So Sorry You Missed Dinner!
Hi! ^_^ Just thought I'd stop by really quickly and share some meat with ya! LOL This is the pork chop, string bean, and home fried potatoes dinner hubby and I had last night! :-) And yes...It has come to this. Me sharing pork chops and a few words with you, while watching tennis match after tennis match of the French Open.
It's especially important to share on days like today, when I don't want to share non-upbuilding stuff with you. Like the gory details of a night not spent feeling well. BLAH!!...Instead I'd rather share pork chops and non-depressing glorious sunshine!!...which has replaced the dreary depressing rain I was staring out my backyard window at yesterday!!
And besides....I didn't have anything else to share with you today! ^_^
For those of you who were used to reading my daily blog in the past though, I do have some news!...Hubby passed two more of his permit tests for his CDL the other day!! {That's four down and one more driving test to go...after he puts a few more hours in, practicing and training. It should be all over in a few weeks.} We're not exactly sure how having it will change our situation just yet, except for the opportunity to make more money per hour, but we're hopeful that things may get a little easier!!...I'll keep you posted. :-]
See you tomorrow....but don't expect pork chops! ^_^ Have a good day! ♥
Distracted
I'm terribly distracted.
Watching tennis all the time,
I don't even wanna talk.
And it's a struggle writing rhyme.
And I'm wonderfully distracted.
Doing what I love to do.
Whoop and holler at the T.V.,
while I blog a bit for you.
I'm sorry I'm distracted.
And I hope you will forgive
that my mind can not be wrangled.
All my thoughts are in the sieve.
What I'll try to do tomorrow...
which I clearly can't do now...
is to give my full attention
to those who will not get it now!

Another Quiet Weekend Is In The Bag!
I had big plans for this past weekend...to wash my hair, write a couple of important letters, make a dessert for a friend, watch an old movie, etc.... But guess how much of it I actually did?!.....NONE of it!! ^_^ Instead...I watched tennis, crocheted, spent some time teaching, watched some more tennis, ate some really good food, finished crocheting my mint green scarf, and watched some more tennis!! ^_^
Below is the project I'm working on right now. In fact, it's almost done, except for the handles and maybe a big flower on the front. (I'm still debating about that. ^_^)...
*Yawn*...This whole post is just a big yawn-fest, isn't it?! LOL...Sorry. But what can I say. There's nothing going on in my world that worth talking that much about! :-] Or, should I say, not worth talking about in such a public forum! I mean, I love to talk, but I'm not all 'social-media-crazy'!!! ^_^
On that note, I'll leave today's post with the winners of the U.S. Open tennis championships! :-) Congratulations to Novak Djokovic...Maybe next year Roger Federer. :-(
(US Open (Men's Singles) Tennis Championships on Facebook)
And congratulations to Flavia Pennetta. And since she also announced her retirement from tennis, have a good life!! :-) ... See you next year Roberta Vinci. After that masterful 'beat-down' of Serena Williams I'm sure we're gonna be seeing more of you!! ^_^ ...
(US Open (Women's Singles) Tennis Championships on Facebook)
Speaking of 'beat-downs', I'm gonna go and challenge my husband to ten games of 'UNO'! ^_^ I've got him all to myself for a couple more days before he starts his new job. I might as well make sure he's in the right state of mind! LOL Have a good day, Everybody! ♥
What do YOU talk about?
What do YOU talk about
when you don't have much to say?
A short phrase about the weather?
Or the 'fine'-ness of the day?
Do you ask: "How do you do?",
hoping they won't say a thing?
Or just say: "Call me tomorrow",
hoping that the phone won't ring?
Do you lend yourself to grins,
and slight noddings of the head,
knowing big smiles and eye contact
would make you committed to what they said?
What do YOU talk about
when your 'talker' is 'on the blink'?
Not hardly much at all.
Certainly not much as you would think!

How Are Sisters Suppose To Act Anyway?!!
