She is so lucky to be alive. She has a broken leg, other leg has a crushed foot which has to have surgery done on it on Thursday. She has stitches in several places on her face. She also has broken ribs. She hit a van ( think it was a van) head on..going about 50 miles an hr. Thank god she is ok. She has a very very long road ahead of her. Please pray for her and keep her in ur thoughts. I spent the night and day today with her. She can't be left alone for very long. Due to the fact that she has to hop on one leg while using a walker. If she would need anything, or god forbid fall.. She is staying with her mother in til she is better again. But her mom has to work during the week. Pray for them..plz<img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5394856472594322850" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFaPo0g7UNXKcdW-gSiyqVcYmhfER9fJi6fxRTPFpYHV3Aeh-pB0jzj1yu0_xPYrBWynayoADRUJqWT-QD_vwkclYQpONOMyzLMNy9Zu5t29U7-Bo6im4mzcTwyEtri7ZLUc_CVX7scDBF/s400/10232_1095450281320_1678470840_190857_5722183_n.jpg" />Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07320675144100952520noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097647599007032974.post-75150467576237744842009-10-11T05:14:00.000-07:002009-10-20T18:32:14.383-07:00brandon turns 3!Hello fellow bloggers!

With this little bow tie on. He just loved that little bow tie. The shirt was a little snug but we mad do. How cute is he! While on the subject of Brandon. I should tell you that we have begun potty training! Not sure how it happen, one day he said he had to pee..the next day he was in pull ups. It's been smooth sailing every since (hahah yea right). He doesn't have any number 1 accidents in his big boy pants, except while he is sleeping, but we can't not, will not, do number 2 in the pot. Any tips on that? Of course it's only been..2 weeks..maybe 3 since we started. I'm hoping today is the day. We talked about it a lot yesterday, bought him poo ball. LOL Told him he could only have the ball if he pooped in the potty. And thats all he talks about while he is peeing in the pot. Anyways, that's the scoop on boo. He's been having so much fun this summer, out side, riding bikes, playing with this neighbor cousin. What a great summer to remember. </div><div>As for me..I'm still trying to lose weight. I can't believe I have lost 30 pounds since January. I haven't lost any recently but I really haven't been trying. Not as hard as I should be. One thing I gotta say is..My husband is the greatest. So supportive of me, he doesn't care if I'm fat or skinny ( I'll NEVER be skinny). He loves me just the way that I am. That's one of the mail reason I'd like to lose weight. Too look nice for him. He deserves it. Eating healthier isn't that hard. I love the food, wheat bread, yogurt, veggies, fruit. But god sometimes I just want to eat..pizza, hamburger,anything deep fried. LOL I eat a lot of soy burgers, which if I put the right toppings on, pickles, tomato, ketchup, it taste like a real burger. And I found this Fab bread called sandwich thins, 100 calories, full of fiber. I just love it. Here is the site..check it out..and try some soon! <a href="http://arnold.bimbobakeriesusa.com/subcat.cfm/subcatId/131">http://arnold.bimbobakeriesusa.com/subcat.cfm/subcatId/131</a> </div><div>I have totally lost my mojo for stitching. I can't pick up a needle, don't' want to pick up a needle, the thought makes me sad. But one good point is ..I have my cross stitch stash sorted out and neatly put away. Something I could never do before cause I was always searching for that next great chart to stitch. I have on the other had renewed my love for reading. I have read 2 books this week. Very good books, couldn't put them down. Actually stayed up til 1am last night reading it. I'm such a loser nerd. LOL </div><div>I guess that's all for now..I'm off to pay farmville on face book. Have a great day! </div><div> </div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOr13_hRIkesyMJaFSjg2P6tp6OSl5XZ1r-FTQQ7VZrbUDqGaHQYS53P0bBkTT88vsUq8sfcitm98c7K2UBFUTibPAV3JHD1AYeW6hyphenhyphenWIqDeNy6jhYS8XzRL6WK_3vtXRUe_o4zrq-H3Nh/s1600-h/DSCF1130.JPG"></a> </div></div></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07320675144100952520noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097647599007032974.post-600439466304671472009-07-04T05:17:00.000-07:002009-07-04T05:53:30.526-07:004th of july<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#CC0000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"><b> happy <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#000099;">4th of </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;">july!!!</span></b></span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><b><br /></b></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:x-large;"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:#990000;"><b><br /></b></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:6;color:#990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:24px;"><b><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3hsTL31fKxURyI9qf8D5nmSrZulFUW3Ro1uf_psLgPNoXDPqd8hMPo15KO7kQ9HqNwQrne8ijYbP773ldw7ledy3GEu5KLgBVaeE5PLbT67ykFR7h-kHgCljZu7Kql5tT1Q6OXOu3yKq2/s400/Salute.JPG" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 279px; height: 400px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354579205907018722" /></b></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:6;color:#990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:24px;"><b><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOUjS57LqwsspHfbNv_DWBbeikV5xgd2ExQvxukHXcw_m2NhzecmR_pgmMcpv3Td-qtOGC5vDeTbsTjdAWCbGVFxgXpXhUrqtijwIt2UxuKGdHQjazcglFTiDXmSrmrPm5SRNxqf0sLzSK/s400/USABear.gif" style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 330px;" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5354579211217856002" /></b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:7;color:#990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:48px;"><b><br /></b></span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:7;color:#990000;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:48px;"><b><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I watched the flag </div><div style="text-align: center;">Pass by one day, </div><div style="text-align: center;">It fluttered in the breeze.</div><div style="text-align: center;">A young Marine </div><div style="text-align: center;">Saluted it, </div><div style="text-align: center;">And then he stood at ease.. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I looked at </div><div style="text-align: center;">Him in uniform </div><div style="text-align: center;">So young, so tall, so proud, </div><div style="text-align: center;">With hair cut square </div><div style="text-align: center;">And eyes alert </div><div style="text-align: center;">He'd stand out in any crowd. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I thought how many men </div><div style="text-align: center;">Like him </div><div style="text-align: center;">Had fallen through the years. </div><div style="text-align: center;">How many died on foreign </div><div style="text-align: center;">Soil </div><div style="text-align: center;">How many mothers' tears?

