pretty busy weekend.
Dylan came home Friday night and then spent the night at his girlfriend's house. Ended up getting bit by something. We were all at a Grad party and showed me his bit. Wasn't to bad but by Saturday night it was all swollen and red so we took him to the ER. They took lots of blood and hooked him up with saline and antibiotics. Told us he had blood poisoning. Late morning it got worse so we took him back to the ER. They drew more blood and informed us they didn't test the blood the night before. He does not have blood poisoning but an infection on the skin. Bunch of idiots. So they wouldn't allow him to drive for 6 hours, back to PA and he is to keep his leg elevated for a couple of days. So he couldn't go back to school this week. Today his leg looks pretty good and keeps taking his antibiotics and ibuprofen.

I did manage to get in some stitching time.
HAED Rapunzel

And yesterday I stitched on LK Halloween Rules

We found a car for Dylan. It is a '95 Riviera and is in really good shape. Not to bad on miles and Dylan knows the owner. He will have it on Friday.
I will post more tonight on what I am stitching on. UFO The Cross Stitcher - Joan Elliott Christmas Angel. I will stitch on this instead of Christmas ornaments, every month, until done. I have sooo many ornament stitched up that need to be made into ornaments and what a good way to commemorate Christmas every month plus finish a UFO :-)

Thank you everyone for all the comments you have been leaving, I appreciate it so much.

HAED and Halloween

So where do I start since my last post. Thursday I got out of work at noon, went home to do some laundry and do things online before going to WW. BIG change of plans. Dylan called at 2:30 and said he was on his way home, from PA, and his car had smoke coming out of it. He was an hour from his apartment but was going to try and make it home. Not to long after that his car died, transmission went. We just put in almost 2 grand to keep this car running and with new struts. Hoping it would last him til December. No such luck. So I had to go and get him. 5 hours later and signing the title and giving the car to the tow truck company, because we had no way to get it back here, Dylan starts driving us here. We didn't get home til 3:30am Friday. No sleep. I called into work and explained the situation and needing to see if we could get a loan and I had things to do at the DMV. Anyways, no loans because Dylans school loans are in my name and Scott can't get a loan because he has his truck loan, Justin's car loan and cosigned for my car loan. So guess who has my car in PA? We are hoping something will come up in a week or 2 and we will be able to get him something.

Saturday was mine and Scott's 23rd anniversary and we didn't have money to go out. So I asked Scott to take me to a place I have been wanting to go to. The Rochester Public Market. OMG! I fell in love and spent and saved money on everything from produce to meat and seafood. I bought Scott a Delmonico steak, as he loves them. That was his anniversary gift from me.

Then we came home and we had to get ready to go and take care of his parents. Had a cookout and I made a fresh salad. Stitched on HAED Rapunzel

Sunday was hot and humid so I told Dylan if we are going to get groceries then lets leave early. So got that all done. He went and visited with some friends before going back to PA and was taking his girlfriend, with my car.

Sat in the A/C family room and pulled out my new Halloween Start called Lizzie Kate Halloween Rules. I love Lizzie Kate and can't wait to stitch on this again on Sunday.

I also have started a LK Halloween Rules Blog SAL. If you are interested please email me needeleratgmaildotcom

Today Justin informed me that he is moving back home this week. Well ok then, sooner than I thought but of course he is welcomed back home.
I stiched some more of HAED Rapunzel but the above pic also includes the little bit that I did.
Yesterday and tonight I got caught up on Live With Regis and Kelly, General Hospital and the last 3 episodes of Oprah. Plus last night I watched True Blood, and Falling Skies.

Well good night everyone, hope I didn't bore you to much. Will try to post more progress on Rapunzel, tomorrow.

A WIP and a finish

I had a hair appointment today and also got my eyebrows done. I was scaring people thinking I had a Caterpillar on my forehead.
Came home and stitched for quite a bit on Happy Halloween by RoseMary Peddie

I watched a couple of Christmas shows like Rudolph's Shiny New Year and Twas The Night Before Christmas. Then I watched 2 movies. Home By Christmas - Lifetime movie. The Time Traveler's Wife-awesome!!

I finished up the Tinkerbell bookmark as well.

 Dylan also was home for the weekend. And brought a friend from school, who is from New Jersey. They seemed to have a great time. I haven't cooked big meals in a long time. Usually it is just Justin and I that eat here. Scott always orders out or we go somewheres to eat, on the weekends. Dylan has class on the 23rd and then has off til January 3. So he will be home the whole time.

Thank you all for the comments that you leave. They mean a lot to me.