Do you have sisters?!...If so, how do you get along with them?...The reason I'm asking is because I was impressed by the display of sister-love between Serena and Venus Williams last night (Tuesday night) after their tennis match. ♥
They really went at each other on the court!! I mean, extremely powerful serves, forehands, backhands, slices and lobs were flying!! ^_^ Serena won the first set. Venus won the second set. And the third set was ultimately won by the better player...Serena. {Sorry. I forgot to say: SPOILER ALERT! ^_^}
But as great as the tennis was to watch between them, the display of their obvious love for one another, which was shown as they met at the net after the match was over, was even better! Especially since the biggest smile and hug came from the one who lost!! (Venus) ^_^ She squeezed and hugged her little sister and mouthed the words: 'I'm so proud of you!'
Is this the way sisters, who have been lifetime competitors and each other's best friends, suppose to act?!...The truth is, who knows!! They're a rare breed, siblings in professional competition with each other. {The only other siblings I can think of, with the same level of success, are the football quarterbacks, Payton and Eli Manning.}
I would like to think that this 'is' the way sisters are suppose to act!! :-) Love for your sister shouldn't be altered by your profession or money. Love should just be LOVE, right?!! ♥ ... Unfortunately, I'm embarrassed to say that the one time I had to play against my younger sister {we played basketball for rival High School teams} was not all about love!... ***holding my head down low*** I was the older sister and I just wanted to beat her!!!! And I did!! ^_^ I've grown up a lot since then...thankfully!!! :-)
I don't even wanna think about how difficult the situation would've been if me and my sister had news press in our faces with prying questions and microphones!! O_O ***shaking my whole body*** Nah! Let's not think about that!!! LOL Let's just share a song for the girls!! ^_^
Moving on!! ^_^ ... I wanna show you my latest projects!!...starting with a mint green pair of mittens!...
Actually, I didn't start this project with the intention of making a pair of mint green mittens! All I wanted to do was work a mitten pattern up to a certain point, so that I could check out whether it worked well for my girlfriend whose trying to make a pair of mittens for her son. (Her gauge kept coming out too big and she wanted to know if it was possible to work the pattern with less stitches...As it turns out, the answer for this pattern is NO! Not with the yarn and hook she's using anyway.)
As you can see in the above photo, it does work up into a really cute mitten though, when you follow the pattern exactly! ^_^ And now that I've made one really cute mitten...I might as well make the other one, right?! ^_^ So...I will!
In other news, the last project...or at least I 'think' it's the last!...the striped hat, is all done! :-)
If I have enough yarn left I'm gonna make a flower or two to go with it later today...but that's it! :-) Then it'll be onward and upward to the next sister act, tennis match, or crochet project of love!! ^_^ You're welcome to come along if you like!! ♥
Sisters
Sisters-on the family curve
sometimes just get on your nerve;
But, sisters will a purpose serve,
they will your life preserve.
Sisters-sometimes they're at war;
and sometimes they "do" go to far.
All sisters want to be the star-
not follow where you are!
Sisters-they don't care a bit!
When fighting they will never quit!
But, sisters, all your jokes they get;
and, when with you, they fit!
Sisters-are your family.
Sisters, see the things you see;
Sisters, knew the girl you'd be,
and set your spirit free.
Sisters-beside you they live;
and sometimes drain you, like a sieve;
But sisters, their last dime will give,
and will your bad forgive.
Sisters-no one else can knock;
and wow!-the memories they unlock.
A sisters smile can stop the clock-
'cause sisters "They Just Rock!"
Parents-with the seasons flow.
Boyfriends-they will come and go.
Brothers-by your side will grow.
But, sisters ease your woe;
and one shared heart you know.

I Picked My Hook Back Up!!
Guess what?!...I actually picked up my crochet hook this morning and did some crocheting! :-) I think the fact that I sold a couple crochet boutonnieres...out of the country too!...gave me the incentive! :-)
Nothing major. Just a couple 'wuglyee-style' crochet keychains, and a couple of lapel pins. But, at this point, I'm happy to have incentive to crochet 'anything'!! The quietness of my shop, and the disappearance of my sales, did a number on my desire to create! I was starting to question whether I should just close the shop and 'call it a day'! O_O
For now anyway, I'm back!! ^_^ ...
Back to taking bits of colored thread, a metal crochet hook, and occasionally a vintage button, and making 'WUGLYEES'!! ^_^ ... Warm, maybe ugly, but easy to love creations! :-) ...
(Wuglyees)
Sometimes a tiny bit of colorful crochet lapel pin 'class' pops off the hook too!! ^_^ ...
