August Christmas Challenge Finished

August 26th, 2010

Last night I was tired of working on the table runner and said I was going to bed and would finish it today.  Well I started doing something or the other and then I decided that I would go ahead and finish the runner and then it would be done and I could forget about [...]

Plans Changed

August 25th, 2010

After church I drove to Ruston to get a couple things that I needed from Walmart.  Had to go to Ruston for what I wanted was not available in Jonesboro.  And since I was there, I went to Fox’s Pizza for supper.  Brian and Christy were not home and I did not want to cook. [...]

Productive Day

August 24th, 2010

Finally got some sewing and quilting done today.  I am working on the table runner for the August Christmas challenge.  I hope to have it finished and out of my hair tomorrow night.  I am not really happy with it and I guess that comes from not having a pattern but just winging it.  Oh [...]

The Ants Are Back

August 21st, 2010

Hard to believe that I got up this morning at seven thirty and started my day with breakfast from the Let’s Do Lunch eating plan.  I tried to make a smoothie but my frozen banana half would not cooperate.  I poured it into a glass and put into the fridge.  I can have it tonight [...]

Final Decision

August 20th, 2010

I finally went to sleep about eight this morning.  Was sleeping so well and the phone rang.  It was a guy from the place that wants you to send them your gold and silver and they will send money.  I kept trying to cut him off and he just would not listen but kept right [...]

New Gadget

August 19th, 2010

Last night I cut several block with the X-block but was having trouble holding it with my arthritic fingers.  I tried using the gripper that I have but it was too large and I had to keep taking it off and putting back on so that I could cut all four sides of the square.  [...]

Hope To Lose Weight

August 18th, 2010

I have decided to try the Let’s Do Lunch eating plan for all I have to lose is weight.  Tonight after church I went to Wal-Mart and stocked up on a good many food items that are on the eating plan but that I did not have in my cupboards.   One of the foods that [...]

Let’s Do Lunch by Roger Troy Wilson

August 17th, 2010

I must say that when I first saw the title I thought now that is the diet for me.  However, I do think that the subtitle is a little misleading.  When you read the book you learn that you are NOT permitted to eat ALL carbs but must leave out bread, potatoes, pasta, and rice.  [...]

Ready To Use The X-Block

August 17th, 2010

I was still awake this morning when it was time to get up and prepare Brian’s lunch.  When I finished I was still not sleepy so I sat at the computer and read emails.  I finally got back in back at seven thirty and was soon asleep.  About two hours later the phone rang and [...]

Feeling Sad Today

August 16th, 2010

Day was a total loss as far as working on the baby quilt was concerned.  For some reason I just felt sad and depressed all day.  Finally about five this afternoon I called Brian to tell him that I was going out to have supper and that I would prepare food for him when he [...]
