Our House Part Two

[marpan79]

I'm still here

 

I've slept the whole day away off and on. Did no crafting or reading and march madness watched me all day, I didn't see any part of any game

 

Anyhow, I'm waiting for some soup to thaw in the microwave so decided to check in. Other than that i haven't been downstairs any longer than to get a drink and this is only the 3rd time I've emerged from hibernation I'm still not feeling well, but do feel like it's just starting to turn around. I'm going to eat a bit of this soup, then take a full dose of nyquil (I usually only take half ) And call it a night

 

Mary is STILL in the ER and they're admitting her mom, but she didn't get a room yet!!!!! She was on her way there at 5:30 this morning At least she did bring some yarn and magazines with her They are running a series of tests to rule out a minor heart attack and I think they were supposed to do an ultrasound as well Like I said I've been in and out myself so I'll have to text her to see if any the tests have been done.

 

Julie - I think the oblong baby rr could be cute if the ripple pattern was kept along the sides And maybe it's the colors but I think it reminds me more of a table runner or a carpet

 

Cindy - Love the baby shoes and doily ghan

 

Kiyo - a couple days is better than no days

[eurolyons]

3-If money and time off from responsibilities wasn't an object , would you be adventuresome enough to close your eyes, point to a state on the map and move there for a year ? Yeah. In fact that's basically how I got to Germany...I mean Hub-E got a job, but we weren't married or engaged yet, but I was only working temp, I was in a position to pick up and move any where...do it again? Not right this minute, but maybe in 10 years or so...I wanna stay home right now.

**************

 

So...been busy crocheting hats...and other things...got a new sewing machine, a Viking Sapphire 875 Quilt machine (even though I don't quilt and have no desire to learn, however, I do work with layers and thick stuff like vinyl and leather...) bought it at the recent Sewing Expo I went to a couple of weeks ago. I named her Viveka Bleu and she really is like the daughter of my late Viking, Kirk Douglas, and my Pfaff that I traded in for Viveka, Margareta Stieff...she has a lot of the same whistles and beels that Kirk had, plus a few goodies that Margareta had and then a lot of stuff that makes her her own person...so to speak. I've only played with her at an orientation class last week and yesterday I mended a shirt for Hub-E...however, I have a bunch of projects I'm planning on doing with her. She's a beauty...

 

Still rehearsing the Brahams in German. This coming Sunday though, I will be singing the 4th movement from this Requiem in English at the Methodist Church. Then in a couple of weeks after that will be singing the two performances (in German) at the Free Evangelical church...then I'm taking a serious break from singing...have so many other things stacking up on my plate.

 

Hub-E and I did a Flex 6 game plan with our Seattle Mariners...our first game will be Mother's Day and I cannot wait. We watching a Spring Training game yesterday on tv. We didn't win, but we are so happy that baseball is being played somewhere!

 

Hope you all are doing good...I'll try not to be so scarce.

[imanurse55]

Glad to "see" you again, LeAnna- seems like you've been very , very busy! Enjoy Vieka Bleu!! I'm sure there will be some nice creations made! I'm also glad that baseball is back. I'm hoping to finally get to the new Yankee Stadium this summer for a game- DD's BF knows which trains to take so I"m hoping to catch a game with them- the tix are expensive- so it'll probably be a one time thing! It's actually cheaper to catch a Yankee game up at Fenway against the Red Sox, so I'm hoping that my oldest and I can catch one of the games again this season! We all had a blast last Mother's Day weekend up there!

 

Marisa- Sleep is probably the best thing for you- I've got March Madness on now- and so far I'm doing pretty good on my bracket- but it is still very early!!!

 

I'm on the last round of the border on the baby ghan and then I have to weave in ends!

 

Forgot to mention why I like St Patrick's Day so much- My Dad and Mom met at the NYC St Patrick's Day Parade back in 1951! And my DH and I had our first date on St Patrick's Day in 2000.

 

Off for the night! See you all in the morning!

[imanurse55]

DH just got home and brought me a dozen roses- to celebrate the anniversary of our first date! Sometimes, he really surprises me!!!

Happy Anniversary Joanne!

[Gardener]

 

Cindy- First off, those booties are just too cute!!! And I like your doily'ghan- and i must ask--what mistake??? I couldn't find it! Have fun planning the shower

 

 

Thanks, Joanne, The mistake is there, but it isn't very obvious in the picture.