But, for me, it's always a way to have fun, play with color and texture, show off some technique...and buttons!...and maybe make a few pennies to boot! ^_^ ... Soooo...keychain, anyone?!!! :-) ...
And if you need any other crochet items...shawls, scarves, pocketbooks, necklaces, gloves, headbands, etc...pop on over to my Etsy shop HERE! :-) If you see something you like, but you want it in another color, just let me know! ^_^
Oh Yeah!...if you need some poetry, I have some of that in the shop too! :-) ... Okay, that's all of the 'shop talk' I have for today. :-) ... As to other stuff, our car had some repairs done today... $400 worth!! O_O YIKES! I wonder how much 'an arm and a leg' are going for these days?! LOL
Our finances are as sparse as hen's teeth these days!! ^_^ We got some mail today, offering us a free trip to Orlando Florida. An obvious scam, we think, because the letter didn't even have a professional letter-head or a personal name signed to it!...Hubby and I were joking about how we could figure out a way to make the 'scammers' feel so sorry for us that they'd just send us the check for what the trip was suppose to cost...$1,800! LOL...We're not that desperate....YET!! ^_^
And on the sports front, YAY!...'Baby Boy', Rafa Nadal, won his first round match at Wimbledon today!....Phew! O_O I was worried when he lost the first set!...but he re-grouped and pulled it out!! :-)
Other winners were Maria Sharapova, Wilfried Tsonga, Serena Williams, and Roger Federer! :-) Novak Djokovic won his match yesterday....I LOVE tennis! ^_^ I'm also loving soccer right now!...the FIFA World Cup in Brazil! :-)
I have to admit...I hardly paid attention to soccer last year. I was more into bicycling. But since the whole 'Lance Armstrong' and doping stuff, I haven't watched cycling since. It took all of the excitement out of it for me. Kinda sad too. :-( I loved watching the beautiful French countryside views fly by...Oh Well. This year I have soccer! :-) I can watch the goalie's body fly by, when he dives for a ball!! LOL
Okay.....yak! yak! yak!! LOL...Now you know why I stopped writing in a diary many years ago!...I ran out of paper!! LOL Have a good rest of the day, Everybody!! :-)
Distracted
I'm terribly distracted.
Watching tennis all the time,
I don't even wanna talk.
And it's a struggle writing rhyme.
And I'm wonderfully distracted.
Doing what I love to do.
Whoop and holler at the T.V.,
while I blog a bit for you.
I'm sorry I'm distracted.
And I hope you will forgive
that my mind can not be wrangled.
All my thoughts are in the sieve.
What I'll try to do tomorrow...
which I clearly can't do now...
is to give my full attention
to those who will not get it now!

Sooooooo...How Is Your Middle Of The Week?!
Soooooo...it's another Wednesday...or 'Hump Day'! :-) What are you up to today?!...Me?! O_O Well...at the moment I' watching tennis! ^_^ Svetlana Kuznetsova vs. Simona Halep. It's a match that was suppose to start over three hours ago, but it was raining! Ugh! Actually, it's raining here in Massachusetts too...or it WAS! We have a bit of a reprieve for the moment, but we're due to get walloped later tonight!
Surprisingly, it's not enough rain to put my joints and muscles into a spasm. So, I did my exercises, did some studying for the meeting this week, did some reading, etc. I was down-right productive!! ^_^
The choker in the header photo is just for YOU!! ^_^ There's no real reason to share it, except that I saw it...with it's pretty self!...when I was doing a quick scroll through the activity feed on Etsy a few minutes ago!...That'll let you know just how busy I was! LOL All I really was doing was wasting some time! ^_^ (Nice way to waste some time, looking at pretty things, don't you think?! ^_^)
I'm very excited about the quarter-finals at the French Open today! :-) Three of my favorites are playing!...Simona Halep, Gael Monfils, and my 'Baby Boy', Rafael Nadal! :-) ...
I believe that Svetlana Kuznetsova, Andy Murray, and David Ferrer are all gonna give them a run for their money...and it's gonna be fun to watch!! ^_^ Of course, I'm partial to seeing one of them in particular come through for sure!...
