So here's the deal

Couple of things - I hate the story line on General Hospital now, just because I worry about Ethan, and I just hope they have renewed his contract - he did make the new beginning so I am thinking they will not write him off

Yes SU has made it to the sweet 16 - Thursday night they play Butler. It is very important they win this game. I was not impressed with Butler, but that does not mean anything. If SU comes to play and Andy stays focused they will WIN. And of course with me having them winning my brackets - it will be a grand thing if they do win.

I have sorted out my WIP's once again. I have selected a few to work on that will fit into my rotation of Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter. -- Of course there are my Heaven and Earth Designs Mixed in.

Summer is a Leisure Arts I have had since Summit Ave - Liberty House by Pegi White. It is a red, white and blue house and I started it about 10 years ago. Last week was summer. Updated pictures will be posted soon. My Summer HAED is my Silvery Moon by Jessica Galbreath - SK. It is Summer because it is purples.

Fall I will continue TRue Love II. by Soucman Creations - Karen Couchman - Australia. Another WIP I have been working on for about six years. My Fall HAED is Steampunk Fairy.

Winter I have Santa Sack, from the Christmas 2009 issue of Cross Stitch Crazy - Issue 131. This is so easy as it is all white, on red. Using three strands of floss which is so different. But it is easy fun.. I also bring this with me when I am in the car, or out - because it is all white, makes it easier to stitch while I am on the go.
Also - I have a Winter HAED for the Weekends, or when I am on call. It is 350*279 Seriously. But there is a whole lot of one color for that also

My Spring HAED notFoal Fairy. My Spring non haed is From Blessed Are Ye - Designs by Gloria & Pat . RIth Morehead Art work - and it is the little boy with puppy which reminds me so much of Jalen.

I will be doing the SK SAL once it arrives in the mail for April and that will be my main focus until it is finished. There is a great possiblity at times, I will put other work aside and just work on one project or another. Sometimes I get going right along and do not want to stop work on that project.

I have also started reading the Outlander by Diana Gabaldon. First in a series. I just could not finish that Kleopatra one. It could not hold my interest. I guess there must be some books out there like that, but I did think this one I was going to enjoy much more than it was going. I may pick it up sometime, but not now.

Organized my box sets. Hope to start to watch the Tudors Season 1 soon. I also have Smallville season 1 - it is like on season 10 or something crazy like that now.

Cut coupons today.

Lost

Well I finally did catch all up to date with Lost - it has taken me awhile, but I am current. I know some people say it is way out there, but I am still enjoying the fantasy of it, and I don't mind the time travel, or the craziness of Jacob - Think it is extremely well written. Started watching Flash Forward - sort of reminds me of Lost - love seeing Penny and Charlie. Still can't figure out from Lost who really is my favorite.

The brackets for the NCAA's Basketball come out today. Still hoping we get a number 1 - but if not, I will take a number 2. There are no guarantees in the Tournament, so no matter where we fall in the bracets, I hope we come to play and play hard.

Babysitting for Ehren this afternoon. He is fun to hang out with. Dakota is missing Jabba. She really goes through withdrawal.

Next week I am on pager. My rotation changes, and I will be doing a "Summer" theme. I have an extremely old WIP - I did about ten stitches on it - but I will be pulling it out for the week. Waiting to hear news from Brittney in Myrtle Beach and Heather having fun in the city.

Theresa's 25th Birthday

What an amazing woman she has become. I am so proud of her. She has had troubles along the way, but has never lost sight of her goal. If she only knew how awesome she is - if she only knew how much we all love her. Well I am at work this Saturday morning - Parade day in Syracuse NY. The parade is not for me. Brittney needs hugs this week, down in Myrtle Beach - one year to late to help her - it is so very sad. Always my kids it seems one Day Late in so many things. But it is good for her to be playing softball this week. She knows her power there - or does she? Heather away from home - it will be strange without her. Pager starts next week. I am glad it comes once in 5 and I am glad for the break on life. Fund raising for Malik now. Crazy but true. Have not heard from Carmella yet, so the baby has not arrived. Any day now I bet. Kiesha is going to Florida. That will be nice for her and the kids. Missed NYC - more than I thought I would. Next year. There is always next year. I am so afraid the Vibe is on its last rolls. Inspection is due next month - but if it is way too much, it is not happening. I hate the thought of a car payment - but what else? Can it make it another month or two? Who drives a car now days that many miles - It has been a loved car. Well maybe we can make it to 170,000. Maybe I should start researching another type of car. Any suggestions? It would have to be SO affordable.

March 11, 2010

Well SU lost today - after such a great season, to lose the first came in the Big East Tournament, well it was sad. But I think the fund raiser I suggested (pay $5.00 wear jeans and orange) went over well and we raised a bunch of money. The Pizza ran out and that is rather upsetting - some had to go without. At least we know we are getting into the NCAA's this year, no doubt about it.

Today was the last of my mass of March Meetings, subbing at Weight Watchers. It was okay for the meeting today, but I did not like how it played out. Have to do the meeting on Sunday for Karen as she will be out of town. That will be a hard one, she is an amazing leader and it will be hard to go in her place. Next week I am on call

Have to work as early as possible tomorrow - work is so busy, it seems I have no time for anything.

Heather is leaving tonight to go on a crazy trip for Spring Break - Brittney will be gone too, she is going to Myrtle Beach to play softball. Malik has made the 12 and under AAU Basketball team - how exciting a trip to LeBron's Basketball Camp awaits him this summer. Michael is very proud.

All the news for now.

Sunday March 7, 2010

Okay, so I haven't been as faithful as I should have been about this blogging thing - and I am going to try to get better. Not sure if this is going to give the look and feel I want, but I am going to continue to try.

You all will be happy, I finally took the snowmen down, and set up some decorations for Spring. It felt good to put them away until next year.

Been so busy with Weight Watchers of late - subbing a lot and am going to try to get another meeting going - maybe super early on Friday mornings. Think I will ask Jean if I can work nine to five thirty or someting on Fridays. That would be so cool. With things the way they have been, I do really need the part time job. And I have found, I can't stay away from WW - it is too dangerous to my weight.

Purchased a new walk man - YES and have loaded all the new recently purchased music. If I do not put them on the walkman, it seems I never take the time to listen. This I am sure is going to help me stay on track with my walking and now the snow is melting and I am not afraid so much of falling. New Goal - to prepare something new at least once a month. I have to figure out a better way to eat

Still trying to finish Keopatra, a nove by Karen Essex. It is taking forever, and it is not as if I am not enjoying the book - I am - it just seems by the time I get in bed, I am so tired, I can't read more than a page or two.

I set up a rotation finally for my cross stitch. Will try to set up a place to explain and keep you posted. Speaking of which, going to try to do a few stitches and catch up on Lost. I know it is wacked, but I still enjoy. Love, just Love watching TV on line
