Buddy!!

 

[sopo]

Ack! I had a whole long message typed and my 'puter froze up.

 

Tam and Sherry, Happy Bday to your babies!

 

Tonya, Congratulations!!

 

Sue, did I see on fb where you got a NEW baby turtle??? I'm so jealous! Was adorable.

 

Ann, Joanne, Nicole, Kuddles, Marisa, Toni, Jana, Crystal and anyone I missed, hope you are doing great and have a good weekend.

 

I didn't crochet much lately since I was sick. Feeling much better, just a little cough hanging on and a hoarse voice. I can deal with that. I did finish my fall tote for my friend and made her hubby a matching tortoise. Also made a tote for my mom to go with a baby blanket she made. Got a lot lined up that I need to get busy with. Happy Hooking everyone.

I haven't crocheted all week. I'm taking a break since my favorite authors came out with a new book (with my favorite character!). So I've been reading. Preparing for school to start Monday and hoping this storm doesn't bring us TONS of turtles and birds (which they usually do ).

Yes, I couldn't resist. He was in the last aisle at the Expo and just begged me to take him home!

 

Love the tote!!

Glad to hear that you are finally feeling better Stephanie!!! The totes are gorgeous- and tortoise--well so cute!!!!

 

I haven't crocheted all week. I'm taking a break since my favorite authors came out with a new book (with my favorite character!). So I've been reading. Preparing for school to start Monday and hoping this storm doesn't bring us TONS of turtles and birds (which they usually do ).

 

 

 

Love the tote!!

 

What book? I love to read! I haven't done much crocheting either thanks to the finger injury this week. I've done some on the RR and started a scarf- mostly mindless- since it is slow going. Once the finger is healed, I want to finish the Felted Ripple tote, make a SBT and need to make a square for someone!

 

Marisa- How's the packing going? Are you prepared for the Hurricane? I'm going to the store in the AM before work I think (when it shouldn't be crowded and should be restocked from the overnight crew) Just need a few normal things that I would normally pick up on the weekend. I'm kind of bummed that we are getting this hurricane ON THE WEEKEND!!!! Well actually kind of bummed we're getting it at all!!!

 

Kuddles- Did you get a nap in today? How did DD do on her first day of school?

 

Ann- Hope you are feeling a little better and that you didn't have too long of a wait at the Dr today!

 

Ducky- Is today a better day than yesterday?

 

Tammy- Happy Birthday to your DS

 

Sherry- Hope you had a great time at your GS party!!!

[marpan79]

Joanne - I'm also going to head to the store in the morning. I don't need much, but do want to make sure I've got something to eat that doesn't need heating and/or refrigerated just in case my power goes out. But at worst, I can throw one of these duraflame logs in the fireplace to try to cook something But considering I've pretty much cleared out my kitchen Have my flashlight charging and need to make sure my phone and nook get charged too

 

Time for my Eagles!!!!

I'm going to make sure my mac, iphone, ipad and NOOK are fully charged!! Enjoy your Eagles game!!!!

 

I probably won't get on in the morning here since I'll be shopping for groceries!! What a way to start a Friday!!!

[ducky73]

heeey gals!

OMG today is a welcome relief from the stress of yesterday! DH got paid today so we did our usual shopping. paid for it took it out to the car took the cart back inside and hubbt says "need yarn hun" OMG i about fainted right there!!!

i only got one skein of hot red...but i got some cereal and grapes to snack on. started the baby ghan last night. not too far on it yet but its gonna be pretty...sunshine and pale yellow. i started with the sunshine for three rows then went to the pale green for seven and soforth. then the very last row will be white....all caron somply soft. id thought about foing the ghan in red heart but red heart for babies is soooooooo itchy in my opinion.

[krafty19]

Stephanie - love the tote!!

 

Sue - I hope you enjoyed your book--what were you reading?

 

Mama K - Hope DD day went well. Did ya get a nap??

 

Ducky - so glad today was a better day! Got yarn!!!

 

Had a good time at the party--he wouldn't eat the "tupcake" just the candy on the top of it. :lol Momma ate the cupcake.

 

Tam - I promise to mail your totes next week. This week has really been a nightmare at work!!

 

I'm so excited that my SIL will be here tomorrow. I went grocery shopping tonight, did some laundry, just need to finish up a few things in the morning before going to work. Haven't crocheted all week but I should be able to do some next week. Son will be here next weekend!!

 

There's no football game this weekend, kinda of disappointed as I wanted SIL to see him play. Oh well, it's gonna be hot anyway, so we'll just spend time in the nice cool house!!

 

Have a great evening, sleep well!

[evelyn]

I hope all who are in the path of that storm will be safe, prayers and for you.