Yes! In tennis, I'm partial!! ^_^ What else do I have to do in the middle of the week?! LOL Have a good one! ♥
Why I Love Sports
When I see something done at it's best,
When I see the hard work and the skill,
When I know they could give it no less,
and if more could be given, they will,
When I hear in their voice the request,
to be put in, yes, even if ill,
When the time that they're spending is pressed,
and the love for the sacrifice real,
When the rules of the game they've addressed,
and for them, the price well worth the bill,
When I've felt them embracing the test,
then I love it, and I always will!

Tennis....Tennis.....And More Tennis!!
Soooooo...I guess you know what I've been doing! ^_^ It's been an all day tennis affair!...avoiding rain, body aches, annoying phone calls, and crocheting. O_O Nope! I haven't picked up a needle for a couple of days!
Right now I'm more concerned with the French Open tennis matches than what my next crochet project will be. I think it's because picking up a crochet hook is painful...literally!...It's rainy, and my muscles and joints are in rebellion. Grrr! I'm not complaining too much about it though, because I'm still breathing. Hubby is giving me great body and back rubs. And I'm getting waited on hand-and-foot! ^_^ What's to complain about?! ^_^
Before I go any further, let me tell you that all of the photos on today's post are from the Roland Garros Facebook site. They always have the best coverage of the French Open! :-) The header photo shot was of Novak Djokovic and one of the Ball-Boys having a chat during a rain delay. :-) The Ball-Boy was holding the umbrella for Novak, and he had the young man sit down. Then he gave him a bottle of water, or something, and they sat there for a moment...just chatting. :-) Novak said he made a new friend. ^_^
Rafa Nadal, alias 'my baby boy' ^_^ played a great game today. In fact, two out of the three sets were 6-0!!...
Of course, I've never seen him play a bad match. :-) Even when he loses, he always gives it everything he's got!!
Oh Yeah, Novak won his match today too...in straight sets...
Something tells me that these two are gonna be meeting each other at some time or other. ^_^ ... And it's gonna be GOOD!!! ^_^
Before I slink off, let me say CONGRATS to Maria Sharapova today too!! :-) She's moving on...and will probably meet Venus or Serena Williams down the road. They both won their matches yesterday. :-)
As you can see, my world is very small right now. Sleeping...eating...watching tennis. :-) What?!!!...You got something to say about it?!! ^_^ Have a good rest of the day, Y'all! ♥
All The Things I Love
If I listed all the things I've loved
I could rattle on forever!
Whether by 'order of importance'
or by a poeticly quick endeavor.
Right now it's Tennis...Well, all sports,
and reading informative magazines.
And crocheting, food and music.
Well..that might be in my genes!
I've loved teaching and line dancing,
So many things in my short life.
But I've never jumped from a plane,
or wittled anything with a knife!
With every passing moon
I find some other thing I love.
Whether grassy patterns on my lawn,
or phenomenal skies above.
Yes, if I listed all the things I loved
my words could fill all space,
It comes from curiosity,
and an Ooo-ing Awww-ing place!

Glimpses Of My Friday So Far!
I started today's post with the cute knitted iPod/cell phone sock in the header photo, that I scoped out on Etsy earlier this morning...but the first glimpse of my Friday wasn't that cute!...It was darkness, wind, and lots and lots of rain! O_O
Our 'virtual date' to Mexico is gonna be a welcome change! Mexico City is at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, with only 18% humidity! :-) They're not due to see even a hint of rain until Tuesday!...and by then we'll be long gone outta there!! LOL
Here are some more glimpses of my Friday so far...
M&Ms, with almonds, is the treat I've decided to give myself today. :-) I haven't eaten any of them yet. I'm waiting until we get on the 'virtual airplane' tonight. :-) The chewing will help with the 'cabin pressure'...right?! LOL
A pink and blue glimpse!...
These are two tiny lapel pin 'fronts' I had just enough thread to make....*sigh*...I have to put different colored backings on them because I'm all out of the variegated thread I had to make them....and I can't afford to buy a whole bag of variegated threads 'just' to get tiny bits of these two colors!...*They don't sell these colors individually here.*...Yep! O_O Something else I have to finish!!...*shaking my head*
This is a tiny glimpse of something I already finished...last night! :-) ...
