Out in the backyard this morning. Watching the dogs play, and playing with my new camera!

life

I have been remiss in blogging. I have received my packages from both Summer of Yarn and SP12 spoilers. Thank you to both wonderful ladies. I really appreciate all the time and effort that went into my wonderful packages!!!

My life has been weird lately. Life itself not weird, my head is in a really weird place. I am having some health issues as well as other things that life is bringing my way.

I am trying to decide what to do. Do I keep this blog or not? I think that I have decided that the blog was a wonderful thing, but I just don't want to keep it up. It is becoming a burden to me. I know, what is she thinking, a little blog being a burden!?!?!?! I feel bad not keeping up on it and yet I don't want to add to it. For now, it will stay up but inactive. Maybe later I will try again. Thank you everyone for your time reading my blog and the ones that left comments.

Until next time...........

Thank you!!!!

I am so very behind! I recieved a package from my SP12 Spoiler about a week ago, and haven't blogged about it. Bad me!

My wonderful spoiler sent me a book that I have been looking at for awhile.

It is called "a fine fleece" by Lisa Lloyd

I have had my nose in it devouring the information and the beautiful pictures. I like the fact that the author made two of each project - one from hand spun and the other from mill spun. Sometimes I mixed up which was which! Great information source and wonderful patterns!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!

I went to see a man about a horse

Actually a lady about a car, but I like that saying :)

My truck is getting older (it is just old actually), an 1989, and a gas HOG (10mpg!!). So, yesterday, I went and testdrove some vehicals. I wasn't really wanting/needing/expecting to buy at that time, but it happened! I did my research extentively for about a week and narrowed it down to three. The Nissian Rouge, the Honda CRV, and the Mitsubihi Outlander. I ended up going with the Rouge. This is not a picture of my actual car, but off the Nissan web site.

It is a Nissan Rouge SL AWD. And this is the key.

Neat huh? I can leave it in my purse and as long as I am withing 2-3feet, I am able to open the door(s). Also, I don't need a key to start the car. I was very concerned about that until the saleslady told me all of the security features about the keyless key. Very cool.

I have AC again!!!!!!!!

I got a Box!

A box was waiting for me in the mailbox a few days ago. Been working, so here it is! It is from my Summer of Yarn spoiler. This box was the in the theme of "red".

There is:

One skein of "Lace Wing Sock" in Crimson

Three balls of "Baby Star" in color 25

Skittles Original flavors

Lindor Milk chocolates (gone!)

Pomergranate Grenade body wash

Strawberry fraise soap

a red hankercheif

and

Loin brand yarn "Just Socks"

I am so excited! Thank you SofY spoiler!!!

Question #8

What is your favorite supper for a hot summer evening?

Ceviche (sp?). Hands down. My ex some years ago brought home this stuff and asked me to try it. It was this salsa looking stuff that had fish in it. It was good!
So, I started making it at home, but I tweaked it some. Instead of fish, I use shrimp. So light and fresh. Now, I need to go make some.

Venting!!!

Warning - this is a venting post. Also a VERY biased view. MY view. Please just bare with me.

There has been a lot of family stuff going on around this house. Stuff I am not really happy about. R left yesterday to move OUT OF STATE to take care of his mom. I know, it sounds all great humanitarian and all, but it's not. The woman needs a husband, not a son trying to take care of her like a husband does (not in that way though, get your head out of the gutter!) You know, honey do stuff.

Granted, we were going to move up to that area (two hours away) after I pass the Nursing Boards. We were going to move TOGETHER at ONE time, not separate and twice.

So, R is on his way up there yesterday and today. A thousand miles away. I am so sad.