Have a good night

[grannyannie]

Morning! I'd like to say it's a beautiful day, but it's so foggy out that I can't tell yet! I've been up since 5am which is pretty good concidering I went to bed at 8pm with a migraine! Still got it though. I think it's from the new med that the doc put me on. Gonna call him first thing this morning. I never got back to my hooks yesterday after working on my little project in the morning, but hopefully will get some time in today! Have a wonderful Friday everyone and stay safe from Irene!

Hope you get all your shopping in before the weekend crowd! DH ran in yesterday on our way home from the dr. Nope, we didn't have to wait, got there in the nick of time,she was waiting for us! How's that finger doing btw? Can't have you getting out of practice making SBTs!

GS sounds like my GD! She (the 4yr) usually only eats the frosting! Glad you had a good time at the party. Enjoy your time with SIL. Too bad there won't be any football.

[kuddlekubs]

Quick hello.....please everyone stay safe from Irene!

 

DD = 103.2 temp at 3 am. No school, doctor = strep I'm pretty sure.

 

Take care all!

What tortoise??? Did I miss a tortoise??

 

I finished the book last night. It was Cold Vengence by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. The first book in the series is Relic (it was made into a movie). I love the series. A little detective and a little fantasy/sci fi-ish. I told Bruce last night I was going to hunt down the authors and punch them both in the nose. Stupid cliff hanger endings...

Time for my Eagles!!!!

 

Be safe everyone with the storm. It's out east of us giving us rain, wind and waves, but not bad.

 

Quick hello.....please everyone stay safe from Irene!

 

DD = 103.2 temp at 3 am. No school, doctor = strep I'm pretty sure.

 

Take care all!

 

kuddles

 

Feel better little sis!

 

[marpan79]

Sue - Glad to hear you're safe from the hurricane, but yeah it was staying out in the ocean down your way

 

Kuddle - I hope dd feels better quickly....my question is what parent sent their kid to school this week with strep

 

Well, I'm still packing. I ran out this morning and stopped by the uhaul to reserve my truck, then to walmart for a loaf of bread and more packaging tape. Stopped at the wawa for a coffee and bfast sandwich on the way home so I wouldn't have to make anything this morning.....can you say LAZY!!! I'm hoping Irene turns more out towards the ocean up this way But if it keeps how it's going, I'm going to move my important electronic stuff to the 2nd floor and possibly go stay at Mary's for the night I live by a river and the marina is only a half block away So, we'll see.

 

I hope you all have a wonderful friday

[sopo]

Ann, praying your migraine leaves you soon.

 

Kuddles, so sorry DD is sick. No fun. Praying she gets better quick too.

 

Sue, Joann was talking about the tortoise I made to match that fall tote.

 

Marisa and everyone in the east... stay safe!!! You can replace things.

 

Thanks for all the compliments on the tote/tortoise.

 

Oh yeah, I got kissed by an Alpaca yesterday!!! My friend's family used to have an animal rescue. Well, her parents have died so while she's not taking in more in, she still has a lot of animals. I took my mom and Brittany over to see them. This adorable Alpaca came walking up and she said he likes to kiss you. O--K-- So he is making kissy noises and I bend over. He touches his nose to mine and makes a perfect kissing sound. Then he backs up a bit and actually SMILES! I totally fell in love with him. She is trying to downsize so I could easily bring him home. I'm telling myself we do not need another animal but who can't resist a cute wooley guy that follows you around making kissy noises!!!

Awwww, that is so cute about the Alpaca

 

Yeah, I'm not too worried and I'll just move the computer and tv upstairs if need be since they're the expensive things I have downstairs and would rather not have to replace them so will take the extra precaution for that. Otherwise, I have a whole living room full of packed boxes that are staying just where they are I hope I'll our friends a bit further south of me are staying safe and Irene starts to lose her speed :hug

[DrAnn]

Hi all! I managed to get a sinus infection this week, so I've been laying low. On meds now, so hopefully it will be better soon. Weird time of year for me to get one, and I hadn't had a cold or anything. I did stop at HL and pick up some yarn for my first tote the other day. On my way this afternoon to a wedding. Don't much feel like leaving the house today, but I need to make an appearance!

 

I tried to go back and catch up on everyone's posts. I'm still learning who you all are! I hope all of you who are in Irene's path are staying safe and dry!!

 

Sooooooooo.......guess who was just offered a job????????

:eek:eek:eek:eek:eek:eek:eek:eek Yep that's right ME.......I start at the hosp. in 3 weeks.:jumpyay:woo:wooI am so excited I could just cry.

Congratulations, Tonya!! :cheer That's great news!

Hope it was a great party. They grow up so fast, don't they? I suddenly have a high-schooler this year. I'm not sure how that happened!