So unless I can sit down with him we keep this track hid.

We aren't sure what , Keith is suppose to work on it today. i hope he gets it fixed so i can continue to work on my tan. oh also because Brandon enjoys it so. LOL he was really scared at 1st. But after spending time in it he really started to enjoy it. I cant' get him to do anything but walk around..but it's a start. I remember last year he was terrified of the pool. So we are taking baby steps so that doesn't happen this year. </div><br /><div>As for my diet/life change..I have finally reached 205..5 more pounds and 'll be at my goal weight! Not that my goal weight is my stopping point.but if I reach 200 pounds I'm going to go get my hair done. Cut/color/ and style. I can't wait. I can't believe I've almost lost 32 pounds! I can really tell it too. My clothes fit so much better and I have energy! Now if i can find time to exercise i could lose that last 5 pounds in a matter of weeks. But working full time and taking care of a 2 year old..i just can't seem to find time. </div><br /><div>As for cross stitching..well..i've lost my mojo. I have over 500 charts at my fingertips and I cant find a single that that catches my eye.I haven't stitched a single thing since I finished my girl on the swing. And it took all I had to finish her. Someone help me plz! LOL </div><br /><div>My sister is getting married next week. And i didn't stitch her a wedding sampler. I feel kinda bad about that but..what am I too do.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Happy 4th of July to everyone. Plz be safe and responsible this weekend.

