New Craft

Once a week I volunteer at a local non-profit community place that re-sells goods and handmade craft items. I've really been enjoying myself. Up until today I've mostly hand tied quilts and priced items for sale. Today Dorothy, the crafting director, decided it was time for me to learn how to weave rugs that are sold down stairs. The monsterous looms are intimidating and I'm not so sure I'm ever going to master the craft, but I'm trying. The photo below is the rug that I'm making. What you see took me about two hours to weave. I don't know if I'm just super slow or if that's really how long it takes to make rugs. Dorothy chose the colors this time but she said after this one is done I can chose what colors and fabric I want to use. I have a wall of colors about twelve feet wide by twenty feet high filled with bins of fabric. I don't have a clue what I'm going to pick. I might just choose colors that fit my house and then just buy the rugs myself.

Pistons game

A vendor gave my husband VIP tickets along with parking to the game tonight. For two weeks Steve tried to give the tickets along with a full days off so they could travel. Ironically no one seemed to want them or have time to go. So we decided to use them. We're not basketball fans but why waste them? The seats are two rows up from the court so we should be able to see well.

Mornings for me generally start out with a diet coke and Facebook. So that's what I did this morning, drink and scroll until I came upon this....

Time to suck today's dick!

I really hate Wesnesdays.....

This is from a 23 year old girl who's goal for 2013 is to remain positive, oh and get on The Bad Girls Club. Such a weird mixture of goals because the bad girls club is no where near positive. It's probably my age but I honestly don't see how relating the day to sucking dick is positive. Perhaps her desire to get on the bad girls club is more important than a positive attitude that she claims she wants.

Reading the 23 year olds comment isn't necessarily a negative for me though, it's more of a reminder to pay attention to my own words and actions. My Wednesday is all about the smile that is on my face and the gentle treatment of others as I go through my day today. How is your Wednesday?

A girl with a kazoo

Evys two favorite toys, a kazoo and a mirror. The kazoo has been in her mouth since she woke up an hour ago and the mirror has been in her hand almost as long. Both toys are pretty gross. There is saliva dripping out of the bottom onto the mirror. She's having fun though.

Miss Goodwrench

As you can see from the picture I'm in Ohio this week. Casey and Caleb broke up and she just needed her mama. So I'm here to help her get some things done and help her figure out which direction she should go next. I really want her and Evy to move into my home but she's resisting. Much to my disappointment. Part of Casey's to-do list included putting her birthday gift together for Evy. Of course Evy had to grab a wrench or three to help. I laughed my head off watching her get into trouble. Every time Casey put a piece on the bike and got it ready to tighten, Evy moved it and Casey had to place it all over again.