Congrats on reaching your WW goal.

 

Shower is all planned and will hopefully turn out as well as we envision.

 

 

Cindy - Love the baby shoes and doily ghan

 

 

Thanks. Hope you feel better tomorrow. Hope Mary's mom has a room now.

I know that when we are busy, patients have to wait a long time for a room to be available. When my FIl was admitted for pneumonia a couple of months ago, they finally tranferred him to another hospital where there was a room available. (same hospital group, just a different campus)

[Gardener]

LeAnna congrats on the new sewing machine. Nice to see you again.

[JulieKay]

Hi gang

Last check in for the evening . Sounds pretty quiet in here tonite . We all need to be quiet so we dont wake Marisa,but if she took a full slug of the night time cold meds, she may be snoring like a buzz saw right now,so we could all have a square dance and not wake her .

 

LeAnna

So good to see you again ! Just drop in as you can . We don't penalize people if they dont heck in every day. If we did, I'd have some mighty hefty fees to pay !

Have fun with your sewing machine ! Show us something pretty you make with it when you get it done !

[eurolyons]

Hey everyone...

 

Yeah, I'll share pics of sewing projects when I get something done...I just feel like I'm dragging a bit (mainly because of the singing...but that's just about done...then of course, something else will take it's place for a time...)

[JulieKay]

1- Are you wearing GREEN today ?

No

 

2- Are you superstitious, like do you believe any of the old sayings about good luck or bad luck ?

I think I believe in some things like what goes around comes around ,and we are all punished or rewarded in life at times for things we do or dont do. I also believe that we are supposed to learn from everything that happens. some things are harder to figure out than others though .

 

3-If money and time off from responsibilities wasn't an object , would you be adventuresome enough to close your eyes, point to a state on the map and move there for a year ?

I think it'd be such an adventure to move to a place where you didnt know a soul and start all over again .

 

4- What is the CHEESIEST pickup line you have ever heard ?

Hey Baby,whats your sign ?

 

 

5- Name a tv show where an animal is a main character,and what is the animal's name . I think when I was little there was one on called Cleo , it was a hound dog of some kind .

 

 

6- Cartoon character you are most like ?

Sometimes Popeye,sometimes Bluto .

One day is torture . Would depend on where we were. If we were on a vacation, I could go for lots longer .

 

8- Have you ever or are you ,currently a member of another crochet/craft online group ?

I kinda float into Ravelry sometimes,but mainly just to look at patterns .

16 -Which character in Wizard of Oz does your personality most resemble ?

I could somedays be the bad witch, somedays be the scarecrow .

 

 

17 - If you won the lottery and HAD to give half of it away to a charity,what would you donate it to ?

.

U S Grant . Loved reading about his life, I think he was unfairly judged and had a very interesting life .

I think they were called BUSTLES -- those wire things they wore in the back of their skirts to make them poof out .

 

 

20- Which celebrity cook would you like to meet,and what would you like him/her to make for you ?

Gordon Ramsey --- sausage gravy and biscuits ..... I remember one year he had the new people make their "signature dish" and a guy who owned a diner made gravy and biscuits. Gordon had no clue what it was and hated it. I'd like for him to learn to make it .

[teakaycee]

Eveninig House.... wanted to pop in real quick with an update.... I'll have to go through posts later..........

Ken had a scope done today... the spots on his lungs are getting bigger and they have to find out what they are .... NOW. We wont know the answers to the tests until tomorrow.

My son Michael is one week away from being in remission from this recent Nephrotic relapse. I'm watching him real close. I cant have him worry about his dad.

tip toeing through the house checking the doors pulling the blinds. Don't want to wake anyone up. Hope you are all sleeping well, especially the sickies and those with great stresses in life right now.

setting the coffee maker on auto brew (doh!) for the morning. Maybe it won't float horseshoes. Set up a 2nd one for hot water for those who would rather have tea or cocoa

 

I can open my door and hear the sounds of froggies!!! First ones of the year, even though they are cheating froggies ..they are in the greenhouse where my koi stay for the winter. Gets nice and warm in there during the day!

F fully

R rely

O on

G God

You might not look at a frog quite the same again

[imanurse55]

Good morning!