I noticed there was a wasp flying around the room. I sprinted to the kitchen and grabbed the first thing I saw to kill it...a bottle of mean Green(used to clean counter tops and floors). I went back to the laundry room and saw there were 3! wasps flying around. So I took aim and sprayed them with the mean green. When I saw the wasps were weakened I saw my next plan of attack across </span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCwInh3sySHS3thW65wRxOq3vwUkThSgCVMYHNDoZzZ4KF1Y73W58fO5mFu6XmQ21vd3iee0FscaWdGamhENVeAonX_XeWgkRKNW3AyP4rqMXQyz7wiMy0Agr1emzxloHXPiZZqPsn32Q9/s1600-h/DSCF1051.JPG"><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#990000;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322266581706757026" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCwInh3sySHS3thW65wRxOq3vwUkThSgCVMYHNDoZzZ4KF1Y73W58fO5mFu6XmQ21vd3iee0FscaWdGamhENVeAonX_XeWgkRKNW3AyP4rqMXQyz7wiMy0Agr1emzxloHXPiZZqPsn32Q9/s320/DSCF1051.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#990000;">the room..the broom. Well...I started for the broom..and slipped in the mean green fell onto my knees and did a split. I was in awful pain..couldn't move..thought I broke something in my knee. But I was still under attack ..the wasps were now back on the move..and pissed. So I crawled..sorta of..to the phone and called my sister to come help me. I wasn't able to stand up..my inner thigh muscles hurt sooooo bad. She came and helped me..first my killing the wasps and then by getting me to my feet. Needless to say I am terrified of bees.I have no idea why I have this fear. I'm not allergic to them. But I freeze up and get all squeamish when I see one. Anyways, my knees are fine..other than bruising. I hurt for a few days, had a heck of a time walking. lol But now I get a good laugh when I tell this story. </span><div><div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#990000;">I haven't gotten much more stitching done on my touching the sky piece.

I hate when that happens. I am so glad I stitched this on linen. The stitches look so neat and fresh. You can't really tell but it is stitched on a lite blue fabric. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#990000;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#990000;">Today I have to get my house cleaned top to bottom. I am having a party lite/candle party today. Party lite has such nice things but way to expensive for me. I'm having this party to see if I can sell enough things to get the candle tree I want. Gotta sell 150$ worth of stuff.</span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#990000;"></span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#990000;">Brandon is in a new phase. Now when he gets into trouble..he wants a hug. You can be in the middle of telling him not to do something and he will hold out his little hands and say "hug mommy..hug". He hugs me probably about 50 times a day..cause he's not only wanting a hug when he's in trouble..it's all the time. If I ask him to pick up his toys, tell him dinner is ready, if I get up to go to the bathroom, all the time!! But at least he's not banging his head on the floor. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#990000;">We have started potty training..but it's not working. The first few times were fun..and he sat on the little potty chair. But now it's a fight...he says "it's broke mommy, it's broke." talking bout his pee pee. I've tried offering him a sucker if he pees in the potty. But that isn't working. Keith seems to think it's too early for potty training. At what age did you potty train your little boy? Brandon just turned 2 1/2 a few days ago. I'm going to do some Internet searching today see what the experts say. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#990000;">I have been sticking to my diet fairly well. I've had a few set backs with the hurt knee and the weather. One day it was 70 degrees out side with sunshine., the next it was snowing!! I couldn't believe it. Crazy weather. </span></div><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#990000;">But I'm off to do a little stitching before Brandon gets up. Hugs and have a great day.</span> <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5322271317264482690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 181px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVFg7BVQ9j4AM0nFzWtFA81XzJlWyUbqtxdgwVfgPtny3Kgg4y-4s-4otMQAPfLR3U8OvPntBMwPO98OEimc8vKnQ_xxpJbEYVvtGmAOHWkpfRL9NCJZ4izGykn2zbASyecTiqvlkUtEYO/s200/HEChicks_Becca71508.jpg" border="0" /></div></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07320675144100952520noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097647599007032974.post-78130908136478862062009-03-31T03:24:00.000-07:002009-03-31T04:04:50.374-07:00blah blah blah<span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;">I feel like crap. Woke up on Sunday feeling very tired, sore throat,and my head feels like it is stuffed full of cotton balls. I went to work in a very foul mood. And working in a nursing home isn't the place for someone in a mood like this. I got through the day tho, came home and slept on the couch. (tried to sleep on the couch, Brandon didn't like the idea). Woke up Monday morning, got dressed for work..and I just couldn't get myself to go. So I called off. I HATE calling off. But I feel so drain of energy. Working 4 days a week, taking care of a 2 year old, taking care of ALL the house chores, trying to diet and exercise has really taken a toll on me. I feel as if I have the weight of the world on my shoulders and I just can't take it much more. I just want to lay down and sleep and sleep and sleep. I'm tired...and being sick doesn't help matter much. Today I have decided that I will get my walking and exercising done as soon as Keith is off to work. And then I'm going to spend the day on the couch with Brandon watching cartoons. Heck with the house chores..but..I won't be able to lay around knowing things need done. So I will probably not lay around all day. I feel guilty...is something wrong with me? Why can't I just forget what needs to be done and do what I want to do? Anyways..enough depressing talk.</span><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg21xdeRKFr8g0BSifBkcIGWqYf41uIYSkKuvqAWA24wa_LMFNgx-_aP0hBbLNqI-Fm2AfygId1p_hJilI2Sgjrnl4OZPNe3iqTehLPuvthRlVZ_ZOEzLHZrL2Nwx6qUD7Sn4wbxChIC1KU/s1600-h/DSCF1014.JPG"><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5319302249707983698" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg21xdeRKFr8g0BSifBkcIGWqYf41uIYSkKuvqAWA24wa_LMFNgx-_aP0hBbLNqI-Fm2AfygId1p_hJilI2Sgjrnl4OZPNe3iqTehLPuvthRlVZ_ZOEzLHZrL2Nwx6qUD7Sn4wbxChIC1KU/s320/DSCF1014.JPG" border="0" /></span></a><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;"><br /></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;">I have been working on Touching the autumn sky.

