Saturday's Procrastination

 Helllooooo!!!!

I've got the computer on, sample papers pulled up, papers printed out, webpages pulled up on Brazil and their coffee exporting.  I'm ready to write!  And what am I doing?  Typing up a blog post 😁  You know, procrastination at it's finest.

I really do have the outline done - turned it in this week.  And I will get to the paper.  I have no choice.  The class ends on the 24th.  I have to do the paper and another 2 modules.  I will need to take a day off next week to work on school stuff.

Speaking of taking a day off to do school stuff, I did that this week.  I took Wednesday off.  That's when I got the outline done.  But, I did not get to work on school stuff all day because Mal called and said she has COVID


Bless her heart, she was crying and upset.  Not over the fact that she was sick, but over the fact that now her closest friends need to get tested.  Billy and I called our work teledoc thing and they said we were not in danger of getting it since we saw her on Saturday, which was more than 48 hours before she started feeling bad and we didn't need to test.  However, we did, just to be safe...and I was not feeling good.  Both of our tests came back negative.  We both got antibiotics and allergy meds because we have sinus infections.  Billy doesn't feel bad, at all.  Just stuffy.  I, on the other hand, feel bad.  And it comes and goes in waves.  I'll be tugging along and all of a sudden a wave of tiredness and just blah comes over me with a wave of heat, or chills, and I ache.  I'm fairly sure my test results are wrong.

And speaking of wrong test results... with Mallory testing positive, Harley tested.  Came back negative, but she retested 2 days later and LO AND BEHOLD!!! It was positive.  So, both my girls are quarantining in Tuscaloosa, with me up here.  I did an online grocery run for them and had them pick it up, so they should be good for a bit.  

I will be so glad when this is over.  It's been hyped up soooo much, yet has such a high recovery rate.   Doctors have told people we know that masks do not work to stop the spread of this, so why all the mask mandates?  And why the talk of a nationwide mask mandate if/when Biden takes office?  I honestly feel this is a ploy by the government to take a small amount of our freedoms from us as they work to transition us to a form of government that is not what our Founding Fathers had in mind.  If they transition us in small steps, we won't realize which way we are going until it's too late.  You have your opinions, I have mine.  Whether they are the same is not up for debate.  That's the beauty of living in the USA, we can have opposite opinions and still live in harmony.   It's been that way since the birth of our precious country. Except, is our country really in harmony right now? It's an ugly place, full of discord and chaos that is being spurred on by people who should be doing all in their power to stop it.  We need to remember that our Loving Father, God the Almighty is also a vengeful God who will make those who are sewing this hatred pay.  I look forward to the day Jesus comes to Earth once again to call His people home.  

On a lighter note,   I still have some cross stitch to show you.  And I have a new Christmas comforter I bought last weekend that I am itching to put on my bed.  Maybe that will be goal - work on the paper for a bit and reward myself with changing the sheets and comforter.  

Until next time....

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?