 

Mary2- Thanks for setting the coffee on auto-pilot- I awoke to the delicious aroma and have almost finished my first cup. You are right ---I will never look at the word F-R-0-G in the same way again! Hope you have a wonderful day.

 

Tammy- Thanks for the update- and prayers continuing. I hope that YOU will be able to get a little rest! You can't take care of everyone when you are run down. I also pray that your DD will step up to the plate and get her act together with HER kids!

 

Marisa- I hope this morning finds you feeling better after a good day of rest, meds, nyquil and more rest!

 

Cindy- Have a good day at work!

 

Not much new to report, other than I'm glad it's Friday and that we are going to have warm temps today! Supposed to rain tomorrow with lower temps and then partly sunny on Sunday and rainy the beginning of the week. I guess the April showers will be arriving early! We really don't need more rain- there was lots of flooding in the northern part of the state from the last rains.

 

Off to get ready- curtains are open even though it is still dark out- but this way, maybe when the next one wakes up- some of the light will be able to shine through the windows!

 

See you later!

[Wrennie]

Hope your day goes well. We'll be here when you get back!

 

 

Then I woke up just after 9 and my temp made it to about 103 so I called the doc and went right over. Luckily they had some cancellations this morning so I didn't even have to wait when I got there I have a sinus infection and he gave me an antibiotic which I just got home from filling, had some toast and took the first dose. Decided to drop in to update you before I crawled back into bed. If I wake up feeling better after the meds get a chance to kick in, I'll truck into work later on I feel bad knowing that Mary's not there either We'll see how I feel and go from there

 

I hope you all have a great day, but right now my bed is hollering for me

 

Feel better!

 

Luke is much better - the Dr. said it was probably a virus that he is seeing lots of right now. His fever is gone and his appetite is great!

 

Glad he's better!

 

Here are those baby shoes I've been babbling about:

very cute!!

 

Another finish for today, doily style baby blanket. It's my own design, and is about 40 inches in diameter, which is a bit bigger than I intended it to be. Yarn is Caron Pounder in lilac. It will also go to the local pregnancy resource center.

 

(I'm not exactly getting a lot of cleaning done here...but there's still time.....I think......)

 

Cute!

Good morning ladies

 

I'm up and ready for work, just had my bfast sandwich and going to head out a bit early to pick up some dayquil on the way My fever is down but still have quite a bit of congestion going on.

 

Mary's mom finally got a room last night at 10:30!!!! Amazing! The heart attack was ruled out and the ultrasound came back good as well They will probably send her home later on today with monitoring instructions for her since she already has so much going on

 

Julie - I didn't hear a thing last night, I don't think anyone even tripped on the big girl panties Y'all could've shot off some fireworks and I would've been none the wiser

 

Joanne - Happy first date anniversary

 

Tam - Remember to take care of yourself in the midst of taking care of everyone else :hug Glad to hear that Michael is close to remission and Christopher didn't need a stint....continued prayers to your whole family

 

Cindy - Thanks for the hosp input for Mary's mom. They went to that specific hospital because that's where all her mom's stuff is at and I guess they have a great cardiology dept So, apparently they had the room ready, but had to wait for the bed to get there

 

I'll see y'all later

[Wrennie]

Glad you're on the mend Marissa.

 

Good news on Marys mom, hope all is well with her.

 

HEY! I just noticed I'm close to hitting 1000 posts!

[Skysmom]

Good Morning, Ladies. Yesterday was great...3 hours of uninterrupted crochet time. My sister and I are meeting at our parents' house to take them to lunch for mom's birthday...not looking forward to this because mom always causes some kind of scene with waiters, etc. Her Alzheimers is really progressing and they are still refusing to move to assisted living or to have live in help.

 

Luke walked on his own yesterday! DD went in to get him out of his crib after naptime, set him on the floor and he walked straight across the room to see Lucky, the cat. He's taken a few steps before, but usually decides crawling is faster.

 

Sorry, I just realized this is all about me. I hope everyone has a wonderful day. Any special plans for the weekend? It sounds like lots of you are finally seeing signs of Spring.

 

See you all this afternoon!

[judianne]

Morning, peeps!