No, NOT the cat!...No!!! O_O ... NO MORE CROCHETED ANIMALS FOR ME!! LOL... I 'did' make the little toilet tissue holder though! :-) ...*Remember the pretty blue yarn I showed you in yesterday's post?! :-) Well, it's now a tissue holder!...sitting on the bathroom shelf in my guest bathroom, holding a roll of my tissue! ^_^ It doesn't have a ribbon on it though, because hubby liked it without the ribbon. :-)
Hubby wants me to make two more. One light green, and one white...for the other bathroom! :-) Apparently he likes the idea of hiding our tissue in plain sight!! LOL...I'll do it. But not today!! ^_^
Here's a glimpse of the ribbon I got today...
I'm gonna thread this through my baby blankets I'm finishing. :-) I'll show you when they're all done.....That won't be today!!...just so you know! ^_^ This is my 'Virtual Date Day'! I'm not doing anything I 'HAVE TO' do today! ^_^
Here's a glimpse of what I'm watching today...
I'm watching my hummingbird feeder...which is just swinging in the wind and getting rained on! :-) I think the hummingbirds are tucked away in a nest somewhere....Or maybe they're already in Mexico!! LOL
If you look in the top left side of the above photo you'll notice that there are flowers on my tree now too! :-) They just popped out today!!! :-)
I'm also watching tennis!! ^_^ Actually, I've been watching tennis all week! But today it's down to the fights for the semi-finals!...Djokovic defeated Ferrer earlier. He's got to play Raonic tomorrow! :-) ...
And my 'Baby Boy', Rafael Nadal, is playing Andy Murray right now! ^_^ I shouldn't be smiling about it though, because the first set just ended...6 to 1, Andy Murray!!! O_O Rafa is getting beaten like he stole something!! LOL...
I think I'm gonna watch the second set with my hands up to my face, glimpsing the television through my fingers! O_O I sure hope Rafa wakes up for the second set!! O_O
Anyway!...That's a glimpse of my Friday so far! :-] From here on out I'm sure it'll be full of giggles and smiles :-) That's what time with hubby does for me. He makes me smile! :-) ...
What does your Friday look like?! ^_^
Eyes
We take our eyes for granted
until some 'boo boo' mars our view.
Then we find ourselves short-sighted
with less things that we can do.
The thought of losing sight,
and seeing life just like before,
is scary, and can shake our confidence
right to the core.
To make our eyes feel better
we would do most anything.
Some eye salve or a hot pack,
even ointments that will sting.
To, every day, appreciate
the eyes that help us see
(and keeping those sharp objects
out of their proximity),
That's what we should be doing,
give those 'Peepers' some respect!
Especially since they get it
when we're sticking out our neck.

Virtual Friday Date
Monday, January 27, 2014
Goodbye Melbourne......Hello East Rutherford, New Jersey! :-)
It's another Monday. A day following a great sports weekend for me. And a great 'virtual' date weekend too! ^_^ We went to Africa and looked at animals and played in the water. Then we popped over to Australia to see the women and men's singles finals of the Australian Open tennis matches. :-)
In that sense, it was a great weekend...except for some moments of sadness.
Rafael Nadal's moments of sadness were different from mine though. 'Baby Boy' was sad because once again an injury stopped him from being able to play to his full capacity. Although, frankly, I'm not sure his full capacity could have stopped him from being beaten this year! Stan was on fire!!!...I'll tell you more about that in a minute.
First I wanna mention my moments of sadness. :-( I thought of my friend Nancy all weekend. (Her memorial talk will be this coming weekend.) :-( I thought about how much she liked to have fun, and travel....And I also thought about what a spiritual woman she was, and how she threw her everything into doing things for people. And how sad her former Bible students would be when they heard of her death. :-(
Thankfully it was only moments of sadness though. Somehow whenever my mind would drift to a sad moment, it would be followed by a happy or funny moment...like when her and I went pre-wedding shower shopping for negligees for her daughter. ^_^ Oh!...we had so much fun in that store!!!!
And in between all of the 'moments' there was tennis. :-] ...
I saw Li Na raise the woman's singles trophy, after beating Dominika Cibulkova in straight sets.
