Evening everyone, grandbaby and I was out most of today.We went to Babies R Us to buy a gift off my daughters registry for her baby shower which is this week-end. I decide to buy her the bottles thast she wanted and boy O boy was they expensive, They are called Born Free , 2 for 18.99 I brought 3 sets. My grandbaby got a new toy also. I really wanted her to breast fed but she don't want to do that. During the months I have been picking up a few things for the babyr here and there. This Monday the doctor informed her that it was time that she stop working , which I was glad to hear so I will not be havcng my grandbaby as much until she go back to work which make me sad for he's my BABY. Just thinking about it bring tears to my eyes. At least it will give me time to crochet a little more on those days that I"m not running back and forth to her house.

 

 

Julie - I'm so happy that you had fun yarn shopping, for some reason yarn has a healing effect on people who use it, it gives you a clearer thought of what you need to think about. :manyheart I really like the colors in that yarn, have fun decideing what to make with it.

 

Marisa - pretty lapghan. I had to laugh when you said "Now I just need to send it through the washing machine and hope it comes out alive!!!! " - it will survive the wash it's too pretty not to. :lol

 

Leann -

 

Judy - can't wait to see your finish afghan

 

Linda - sounds like you are having fun designing your quilt. and that what's the craft that we all do is suppose to do bring us joy and laughter.

 

I haven't decided on what to make for dinner and to tell you the truth I'm not in the cooking mood. Grandbaby and myself are stuff with the MickeyD that we had for lunch for he had to have his kiddie meal. With that said BBL

You're right, Cheeria. Seeing something come alive under my fingers is very rewarding and make me feel really good.

 

I never heard of bottles that expensive. OUCH!!!

 

I've got 18 of the 21 blocks assembled and joined so far today. Yeah! I may feel it later, but I've made great progress today. :jumpyay:woo

[SheffnJerri]

Happy Birthday, LeAnna!

[eurolyons]

thank you Sherri and Cheeria...

 

Nah, don't think Gordon is hunky...and honestly I think that's mainly because of his attitude...but Simon, if he was nicer, I think I could find him hunky...

 

Oh and I would like to have lunch with the guys on Top Gear...especially the short one, Richard I think his name is...oh,wait, wait, wait...also want to have lunch with David Tennant, ex Doctor on Doctor Who...

 

Oh and one more thing, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love had a daughter, not a son...but that was a good question...very sad that he felt he had to "leave" this earth and leave behind his daughter to her mother...

[judianne]

Judy, FBI or CIA agent or analyst...tell me, are you addicted to the crime shows on tv?

Not quite addicted to the shows, but would rather read a book about stuff like that, 2 of which I have here....but once I realized nursing wasn't for me I hopped from job to job till I landed as a clerk with the FBI, NY Office, at the age of 21... at that time there were no female agents or such a thing as an analyst. Even if there was a place for me, I didn't have a college degree, so was out of luck anyway. Don't know what the situation was with CIA, since I really never thought of them at the time.

The first 2 female FBI agents were in Phil's New Agent's class, which happened when I was a clerk, and they had the same requirements as the men, among which was they had to be 5'8"...which I'm not! Now they're more realistic, I think.

Sorry for getting so long-winded:blush

EVERYONE: I've got to go grab something to eat- DH is at the Dr- just a routine appointment-but I'm feeling hungry- maybe I'll just have some salad while I wait for him to return!

 

Hope everyone has a great evening!

It's 4:00 p.m. here and we're about to head off for dinner and to see Iron Man 2 (last year got to see Star Trek on my birthday...getting to be a tradition to see a movie on my birthday, 'cause a lot of block busters open around that time) so you're not late at all...and thank you...

[JulieKay]

Linda

In answer to your question, I'd probably like to be a Reading or English teacher . Love to read and discuss books, and always loved doing book reports in school,so that'd be it definitely .

 

 

LeAnna - I like how your parents chose your name ! And maybe crocheting is sort-of a way for you to get into designing,etc and eventually start your business !

 

You picked a wonderful group to have lunch with -- between Robin Williams and Whoopie ! Wow, those 2 alone ,or even ONE of them would be a HOOT !!!

 

 

 

 

JUDE -- Would you Bunjee Jump if George Clooney was at the bottom holding a basketfull of candy bars ?

[JulieKay]

Tab-

How close do you live to NYC ? Is it a long drive from your part of the state ?

 

and what part of the CSI would you like to do ,they have the blood splatter guy, the fingerprint guy, the photo guy, etc .

 

Don't think I'd be able to see an autopsy, but I could do the crime scene part . I like reading those books !

[JulieKay]

Cheeria-- you'll have to stop in and tell us all about the shower and the gifts and the CAKE .

 

Have a good time,and I know you will miss the baby ,but you can still go see him if your girl lives close . Pretty soon there will be TWO !!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Linda- great job on the quilt, keep up the good work !

[JulieKay]

JoAnne- neat how you got your name !

 

Also ,I forgot the Beatles-- how could I do that ? Played Hey Jude til I wore out the record !

 

Whats your favorite Beatles song ? I think mine now is Yesterday ...and Imagine ...

[JulieKay]

Sherri -

Do you have a piano in your house and do you play often ? Also how old were you when you started lessons ?

[JulieKay]

Thanks JoAnne- you guys are all the greatest ! Enjoy the baseball game tonight ,to all of you that watch it .

 

I'll be watching reruns of Ghothunters I guess -- nothing else on that looks good and we dont get cable .

[SheffnJerri]

I do play, although I am very rusty at the moment. No and no, there isn't any particular orchestra I'd prefer. But when I was a kid I always thought I'd end up in NY. Now I've passed the music mantle on to my youngest son. He plays guitar, piano, flute, drums and is planning on taking up the violin.

[SheffnJerri]

Sherri -

Do you have a piano in your house and do you play often ? Also how old were you when you started lessons ?

 

I do have a piano in the house. Don't play much anymore, but I do run through several pieces every now and then. Piano is in son's room and it is messy in there. Scary! I started playing at 8, but began lessons at age 9 and stuck with them through high school.

[JulieKay]

So Sherri ,

Do you play all like Beethoven type music, or all kinds of things ? Sorry, I'm about as musically talented as a frog . I know NOTHING about piano playing ,except I love Andrea Bocelli . Does HE count ?

[busy-bee-lmt]

I'm really enjoying the answers to this quiz, Julie. Thanks for dreaming it up.

 

I've got all 21 blocks together and only have one seam to do to have them all connected. Then I'll connect these 21 to the previous 28. Then the borders go on. At that point I can iron it and take a picture.

[SheffnJerri]

So Sherri ,

Do you play all like Beethoven type music, or all kinds of things ? Sorry, I'm about as musically talented as a frog . I know NOTHING about piano playing ,except I love Andrea Bocelli . Does HE count ?

 

I play classical like Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, etc...in high school I played in a Jazz Band which I found more challenging than the classical. Andrea Bocelli counts. He is a fabulous vocalist.
