Grab your balls...

We're going bowling! Haha. So, its been a few days since I've posted, mainly because there isn't anything going on. Big surprise there. Like I mentioned, its bowling time. Its the last week that counts and then next week is fun night. Last week I'm sure that I hurt my knee somehow. It started hurting on Thursday morning and its hurt in some way since. Maybe it will feel better after, but who knows. Or maybe I will bowl really well. I haven't bowled a 200 this season and I'd really like too because then you get a patch or a key chain (I don't remember) and I like getting prizes. So I guess that's all I have to say. I'm going to go do something that is not related to work, because that makes me happy. And I'm going to have an orange. I don't eat badly, but I've been trying to eat more fruit and to get more calcium. And mainly its making my nails grow like weeds! But I like fruit, so I've just been trying to have that in the morning between breakfast and lunch. I'm one of those people who eats every few hours. I try not to drink a lot of soda (no, I don't call it pop) and try to drink water and to eat semi-healthy. But I like to have Wendy's and MacD's but I also have Subway and stuff. So my diet could be better, but hey it could be WAY worse. So I guess, be cool eat fruit!

Lucky 13

This is post #13 for me, hope its a good one. My hockey team won last night (big cheer) 5 to 1. Now, here are my thoughts on why people watch hockey (in no particular order). The FIGHTS: last night there was a good fight that seemed to last 10 minutes but I think it was more like 2. It was a pretty good one and to see their team WIN. I love to see the shoot outs sometimes I can't even watch, one time the Wild went 9 rounds, that's a lot.
On to all things crafty. My bag is 90% done, got 'er sewn up and mostly done last night- plexi project has been pushed aside because it makes my hand hurt and its a lot of work sometimes. I've been on somewhat of a "lul" in the craft department. Only for the reason that I haven't been around to do any of it. It isn't much fun to start working on something at 8 pm. That can go 2 ways: one, you stay up wayyy to late because you just can't walk away or two, it turns to crap. My problem is usually the first one, or a combination of the two! I guess there's really nothing left to talk about- so I hope everyone has a good weekend and if its nice where you live, get out and enjoy it :)

mmmm..

So, here it is, Thursday already- wow how time flies. Seems like it was just Monday. Once again the highlight of my day is centered around food (big surprise). Today, a chocolate, chocolate chip muffin, a big one. Yummy! So my sister is having a scrap party this weekend and I usually bring something to knit or crochet because I don't do a lot of scrapping (sorry). But she suggested that I need an idea book. So I've been thinking about what to do. I could buy something and then decorate it, but then I have to figure out what to buy and where to go and when I'm going to be able to do that. But then when I was grabbing my shred stuff out of the cabinet, I saw these two reams of card stock that I saved from the trash- and I thought "I could use that paper" So I'm thinking that I'm going to cut the sheets in half and then punch holes in it and connect them together somehow, maybe ribbons, or glue it or something. And then decorate it and use fun papers. My sister has everything to make just about anything involving paper so I'm sure she's got some stuff I can use. I also encourage you all to hop over to Monster Crochet (its about other stuff too). LadyL. has a thought provoking and interesting post up today.. Well, ya'll have a good day and I hope that you all have a "chocolate, chocolate chip muffin" kind of day ..

T-T-Tuesday

Howdy! Its Tuesday. And the highlight of my day was a cookie. It was a chocolate cookie with white chocolate and regular chocolate chips (yay, your jealous). I didn't really want to eat it, since it was still morning and I thought that it would be really, really good after lunch. But, I ate half because it was just staring at me. There's this old guy (its o.k. for me to call him that) that I work with and he goes to the Chiropractor, and they bake cookies there and they are good, so sometimes a select few of us get a treat :) There's a hockey game on tonight, whhoohoo.
So I'm listening to the radio and they have found the missing boyscout, alive. Thats so cool. I wonder if he used any of his "training". Well. I've been asked to make a bag for my boyfriend's aunt. So I'm going to hit up the fabric store during lunch and see what I can find. I need to find some flower fabric. His Mom is going to do something that I thought was a good idea, she's going to put seeds (she has a whole bunch) in the bag and then send it to her. I thought that sounded really nice, so how could I say no? For Christmas I made her a bag with cats on it and a pocket that I divided into some skinny pockets for crochet hooks and such. She keeps crochet stuff in there. She really like it, so that was really cool. That's the reason I make stuff- to see other people happy and excited to have something cool. I just try to remember that when I am making something that I'm not into or I'm frustrated with... On that note. I'm giong to get some work stuff done so that I can go shopping.

