I Am In Slow Motion Today!!!

(Embroidery Machine Designs by ducidesign)

         Isn't it always the way?!...I went from yesterday having nothing to talk about....to today, having too much to talk about!...and not knowing where to start!...Okay, let's start with the fact that my hubby's idea for my crochet pillow, the iron-on transfer idea, is a 'wash'!...We're now not gonna do that.

      He went to Jo-Ann Fabrics and asked the lady about it and she dissuaded him..."Thank You Jo-Ann Fabrics' employee!! ^_^"...She told him that if he put an iron transfer onto a crochet pillow it would probably make the material pull, and the letters would get all funky when it was washed!...He got her point right away...Whew! Saved my crochet afghan from a terrible experiment!! LOL

     Instead of iron-on transfer, my 'Tigger-ific' friend told me this morning that she'll embroidery my little poem onto my pillow for me!!...And she's also gonna teach me how to do embroidery! ^_^ Isn't that great! Another skill for my brain's crafty bag!

      We made a list of all of the things we'll need to do it...including some muslin fabric for me to practice on....Another trip to Jo-Ann Fabrics coming up!! :-)

      In other news, I got a phone call from my father...UGH!...family issues going on...UGH! UGH!...He wondered if I had gotten a phone call from a particular family member...A particular family member that I haven't talked to in at least a year, and would be SHOCKED if they actually called me!.....

      ...A particular family member who may, or may not, be doing drugs (and not with a doctor's supervision either!!), and who called another one of my relatives recently talking about suicide!! O_O ...Which is better?...No news.....or the kind of news that makes you crazy?!!...Aargh!...Let me see....could this be why my stomach wants to do the fandango this morning....and without musical accompaniment?!..O_0...Yeah! That could be it! 

     But, while I have all of these issues going on...and a few medical issues too this morning, with my stomach, head, and other stuff,...I also have my 'hubby nurse' home with me. :-) He's a handy hunk of man to have around! ^_^ ...And I also have crochet! :-) I sold my eight-color scarf yesterday...and I have to make another one.

      I started it last night...

        I'm on my 4th color...the red...so far. I'll probably have it all done by the end of the day. It's wonderful therapy for a mind that's full of too much.

       Other than the crocheting though...I'm really in slow motion this morning. I have to wash my hair, do some studying, and a few other little piddly things, but dragging myself to do them is gonna be work...WORK I tell you!!....But....off I go to try to get it started!!!...after a little bit more chit chatting with my 'Bestie' I mean. :-)

      Have a good day everybody......a much better...and 'gooder'...day than me!! :-)

I Tell It All

What good's a secret from your friends?
How much of "YOU" do you shut out?
Do you tell them all you know,
or do you hide what you're about?

Do they know how much you argue,
or how much you really spend?
Do they know your real hair color?
Are they not that kind of friend?!

Do they know the way you laugh
when your giggle can't be stopped?
Do they know your honest feelings
after all your hair's been chopped?

Are they totally informed
of the size you really wear?
You might hide it from your in-laws,
but your 'Bestie' doesn't care!!

What good's a secret from your friends?
In a 'Fix' that's who you call!
Then they're gonna find you out!
Might as well just tell it all!
