My day - stitching comes next

I washed, as in hands and knees, the kitchen and down stairs bath floors.
Emptied and refilled, twice, the dishwasher and made tacos for dinner. Also
spent about 2 hours working on the extended bed for the planned move of the
sand cherry.

And the house is quiet, DS is on his way to his game, DH and DD are off
bringing me ice cream, before DH goes to DS's game. I plan to stitch until I
fall asleep with the needle in my hand....

Sounds wonderful, except for the needle in your hand part. Be sure not to
get any of the red, drippy, hard to remove stuff on your piece when you
remove the needle. lol

Weren't you productive! What a good girl. I, instead, have spent hours
taking care of this paperwork - which hopefully will actually be acceptable
to the mortgage company, and we'll get our stuff approved for the mod this
week. One can hope. The alternative isn't good! But, I did 3 loads of
laundry - about to now put the summer blanket (cotton lightweight quilt)
into the dryer, and another load of clothes into the dryer. Did unload the
DW, and reload it - though I haven't re-emptied it now post dinner to
reload. And I just may be bad and not.

I should go out and set the sprinklers to water in front and back - another
question. Hmmm.

This sounds good. DH is on the ice reffin' men's league right now - at the
rink just a few minutes from the house. One of the teams is the VA state
ref sup - who is always happy when DH is there. There are a couple of guys
who seem to have their own special gig going reffing those games, and the
teams are sick of them for many reasons. So, DH is happy to be greeted
happily when in stripes. Then he comes home, and we can have some dessert.

I've noticed with doing WW, we're eating an amazing amount of veggies -
which is good, but, yikes. Tonight - it was the all orange/gold night -
being (along with grilled lamb chops from the local farm) golden beets,
patty-pan squash, and sweet potato fries (baked). It was funny as I looked
at the table when we sat down to serve it all. Oh, and to start -
canteloupe. I must've had orange on my mind.

Now, I should go stitch, but don't really feel it. However, tomorrow
afternoon, and Tuesday (not working) will be a marathon to get 2 pieces to
the framer by Friday.

Also - I'm sitting here working on finding a hotel to take us and the pooch
in NJ for the aunt's B-day party. DH did not call the less evil of the
SILs, though I think he will tomorrow. His idea, I should call the lovely
inn and ask them to give us a room far away from the crazy SILs. Huh. Ah,
well, the sagas continue.

I read it the same way as you - remember if you bleed on your work,
your own saliva will take it out and remove the stain. Works every
time.

I'll remember that.


I watched all three hours of "Wild Pacific" on Discovery. Even if the
cinematography stunk, which it didn't, I love Mike Rowe's voice. I stitched
for most of it, letter H is coming along. During commercials, I finished
"Twilight of Avalon" (Anna Elliot, first of a three novel cycle). Good read.

It's a good tip - but only your own saliva on your own blood. It's some
enzyme thing, IIRC. Won't work with someone else's blood - or saliva for
that matter. If it's someone else's blood - you can try some Hydrogen
Peroxide - that will often do the release of the blood. Just don't get it
with hot water.

Good for you. I just got home about 45 min ago, and spent 15 min with the
mtge folks on the phone, and now am doing laundry, and contemplating
showering off the coffee grime! For the rest of today, tomorrow - it's all
about stitching. I get to head into Falls Church later to drop the TT at
"Volkswerks" for the wonderful $500 less than the dealer price replacement
of the power steering rack - and pick up a loaner. Which means I can go
visit Needlewoman East (for many gorgeous thread), and maybe even go toe The
Waste Knot. Then meet DH for dinner (he's wanting to work late=ish) as I'm
not going to then head back out in rush hour horrible traffic.

So, anyone need threads that they want me to pick-up on my rounds????

I hope to get to some stitching this afternoon. Got about an hour
in yesterday. Today so far has been water the flowers ( haven't had
a decent rain since the deluge), clean the bathrooms and get caught
up on the laundry. Oh, and during lunch I read a couple chapters of
"The Forgotten Garden." It's hard to put down.

Nancy
Forgotten garden? Tell me more

I just picked up "The Thirteenth Tale" and have to walk away. Too much going
on to get sucked in right now....

Off to water the cukes

Forgotten garden? Tell me more

By Kate Morton. B&N had it 50% off last week. Australian woman
searches her grandmother's roots on the Cornish coast. Travels back
and forth from early 1900's to 1975 (when her grandmother visited
England) to 2005. Her grandmother was "abandoned" while traveling
from England to Australia as a 4 year old and adopted by someone
who worked at the port. I think the "Forgotten Garden" is the garden
at the family's estate. Interspersed are "fairy tales" supposedly
written by one of the characters.
