Drama begats more drama

Jeezus. I have been laying in bed for hours. Sleep is alluding me.

I think it is because I am forced to deal uber drama from my cousin and stepsister.

My cousin stole all my Christmas presents last year while I was in the hospital recovering from surgery. Now she wants to be invited for Thanksgiving. GRRRR I hate thieves.

My stepsister wants me to outright GIVE her my car. She is out of her freaking mind.

Fuckers.

Dumb Da Da Da Dumb

I think I may have lost my mind. That is the only explanation as to why I have spent the last two hours watching "The Real Housewives of Atlanta."

Good grief.

A whole bunch of nothin'

Today was a good day. I was stuck inside because of all the snow. Tomorrow I am going to post some pics of it. The plows finally came down my street. Let me just say that the plow drivers are not the smartest bunch of guys. Dumbasses.

I am tired tonight.

I ordered another 200 fabric yo-yos. I am going to sew them together to make a garland for my fireplace for Christmas.

Kristy is coming over for the weekend. That makes me happy. She is so sweet. Inside that sweetness is a passionate lover and that really makes me happy.

She loves to come over and build a fire in the fireplace and I love to cook for her. So, we snuggle up next to the fire and eat dinner. Then off to do what we love to do best in my bedroom. :)

I have so much to do tomorrow. I will bring my mini laptop (the one I use most) into the sewing room so I don't fall behind.

Oh my freakin' God

It has been snowing all day. It is 12 degrees. We are supposed to get 12-15" of snow tonight. BRRRRR!

My housekeeper came today and changed my sheets and did my laundry. She is worth every dime. So now I am huddled on my bed with my heaviest blankets. I have both of my computers on my bed; one on my lap and the other next to me on my bed.

I am excited that I found my cord for my camera so now I can take pics and then download to this computer.

The Halloween party was fun. I came home with a huge pumpkin. I had to bring it inside (I had it on the porch) or else it would freeze solid tonight.

OH OH OH!!! I just found out that Walmart sells caskets for $999.99-3,200.00 or if you are so inclined you could buy an urn for $25.00. Can you imagine?!?!

I must finish cleaning my sewing studio. I have one project that I only have two weeks to finish. Oh well. It will work out.

AAA-Choo!

I have been sneezing all day. ugh.

I was able to accomplish some of my goals today. I have go to the quilt store to get some more empty bolts.

I got my package from thousands of bolts. The fabric is amazing. And i got a package from Keepsake Quilting. I was bot expecting it because I actually forgot I ordered anything. LOL

I will post pictures soon. I have to find the usb cord for my camera.

Tomorrow there is going to be a Halloween party at the clubhouse I am a part of. I will be there a bit early so I am going to bring my bag of yo-yos and post cards so I can finish them up for Christmas. I will post pics when that cord shows up.

Tomorrow we are expecting 2-4 inches of snow. blech COLD COLD COLD!

Busy day tomorrow

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day. I have to go get blood drawn and then I am going to a clubhouse to do some artsy stuff. Then eat lunch and back home to do some serious organizing in my craft/sewing studio. I have a massive amount of fabric to put on bolts. It is so much easier to view what I have when all of the fabric is on bolts.

I do not do alot of sewing but I do buy alot of fabric. I found a site called thousands of bolts. When I started perusing the fabric I think I had an orgasm! hahahaha!! I have done some things with the fabric but not enough. Oh well. Some people collect books I collect fine fabric.

Aww

Well my gf just left. I already miss her. We had a romantic and passionate night. I so love her!

Kristy, my gf, is here and she just made dinner for us. Nothing fancy (chili dogs) but it filled the belly.

We have been watching some tv while we ate.

My sisters birthday is coming up. She recently moved to Nebraska. I will send her a card but that is it because she is an addict and steals from everyone. grrr.

I hope everyone is having a good Sunday.

Oh damn

Mom is not coming over. Hopefully she will feel better soon.

What a day.

BRRRR

It is snowing again. I do believe we are headed right into winter.

Today is going to be a busy day. My mom is coming here and we are going to sew some candle mats for Christmas. Once those are done then I will be done with Christmas stuff. So wrapping is next after the sewing.

I am so glad I took the time and the money to get all that shopping done.

I am a bit frustrated because facebook is not working. ugh...

Take care all.

A new day

I have spent the day preparing to do some sewing tomorrow. My mother and sister are coming over to help too.


I am sewing for Christmas. I really like the idea of candle mats. They are 12 inch square quilts that you place a candle on. Some can be real country-like others are more contemporary. I think it is a good project for me because I don't have a lot of experience.

Now, my mom and sister are much more experienced and want to make table toppers. Sigh. We will see.

The weather is getting colder and colder. Ugh. Winter is here.

I hope all is well with everyone. I am learning how to use facebook and twitter. Be patient with me.

Take care.
