Stitches.

Rainy days in Las Vegas can only mean one

thing . . . MORE quilting.  Susan was so

kind to come over tonight to babysit hangout

with me tonight while the boys went to a

birthday party around the block.

I was excited to almost finish this quilt top!!!

There are five quilts in the hopper that need

backs, binding, and batting!!  I need to get 

on that!!!  

Before quilting time, the boys and I were

busy working in the shed and garage.  We

conquered several large chores including

putting a blanket on our hot water heater,

tidying up the shed, tidying up the garage,

and cleaning out shelves and two file cabinets!

. . . just more blessings to count as I

get ready to put my head on the pillow!!!

Keepin' Up.

Too many posts on quilting?!? Never! As

I wait on final approvals for my dissertation,

wait for kids to come home or be escorted

to and fro, or wait while Luke works on

school assignments . . . 

 Quilting has become a wee bit of an obsession!

 This quilt is from the fabulous fabric

that my sweet 4 gave me for CHRISTmas!

 We have really been working hard around

our home to keep up with all of the 

millions and millions of chores that our

awesome Dad used to do . . . Holy cow!!!

Did you know that there are about one 

million lightbulbs to be changed every two

or three days? Air conditioning vents

actually have pads that need to be replaced

monthly? Lightbulbs all around the outside

of the house go out? Leaves fall from all of

the trees and have to be blown, swept, and

hauled away? The garage and shed must be

tidied up about every 30 seconds after 

someone takes something out and leaves

it anywhere they please forgets to put it away?

The garbage cans must be pushed to the 

curb twice a week and brought up the

very moment the trash man comes or the

HOA will have a complete heart attack?

The walkways need to be broomed? The

trees need to be trimmed . . . Yep, we are

certainly learning more and more about

all of the bazillions of things that our

Dad did that he never even mentioned!!!

Tuesday . . . Thinkin' About Wednesday!

 Simply put: I do not have enough hours

in each day.  What is a girl supposed to do?

 Sometimes the days meet . . . literally.

I go to sleep, just in time to wake up.

In all reality, I do think that sleep is a 

total waste of time!  However, it does

become necessary at some point.

Yep, chores are calling my name and there

is a TON of popcorn to get rid of help my

dear Prince Charming sell.  Don't get me

wrong . . . I am NOT complaining!!! There 

is just much to do and a little time in which

to accomplish it all!

Dissertationwise, my editor, BFF Kris 

has combed chapters 1-3 for EVERY 

dot and tittle.  I have been busily 

attending to the red marks all over 

minor corrections that she has noted.

Tuesday, like every single other day,

brought a bazillion blessings.  I am

blessed beyond measure.