 

Jules...I think the bassett hound Cleo was on a show called "People's Choice" - I think:think

Tam...you're all in my prayers:hug

[busy-bee-lmt]

Good morning, housemates. It's another beautiful, sunny day here. I picked up some drapes on clearance at WalMart on Sunday to put in the office. Finished hanging them yesterday, but have to move one down a few inches to balance it with the rest and then have to shorten two of them. I'm very pleased with them, as is John. And they make a HUGE difference in the amount of heat that builds up in here. They're really good ones and I got all 5 for about $30, which is about what one of them would cost at full price.

 

I finally got through to the oral surgeon yesterday. Just kept calling every 5 - 10 minutes until I got through. I have an appointment for an eval on Monday at 4:00. Eating is a royal pain. One good thing is that I should end up losing some weight. What a way to do it.

 

Kim's blood was too thin, so we had to skip two doses and she goes back for a recheck on Tuesday. Wish I knew what was causing this. It's worrisome.

 

John and Mark are going to the hunting lodge again this weekend. It's the final weekend to do prep work before turkey season starts next weekend. And they want to see if they caught any more pigs in the pig trap. The meat from the last batch is also ready to pick up.

 

Forgot to mention why I like St Patrick's Day so much- My Dad and Mom met at the NYC St Patrick's Day Parade back in 1951! And my DH and I had our first date on St Patrick's Day in 2000.

How very cool!

DH just got home and brought me a dozen roses- to celebrate the anniversary of our first date! Sometimes, he really surprises me!!!

WOW!!! Sounds like a real winner.

See you all this afternoon!

 

 

~honey~~ it's ALL good it's all about yoU!!! We like to hear things like that- and You're proud!!!!

Good Morning, Ladies. Yesterday was great...3 hours of uninterrupted crochet time. My sister and I are meeting at our parents' house to take them to lunch for mom's birthday...not looking forward to this because mom always causes some kind of scene with waiters, etc. Her Alzheimers is really progressing and they are still refusing to move to assisted living or to have live in help.

Hope this time it all goes well, or at least of good as possible.

WOW!!!!! Now he can really get into things!

I am working on the quilt for my niece's newest baby today. I have decided that the part that I like the least about quilting is making the sandwich of the top, batting, and backing. Putting in all those pins to hold it in place and keeping every thing smooth during the process is just a pain in the (you know where.) Most quilters dislike the quilting, but I don't really mind it and even kind of enjoy seeing the design coming to gether. The designing and piecing the top is the most fun, of course.

 

Have a good day everyone.

 

Hugs and prayers to Tammy, Marisa, Cheeria, and everyone else who is under the weather. :hug

I feel for you -- the word MOM and BIRTHDAY in the same sentence gives me hives . My mom's birthday is literally the worst day of the year ( due to her behavior regarding it ) .

It is the best day because Cam was also born on the same day .

My mother absolutely HATES her birthday . We all know not to SAY anything about it. When they used to live here, I'd buy her a cake, but wouldnt have anything written on it because she would have a conniption fit . I'd try buying her funny cards to make her happier, but they just made her madder. She said I bought them just to pick at her even worse . SO... I went back to the old standard bland birthday cards,but then she complained about them because they said BIRTHDAY on them,so I started sending her OTHER holiday cards on her birthday.It's in MAY,so I'd have to stock up on extra Halloween,Valentines, Easter, whatever ---ANY card that DIDN'T say BIRTHDAY .

 

No matter what I got her she hated it,she crabbed at me for spending money and buying her stuff . One year long ago, we celebrated her birthday and mothers day together since they were very close together that year. Bought cake,gifts and cards for both,stated THIS IS TO CELEBRATE BOTH DAYS TOGETHER . (Why put all of us through TWO days of misery in 3 days ?

SO, on her actual birthday (2 days AFTER the presents,cake, etc, my dad comes beating our door down because we didnt come out and celebrate her birthday THAT DAY TOO .

Last year, I sent her a big pakage for both holidays --presents, cards ( one was Thinking of You instead of birthday) . She never called to say she got it,so I called a week later asking if it ever arrived. she said, yea, it got here last week, I never even opened it .Why'd you send that JUNK down here, when all I will do is throw it in the trash anyhow ?

 

SO -- I win for worst daughter of the year this year . She will get NOTHING .

 

I have the craziest family on Earth . I gotta find some way to sneak a ride on the space shuttle. Maybe someone on another planet will adopt me.