And I saw Stanislaw Wawrinka, the 'Stanimal' he is now being called, beat my 'baby boy', Rafael Nadal, 6-3, 6-2, 3-6, 6-3 in his very first Grand Slam title!! :-] And although I would have liked a different outcome, I have great respect for a good player. And Stan is a great player!!...In fact, he was putting the royal 'beat-down' on my baby boy even before the injury!
So congratulations to Stan!! :-) ...
Enjoy your victory!...for this year! ^_^ You absolutely deserve it!!! (By the way, if you wanna go to the Facebook page that the photos above came from, just click on the photos themselves.)
With no more tennis to cloud my view, I have to move on to other sports! ^_^ And thankfully there's no shortage of sports to worry about! :-)) Next weekend is the Superbowl...football!!!! (American football...Not soccer, which is called football in other countries.)
I'm already packing my bags for East Rutherford, New Jersey, where the Superbowl is being held this year. And I'm setting aside Superbowl finger-food and slider recipes for game day!! ^_^ It almost feels like the weekend already!!! ^_^ ... But it's NOT!! It's Monday. And don't I know it people!!! :-)) I'm like the white rabbit in 'Alice In Wonderland' already this morning...."I'm late! I'm late!...for a very important date!!" LOL
I have some studying to do...a brooch to crochet...a package to ship out...my hair needs washing...etc....Monday stuff!...YIKES!!..Have a good day, Everybody!! See you tomorrow! ^_^
I only have one brain
There have been times when I felt I needed
an extra brain to remember some stuff.
An extra 'noggin' to handle the chaos,
when my life and my schedule got tough.
A much bigger cranium for non-essentials;
Somewhere to go when my brain wants to bail.
An extra universe inside my skull space,
where I could place all my 'Mental Junk Mail'.
But, knowing my thinking, there's no use
having two places for my mind to stretch.
Two places to toss around ideas.
Just more balls of ideas I can't catch!
My one brain is an occupied scramble.
A pink-celled, forgetful and frustrated mess!
Do I need another brain somewhere,
holding problems that I must address?
No, I have enough things to focus on.
Things so confusing and numerous to do.
So it's a good thing I only have one brain!
What in the world would I ever do with two!

Shhhhhhh!....I Don't Wanna Know Yet!!
Okay...nobody tell me!! O-O Ugh! I hate when this happens!...I stayed up last night to see the tennis match between Roger Federer and Andy Murray. I had set my clock to wake me up in 45 minutes...because there were going to be 45 minutes between the match with Dimitrov and Nadal...which my 'baby boy', Nadal won!!..and the 3:30 a.m. match with Roger and Andy!! :-)
It would've been better if the first match had went right into the second, but seeing that Nadal was having a rough time with Dimitrov, I'm glad it didn't go another set! There might've been a different...more unlikable...outcome! :-)
But now I have to do my blog, get the local weather, update some things in my shop, etc....all while playing "keep-away" with the television commentators, and computer websites, that are determined to let me know who won the match!! LOL
The 'Tennis Channel' is replaying yesterday's matches right now. The match between Radwanska and Azarenka is on right now...and looks like it's headed for an upset! :-) In fact, I KNOW it's headed for an upset! I saw this one in it's entirety last night! ^_^ Congratulations to Radwanska!!!!
Okay...for the next few hours I'm eating breakfast, having some green tea, sniffling and wiping my nose...*Sorry. Too much information? :-))... I think I'm fighting a cold or something. Ugh!*...maybe taking another nap (with the alarm timer set this time!!), and waiting for the match with Roger and Andy!!
So, don't try to tell me who won!...even if you already know! Shhhhhhhh!...I wanna pretend it's Tuesday evening in Massachusetts, and I'm just at home watching a little tennis match with my hubby! :-)
You see!...all sunshine and flowers!! :-) ...
Have a good day, Everybody!...LOVE! ♥
I don't feel like talking
I know you won't believe this,
but I don't feel like a chat!
I don't wanna talk today.
That's just not where my head is at.
I'm not all giddy gabby.
I don't feel like spilling words.
I wanna sit and watch the weather,
or the clock, or maybe birds.
My non-communication
only happens now and then,
so enjoy the tempered silence
while I keep a quiet pen.
Tomorrow may be different.
I may talk your ears right off.
You may not get a word in edge-wise,
so today...go play some golf!
