Hello, again


 


Once again I have been MIA for several years.  Life happens and when it does, my blog evidently doesn't.  But I dreamed of  this blog last night and woke up with it on my mind.  So, here I am!

Let me catch you up....the oldest daughter, Ashley, is back in Alabama, but only for another 2 weeks and then she and her two babies (who are 10 and 8 - can you believe that?) are going back to Louisiana.  Daughter number 2, Jenna, and her precious baby, who is 1, are living with us for the moment.  Daughter #3, Lauren, is still in Huntsville, no longer with The Walking Company (I miss the shoes).  She and her beau have a precious kitty named Ridge.  And most shocking is that Daughters 4 and 5, affectionately known as The Squirrels, live together in Tuscaloosa and both attend The University of Alabama.  Harley is a junior who just changed her major to Marine Biology and is in the Million Dollar Marching Band while Mallory is a freshman who is majoring in neuroscience/psychology.  

As for me, I'm not in the classroom anymore.  I am the office manager for an electrical construction company...the same one Hubs works for.  I'm actually in school again working on getting my MBA.  No, the diet didn't work from the last time I was blogging with any regularity.  It seems as though I am always on a diet.  That is really tiring.  And sad.  Yes, I still read.  Yes, I still do the book blog with my BFF, but only on Facebook now.  No, I haven't sewn any clothes in a long while.  But, I have started cross stitching again (it's only been about 10 years since I have done that LOL).

Ready for the rodeo?

Well, after being away from sewing and listing and selling for a couple of years, I've finally got something new up. I used an adorable cowboy and cowgirl fabric from Michael Miller and made this skirt and top that would be perfect for a trip to the rodeo. Or it would be great for western day at school. Feel free to check it out...even bid on it ;0) http://cgi.ebay.com/Custom-Boutique-Rascals-Western-Cowgirl-CBD-FCBM_W0QQitemZ280255354898QQihZ018QQcategoryZ79714QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

A Lady Awakened by Cecilia Grant

I won an ARC of this on Goodreads - thank you so much!  I enjoyed it so much! My favorite romances are of the Regency period and this is that time period.  But that is where all similarities to others end.  Mrs. Russell (I just can't bring myself to call her Martha LOL) is a new widow who comes to realize she will loose her home and her dowry if she doesn't produce a male heir.  The kicker to this is that the late Mr. Russell's brother is a total jerk-face who has taken advantage of women in their home when he lived there as a young man.  Enter Mr. Theo Mirkwood...the rogue who has been sent to the country as a punishment by his father.  Mrs. Russell employs Mr. Mirkwood as her "stud" for a month so she can conceive a child and claim the inheritance.   Mrs. Russell believes she can't take any pleasure from their daily (later it becomes nightly) encounters.  Theo eventually changes her mind.  Martha is so set on her plan to thwart her late hus

So Harley has this interview to do

for church. She's suppose to interview one of the "older" members of the church about their Christmas memories and she'll have a presentation to do in front of the whole church at one of our Christmas programs. That is all fine and dandy, but she's in 3rd grade. Can you see her trying to take notes for when they answer her question of "what is your most memorable Christmas memory?" There is no way she can write even half way fast enough to get it down. I understand what they're trying to do and it's great! But what were they thinking asking a 3rd grader to do it? We have tons of 6th graders...let them do it. I'm tempted not to even bring her tonight for it. What should I do?
