18 ct Fiddlers Cloth, DMC

1/3/12 - 12/4/12

Are you all ready for Christmas? I am not. Still have not decorated the house. 

The lab is work in is a satellite lab and the main lab is in Maryland. Tomorrow is their Christmas Party. So my boss has invited the 3 of us, from our lab, to go to the party. The boss has bought us the airline tickets and will pay me back for the car rental from the airport to the church. I have never flown before so I am looking forwards to that and it is only an hour flight. We leave at 9am and the airport is 1 1/2-2 hours from where the party is. The party is noon-4. We leave the airport for back home at 8:50pm. So will be back home lat tomorrow night. 

Has anyone been watching all the wonderful Christmas movies on Hallmark and Lifetime? I have DVRd quite a few of them and have watched a couple.

Well I need to pull out HAED Aurora's Garden, plan on finishing her next, and watching TV before heading to bed.

Sweet Dreams,

Busy weekend!

This was a crazy weekend.
Dylan came home Friday so I got my car back, yippee!!
Saturday
Scott and I went to Shelbi's (Dylan's ex) Grad party. It was nice to see her and we are proud of her. I did very well there with my eating. Parties are for socializing and not the food.
Then we had Scott's 30th class reunion , that evening. Had a great time. Also did very well with my eating but I did have 2 drinks.

Sunday
We had Scott's best friend's son Grad Party. Saw a few people we haven't seen in a while. Ate healthy there as well.
Then we had Allie's (Dylan's girlfriend) Grad party. Well I didn't do to well there. I had 4 drinks and the meatballs and baked ziti were awesome. So I went for more. I didn't eat any junk food though and not any cake. So I may have gained a lb or 2 and will not get mad on Thursdays weigh in.

Today
I wanted a family day today with Scott and the boys and of course Allie. So I had pork going in the crockpot all night and we ate at 1 today. We had pulled pork sandwiches , potato salad and grilled zucchini. It was nice all being under the same roof again, even though it was only for a couple of hours.

When they all left ,and Scott went to bed, since he had to work tonight, I pulled out my laptop. Read emails, facebook, BBS and a few blogs.

Then I pulled out my stitching.  HAED QS Fragile Heart was calling my name. I will stitch on her for 2 weeks and then go back to Rapunzel. I watched 3 days worth of Live with Regis and Kelly and 3 episodes of General Hospital.

I forgot to tell you what else happened to me over the weekend. Friday night Allie dyed my hair. I wanted something different and most of you know I am blonde. I have been blonde since a child. My hair was getting darker in my 20s but I continued to keep it blonde. Well I had her dye it brown and then put blonde streaks through it. I LOVE it! Will have to get a pic taken and post it. It is a lot different than what I am used to.

Well thank you all for reading this. Hopefully I will have more progress pics tomorrow night :-)

Sunday Halloween SAL

Answer for Jackie. You asked what I stitched Snow Bunnies on. It is 32 ct linen Lana Blue.

Scott and I went grocery shopping this morning. Usually when he goes with me I spend way more than I plan on. he was really good and never put anything in the cart. I was impressed lol.

Then we went to a surprise 60th birthday party for one of the men that works at the gas station where Scott is manager. I knew 1 other person there. Stayed for 2 hours and had a good time.

We are getting humid days already. I didn't stitch at all yesterday. My hands were clammy and just could not function in the heat. it is 72 now but is still humid. Have fans going in the house. I guess a/c will be going in soon lol.

Sat down to read The Memory Thief by Rachel Keener. I didn't get far with that. Justin got out of work at 7 and was a chatter box. We haven't just sat and talked about anything for quite a while. It has felt like he is slipping away. Turned 20 and probably wants his own place. I tell him his time will come. He still has 2 more years of college.

So Desperate Housewives came on and I pulled out Mill Hill's Treats Collage. Put on small petite green beads.
