Time to turn out the light and lay down (or back) nose is still running... lol   Till later... Have a Great New Year's Eve !!!



Quick Update

I am still here in blog land.. Honking like a goose. I hate being sick!!!  I can't get that shot in the butt that makes you feel good by the next day. I am allergic to the steroid or the other stuff. I'll just say I had a bad experience of not being able to breathe after that shot about 2 years ago. The cold meds I am taking is OTC stuff for people with high blood pressure.. Doctor said that would be ok. I have taken it before.. But I don't remember it making me this loopy before... I told daughter on the phone a few minutes ago that my  mom said that I needed to run the Vapouriser tonight... I said something else instead of Vapouriser.. Word came out wrong.. Daughter got a laugh out of that... Oh Well, I need to go lay down, but hubby is in the bed snoring the curtains off the windows.. I may just sleep sitting up in the chair. I will, of course, have to stick tissue in each nostril hole to hold back the flow...
I need to get my cross stitch stuff out and look what needs to get finished in 2012. I can already tell you, I have 4 samplers that I am going to try and finish this year!! Since it is only 9:07 here.. I may go through my stash... I need to find that basket to put them in, so that I can pull them out to stitch on when the mood hits me..  I may just look for the basket... I am drained enough from just typing...
Till Later..... 

Short And To The point!

Rainy and finely cold here in Bama!  Just that everyone is sick now!!
Be back blogging when my head doesn't weigh 100 lbs.. Till Later...

Merry Christmas!!

I want to wish all my readers, followers, friends, and family a very Merry Christmas !  Hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!

I will be back blogging in full force after Christmas!

Merry Christmas !

Computer Cable And Christmas !

Merry Christmas !!! 
Happy New Year!!!

I keep saying this and smiling.  Just got off the phone with cable company. I kind of lost it with them.
But First... My laptop has been infected with the Vista Security 2012 Virus.  Yep... I thought since I have Windows Vista, it was something my laptop did.  It keeps telling me I have 234 infections and 6 bad Trojan thingies.. I am not computer savvy.  Well, I have McAfee Security. This Vista Security 2012 Virus will not even let it work.. I have switched to my little Acer Notebook for blog reading and cross stitch looking. My HP Desk is used for email. So I had to go and change my windows mail to Taylor62 address.  This will get fixed no time soon. I just got my HP back from IT shop. It cost an arm and leg to fix.
On to Cable... Two weeks ago, I called the cable company. I wanted to cut back Internet and cable. They are combined. Well... I opened bill today and it was doubled!  WHAT THE.... I had the price locked in for 2 years.. I got on the phone.. they were charging me for HBO, Cinemax and wire protection.. What!!  I got that all handled and let them have it!!  I now have a headache, but no HBO, Cinemax or digital cable. Only the BARE TV stations.. Trying to save money.. I was told 89.98 a month. That is still to high for some TV watching..
I Know... Everything is going up.
Post office charged me $5.20 for the little VCR tape size box to mail yesterday.. Didn't it cost $ 4.95?  She explained to me all postage was going up on Jan. 1st.  No again.... Just since this weekend has the prices of things bothered me.. Is anyone else affected by these prices that keep going up.. I stood in the cereal aisle looking around at cereal Saturday... My Multigrain Cheerios (12oz) were $4.97  a box. You add toilet tissue, paper towels, shampoo and conditioner and my total was $42.34, and this was at Walmart. Only thing to eat was Cheerios!!    Oh, by the way I forgot the milk....  lol
I will quit ranting now... Christmas is coming!!!  I will smile and talk sweet to my dear hubby.. I need a Honey Baked Ham for Christmas Eve... What will that cost us??   I do have a $5.00 coupon off!  Think he will go for it!! Yall keep your fingers crossed!!!  till later...

Cookie Making And A Surprise

 Oh... The cups of colored icing!!

 One just wanted to eat the sprinkles!! Wonder who that was??  lol

 Green trees with sprinkles, red Santa's with sprinkles, White snowmen with red hot buttons, blue bells with silver sprinkles and colorful stars. Who could ask for anything else?  Maybe me!!  I need someone to get all this flour and sprinkles up off my dining room floor!  lol  I loved it !!  We did have a great time!!

 My stitching friend Bonnie (no blog) sent these to me! I just love them!

They are ornaments she made with pictures of her stitching and she mounts them on wood!! Great idea!!  I love the Ornaments Bonnie!!  I know she reads my blog. If any of yall are in the Samplermakers Group by Lori, you have seen pictures of Bonnie's beautiful stitching and finishing ideas!! I just love everything she does! Bonnie is a great inspiration for me. We also love the same designs and designers!! 

I have swept my floor and get up most the sprinkles.. Now I will rest till tomorrow. I will mop then!

To tired... Till Later....

My Life One Day To The Next!

 This is the tale of popcorn kernels and a 2 year old.

This day at the park was so nice. Sun shining, grands getting their Vitamin D, and some hard playing going on.

Next Day.. I am taking my mother (meme) to her cancer doctor for a checkup. Get a call for daughter (raeanne)....I am taking Zoe to the doctor...

Me:  What is wrong? ( all kinds of stuff going on in my head, I don't do emergency stuff very good!)

R: She has a popcorn kernel stuck in her nose!

Me: What?.... In her nose!!!

R: I have already pulled 3 kernels out, but I can't get to the one stuck way up in there!

Me: OMG!!! Do you need me to get Josh?

R: No, He is worried about his sister... I will call when they get it out.

How in the heck could she get 4 kernel stuck up one side of her little nose? 

Well... from what I learned from Raeanne, it took her, a doctor and a nurse to hold Zoe down to remove the kernel, which had gotten stuck in a bunch of mucus..  Zoe and her brother Josh, both left with stickers and popsicles. I guess she was given a treat for letting them remove the kernel, he was giving a treat for watching it all!

As they left and drove out of sight... The doctor was heard saying," Don't put anything else in your nose!" Raeanne didn't want to mention that just Tuesday she had a small garland of beads stuffed in her nose.. Good thing they were all attached when pulled out!!  lol 

As of today her little nose is sore!  Maybe, just maybe she has learned a lesson.. then again.. Her finger will not stay out of her nose.   Till another day in my life...