I am so close to my goal that I can almost taste it! I've been drinking slim fast and eating protein and fiber bars. You wouldn't believe how full you feel when eating these bars.I've also been doing a lot of walking, I try to walk 45 minutes every day, but I do good to get in 30 minutes of walking. I'm glad the weather is staying nice, I put Brandon in the walker and away we go. He loves it almost as much as I do. I've also been weight training 3 times a week. I LOVE my new weight set. I'm hoping to reach my goal weight by may. Fingers crossed!!</div><br /><br /><div>I've decided to try my hand at house plants again. I used to have many many plants in my home. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9FqdfoIXo-wBcEUa5GrSMGR2_cuO17HK5VR6lIX93nYTsyqrxJRSnTSfyp-gyqPTJnxxYAlqlUq7DDmPm2h4DMofDbyURKQvmiQiwzjInHsRVTGablwDPotTvZD2Uqu6_PqSZb6u0xQWC/s1600-h/DSCF1002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316701365664668930" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9FqdfoIXo-wBcEUa5GrSMGR2_cuO17HK5VR6lIX93nYTsyqrxJRSnTSfyp-gyqPTJnxxYAlqlUq7DDmPm2h4DMofDbyURKQvmiQiwzjInHsRVTGablwDPotTvZD2Uqu6_PqSZb6u0xQWC/s320/DSCF1002.JPG" border="0" /></a>But when Brandon came along I was scared we would try to eat them so I gave all of them away. Also I couldn't keep my cat out of the plants. She would lay them them..flatten them out, break the steams. I finally got sick of trying to keep her away from them. But now I have a new idea..hanging baskets. LOL Worth a try I guess. Here is a picture of my Jade plant. A friend of mine gave this to me.

