weekend update

Friday night DH took me out for prime rib. Then he had to go into work. I ended up watching Grimm while finishing gridding on HAED SK Sunny.
Saturday I went to my LNS because I needed CC Blackbird. I needed more to finish LK Halloween Rules. But as always, she was out of what I needed. She always is. So I ended up ordering what I need for the rest of this years projects, online.
So Saturday I stitched on HAED SK Sunny

I am enjoying working with the bright colors.
















Then today I pulled out JCS Halloween Collection, Brittercup Halloween Tree. I started it January 1 as part of the Crazy January Challenge. Not much left to stitch on this.

Maybe I will finish this next Sunday.














Tonight I watched Once Upon A Time and then Desperate Housewives.
I did listen to my audiobook a little bit today: Play Dirty by Sandra Brown.

Today I played the wii and played Just Dance Summer Party. I loved it and what a workout. I am sore all over lol.

This and That

No pics today. I can't show what I am stitching on as it is an exchange piece and it was due in July. So getting it done this week. I don't know why I kept forgetting about it. The person also reads my blog.

Work was dead today so did some cleaning up of things and making bags, thrilling :-)

I have been renting exercise DVDs from the library to see what ones I might like to buy. Well today I worked out with 3 of them:
*Leslie Sansone Walk At Home 5 Mile Fat Burning Walk - A definate one I loved and will buy.
*Chery Burke presents Disco Abs - oh yeah , loved it. Took the time to teach you moves and a good workout
*Fame Dance Workout - way to advanced for me.

Pulled out my cross stitching and watched General Hospital. Then I listened to the audiobook Cruel Intent by J.A. Jance. Then watched a Lifetime movie called Bond of Silence, based on a true story. Very good.

I weigh myself almost every morning with my Wii and I lost another 3 lbs since Thursday. I am hoping that it is right.

Halloween SAL

Today is Halloween SAL with the Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. So I pulled out Cat-O-Lantern by Springberry Kreek. This seems to stitch up quick in the hours that I work on it.

This morning I went to Wegmans and got groceries for the week. Dylan wanted to sleep in and I couldn't wake up Justin so I went by myself.
Got some things done online and played a little bit of Sims2.

While stitching I listened to a couple of chapters of Hand of Evil by J.A. Jance. Then I watched a Lifetime Movie Network and the movie was The Devil's Teardrop. I think it was based on a book by Jeffery Deaver. I am also pretty sure that I read the book a few years ago. It was a good movie.

WW:
worked out with the Wii Fit for 30 minutes. That is including the free jogging for 10 minutes , which had me sweating up a storm.

Saturday SAT

Saturday was another SAT. This time with Only One Ewe BB and Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. I put in quite a few stitches on HAED SK Sunny. This is also a SAL with the HAED BB and the SK SAL runs from Aug. 6-Aug 12. Today is Halloween SAT for me but tomorrow I will be back on SK Sunny.

Scott decided to go to Walmart yesterday. So we stopped for lunch at the Omega Grill in Geneseo. I had a cajun steak sandwich. So I used my weekly 35 WW points to have that. Since he likes to eat somewheres every Saturday I save my points then.
I bought kitchen scales for the food. I bought the last box that I need to organize the Misc. brands of overdyed floss.
While I wasa stitching I was watching movies:
Patricia Cornwell's At Risk
Patricia Cornwell's The Front
I enjoyed them both.

Justin bought me Wii Sports Resort back in April and I finally pulled it out and played for an hour so I burned some calories as I don't sit and play. I stand and move right along and get right into it all.

a little bit of this and a little bit of that (picture heavy)

Tuesday night is family night with my boys. Dinner and a DVD. We ended up watching Hot Tub Time Machine. I rated it 3 stars. The storyline was good and the acting but the use of the F word was a little to much by one character.


Wednesday night was movie night at the theater. I took Justin to see Charlie St. Cloud and it is an awesome movie and we rated it 5 stars. You will need kleenex! Zac Efron does an amazing job in this movie.

Thursday I worked til 3 and I wanted to join Weight Watchers that evening. Well it starts at 4:45 and in the same town where I work. I did not want to drive back home only to have to turn around again and go to the other side of the town I was already in. So I took my laptop and went to a new coffee shop in Batavia, NY. It is called Coffee Culture and I really liked it in there. It is open late at night and they have a wide variety of coffees, teas, chillers (smoothies) and breakfast food, sandwiches , wraps, and soups. I just got a chiller , which was very good. They also have free wifi, hence my taking my laptop. I left there at 4:30 and headed to WW. I joined and got weighed and my slider and little booklet to get started. I have been doing Weight watchers for 2 weeks with my mom's WW stuff that she doesn't use anymore. I enjoyed the meeting.

Today I got out of work at noon because we weren't busy and I already had in enough hours. I wanted to go for a walk but the sky looked like it was going to rain. So instead I worked out with Wii Fit Plus. I have not used it since April. Well since then I have lost almost 9 pounds. I am thinking because of my eating healthy the past 2 weeks. Anyways I worked out for 30 minutes and burned 172 calories. So I feel pretty good about that. I will post about my accomplishments at the end of every post.
Then I pulled out HAED SK Sunny. Tonight was a SAT with Let's Stitch blog and Stitching Sisters Yahoo group. I watched 3 episodes of this weeks General Hospital and then a Hallmark movie was on tonight: Lies Between Friends, which was really good. I got a few squares done on Sunny.
I forgot to tell you. Monday I finished getting all of my DMC on the bobbins and into the Jammers. Woohoo!!! It felt great to get that done after several years. I need to buy 1 photo box with index labels so I can store the Misc. overdyed brands that I have. Then all of my floss will be done.
I also have started listening to Hand of Evil of J.A. Jance and am enjoying it.

Well I guess I am caught up for the week.
Tomorrow I hope to stitch more, on HAED SK Sunny.

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.

I am so bad

I had made a list of a 25 project challenge. I can not buy any new patterns til I stitch up 25 finishes. I can not include RRs except for my own block and I can't count exchanges. Well....I ordered from Down Sunshine Lane. I needed fabric and fibers plus the new LK Boo. I didn't feel so guilty BUT I am now hooked on HAED and they have a sale so I ordered 4 charts. So I broke my promise to myself, good thing I didn't tell the boys or DH *grin*.

Today I pulled out the Wii Fit. I had been playing the Sports package but I really wanted to get into the Fit for every day. I am way overweight and I made a goal and I have to work out every day. I am 44 but my Fit age is 39 so thats not to bad. I was proud of that fact.

I only got in about 30 minutes of stitching on a Bookmark for an exchange.

Well tomorrow is a new day and hoping to get in more stitching time.