(((hugs)))

a week has gone by

without any posting. I just haven't felt like it. I did finish an ornament. LHN Winter Sampler from the JCS 2009 Ornament issue.

Then I finished a RR square for Gis

Thanksgiving was great and Dylan came home.
The weekend was for movies and stitching. I watched a lot of movies including all 6 Star Wars movies.
Then we dropped Dylan off an hour away from us. He had ridden with a school friend. He got back to college. yesterday his 2 friends(roommates) dropped out of school and then moved out of the apartment today and had to pay a big fee for canceling the rent. Now Dylan is stuck and has to be out of the apartment like maybe this weekend. He has no job and does not want to lose the opportunity of this school. I am sitting here 6 hours away in tears because these 2 boys left him high and dry. He can't afford rent on his own and I don't have the money to get to him til next weekend. I am so angry that the boys just left him hanging. They moved out today, while Dylan was in school. I have no idea if they took any of his stuff or what happened to his cat, which is an indoor cat, while moving things out. Scott and I are taking the cat home with us, next weekend. But what do I do if he has to be out this weekend? I am so scared for him. They also expect him to pay December's rent but no way should we pay when he can't stay and they did this. What is wrong with people. He went to high school with these boys. So please keep us in your prayers and that Dylan can move in with some kids this week. This has all happened since yesterday morning. I am numb!

Friday SAT

Tonight was Friday SAT and I stitched quite a bit on Cat-O-Lantern. Loving this piece and hope to finish it this weekend.
This week I also finished my first Zentagle. It was a lot of fun and took me back to my teenage years.

Tonight's TV viewing:
General Hospital - 10/7 , 10/8
Medium
Smallville - 10/1

Tomorrow will be a busy day. I have my bookcross meeting at Lovin' Cup and Scott is going with me so we can get him a new cell phone. The volume is going in his. Then I can buy 2 shelves and the brackets. Hoping to get some magazine holders as well.

Dylan txt me tonight and he is doing well in UTI. They have what is called phases every 3 weeks and they graduate every 3 weeks. Well last Friday he was done with his first phase and has a GPA of 4.0, woohoo! I am so proud of him.

finished the exchange piece

I haven't had much to say. I didn't stitch for a couple of days so today I vowed to finish the exchange and I just did, a few minutes ago.

Sunday is my grocery shopping day and Dylan usually goes with me. So today was our last day to do this as he moves next Saturday. I am excited for him but nervous at the same time. My baby is leaving us, to go to school, out of state, for 18 months.

I pulled out my stitching and got caught up on General Hospital. Can't believe what the tramp did , on Friday. If you watch it then you know who I mean. I also watched tonight's episode of True Blood. The season finale is in 2 weeks.

Not much else going on.

sorry I have been MIA

I have been missing and wanted to check in. I have been busy with Dylan (18 year old son). He got accepted at UTI in Exton, PA and will be moving there in September. His prom was a few weeks ago and graduation is June 27. Plus my car broke and was going to cost to much money and after 2 weeks of car shopping I found one that I love. I haven't stitched in a few weeks because of all this plus playing Sims3 non stop. I am trying to get back into a routine again.

So the '99 Cougar is for sale and I bought a 2007 Scion tC. Has a moon roof, spoiler and is Black Cherry Pearl. Very pretty and very fun to drive. I still have to take pics to post. I also will post pics of Dylan's prom.

Tonight was the first time in about a month that I sat and stitched. It is for a RR so no pics but hey at least I stitched on something.
I also watched the season finales of The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural. They were on the DVR. I still have to watch Smallville and 24. I may do that tomorrow night while doing a SAT (stitch a thon)

I promise to TRY and post more often. I have a LOT of reading of blogs to do and may just have to skim through them til I am caught up. I will read them all though. Supposed to rain most of the weekend so that will be a good idea for the weekend.

Well now that I have done everything that I planned on I can play Sims3 for the rest of the night :-)

a finish and a new start

I finished the bookmark that is for an exchange so no pic.
I have been wanting to start a HAED (Heaven And Earth Design) for a long time. Well I printed a freebie and then bought the fabric. This is Aurora's Garden.



I watched a movie today: Yes Man with Jim Carrey. Pretty good. Tonight's TV show was Desperate Housewives , which I enjoyed.

Tomorrow I will be stitching on TW The Storyteller. Connie read about my stitching this and she wanted to stitch with me for motivation. She doesn't have a blog but I will post my progress.

Oh yeah and Dylan started stitching his mythical creature. I basted the first page border. He thinks he can do one square (10x10) a day. I am not so sure if he can do that but we will see.
I will post pics of that when I get a chance.
