At sewing day yesterday I worked on an actual UFO. A few years ago I was in a swap group that did hourglass blocks every month. I collected close to a gazillion, at least that’s what it felt like. I made one quilt that went to Mongolia. I still had enough left to make another [...]
Our application for adoption was presented today to the powers that be. They think we will be a good home for B. We did have an AAAAARGH!!!! moment though. They want us to take the foster training. Two weeks ago this was discussed as a possibility. I found out that there were classes starting last [...]
I got tagged by Fuzzy Logic but somehow I missed the post. A- Attached or Single? : Attached B- Best Friend: the husband but don’t tell him. It will go to his head. C- Cake or Pie: Cherry pie D- Drink of Choice: Iced tea E- Essential Item: computer F- Favorite Color: all of them! [...]
I’ve recently found two books in my library that give me hope that Christians are starting to fight back against the people who I feel have hijacked the faith. The first is The Holy Vote: The Politics of Faith in America by Ray Suarez. I was really reluctant to read this book especially since the [...]
Yesterday the husband and I bought a swing for the backyard. It is a 3 person swing according to the box but I think of it as only holding one person who is laying down and reading a book. I love laying down on swings. My parents had a porch swing that I spent all [...]
In the last few months the husband has become more health aware, stopped watching Fox News cold turkey, started to state some slightly more liberal opinions, and expressed an interest in paganism. Now he has even started blogging. He is turning into me! He finds this alarming but I can’t possibly think of anything better [...]
Miss Prize finally agreed to honor us with her presence again. I picked her up yesterday. Spirit had been pretty mopey for the last week or so but I figured he’d never admit that he missed her once she came home. But I didn’t figure on the kind of weird reaction he’s having. When I [...]
I finally got my website up for the my housecall business. It is missing the online pharmacy still because I’m being jerked around by the company. If I hadn’t worked with this company a lot and been very happy with them in the past they would have definately lost my business by now. If you [...]
In the abscence of anything exciting to say I’ll just post quilt porn. I lost the info on this quilt (bad blogger!) but it is a detail picture of a quilt in this year’s Quilt Surface Design show.
We created a monster. Prize went from a horse who needed pharmacy help to go into heat to a raging nymphomanic. Horses are usually in heat for 4 to 6 days. Then they ovulate and don’t want anything to do with the boys anymore. Today is day 8 and she still likes boys. She’s far [...]
I finally caved to the temptation. I’m expected to provide a baked good at work on Friday so I ordered Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World from Amazon. I even got the overnight shipping because there was a special on it. I’ve been wanting the book but with my new committment to healthy eating I [...]
Yesterday the husband was looking at the vacation picture that inspired him to lose weight. Suddenly, it was all my fault. “I was going to having a heart attack any minute and you were going to let me!” I reminded him that he didn’t want to hear anything I had to say about his health. [...]
If my vegetable garden produces anything it will be a miracle because I have helpers like this. He is laying directly on top of a pepper plant.
I officially weigh the least that I have weighed this millenium! I hung around for a few days at the plateau weight that I haven’t been able to get below but yesterday morning I was two pounds under it. I didn’t post then because yesterday I went to a meeting with a buffet. But today [...]
Diet – The magical 5 lb weight gain went away in one day instead of the usual 3 or 4. I was back to an offical 5 lb weight loss for the week. I wore the pants that I wore on the first day of the diet and they are definately looser. I’m going to [...]
Actual conversation at my house this morning: The husband – “Are you working until 6?” Me – “I’m not going to work. I’m going to bring down the American family.” The husband – “You could meet us for dinner afterwards if you want.” Today was Lobby for Equality here in Ohio. Ohio ranks 51st out [...]
At the clinic I work at several times a week there are four vets. They all have easily distinguishable physical characteristics but me. So when someone can’t remember a vet’s name and can’t come up with an easy description the staff knows that they are talking about me. I’ve decided that I’m so nondescript that [...]
The official word back from the breeder tonight is that Prize “isn’t so irate” and “didn’t try to strike” at the stallion. Sometimes in the relationship between males and females that is as good as can be expected.
I ate really well yesterday. So logically today I should have lost some weight. This is the last day of my Eat to Live self-challenge. I had lost 4.5 pounds this week. So naturally this morning I have a hormonally induced 5 pound weight gain.
Weight lost as of this morning – 4.5 lbs. Yeah, the same as yesterday. I blame the Twizzlers. The husband is celebrating his 70th pound lost today. Yeah for him. (Feel free to read that as happily or as sarcastically as you desire.) Breakfast – Leftover chili Snack – baked apple I don’t think lunch [...]
