Begining of the Month

I would first like to Thank everyone that posted on the Closed Doors post. As soon as I can I will be getting one of the debit cards with the visa logo and see if that will work. And if not then I will look around to see what else I can come up with. Plus, if you see anything that your interested in purchasing let me know. I will also be posting pictures of some afghans that I have up for sale later.

The sun is shining and it is 35 degrees. That means t-shirt weather!!! You all think I'm crazy but with the temps around here lately, 35 is almost a heat wave.... LOL! I have to work bingo tonight. But I am so hoping that I won't be to tired and I will be able to start planting my seeds. I am jumping the gun by about 2 weeks. That is ok, it will just give my little beauties a bit more time to grow!!!! I never did show you all the gift that Grim got me for Valentines day. It is a mini green house, plus all the seeds and a book. I will try and get the pics of that too. Sorry I am so far behind with the pictures. I will get it all straightened out here really soon.

I went to the fruit market this morning. I got a ton of fruit and veggies. Then for lunch I made a huge salad. I used red and Romain lettuce, mushrooms, carrot, cucumber, broccoli, 1/4 of mexi-blend cheese, 2 tbsp of thousand island dressing and 3 slices of no filler turkey lunchmeat. I am stuffed, but a good kind. I know I will be able to walk it off at bingo tonight. I am going to see if all the walking bothers me. I hope it doesn't. I hate sitting at the desk doing paperwork. I use to get paid to do paperwork.... hated it then too.... LOL!

Yesterday, watching the USA -vs- Canada in Men's hockey was brutal for me. I wanted both teams to win. I was cheering for both and upset when things didn't go well for both teams. But all in all it was a hell of a game! Congrats to the All of the North American teams and indivuals that competed and took a medal! I had a blast watching and look forward to being glued to the tv again in 4 years!!!

I have to go and get some of the chores done! I slacked over the weekend and now I'm gonna pay for it... LOL!

Gotta Run,

Took a Break

Even though it was completely unintentional, I did take a break. I have been resting my foot which seems so much better without the help of the doctor. My MRI showed nothing wrong, but go to therapy and take pills was his answer. I wanted to know if doing these things would make it worse since I didn't know how I hurt it to begin with. He couldn't answer me. So I have been soaking it and doing mini stretches and it seems to be doing better.

I have been sewing up a storm. I have 4 aprons and 5 bags ready to picture and post on etsy. I am nervous about it. But I can't make a million dollars being afraid can I. My model will be here tomorrow ( I hope he is willing ;o) ). I have a ton more material to cut and sew up. Just haven't had the time.

Since I have been resting I have been watching the Olympics. I love the Olympics!!!! Here is my favorite clip of the 2010 games!
Meryl Davis and Charlie White



I had a bittersweet moment last night! Team USA won against Team Canada in Hockey. I was so happy that The US won but at the same time I was really sad that Canada lost! Being that I am a half breed it is hard for me to pick one side over the other.

We got a lot of snow last night. Ours was the only school district that didn't cancel school. But the roads were bad so I kept the monsters home. They are watching some show with Grim. And his truck isn't running well so he will take my car to work tonight. So I can't work Bingo.... big loss, NOT! I really didn't want to work it. I am counting down the days. 5 more fish fries, bingo until June 21st, my presidency until June 20, School out June 18th! Then I can concentrate on the yard.

We went to look at wood burners last week. I almost put the money down to order one. But good thing I didn't. One of the basement walls is caving in. Sooooooo, that will have to be replaced before I can see spending $3k for a wood burner. That doesn't mean that I won't get one before next winter. I just won't have one before this winter is over. Man, I hate when I have plans to do something and the fates think I need to do something else! But it is what it is!

Last night I cooked up a chicken for the broth, 6 yams were cooked and then pulled out of the skin and put into dinner sized bags. I blended the carrots, onions and celery to make for a little thicker broth. I am going to use some to make a baked potato soup. The rest might get canned or I might just freeze the rest for broccoli and cheese soup next week.

Off to figure out what to make for dinner!

Gotta Run,
