Happy New Year

I wish you all a Happy New Year.

I have a new start to the New Year. I am doing a SAL with a few other stitchers on HAED Boo by Randal Spangler. I did quite a bit today and it is being put away for it's next rotation.

I will be stitching on HAED Aurora's Garden til it is finished. I also have another SAL to start this week. It is with the HAED BB and is Randal Spangler's Literate Dragon. Just waiting for the first page to be emailed to me.

Did anyone watch the Tournament of Roses Parade? Beautiful floats and a moving float with the military and a husband was on a float to see his wife and son.

I took down all holiday decorations and ornaments off the tree. I did leave up snowmen and winter items because winter is still here til March.

Then I pulled out my Wii and worked out with Sports for 40 minutes. Felt pretty good. My favorites are bowling and boxing. I get right into the boxing and get a good workout.

I have also been watching a lot of Christmas movies that I had DVRd from Hallmark and Lifetime channels.

Well I am heading to bed with my book and hopefully can read a little bit before falling asleep. I am also hoping to post more on my blog.

Night all,
Shelleen

Another update

I walked for 30 minutes today and used weights for my arms. Felt good.

Sat down and stitched on more of Sunny.

Tonight's movie was the mini series of Stephen King's Bag of Bones. I had DVRd it last year. Then I watched Private Practice.

Also read quite a bit more of Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins.

Thanks for reading my blog and leaving comments.

Working out

No pics again tonight.
Movie night with Dylan. We watched Cop Out with Bruce Willis. Hilarious movie. Then he pulled out the cards and we played euchre. It was nice without us fighting. 18 know it all most of the time lol. Plus him moving to PA makes it an emotional time for both of us.
I stitched on the exchange piece as well.

Got out of work a little early again today. Did my thing online and then worked out for 15 minutes with Disco Abs and walked a mile At Home. Felt great! But out of shape lol.

I think I am going to play with my stash before I go to bed.

Night all and thanks to my readers and for those who leave comments. Means a lot to me.

Valentine Kitty Moon is finished!

Today I read all my blogging friend's blogs and commented on some. I love getting comments on mine and I do try to comment on others.

I worked out with the Wii Fit Plus. Really like it.

Tonight's dinner was from the Taste of Home Cooking School Spring magazine. Crab & Spinach quiche, which was very good.

While it was in the oven I watched General Hopsital 4/16 while winding floss on bobbins

Then after dinner I sat down with my ipod and Valentine Kitty Moon, and it is finished. I really like stitching on these. I listened to a few more discs of Rough Country by John Sandford.

Then I stitched some more on Stitchy Kitty St. Paddy's Kitty Moon. I will stitch on this some more tomorrow night and Friday night and will hopefully finish it.

I am on a finishing kick so after St. Paddy's Kitty Moon I will finish up last month's ornament and then start this month's ornament. Then onto a UFO. Not sure which one. I thought of pulling out my oldest one. That would be Rocky Mountain Christmas by Marty Bell. But Christmas Angel is calling my name and so is I Shall Wear Purple, or maybe even Mirabilia's Winter Queen. Hmmm. Tough decisions lol.

Workout Wednesday

A coworker called in sick and were busy today. But got out of work on time.
I decided to work out for 30 minutes with the Wii Fit. Now I have a question for some of you. Do any of you belong to Weight Watchers? I am thinking of joining online but wanted some feedback on it.

I pulled out my ipod to listen to Dark of the Moon by John Sandford then sat down to stitch on Christmas Angel, some more.I got the backstitching done from where I was last night and then stitched some more of the ribbon.

First finish of 2010 and a giveaway

Got to work and there wasn't anything to do. Left at noon. As I was driving through town I noticed hubby's truck in front of the coffee shop so I called him and asked what he was doing. He said having lunch at Java's. I told him I saw his truck as I passed. So he told me to turn around and have lunch with him. That was very sweet of him. Had a toasted ham and cheese sandwich with a cup of chili.

When I got home I got caught up on blogs and emails. Played a little Facebook. Then I was a good girl again and worked out with the Wii for 30 minutes.

Sat down and watched General Hospital while winding more floss on bobbins.

Tonight was movie night with the boys. I had a Netflix movie sitting here so we watched Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Justin and Dylan had both seen it a few times before but love the movie. Then guess what happened as soon as the movie ended? I put on the last bead to Halloween Fairy, woohoo!!!!

a good day

My day started out with putting ingredients into the crockpot to make sausage gumbo.
Got to work and hardly anything to do so I got to leave at 1:30. I ended up doing some laundry and cleaning the living room. Then I worked out for 35 minutes with Wii Fit. That felt so good. We had problems with the remotes and I haven't touched it sine before my surgery, in June. I only gained 1.5 lbs since my surgery but I would like to know why then, are my jeans tight? It felt good to get back into a cleaning and work out schedule again. After reading emails and BBs, and of course playing on Fairyland :-), I then pulled out floss. That is right I still have bags to put onto bobbins. last year I was on a roll doing this and then stopped. Well I have made it my vow to do this again every day while watching General Hospital.

After I ate the yummy supper, I pulled out Aurora's Garden and listened to Dead Wrong by J. A. Jance. I got a few more squares done on it. I just don't think I will meet the deadline of the 27th. I am trying my best though.

So I am hoping to keep up with my daily routines tomorrow. Tomorrow's room to clean is.. the kitchen. Clean out the fridge and one cupboard.

See you then.
