Nothing Important To Say Tuesday...

Howdy everyone. I really had nothing interesting to write about today so thought I would post a few kitty pictures. Only problem is the book is much larger than my scanner. First we have the little youngster going off to school.

And how about a cute little teenage couple.

Then there are those naughty boys smoking in the bathroom.

Hope you have a nice peaceful day.

Overcast Monday...

Well, time has gotten away from me once again. This being gone from the house so often I think is starting to take its toll on all of us. I had an unpleasant day on Friday and even before Mr. V had known how bad of day I was having he had bought me some flowers. When I got home there they were sitting on the kitchen table. I will admit right now, in my book, he is the best husband ever!

I am working until 11:30 PM each night and am on my 6 days in a row at work. I see Christmas is going to be an interesting time.

I have been pretty good about not shopping everyday at work. There are many folks I work with that do that. They shop everyday and end up buying something.

My goal this week is to spend as much time as I can with Ricky and Rebecca. I feel as if I have not been as much fun for them lately. Tomorrow I am hoping to get Rebecca's lap-top over to the computer folks to see if we can get her drive updated. After I get done with writing this I am off to the shower. And then we are going to watch Extreme House Make-Over. Rebecca recorded it last night so we could watch it together. I hope to have some post of interesting things to make or something interesting I have made to post tomorrow.

Already Wednesday!!!!!!!!!!

Last night was a quiet night at work. We think everyone is waiting for next week when the big sales start. We were able to get everything done, which was nice for a change. I even got to help Santa pick up a blouse for his fill in Mrs. Santa because his real Mrs. Santa is unable to go with him on few trips. He said they wear Victorian style outfits and hers is really pretty. And as luck would have it, we had a blouse with a stand up collar and very small ruffle for her to wear under the outfit. The blouse was 100% cotton so she shouldn't get hot.



A couple of weeks ago I did get my copy of Victoria magazine.


I was really happy to see all the pictures of Tasha Tudors collection of antique clothing. Of course I am a big Tasha Tudor fan.

I just really liked this fireplace. I think I like all the candles better than a fire. Very pretty.....

I had one picture to post, but, Blogger keeps failing when trying to upload it. The picture was of one of the ads. Because the ads sometimes are just as pretty as the pictures. All in all I was pretty happy with the re-birth of this magazine. It will be interesting to see how it sells.

Short post for today, but, I am going to make my goal this week of posting 5 in row.

Happy BIrthday Ricky!!!!!!!!!!

Today is the little boys birthday. So he isn't very little any more, but, he will always be way younger than I and that makes him my little guy.

Ricky really liked the gift bag. It plays the song Happy Birthday and the candles flash on & off to the music. We had baby back ribs for dinner, as his request. And birthday cake of course. I even had found Lactose Free ice cream for my two guys. They liked it very much.

I have finally started weaving in the tails of the dishcloths I had been working on during the year.

I have five down and think I only have about 35 more to go!

Now back to birthday stuff. Just a note to all, if you are buying a cake the day after the weekend your choices are limited. That is why Ricky ended up with a fall cake.

He didn't care it was still a chocolate cake.

I suppose it is now time to get something done around this house. I have work tonight. Once again Happy Birthday Ricky.....Who is now 14 years old....

The Start Of A New Week...

I did finish up the baby blanket last week and just have one bib to finish. Then it is off in the mail to the little girl it is for. Bought her a book too, just have to remember where I put it.

Ended up getting a new computer monitor. It is a Samsung 21.6 inch one. That's right, the pictures gigantic. The monitor is also a wide-screen one and that is taking some getting use to. I am also going to have to read up on how to adjust the colors, the are a little off. Everything looks so different on this monitor. But, it sure is nice for watching DVD's (the computer is in the kitchen and this is where most of my DVD watching goes on). Also, being such a large screen you can watch current TV shows that the networks have on-line and get a nice size picture to watch. Now I can get all caught up on Pushing Daisies. It is such an interesting show.

I did pick up some new magazines last week. Here are a few of them. I am looking forward to being able to read through them soon...

Guess that is all for now. Mr. V isn't working from home this week so I should be able to post everyday. When he is here he sometimes takes over this computer while also using his work laptop. Tonight we are doing Ricky's birthday a day early. I am working tomorrow evening, so, figured why not do it now. Ricky is all for that. I ended up having to run around to get the items for dinner tonight, but, it was nice being able to get something he wanted.

The Start Of Finish Up Week...

That is my goal for the week is to try and get some started projects done. The first was completed this morning. The scarf for Rebecca is done. She really likes the colors, which don't photograph well. Will have to try taking it outside for picture sometime. Now the only problem is that she needs something to wear to match it. Told her I would check on my break at work.

We both like the bumpy yarn used to make it.

As you can see Kandy is just thrilled modeling this for me. I am now off to finish up a baby blanket that I should have had done a month ago. Hopefully there will be another post later today of that.

I Am Back!!!!!!!!!!

My little health issue had come back. I seem to have it under control better right now and get to see the doctor on Thursday. And may I say we really need to talk. Work got really busy, had a 7 day work week once. Then there was the health thing thrown in there, so the poor old blog was left alone. This week that all changes. I will have a schedule once again in my life. The first thing I have done is started looking into making a granny squares. Above is the color combo I have come up with for the living room. I figure I can work on something this at work because I can just do one color of different blocks. That way I only have to take one ball of yarn and few blocks. Will let you know how this works out.

I ended up working Halloween night. It was fine. Didn't have to worry about buying candy afterwards, because we sold out of all the Halloween candy by 6 PM. The only Halloween sale thing I bought yesterday at work was a nice pumpkin cookie cutter. Ended up costing me 75 cents. Is one of those with nice cushion top so you don't push on the metal.

I am sure I will have some interesting posts coming up. Christmas is coming and I am sure shoppers will surprise me in the way they shop. Running the fitting room, has shown to be very interesting so far. So, I am back for sure this time. See you tomorrow.....
