Mid-March already??

It's already mid-March. When did that happen? Was it when I was busy at work? Was it when I was trying to do anything but clean the house? Was it while I spent hours reading? Or while I spent hours cross stitching? All I know is that I woke up this morning at 4:30 and was astounded that it was already almost the middle of March.

And you are probably wondering what is so special about the middle of March, aren't you? Well, my oldest daughter's birthday is Sunday, the 14th. And my only grandson's birthday is on Tuesday the 16th. And let's not forget that I turned the BIG 5-0 on Tuesday of this week! March is a special month in our family.

To celebrate my birthday, Lola got me an amazing Cuisinart stand mixer in a beautiful aquaish Tiffany blue.

Then when I got home that night, Jenna had blown up 50 black balloons and had them all over the house. Emery has loved playing with them all week.

I am thankful for all the things I have and for all the people in my life that I love. These past 50 years have been splendid and I pray that I have many more.

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

Lover Unleashed by JR Ward

Are you reading the Black Dagger Brotherhood series? If you're not, can I ask why not? And if you're not, I'm going to tell you that I think you need to stop reading this for a few minutes and go to Amazon or Barnes & Noble or some website and either buy you a paper copy or download a copy of Dark Lover and start reading the series (This is a series that HAS to be read in order). This can wait. Go do that and then come back and see what I'm going to say. So this was book 9 in the series. Payne and Manny's story. And while we got their story, I felt it was eclipsed by Payne's brother Vishous. I love getting lost in the Brothers' world. When I open the book and start reading, my children and home all fade away and I'm in Caldwell with them (is Caldwell, NY a real place?). We got introduced to some new vampires in this installment and that was pretty cool. There was NO Lesser pov here and that was more than pretty cool. Just between us

Is it Supposed to be Chewy?

Good Morning! Yes, I'm one of *those* people. The ones who are unusually happy and greet everyone with a "good morning". I use to teach with a lady that would look at me and say, "It's just morning. There isn't anything good about it cause we're at school." I'd just smile in response. Because, really? What is there to say to that? So, I said I was going to try oatmeal this morning. And I have. And the jury is still out on whether or not I like it. I know, you're wondering why I'd try oatmeal if I don't like it. Or better yet, you're wondering how I've never tried oatmeal before. Well, let me explain... I'm a Southerner. Born in southeast Texas, raised in coastal Louisiana, currently shacking up in Alabama. I joke and say you couldn't get much more southern than me since I'm from below I-10 (if you don't understand that, look at the map up there). In fact, I've never lived north of
