oh it just makes me so mad

I am just so confused. I do not understand, at all, how

doctors are able to do the fantastic work on my spine,

take care of deadly infections with ease, make my

depression just *poof* go away. But. They cannot

make my neausea go away.

Really, I just don't get it. They say my stomach

lining is swollen. There's no sign of any of the

icky things that can go wrong with it. God knows

they tested for enough of them.

All I want is one more pill to take to make me

be able to enjoy a bowl of spaghetti and meat

balls (I dared to have some today with in half

an hour I was sick sick sick). Sometimes a

cold glass of water, tap cold, not ice cold will

make my stomach roll. Why can't they

find something to make it stop? I'm just

so confused.

I'm thankful for/love

spaghetti and meat balls

flat rate mailing

Am looking forward to Sunday, a new day,

a day I get to spend with Bob.

about this quilt I'm making

I'm working on this raggy quilt thats for Wyatts

birthday. Its my first attempt at making one.

And my 3rd quilt I have ever made. And its

the hardest.

You have to sew them backwards from regular

sewing, the seam is on the outside not hidden

inside. Its so against what your used to doing,

so hard to get the pieces pinned together right.

After much thumb poking and finger nicking,

I have just about got it all pinned together.

I started sewing strips today. And when I

had a few sewed up, I pinned a few rows

together and thought I would get a few of

those sewed up to see how it was starting

to look. Oh my gosh. I have ripped out

more seams than I have finished. The fabric

is sliding out of alignment...blah blah,

my fingertips hurt!ha!

All the reading I have done on these quilts say

they are easy, done in a day. Yea right. Maybe

it can be done. Not by me! ha! But I'm giving

it my best shot and so far its looking pretty

cute! I LIKE IT!

I'm thankful for/love

nice neat rows of stitches, on fabric, not me.

I'm thankful for tomorrows fresh start in a

new day!

so sew so

I'm obsessed. Patterns. Fabric. Trim. Cutting.

Basting. Sew. Sew. Sew. My days are filled with

all of it. I have projects lined up. Projects in my

head. Matching fabrics and trim. What matches

who. Who would like this. Who would like that.

Bob is glad I have something to fill my days

with. Me too. I still have genealogy, but after

so long in the computer chair, I have to move.

With sewing, I always have some hand

basting to do so I can change seating. It

really helps. I have sewing stuff strewn from

sewing room to my chair. Its great! Personally,

I love it!! Mess usually makes me crazy. But

this doesn't. weird.

But as I think about that, it really isn't weird.

I finally can have a mess. A mess of MY stuff.

Its not hurting anybody. Not in anybodys

way really. And finally, NOBODY is telling

me I never clean up, I'm messy. Is it

no wonder I love Bob so?

I'm thankful for/love

with things that make you smile.

simple things

I have noticed a new trend of people being thankful for

the 'simple things'. Not in just blogs, but on face book

and on myspace. As I read those notes, I realized

its what I have been doing with my loves and

thankful fors.

As I think of all the stuff I have listed, I realized

that they were the simple things. And that they

really are the best things. They make me smile.

Feel good. Happy. Loved. I think thats pretty

cool.

I am sorry now that I erased my whole 'old' blog'.

I just had started getting pretty negative with it

and I did not like how that made me feel. Also,

as I usually do this late at night, those bad feelings

were taken to bed with me and made for alot

of restlessness. And heaven knows with the

pain I deal with I have enough restlessness

as it is. But I could have saved the loves and

thankfuls.

Anyways,

I love Bob's moustache

I love a bargain

I love glittery trims

I love sparkly picture frames

I love the feel of clean hair on my shoulders

I love Priscillas blog

I love Kathys lasting friendship

I love the thought of my 40th reunion

I love reconnecting with old friends

I love raisen toast

I am also thankful for all of those simple things

above, that they are in my life!

mixed up days

Bob is working over time again this Friday, he did

last Friday. I don't mind. This over time will pay for

the new receiver he just got. So it all works out fine.

Its just his working on Friday nights just gets me

and my days alll mixed up! We also usually go

to the Commissary on Sundays, not this week.

Tomorrow. So I am going to be soo confused

tomorrow and Sunday. I will not know when

I am again until Monday when he goes to work

I'm thankful for/love:

all the rain we gotten as we have so needed it.

Brr I'm cold!

I'm thankful for my lift chair

I'm thankful for Bob's lasting love and care

I'm thankful for my dad's continuing good health.

I'm thankful for the ability to keep on learning!

I'm thankful for my many hobbies

I Love watching the Bachelor

I love 'gathering' fabric

I love finding great new patterns.

Its a new year, so I'm guessing I should be

coming up with some new years resolutions.

But I'm not. I really think they are kind of

ridiculous. If your living your life as a good

person, wife, husband, child, lover...your

happy, your spouse is happy, why do you

have to change just because its new years?

Say ya get a little sharp tongued cuz hubby

didn't rinse his dishes, so just shut your

mouth and rinse them for him. You

should not have to resolve to not nag

him. You love him, so big deal, be quiet,

its just a dish. See what I mean? OH well,

thats just what I have been thinking about

lately. If it made sense, great. If not, oh

well go make a resolution or something!

Loves you all!
