Hi ...

I know technically it is a new week but since I haven't gone to bed yet I am going with it still being Saturday...lol.  Not much to write.  Haven't done all that much crafting this week or anything else for that matter! I am at war with some black ants that keep squeezing their way into one room or another! Every time I get rid of them the pop up a few days later in a different room! Seriously for what reason were they in my bathroom??? No one eats in THERE!!! Anyway other then that this week my truck broke so I am currently using my Father's luckily for me he is an AWESOME dad and has another vehicle to drive! I am not sure what I am going to do about my broken Explorer it has about 277,000 miles on it so do I fix it???? I mean she has gotten me through A LOT!!! What else did I do this week???? Cleaned out the girlies "hair box" and got rid of a TON of hair stuff she hasn't used in years.  My niece & my girlfriend's daughter were both thrilled with their new found "hair candy".  They are so cute!  Went to Michael's today because I was bored....BIG MISTAKE....got a picture frame for my daughter we are going to attach butterflies around the entire frame and put in it a poem she has from her friend's funeral.  He was only 15 and died last summer of cancer.  At his viewing his aunt told my daughter and her friends every time they see a butterfly it is him watching out for them.  Very sweet and I will say she has seen some butterflies in odd places.  I also picked up some beads on sale I am going to make a special little girl a bracelet! And I got some yarn to fool around with in a bright yellow and a bright teal blue.  Once I got it home and started playing with it I decided to make it into a blanket for my daughter! It is one great big granny square alternating colors.  It WAS going to be a surprise then she saw it on my bed.  Of course it probably still will be a surprise if I ACTUALLY finish it....lol  Ok well that is my quick post for this week!  I'll take a pic of the blanket during the week and post it...it's coming out very cute!  TTFN!!! :o)

Just in the knick of time....

Almost didn't do my ONE post this week.  And NO it's not because I've been busy...lol  I haven't really been doing too much.  I had a sick car this week!  Well not all week but Thursday it started acting "funny" and so yesterday I couldn't go to my niece's "Sneak Peek Week" at her dancing school... :o(  She even helped me put it in the calendar on my phone!  Then I had to tell her I couldn't go....she told me ..."well maybe next time."...she is SO cute!  My husband put something in my transmission yesterday so it is "working" a little better today.  I have my fingers crossed! I said a little prayer for her (my car) but I kinda felt guilty asking for help when I knew all those people are suffering over in Japan!  That is such a tragedy it brought tears to my eyes watching the coverage yesterday. 

Okay well I know that was short but if I have more time later I'll post more!  I gotta go do more laundry!!! yuck...

Well I'll just have you know....

No really I'll just have you know I ALMOST posted twice in February.  REALLY!!! I have the draft saved in my posts but I never got back to it.  I don't know why i am lacking motivation!!! It is really starting to drive me crazy.  I mean I was ALWAYS the person who was ready to get up and out to go do SOMETHING to go do NOTHING.  Not now though ....now I am dragging my butt....now I just put it off until tomorrow....now I just sit home.  Who am I?  I can't even answer that question myself right now.  I really really really need to be the DOER again!  What is it going to take???? Anyone? Anyone? (whenever I right or even think that I always hear Ben Stein from Ferris Bueller's Day Off saying....Bueller Bueller) Nothing huh? No suggestions??? Maybe i need to take a class?  Or go back to the gym? (by the way my daughter has been begging to go to the gym a big change from that summer she got a summer membership and went how many times???? ONCE) I need another JOB!!! I mean I love working for my Dad right now.  I get paid a salary and the hours are really SHORT  you can't beat that right? But this economy is killing us my husband is just not getting any work!!! And in addition to the financial burden that puts on us....seriously if I have to spend one more day in this house with just the two of us for HOURS ..... well let's just say i shouldn't be held accountable for what I might do...lol  I mean don't get me wrong he is pretty good....he does all the outside work at the house AND washes the dishes!!! And he will definitely go and pick up the girlie and her friends if I ask....or sometimes even if I don't ask....The thing about him is...well he is GRUMPY and CRANKY and well he'd kill me if he knew I said this he is also VERY nosey!!!! Now don't get me wrong...sometimes he is fine but other times he is....Gladys Kravitz from Bewitched...LOL  So now you understand why I need to DO more....I need an escape...so I don't try to runaway...lol  (ok just kidding about the running away part because I mean really....where would I go?)  I try to use crafting as an escape....And yes it does work a little....but my house is messy and so I don't have enough room to do the crafting the way I want...and the blog and everyone's blogs are a little escape but I can't do enough with my blog and I have no... oops I mean only ONE follower....and well that is one of my BFFs(hahaha) from high school SO....WOW this is random.....I just popped on to do a quick..."What I've been up to" ...post and here I sit rambling and whining!!! ....Hmmm....I should copy and paste the other post from Feb that i never posted (because it wasn't finished) because that kinda says what I've been doing....Ok so here it is....Hi guys! I know you are shocked that it's still February and I am blogging AGAIN! Did you look at your calendar and think "omg! is it March already???" No no ....it's ok it IS actually February I just decided to pop in and write again.  So now what have I been up to...hmmmm... Well now I know I mentioned that I was going to try NOT to wait until the last minute to do my Valentine's Day cards....yeah that didn't work.  So on Sunday night I sat on my bed making Valentine's cards for my niece and nephew and my daughter.  They did come out pretty cute though!  My daughter made one for her boyfriend....NO she did not make her mother one....you'd think she could have done SOMETHING for her mother (yes I am planning on sending her the link to this post...lol) I mean geezzzz write on a scrap piece of paper or ANYTHING....but nope I got nada.  Now I don't really mind too much :o) My husband surprised me last weekend and put in Hardwood Floors in my Dining Room!  Keep in mind we have had the wood for about two years just sitting in boxes in that room waiting...waiting....waiting....and out of no where Friday he starts cleaning out the room and then Saturday he prepped the floor....(At this point I still wouldn't say it was happening outloud because i didn't want to jinx it...hahaha)...and then LOW AND BEHOLD  Sunday he made a trip to the Home Depot at 1030ish and by 11am he starts nail gunning away and putting in my floor!!! WooHoo!!!!!  Now how do I get him to paint? lol  I know better then to push him or it will never get done.  I think my plan will be to go buy the paint and ya know maybe just "start" to "help" out....I am still in the planning stages though don't want it to back fire on me...lol  Well There ya go!!!! I was actually (at the time) waiting until I uploaded my photos to post it....and you see where THAT got me...yep yep yep...no second post in February!!!  i think I may challenge myself to post at LEAST once a week ....twice would be better even if it's just a quick "Hello Blog World"....hmmmmm....I'll think that over....ok well off to pick up the spoiled girlie from school!!!  Ciao~