I can't believe it's been almost a month since I last posted. Whats up with that? Well I've been very busy around here. With the warm weather I have been taking Brandon out side to play most evenings. He loves being out side. And I love the warm but not so hot you can't move weather. So this is the perfect time of year for me. Having Brandon out side is so exciting. He is in the stage of asking "whats that"? So we walk around the yard , him asking the question and me telling him what this and that is. And he love to touch everything! He even picked up the neighbors dogs poop and brought it to me, asking "whats that"? It was soooo gross. Another thing that amazed me was the day we found a frog in the yard. We played with that poor frog for at least an hour. I had to finally hide the frog so Brandon couldn't find it. I'm sure the frog was glad to hop away from our yard. LOL </div><br /><div>I've been doing really well on my diet. All though I've not lost any more weight. I go from 15 to 17..sometimes I hit 19. But I feel grrrrrrrreat. I have energy to play with Brandon, to get my shift at work in and I sleep so much better. Specking of exercise I have a new "toy". It's called The wave, by the firm. It is so awesome. Keith bought it for me after I saw it on TV. I've had it a week and can already feel the muscles in my stomach tighten. I'd post a picture of it but I'm too lazy to search the web for one. LOL </div><br /><div>I haven't been stitching much lately. Work and playing out side doesn't give me much stitching time. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifrkQWESqhsPDjwU0CqhMjVeuEp7aVqRbUPyyL2hydjnPeSdBFIBklY31ySAEAPxB4l8YRZOrtNnv2f-GfUsXkZls3DwWcWX3ftdIWCDF-HExKdOYool1kp4_Oue-FzhSvBadhjijqfJ5o/s1600-h/0903120008gggg.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312774880674163506" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifrkQWESqhsPDjwU0CqhMjVeuEp7aVqRbUPyyL2hydjnPeSdBFIBklY31ySAEAPxB4l8YRZOrtNnv2f-GfUsXkZls3DwWcWX3ftdIWCDF-HExKdOYool1kp4_Oue-FzhSvBadhjijqfJ5o/s320/0903120008gggg.JPG" border="0" /></a>I am working on touching the autumn sky by MIRABILLA.

I LOVE sleeping on those sheets. So soft. I've wanted a set for years and years. I bought him his and hers Ky. (maybe a little TMI?) lol and stitched him the Valentine stocking. (click for bigger picture)Which I just finished yesterday. I think I'm losing my stitching mojo. I haven't stitched much at all this week. I've been either on this computer or watching movies. And usually when I watch movies it's great stitching time. Last night I watched the movie called Cloverfeild. I LOVED it. What a great movie. Also watched a movie called Blindness..what a stupid movie. <div><div><div><div><br /><div>Keith and I got our income tax money this past week. He bought a 46 inch flat screen TV, which we now have mounted on the living room wall. I bought me a home gym. (I'll have to post pictures of it soon) I've had it for over a week and haven't used it. LOL I'm so lame. I haven't' lost any weight in almost 2 weeks. I like to eat..love to eat stuff that is bad for me. I need some major help from family and friends. I've been taking diet pills called slim quick. Been on them for 2 days,not sure If i see any difference with them or not.

My mother come down on Saturday..spent the night. Spent the night on Sunday too. We had some much needed together time. I even called off work on Monday so we could have the morning together. Not the best reason to call off work but I've missed my mother. Most of the time I filled with anger towards here but not this time. She is talking about moving closer to home. She is 3 hours away..in a town that I NEVER go to. I miss her...not her now..but the old her. I don't think I'll ever be as close to her as we once were. But we can always try..see where it goes..but not if she is 3 hours away.<br /></div><div>Brandon got this really great toy from his grandma Bea.

Brandon is having fits where when he gets mad the throws himself down on the floor..when he does this he BANGS his head off the floor. Hard! I don't' know how to stop him from doing this. He's going to bust his head open one of these times. Cause he doesn't care whats on the floor at the time..toy car, toy gun..whatever.. Any tips for me??We've tried ignoring him..tried telling him it was bad..don't' know what else to do.</div><br /><br /><br /><div>Hope everyone is keeping warm.

I might have to visit eBay some time today. LOL Anyways, as soon As i send my exchange partner her package I will post a picture of what I stitched for her. Today I am going to "finish it" Not sure how I will go about doing that. Pillow? wall hanging? Hmmm wish I had some of your all talent when it comes to this sorta thing. <div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>Now for the best news ever! I started my news years diet. Started it on Jan. 3th. I weighed in on Saturday the 10th. I lost 8 pounds! YAaaaaaaaaY! I've been eating a lot of oatmeal, yogurt, soups and baked chicken. I walked 3 days, in the freezing cold, for about 35 minutes. I'm so happy that I lost. It feels great. Now for the others on my team, they didn't do so great. My sister and Sister in law are on my team. My sister didn't lose any and my sister in law lost 2.Which is great for them I guess but the other team lost a total of like 19 pounds! My family is doing a "biggest loser" contest. LOL It was an idea that I cooked up due to the fact that I hate dieting and exercising alone. If I have someone to help push me along I do so much better. But it seems like i'll have to do the pushing and tugging this week. My start weight was 231. I'd like to weigh 195 by summer. My goal weight is 165. That's still 10 pounds over weight but I think it's a good goal for me. </div><br /><div>I have updated my sales album. I have all sorts of good charts in there. I even have Q-snaps with a cover for sale. I have decided that I hate q-snaps. Snaps just don't keep my fabric as tight as I like it. So I'll stick to my scroll frames. Here is the link to my album. <a href="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v11/beccaC/sale%20or%20trade/">http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v11/beccaC/sale%20or%20trade/</a><br /></div><div>email me if you find something you would like to buy.