Yay, Monday!

Wowwee, its Monday already. I didn't do anything very exciting over the weekend, just worked on some projects and stuff. These are my two newest felted items. A small turquoise bag and the cat toy. Which I realize looks a little weird. But I think its funny and it makes me laugh. The cat, just stared at it.. But I think it was because she was traumatized by the dog this weekend. We doggy sat while Heather, Morgan, and Owen went to Kansas City. So she pretty much slept all day because she's a big baby about the dog

being there. I also got 5 squares of plexi cut and practiced drilling holes in it, which is WAY easier than cutting it. I also hit up the craft stores to use up some coupons. I bought some yarn (big surprise), wire, and an eyelet setter. I also went to the yarn shop that is just down the street from my house. I love this little store. For a yarn junkie like me, its hard to not spend a lot of money. I only spent $10.50 and that was for 3 skeins. Anyone who goes to yarn shops knows that they are mostly expensive but this one isn't too bad. I was happy. I also started a new project (since, I'm approaching being done with one) I'm going to make a coin purse and put a zipper in it.. I've never sewn a zipper in anything, so it should be fun. But my Mom knows how to do all that kind of stuff so , she'll help me if I can't figure it out. If I can I'm going to try and get that done tonight, since its a small one, and then I can start something else, or finish one of my other left behind projects. Okey Dokey, ya'll have a great Monday!!

Finally Friday!!

Today is Friday, one of my most favorite days. I think that I like Thursday best. My b/f and I almost always have dinner together on Thursdays, and I get to see baby Owen. He's growing so fast and doing so much, its so cool. He is my only nephew and the only baby that I've grown attached too. I was scolded yesterday when I went to babysit because I have not updated my blog- but that is mainly bc there is nothing going on. Well, I'll tell you all about my plexi project, yet another one sparked by Owen. I'm going to make a picture hanging. I'm cutting 4 3/8 x 6 inch squares and then in the corners I am putting eyelets and putting 2 of them together and then a picture in between and I am going to use S hooks or wires to hook them together so they hang vertically. I really hope that I don't foob it up bc in my mind it looks pretty cool! SO far I have 2 squares cut, and that was pretty easy, I just have to cut down the big sheet.
I'm one of these people that always have a million ideas that I would like to do, so I have to be really careful to only start one thing and try to finish it before I start something new. That is SO hard. I'm sure I'm not the only person like that.. I just like to make stuff so much and I see things at stores or that other people that made and I think "I can make that" and sometimes I do. SO I guess that's all that is new and exciting, I'll take pics of all my junk that I work on this weekend. See you all on Monday, have a happy St. Patrick's Day- be safe.

*Just another day*

Well, apparently my excitement for non-family visitors has upset my only sister. So this is for her: (Waves) THANKS SISSY!!! On to other evnets, my hockey team won last night! And I pretty much missed all the action because I can't stay awake past 11pm anymore.. I missed the last 8 minutes plus the OT-How sad! Oh well.









Her she is in all her furry glory- My cat, or "pretty girl" as I call her or "fuzz bucket" depending on if we are getting along or not. She's a big kitty, not just fat but overall she's big. But thats the way God made her and I love her just the same.
On to crafting related stuff. I tried my hand as cutting plexiglass last night, and I guess overall it wasn't bad. I just used a utility knife to score it (a million times) and then I snapped it. But I was asking myself "who's stupid idea was this" But now I've cut the piece to a smaller size and know (sort of ) what I am doing and I hope that it goes better and that I'll be happy with what I make, chances are it will be one of the things that I "just had to do" that I will never do again, unless it turns out so good that my sister wants me to make one for her.. And putting a dirty diaper in my car might be kind of hard because we stand in the window and watch you from the time you go out the door to the time you leave, and I lock my car- always! And I found out the other day that my BIL reads the blog I'd better say Hi to him- So HI Morgan! I'll see you all on the flipside.
