Did you ever...............

...have one of those days....when you should have gone back to bed and covered your head??!!
If it could go wrong......yesterday it did!!
  • Woke up with the beginnings of a migraine headache....
  • City boy had left a "list" of things we needed from the store....
  • Dealt with the fist two issues...took a pill and decided there was nothing on the list that couldn't wait till today....
  • Put a pot roast in the crock pot.....it was still frozen in some places and forgot to put in the veggies until almost noon.....by 6:00PM the potatoes were still not done and i had to nuke them!!
  • Started the laundry....all is well, so i thought....found little "beggar lice or hitch hikers"...those little sticky things you get on your pants legs, when you've been walking around in tall grass....all over City Boys jeans and socks....had to pick them all off before the jeans and socks went in the washer......GRRRR!!
  • Decided to start a new table runner....cutting went well....but...i dislike those little triangle half-squares......this was a star pattern ...so there was 32 of the little suckers!! Sewed them wrong twice!!.....then gave up....my star pattern is now a square-in-a-square-in-a-square.....etc.....etc.....
  • Then i decided to wash my throw rugs....big mistake....i shook them out first....thought i had done a good job.....NOOOOOO!! ....had to clean about a half pound of sand out of the washer! It was late in the day....so i threw them in the dryer....someone should have saved me from myself......another half pound of sand in the dryer......used compressed air and vacuum to clean out the lint trap and the dryer door seals.........ugh!!
  • And the biggie-of-the-day!!!!.....Ta..Da!!.....Dropped a brand new bottle of concentrated laundry soap on the tile floor of the laundry room.......you guessed it.....the top broke off and the liquid came pouring out!!!.....After mopping many times with vinegar...we can now walk on the floor without sticking .... thank goodness it missed the litter box....!

And then!!!........Ohhh!....Grrr!.... Drop Dead Diva and Army Wives.....were both reruns!!!! YAHHHHHHH....!!

Should have stayed with my original thought and gone back to bed!!

Enjoy your Labor Day!!

Question of the Day.....


Who spiked the water bowl?!

NO....no....no....

City Boy and i have been researching the brand and cost of long arm quilting machines.....that trip to Atlanta convinced him we need one....and who am i to argue....!?

So my question is.......if you own a long arm machine......what brand, why you like that machine, and do you use it on projects that belong to other people?

Oppps....that's really three questions...but....inquiring minds need to know...

Thanks,,,,,,,Enjoy your Saturday!

TGIF....

How can you not have a "Fabulous Friday"...when the day starts with a sunrise like this.....??!!
the ridge and the surrounding trees were a-glow....even the mist cover was pink!
Weather for this weekend ...gorgeous!!

Take a break from the blah...blah...blah.... of the weekend routine and get out there with nature

As North Carolina State Parks say... It's Naturally Wonderful.....and free(that parts from me)..
I'm gonna make a drive-by at the Farmers Market and then make a visit to the local flower nursery ...it's selling fall foliage....3 for $10.......such a deal!!
Then it's time to drag out the straw bale...scarecrow and pumpkins....
Can't wait!
Enjoy