Seems like he grows out of things so fast. We will be getting him some more things at income tax time. He really liked his cow bowling. Well what he really likes is the ball that makes tons of noise and drives daddy and mommy crazy. LOL Anyways, after opening presents Keith went back to bed. So that left me to clean up the mess in the kitchen. The night before our electric went out. At like 5:30 and didn't come back on in til after I went to bed. So I had all those dishes to do from the baking I did. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggvWE3af3ZmQbsmV_ZtrW4O0-b1sAlGBLtqszxwQzcUYnckjf1B3VoxP3gjtpG5PT7aMLvRVmORD1E5DXfqFrxyZNJ77jDrxNFdYLBjK28F4GUqOXTDw-1VTuzSd-BKTMiIv3wz6UHWp2G/s1600-h/PICT4669.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5284800587848585554" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggvWE3af3ZmQbsmV_ZtrW4O0-b1sAlGBLtqszxwQzcUYnckjf1B3VoxP3gjtpG5PT7aMLvRVmORD1E5DXfqFrxyZNJ77jDrxNFdYLBjK28F4GUqOXTDw-1VTuzSd-BKTMiIv3wz6UHWp2G/s320/PICT4669.JPG" border="0" /></a>(yeah..U read right..I did some baking). Let me tell you that dishes from baking are HARD to clean once they sit all night. While we are on the subject of baking...Let me show you a picture of what made for my sisters dinner(actually it was lunch). I made peanut butter fudge and buckeyes. I also made peanut butter pies and chocolate pies but didn't take pictures of those. Anyone that knows me knows how much I HATE to bake, or cook. My thing is eating...lol.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We spent the morning at my sisters (sorry no pictures of this visit) Then we were off for a 2 hour drive to my MIL's. My MIL was sick with the flu, so she spent most of the time on the couch. But we had an awesome time. Keith's sister and brother's family's where there. Everyone got along..didn't feel the tension in the air that I usually feel when the in laws are all together.

I can't wait.<br /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaJiwi68UTyinRLZG533o9fxQqKSCDnHrCJNBYhetrfZB6PMsaKdQVWOPNSFAOi_y0lzpxWD8eCaWuuodWVt-1UgyS55GbDBpfhCrG-At68ig19V4wW6LA3crIP2eMqk6lg_blvAPRR3jk/s1600-h/PICT4638.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281463280310972770" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaJiwi68UTyinRLZG533o9fxQqKSCDnHrCJNBYhetrfZB6PMsaKdQVWOPNSFAOi_y0lzpxWD8eCaWuuodWVt-1UgyS55GbDBpfhCrG-At68ig19V4wW6LA3crIP2eMqk6lg_blvAPRR3jk/s320/PICT4638.JPG" border="0" /></a>Last year at Christmas time I stitched a stocking for my nephew Logan. I have had it stuff in a drawer since then waiting for Assembly. Well I took the plunge and did it myself. I have to tell you that I was a nervous wreck the whole time. But in the end it wasn't really that hard. It's not perfect (not like my friend cherlys stockings) but it's together and ready to be used. The next stocking will be much better I hope. </div><div></div><br /><div>I'm working on a Christmas ornament still. I found a peice of (I think) linen in my stash that someone sent to me<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2WYWYbDPLhrXBjv117YazUwK11iO2cS-YftJG01c2xKWgYqY6dLdj4uwShFXtFvt89c89cna8BgxO7iLGfC7kvnZqUYgr95SnoF9z1aD5VtN3pnAb5_86GU9_XEjF19lp5PVxvipLziy2/s1600-h/PICT4642.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5281464262685054834" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2WYWYbDPLhrXBjv117YazUwK11iO2cS-YftJG01c2xKWgYqY6dLdj4uwShFXtFvt89c89cna8BgxO7iLGfC7kvnZqUYgr95SnoF9z1aD5VtN3pnAb5_86GU9_XEjF19lp5PVxvipLziy2/s320/PICT4642.JPG" border="0" /></a>. I think it's linen or even weave. It's soooo tiny. The stitches are so small..I think my ornament will be lost on the tree unless I can figure out a way to finish it big but make it look good. I am enjoying stitching on this fabric (what ever it might be). It's a nice change from stitching on Aida all the time. I found a few stocking ornament charts that I am going to stitch up next. I am going to stitch one for my nieces and nephew. (well that's the plan for now).</div><div></div><br /><div>Here is an update picture on my twins! They have gotten so big since I seen them last.

