so today i am really groggy because i stayed up late trying to fashion a cat bed out of an old wicker laundry basket, some fleece and polyester fiberfill. it turned out acceptable I think.

I finally got around this morning. I had to put a package out for the postman to pick up today. I almost forgot about that, so i stumbled out of the house in my nightgown and robe to place the package where i said it would be. then i came in to sit for a few minutes and get myself together. i was so shaky this morning. glad it is over for the time being. so i have done my usual getting around stuff, showered, dressed, scooped the litter box, etc.

i have decided I have to get more older baby hats in the shop. i only have two left after all the sales this winter, and winter pretty much has just started. will try that today i guess. i am still trying to finish an afghan i am in process of crocheting. its big and heavy now so i have some trouble working on it. no reading will be done today unless i need a break.

its been a while since i posted anything. i have several things different again. i closed my online shop since i never sold anything. now i guess i just make gifts or things to keep from now on. the dog leashes i took up to the local pet shop have not yet sold either. i started smoking again too. i know eventually i will quit again but not ready to give it up yet. i have lost interest in my crafting for the moment and my crafts sit idol in the positions they where in when I last worked on them. i dont know what to do to get back into it again. i think i just really burned myself out for real. i still have bobbie to keep me company but i get so lonely at home that I go and visit my neighbors a lot. i did read a book in the last two weeks and I have started reading the second book in the series.

my gosh the time does fly when you are keeping busy. i had no idea it had been so long since i posted anything. i have been so busy using my new sewing machine and crocheting and teaching myself to knit that it seems i have little time for anything else. the holidays where especially difficult when i was trying to make gifts for everyone on my list, and once i thought i was finished doing that someone new would be added. then i had to deal with after Holiday depression because not all the gifts i made for certain people where appreciated. that killed my gift giving spirit for real. but not i am back into working and i have recently completed crocheting my first sweater. placed it for sale in my shop so you can find it there.

i am still on the weight roller coaster and i have to try to dedicate myself to the diet better. i have had terrible issues with blood sugar drops. weight this morning was 305.8 on my brand new glass scale. Jesus how I wish it was just so easy to loose 100 pounds. but it isn't easy at all. after eating like a pig yesterday today i have to try to rededicate myself to the weight loss again. i feel terrible this morning and i should. i am disgusted with myself.

long time no blogging

well it has been a really long time since i wrote anything in this blog. i am still keeping really busy, but have had lots of changes. i still have my etsy shop open, but i closed my artfire. I couldn't even get one sale on artfire. It was not for lack of trying. I only sold PIF items on etsy during all of 2009, so in essence I lost a lot of money and gave stuff away once again. I sold one item during the 2010 year so far. anyway there was way too much going on to write about.
pat and i bought a new home and moved to Leavenworth. i love it here. it is actually quieter then living anywhere else I have lived. We have a small dog, Bobbie, and a 75 gallon fish tank with my favorite types of fish, some beautiful mystery/apple snails and 3 clams. Overall life is pretty good, but for some reason unknown to me I still go through these days when I can't get out of bed. If I do get out of bed it isn't for very long and mostly for a bowl of ice cream.

i have been keeping so busy i hardly have time to blog anymore. i guess that could be a good thing.

i had for breakfast today the most wonderful homemade bacon and biscut sandwich. yum.

busy day

i have been trying to get quotes for car insurance and i need to get on the phone with a title agency or an attorney today to find out how to fix the cars title issue. i sure hope this can be resolved easily and cheap as possible. i really need to be driving very soon.

i am totally forgetting what else i need to do today. my mind sucks big time. i am sure i will remember eventually.

keeping busy

today i have done a bunch of things to keep myself busy but i am still bored senseless. i have mowed the lawn, done the laundry, did the dishes, started packing a box, took care of my hermit crabs. i even tried to take a nap but i could not sleep.

i am starving to death though so i guess i should go ahead and make dinner.

today

i had a badish kind of day today. i got up feeling not so good this morning. i had to lay back down for a while. when i got up i felt better but my mood had been terrible all day for the most part.
my neighbor down the street gave us a love seat for our new place. i did not yet get my second letter from pat that should have come today. it depressed me but he called me unexpectedly even though i wished for him to call me so that was good and i felt a bit better afterward. i took the bed off the rails and set the mattress and box spring on the floor.

this evening

i got a phone call from my love, talked for a while. it was a good one. then i cooked dinner for me and the kids. now watching survivor and using the computer a bit. i got all my laundry finished today. we had a small thunderstorm move through. the crabs are already out and about now. not much else going on. i still have to finish a letter to pat.

