Snow Day!

I apologize to every one who is over their heads in snow. I'm excited for the day off because I know by this afternoon it will all be gone. There seems to be about three inches out there but here in Virginia that might as well be a foot. So I am all cozy and already stitching on Sam's socks. So far this is a fun piece. Once I get over having to cut the Weeks floss( I frustrate over the small stuff) I'm enjoying myself. So my trip to Target was for not as they did not have my lunch sack. I did notice that they have expanded their food section. Must be trying to compeat with Walmart. I don't care if they carry less outdoor stuff but I will miss some of the home decore stuff not that I ever have much cash left over after my stitching spending. I did buy a neat necklace and earings and was going to wear them tonight to Weight Watchers but they might be a little heavy.yea I'm crazy! Yesterday I had a swim buddy who met me at the Y just what I needed to keep me on track. I admire my friend who needs to travel about 30 minutes while I could walk(but never would). I have went swimming three times a week since I joined. It's not so much to aid my weight loss but it does feel good to move more, I don't even take WW activities points. Well if your home to day enjoy your extra free time if not please be safe on the roads. Thank you all for reading my ramblings I love your comments and your blogs.

It's the little things

So yesterday at work one of our contract workers came in with the cuteset lunch sack. It was a little bigger than the one I have which is good because I take my breakfast,lunch and snacks, (a lot of food) and the bonus is it had butterflys on it! I am such butterfly freak) I am an ovarian cancer survivor (12 years- thank you God) and when I was goings through therapy I did some guided imigery and used a yellow butterfly as my guide I would invision the butterfly traveling through my body and healing it of my cancer. It was very empowering and relaxing. So I MUST have this lunch box. I would have gone to Target after work yesterday but didn't have my wallet. So tonights the night. I don't stitch a lot of butterflys but have a lot of jewlery thanks to friends and my daughter. I love it when I get a "butterfly" gift. And I love it when I find a gift for someone that is their special something. What is your special somethingi

Good Movie

Last night I rented Wall Street and enjoyed it. I loved the musical score. Although I'm not a very critical movie critic I did enjoy my evening. I also watched Boys on the Side with Whoppie Goldberg there are very few movies I enjoy watching more than once but that's one of them. I also love the sound track from that movie. I also rented Mother and Child I was so excited to see it in my local red box. Funny story about that movie. It only played at the artsy small theater in our are. My daughter and I were so excited to see it we planned a girls day out lunch the whole deal. When we got to the theater I had read the ad wrong it had played the week before! So I promised I would buy it when it came out. So you can see why I was excited to see it. When I got home last night then I realized I couldn't watch it without her! So tomarrow night I will share my homemade soup with my girl. My son-in-law is going to California for the week so I should have some quality time with #1 daughter. Have a great Sunday

I used a carton on beef brooth and a package of knorrs veg soup mix. I will add some mini bow tie noodles the last hour. When I get home around 12 my house should smell like Julia Child moved in!

Fun weekend plans

I am so excited for this weekend. Have stitchie plans both days. Saturday I am planning to go to a low impact swim class, this will make up for the swim session I missed on Wednesday since I chose to spend the time curled up under the covers. Then a trip out to breakfast. Then my friend will come over and spend the afternoon stitching. I plan to start a vegtable soup in my crock pot, plan to try some new veggies, maybe leeks, any suggestions? Then Sunday my stitching buddies will be coming over , its been over a month since we've all been together. Looking forward to spending time with the ladies. They will also be helping me decode on my giveaway prizes. And showng me how to pick a winner. It has been great fun to see my followers list grow I wish I could give everyone a prize. You still have a couple of days to enter in on the fun. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