I haven't stitched anything since finishing Moonie. I've been hooked on an online stitching game. It has consumed all my free time. And it's a really lame game so I don't know whats got into me. LOL</p><br /><br /><br /><p>Since I have no stitching to share I thought I would share a little Christmas story with you. Hope you enjoy it. </p><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">A candy maker in Indiana wanted to make a candy that would remind people of the true meaning of Christmas; so he made the candy cane to incorporate several symbols for the birth, ministry, and death of Jesus Christ. He began with a stick of pure white, hard candy. White to symbolize the Virgin Birth and the sinless nature of Jesus, and hard to symbolize the Solid Rock, the foundation of the Church, and the firmness of the promises of God.<br /></span></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh540iTrWsG1cVoCy8aM2FiByA_k3Vk7M_0ww_wwtIA1oN-GZ74mNM1vXL0E1M7j4qYxdAs0YlwV0coalhI5TEcjmTcD4rTP51w-edTgum_TEOiv4_Mukn6n9SYgyLzON9cqVYW1edPFS4J/s1600-h/untitled.bmp"><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280183145993396290" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 169px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 105px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh540iTrWsG1cVoCy8aM2FiByA_k3Vk7M_0ww_wwtIA1oN-GZ74mNM1vXL0E1M7j4qYxdAs0YlwV0coalhI5TEcjmTcD4rTP51w-edTgum_TEOiv4_Mukn6n9SYgyLzON9cqVYW1edPFS4J/s320/untitled.bmp" border="0" /></span></strong></a><strong><span style="font-family:verdana;">The candy maker then shaped his cane into the form of a "J" to represent the precious name of Jesus, who came to the earth as Savior. It could also represent the staff of the "Good Shepherd" with which He reaches down to to reclaim the fallen lambs who, like sheep, have gone astray.<br />Thinking that the candy was somewhat plain, the candy maker stained it with red stripes. He used three small stripes to show the stripes of the scourging Jesus received. The large red stripe was for the blood shed by Christ on the cross so that we could have the promise of eternal life.</span></strong><br /></p><p></p><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpxI53f9MPejqNLG-I3-eSwsuB2HWNLRI5iJhLbasNeJomP8_ouJoZIFZlzkwgH8ftK5RIOyUjBxiKRQgWmFooVb_Ic4gsStybNZYHuN50kooeXD7QddIkpkKg0-Ek6LObyO0ZCEQ5Otnd/s1600-h/beccasnowtree_allytag.gif"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280184659233626354" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 266px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 302px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpxI53f9MPejqNLG-I3-eSwsuB2HWNLRI5iJhLbasNeJomP8_ouJoZIFZlzkwgH8ftK5RIOyUjBxiKRQgWmFooVb_Ic4gsStybNZYHuN50kooeXD7QddIkpkKg0-Ek6LObyO0ZCEQ5Otnd/s320/beccasnowtree_allytag.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p></p></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07320675144100952520noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6097647599007032974.post-20458459821351357242008-12-13T01:28:00.000-08:002008-12-13T01:51:42.143-08:00Good bye Moonie...chart giveaway<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5279209211957833714" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 152px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG7hVldsdnSQ0PlwLjUHmTeyPXOkTR1QYgM1DnZQ5XY6RB79EdaRfAUTFcLQIS9sPC9mP2OdqA4hZFXKOdkYVfutamN4Uj514jpT1rfq2Qo6gsIcEJq3KSxldQt1l5M_iG8mxzSr6dWryB/s200/MCTrio.gif" border="0" /><br /><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#006600;">Good bye Moonie...I can't say that you'll be missed.I am so glad to have her stitched.

