I always look forward to my days off because I want to do this or that and somehow I can never choose what I want to do first or I get sidetracked by something I didn't plan on doing or had to do (like laundry) and when I look up the day is gone. Oh well.
I guess I will put my roast in the oven and curl up and read until it is ready! LOL
It is cool and dreary (cloudy but not raining) here today so I guess if I was going to lose a day, today is a good one to lose!
I had hoped to be stitching today but by the time I gto finihsed playing on the computer,went to help my MIL shower, and ran some errands the day seemed to be about gone. I am at the point where I am thinking of a hot bath and PJ's.
I found something today that I would like to share. An Army of Women This is what is says on it's site.
The Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation and the Avon Foundation, a global leader in breast cancer research, joined forces to launch the Love/Avon Army of Women.
Our revolutionary initiative has two key goals:
To recruit one million healthy women of every age and ethnicity, including breast cancer survivors and women at high-risk for the disease, to partner with breast cancer researchers and directly participate in the research that will eradicate breast cancer once and for all.
To challenge the scientific community to expand its current focus to include breast cancer prevention research conducted on healthy women.
Join us in this movement that will take us beyond a cure by creating new opportunities to study what causes breast cancer—and how to prevent it.
We took MIL to the doctor yesterday to have her post op and everything is going nicely. They put her in a nice neon pink fiberglass cast and she is moving along well. We are hoping that this is the answer to at least one of her problems.
I am off today and have some errands to run and calls to make but I want to stitch some too. The weather has turned cooler so I feel more like playing around. I purchased the Wendy KC designs Bee Collections 1 and 2 and they luckily found some cute Bee fabric so I may give that a go. I am also working on Emie Bishop's a Quilter's Garden which is a lovely hardanger piece.
This is off her site. I have over half of the outlining done. It is a relaxing piece to work on right now but I am sure that will change once I have to start the cutting and wrapping!
I have been playing on facebook and connecting with old friends which is a lot of fun. It can really take up some time though when you get messing around! LOL
Ok, I guess I should get moving. Day light is wasting!!
We got to take our long awaited trip to Hilton Head. I thought we might not at the last minute when after a year of hemming and hawing, the doctor's finally decided that they needed to operate on MIL's foot immediately. We managed to get it scheduled for this week and get all the testing in so we got to go AND got to leave all our burdens here.
Hilton Head is an amazing place. It was great because the beach was a short walk across the parking lot, there was plenty for the boys to do when they weren't on the beach, it was not crowded at all and the sea food was amazing! We had fresh off the boat shrimp which has probably spoiled me forever. The she crab soup at the Crazy Crab at Harbor Town was amazing too. We had a restful week of exploring, playing and just plain old relaxing. Considering we didn't get our annual trip to New York this year, we really needed it.
We came home to MIL's health issues, job interviews for Tom, Tommy having drill and Mark getting sick... We are trying to hang on to the glow though!