today

i stayed in most of the day. wrote a letter, did several loads of laundry, then i got in a short nap. when Hannah came home from school i walked to check the mail, and then she and i walked to walmat for ramen noodle soup bowls. i still have to make dinner tonight which will be deep fryer chimichangas. the wind is terrible out there today. and it is blowing cold which makes it worse.

today

i don't have too much planned today. i am doing a couple loads of laundry, then i have to get dressed and walk to walmart. i need some more diet pop and tweezers. i had a terrible time getting to sleep last night. thinking too much again i guess. so i stayed up until midnight writing a letter to my love. i slept good after doing that. i guess it is what i needed to do since he did not call yesteday. i am expecting a letter in the mail today though and a phone call on thursday. God I love him so very much.

sunday

I did get to the store and buy the ingredients for potato enchiladas. I also got 3 phone calls from my sweetheart. yay! he is so awesome!
man it was so cold walking to the store. i did not turn down the quick ride home when it was offered that day.

good morning

today i have to grab a shower and get dressed. i charged my cell phone all night so it is ready for my Sunday phone call. i have what appears to be 4 loads of laundry to do today. i need to get sour cream, tortillas, shredded cheese and sauce from the store for potato enchiladas at some point this week. it sounds really blustery outside. i don't want to go today since i already packed my winter gear. any other time spring would be here for sure. for today i think i will make two cheese pizzas for our lunch/dinner. both of the boys have left for work so now it is finally quiet in here. the hermit crabs are doing well and tunneling and climbing around each night. i wish i could see them a bit more. that's what i get for getting a nocturnal animal. i hear them so i know they are fine.

today

i am having a quieter day today. i walked to the post office box to drop a letter to pat, then on to walmart for groceries i missed yesterday. then i came home put in a load of laundry and tried to take a nap but only nodded off for a brief 15 minutes. so i got up and cut Andrew's hair. then i took care of teh hermit crabs food and water dishes. doing more laundry now and waiting for the mail to arrive. I know there should be something special for me in it today.

yesterday

i had a busy day yesterday which included mowing then lawn before the next snowfall and re-arranging my bedroom. my love called me too which is always fantastic. i was very hyper active yesterday.

good morning

i got two letters from my hunny last night, and a package from a store I bought a book from. i knew i was getting important mail.

i slept decent last night.

my hermit crabs got a bit cold since i had the heat turned off to my room last night, but frodo is still up and about in the shell shop right now. he is being a bit noisy clanging around in all the shells. I had to add a short cholla wood for easier climbing in and out of the caddy for them.
yesterday i ordered 3 hemp net ladders to do more things to the crabitat, and some honey cuttlebone suppliment from the hermit crab addiction store.

today i have to go grocery shopping. i am planning on cheese pizza for dinner tonight. not sure yet what i will be eating for lunch. i have been going for mcdonald's filet of fish for friday lunches. i might do that again. you never know.

good morning

i got to bed early last night, and up earlier today, not much earlier, but a little. it is raining cats and dogs outside. is supposed to change to freezing/snow maybe later today. i suddenly got into a bad mood when the kids made a kitchen mess after i went to bed last night and i hate getting up to a dirty kitchen.

yesterday i got a new printer, and passed the old one on to my daughter since hers broke. i got a photo printer this time. yay. i also picked up another shower caddy for the hermit crabs so now they have two second level areas, the new one is the shell shop.

i have to write a letter to pat this morning and get it in the mail today.

it is chilly in my room, i need to get dressed.

today

i have been keeping busy paying bills and walking to walmart and back home two times. hurting like a s.o.b. now and pretty tired.

moving preparedness

yesterday David and i walked downtown to get him on the last bill for the trailer. it took us 3 hours for the 3 mile trip, and we stopped at sonic for lunch. David's treat. i got some cheddar peppers, a American patty melt and onion rings. yummy.

today

i already walked to walmart. bought a queen size air bed, a set of super nice sheets, holiday clearance but who cares. I don't. I also got a candle for some reason? me being goofy I guess it is just one more thing to have to pack later but it smelled nice. 2 bottles of diet 7up and 2 boxes of ice cream.

I washed the sheets and folded them up for the move so they are already for use. i did the dishes and am currently doing some other laundry. washing old bed pillows now to see how they turn out. if good I will keep them, if bad then I will buy new ones.

it is such a beautiful day i want to go back to walmart but the kids don't want to go. :(

i watched the movie Repo with hannah today too. good movie except for the gore in it.