LOL I've been begging my boss for my old hours back but policy states that I have to wait 90 days. And IF my position is open still I can have it back. So fingers cross that no one applies for it. LOL Also I'm having trouble with a lady I work with. She is so mean and hate full toward me. Tells lies about me to other workers. And I really like this girl..we will call her Stacy. She is always talking about me behind my back. I just wish she would grow up. If she has a problem with me I wish she would just tell me and get it over with. It's tiresome going to work every day dealing with the same old drama. I'm sure our nurse is getting sick of hearing it. Anyways..sorry for going on and on about it. </span></div><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;font-size:130%;color:#006600;">Today I am having a GIVEAWAY!

I never knew that decorating a tree with a child was sooo hard to do. Brandon kept hang the ornaments on the same branch. I think at one time he had like 6 ornaments on the same branch. He also about knocked the tree down by pushing on the tree to hang an ornament. We had the neighbor boy (which is also my nephew) come over to help. Man oh Man does that boy ask a million questions. But he is great with Brandon. We had a great time putting on all the decorations.<br /></div><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Now for the last picture. My sister bought Brandon some candy called SixLets.

He came out of his room saying "nose" "nose" and laughing. I didn't think anything of it. In til Green slime starting coming out of his nose. I screamed..BOO WHAT HAVE U DONE! I had to get a pair of tweezers to pull the green ball out. Kids...The things he does will have me put in a nut house for sure. </div><br /><br /><div>Today Keith and I are going Christmas shopping. Can you believe I haven't' gotten any shopping done yet! Nothing..natta..zip. And like 3 weeks left til Christmas.

Of course I had Brandon hold it for me so I could get a picture of him posted as well. LOL Just wish he was looking at the camera instead of the ornament. I stitched the snowman on perforated paper.

I keep seeing in the news where people are having a rough time this Christmas season with food, gifts and gas to heat there house. So 1st I am thankful that we have the money to buy what we need. Now I'm not saying we are well off but we do have what we "need". We can't really afford what we "want" right now but we have heat, food and a roof over our heads. 2end I'm thankful for my son's health. I remember the 1st winter he was born, what an awful stress full time it was. Seems we lived at the doctors office. I haven't had to take him to the doctors in a looooong time. 3rd I am thankful for my job, I see lots of people getting laid off, losing there jobs. I work full time in a nursing home and I pretty sure my job is safe. And last but not least I am thankful for my family and friends. If not for them it would make for a boring life. </span></div><br /><br /><div><span style="font-family:courier new;"><span style="color:#cc0000;"><span style="font-size:130%;"><em>Now back to stitching...</em>I have been working on my Moon Beam witch. I can see the end in sight. I know lots of you left comments for me to put her down and start something new. I can't do that..I have to finish what I start. I have zero UFO's. I always finish a project before starting a new. If I don't like what I'm stitching I stitch it anyway. I don't know why I'm like this.

I hate "kitting" up a project. Trying to figure out what sorta fabric to stitch it on, finding the right size scroll bar to use. I think this is the reason I stitch large projects. I think I'm going to start a HEAD design after Christmas is over. I like the idea of a HUGE project to work on. I just gotta find the <strong>right </strong>one. Anyways..I'm rambling on and on.

I got home from work and Keith told me Brandy called. I asked him Brandy who? He said " I don't know she said to tell you Brandy called." I asked him if she left a number and He said" Nope". So I check the caller ID. (Thank god for caller ID). And her number was on it so I called it. Brandy was my BFF in high school. We did everything together,we lost contact over the years due to our different lifestyles, family's and jobs. But she called me! WE have talked on the phone several times since then and we are thinking about getting together after Christmas to catch up on things. She is still married to her high school sweet heart and has 2 kids. One is named Brandon! Same as mine. How cool is that?
