re: another good month!

Hi! I had another good month of life, I guess!

Last night, I worked with my favourite boss! What happened was he was not supposed to work, but the cook didn't show up so it was lots of fun! Lots of breaks and lots of work too. He is interesting to work with. I got the ovens cleaned and the chicken cut up and the bannock made and the 200 hamburgers made from scratch.

I got all my party favours done for the Christmas party for work. I made dishcloths for everyone with their initials on it. Lots of work.

I am going to start my Christmas cards tonight. This way I can mail them out tomorrow, at least I hope to.

I hope to get back to my baby sweaters as I am so behind in my knitting! Once I get settled with all the Christmas cards and stuff.

I also have to get back to my quilting, but too much working. But I have another three days off so I am thrilled!!! A lot of resting for sure.

Take care till next time. I know. not too much to write today....I live a boring life...

re: Days off...Happy Days!!!!

Hi! I am finally getting three days off in a row! I am so happy! those six days in a row was not doing it for me. I was so tired and it was all I could do to keep the laundry up.

Anyway, I had an awesome day at work last night. My favourite boss was working. Lots of breaks, but lots of work done too.

I am getting my party favours done for the Christmas party at work for December 15. Then I am getting my Christmas cards done next week, as I have three wonderful days off next week too. I cannot believe my luck! Last Christmas and the last Christmases back to 2002, I was working all the way through Christmas so there was no time for Christmas cards.

Then I am going to get these quilts made. I am sewing up boxes of fabric out of my sewing room and making blocks. Then I will sew them into quilts. They will be the smaller size so that I can take them to Minneapolis next summer for Bundles of Love which is the charity that I wholeheartedly support in that city. The ladies are great!

I went to exercise class this morning as Ruth from our weight loss support group was hosting it. It was fun! Easy Adult fitness is what it is called. I have been to many exercise classes and this is one of the best! So I will be spending my Mondays there in the morning.

So many things planned! But I must get my dish cloths made...so off I go to those. I am taking my oldest to the bowling alley today, as it is his night for bowling. I will get my knitting done then too.

Take care, and having a great time on my days off!!! drink your water and see you next time.

It's Saturday!

Hi! It is now Saturday! I can take a breather...Whew!!! I worked Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday night, Thursday morning, and Friday! It has been a horrible week! The only good thing about it is the cheque...I have to work tomorrow (Sunday) and then Monday and Tuesday, and then I am off for Wednesday and Thursday.

I am starting my own block of the month as the guild is not having one this year. I have September and October blocks done and I am making two quilts. I have to clean downstairs today and then tonight I hope to get November blocks done. It is the material that I bought in Buffalo, WY when we had the water pump go on the motorhome.

I am hoping to get back to the baby sweaters again. I am a bit behind in them. I will get on them soon, I hope. Once it settles down at work...

I am trying to get over this cough that I have. I think that it is almost over but it is because of my dh and his germ spreading. Max is all better, thank goodness!

The snow all melted and I am certainly happy about that! It is Spring outside or Fall and the lawn needs to be mowed...

Max's bugs are all gone and he got a real haircut at the barber's. What a thing to deal with...bugs and the flu. You think with two bugs that they would cancel each other out 8-)

Other than that, life should be back to normal after Wednesday...I hope...

bye till next posting and drink your water!
