Oh yeah!!!!!!!

I managed to hit Chapter's and did the Visa some damage while I was in the city.

This is what I came up with.

Oh God, so many books, so little time.

How will I ever read them all in my lifetime?

Crazy week

Hello all. It's been kind of a crazy week. I had one of the grandaughter's for a day and a night, then I went to Edmonton for a couple of days with my sister. The picture of this house is where we ate dinner. Very nice, and of course I had to show you a picture of my steak. Absolutely delicious. My sister bought myself and my mom, (who was also in the city for a few days), and herself tickets to see a group call Ladysmith Black Mumbazo. (I think that's how you spell it). We went to see them after our dinner. I had never heard of them, but apparantly they sang with Paul Simon back in 1985. They are from South Africa. It was really a very nice evening.

The next day though, unfortunately, my sister had to get two wisdom teeth pulled, but it required surgery, so that kind of sucked for her. She's still not completely over it. It's going to take a while. I drove her car home the 4-1/2 hours it takes us. Pretty quiet for the first 3-1/2 hours while she rested, then she was able to sit with me for the last hour, which made that part of the trip better. She was able to mumble a few sentences anyway. That's all she wrote for now.

Another confession

I went grocery shopping last night, when I get to the till and start pulling things out of the cart, everything has to be lined up and set just perfect. I can't handle it when people just set stuff wherever on the belt. Obviously they just don't care. Ha.

If anyone has ever seen the movie Sleeping with the enemy, I remind myself of Julia Robert's husband, now that guy was seriously troubled. I don't think I'm that bad yet, but I'm going to have to watch out for that. Scary.

Some stuff

Here is the picture as promised of my cross stitch, and where I am with it.

Yesterday I bought the Peace figures, I think they are so nice, I have no control over Christmas, I am beyond help.

And last but not least is a santa I got today, which Karen kindly delivered. I ordered him from one of those home parties. This party was Home & Gift.

We are having a very sunny day here today. Love the sun. Other than that, just a quiet weekend. The date on my camera is shagged up again I notice. I hate that.

Coffee

1 sugar, 2 sugar, 3 instant coffee, 4 milk, 5 water. I am OCD more that I think. DH, anybody who does cross stitch has go to be OCD. By the way, I will take a picture of mine later and post it, so you can all see how it's coming along, cause I know everyone is dying to see it. Ha ha.

Cool pumpkin eh?

I'm Neurotic

There's something I finally realized this morning, when I curl my hair, I count every curl I put in. Never thought much about it, but now I have started counting everything I put on, 1 sock 2 sock, 3 underwear, 4 bra, 5 jeans, 6 shirt, you get the picture. I think that there is something seriously wrong with me. Games that pshyco people play. What do you think?

Our first snow

We got our first little bit of snow. This always makes me happy. All the roofs are white.

Happy 1 year anniversary to Amanda and Matt.

It's still frosty here

I guess it is going to be frosty now until sometime in April. Guess we just have to suck it up. I just finished this book in record time, last night. It is so good. I was reading the reviews on Amazon and they are all good. It is about a man and a woman getting ready to move in with each other and get married. She brought 3 children to the realtionship and as they are getting the home ready, she died. It tells all about his trials and tribulations with these 3 kids. A good read for sure.

Frosty morning

This morning it is -2 outside. All the roofs are frosty. I think we are expecting a high of 0 one day this week, yes, it is coming. (Winter)

I actually bought some floral things yesterday to make a Christmas arrangement for my table. Good old Wal-Mart, allready getting the Christmas stuff out. I bought a ball of white and a ball of red wool too, with filament through it, so it is sparkly. Good stuff for the craft collection, now let's see if I actually do anything with this stuff. Ha.

We had Thanksgiving Dinner at my parents house on Saturday, yummy, yummy, yummy. There was 8 of us. Good times.

The hubby is back to work today, all is quiet here. And that's all she wrote. Have a great day everyone. Can't wait to get the camera back. Hint hint. Neeeeeeddddddd pictures.

Yesterday, I was doing the fall thing, out raking leaves, and cleaning up some of the garden. Some of the plants though, still look so beautiful, I was actually weeding a bit. I can't believe it, weeding in October. We have had a couple of beautiful fall days here the last couple of days. Believe it or not, I actually cleaned out the garbage cans yesterday, Gawd, something's wrong. I developed a bit of energy, it just snuck up and bit me in the ass. It's cause the hubby's home, I gotta make it look like I do some stuff around here. Ha ha. Oh yeah, I mowed the lawn too. I am totally the best wife, just ask me. I have been trying to make one of the snowflakes that I had posted a couple of days ago. Holy, tough snowflake. But I will persist, as I will with a christening dress I am trying to make, I am such a sucker for punishment. I like a good challenge. I will let you all know how those two projects pan out at a later date, stay tuned. That's all I have for this morning, I'll check back with everyone this afternoon.

This one's for Karen

Fall pictures

This is what my search today found. I have a small cornucopia and I am always looking for ideas as what to do with it. The sunflowers in this one look so nice. The pumpkin arrangement is really cute too. Happy Fall Days everyone.

Custom Quizilla! Game

To do this, don't click on the link, click on the actual puzzle picture.

The reason I made this into a puzzle is because I'm trying to be a pain in the ass. It is a picture that I have tried to edit in the past to no avail and I wanted to edit a part of it for obvious reasons. If you can do the puzzle, which shouldn't be too hard, you will see her and I 9 years ago.

In keeping with Fall and Halloween

I am going to try and post all month with a Fall/Halloween theme. Today I found these pictures. The first two I would like to try sometime. Could probably manage the floral arrangement, but to carve those pumpkins, I don't think so. The third picture is what it is starting to look like here, not quite this bare, but pretty close. The trees here are more dense also, we live in the north, about 400 km's from nowhere.

Snowflakes, not the real kind

Karen, this is the link for the snowflakes.

The Harvest Moon

Ahhh, the Harvest Moon. I have to check and see when we will be getting a full moon, so I won't miss it. It always amazes me and it is one of the things I love about fall sooooo much. What we get here looks mostly like the first picture. Happy birthday today Darlene. Have a good one.
