Finished Sampler

Here’s the finished sampler top. I just randomly added pieces together until I found myself with a top. It is about 70″ by 50″. The whole thing needs vacuumed because it has been on the floor where all my animals who all have light hair have been hanging out with it. I think this is [...]

Joke of the Day

What did the fish say when he swam into a concrete wall? Oh, dam.



Investments

I just finished reading the book Chicks Laying Nest Eggs by Karin Housley. Has anyone else ever read this? It is about forming an investment club. The idea is that you get about 10 people together who want to contribute a set amount per month to invest. You pool the money for 3 or 4 [...]



The horse who cried wolf

Spirit has been sick for about a week. It started on the evening of the national championship football game. I live near the home of one of the teams. It was not a night to try to call anyone. But not only was he refusing food, he started open mouth breathing. I called my horse [...]



Sampler beginning

I always knew that clutter spontaneously generated in my house. Now quilt blocks are miraculously appearing too. In fact Shelina said that quilts just magically appear at my house once. That made me laugh but I think she may have been onto something. I have a rubbermaid container overflowing with abandoned projects. I was looking [...]



Relaxing

I went to WV this weekend to meet up with a childhood friend. She lives in VA so we were meeting in the middle. We went there for some serious relaxation. We had a cabin in the woods on a mountain. It was a cute little thing. It had the smallest spiral staircase I’ve ever [...]



Juno – spoilers

I had a bit of embarrassment today. I had wanted to see the movie Juno but I wasn’t sure if I really should go see it. I knew that if I did I should see it alone. If you don’t know about it, it is a movie about a teenage girl who gets pregnant and [...]



Earnest and Sincere

This weekend I have finally been able to put into words something that has been bothering me. I’ve been trying to find a way to describe why some men just don’t interest me and the best I’ve been able to come up with is the dreaded “too nice.” The thing is that it doesn’t capture [...]



Just Say No

One clinic I work at is self-destructing. I’ve been here at least one day a week for 7 years. The owner is insane. That’s a clinical diagnosis not just a description. He hasn’t been to work since just after Thanksgiving. The associate also decided to not come back. It has been me and another relief [...]



Scrapbook idea

I started a scrapbook earlier in the year where I did a two page spread for each month. One page has random pictures I took in that month and the other page had a calendar with significant events of the month marked. Then if I had other events that I scrapbooked that month they went [...]



Tarot Review

Last January I did a tarot spread for the year. Since it was such a topsy-turvy year for me I went back and reviewed it. I don’t really remember specifics about the first of the year so let’s start when it gets interesting. August – 9 of swords – anxiety, breaking illusions Huh, husband is [...]
