People of WalMart?
You wanna talk about culture shock, I just went to a WalMart where almost every female was wearing a plain dress. I felt like I was exposing a scandalous amount of cleavage. And when I left, I followed a horse & buggy, and there was another one to my right.
My teen years were spent in a similar area, so it’s not like it was a new experience, but it was still pretty cool.
Also,...
I was sitting in the eye doctor's office
Bored, and taking pictures of my face because the lighting was great and I actually put on makeup today…
And of course the doc walked in and caught me.
Doh.
Twelve lousy inches.
That’s what I’m short by; twelve lousy inches.
I have 60 inches. 60 is not enough. I need 72.
Now all my plans for the day have to be changed. Bleh.
Random things
I was listening to a book where the main characters were trying to kill some master vampires. I realized I was driving down the road, ducking from vampires.
The email notification came in the middle of that and I screamed.
My knee hurts more than just my usual arthritis. I think I’m going to have to go to the doc. I hate going to the doc.
I finished my blouse. It’s very pretty, but...
Helluva day.
My alz guy has an issue that required me to call the office. The on call was horrible. The doctor’s office closed a half an hour before we noticed the issue. We were out of our usual supplies. I spent an hour trying to talk to the right person and another hour restocking supplies.
And while I was feeding my guy his breakfast, his wife got a phone call from her ex-daughter in law (who still...
When the cat's away,
The mice lose track of time and end up sewing until 1:30 in the morning.
Attach sleeves, one snap, and a hem and my new blouse is finished!
My right hip and knee are killing me!
*WHINE!*
Went to Joann's armed with lots of great coupons.
Unfortunately, they’re moving locations. It’ll be awesome for me in the long run, but until April, they’re in “store closing” mode.
It means no coupons, no sales, no new fabrics, no new notions, nothing.
Yeah, everything is on sale 30% off, but I had 40 and 50% off and then another 20% off of that.
So I bought some $2.00 patterns and left, disappointed. First...
Hobbies
Even though I haven’t sewn since Christmas, I’m going to Joann Fabrics today.
Even though I’m already in the middle of a shirt for me and I need to make a new jumper or two for Evie, I’m going to buy fabric.
At what point is it no longer a hobby, but a collection?
I used to work with this guy, Phil
I had a huge crush on Phil. I wanted to be around him all the time. I couldn’t wait to see him every night (we worked night shift). I talked with him constantly, as much as possible. We would seek each other out on breaks if we weren’t working the same floor.
I never wanted to have sex with Phil. I guess he was cute enough. He was a huge guy, towered over me, he was married and I...
The OH tries.
He wanted me to relax so he filled the tub and poured a glass of wine for me. Unfortunately…
-I’m not crazy about baths.
-He left the kids downstairs while he ran errands.
-One by one, each child suddenly felt the need to use the toilet.
-Half of them made the bathroom fill with noxious odors.
I am now hiding in my bedroom. Hi!

Surprise! The roofers are here!
Better get dressed fast as you can. Oh and what are you going to do with Jack since you work all day???
Anyone able to doggie sit my pup today?
What a morning, and it’s only 8am!
Testing this option..
I’m listening to Monster Hunter International (Unabridged) Part 1 on #Audible for #Android. Get the app free: http://audible.com/wireless @audible_com

Proud McParent
Oldest son hooked up his little brother and now I think we’re half way to owning a franchise, or something.
Anyway, you’d think since two of my kids work at McDonalds, I’d get some kind of discount or free sweet tea or something. But no.
At least the boys have jobs.
Going to sleep.
I don’t feel the greatest still. And my right knee is horribly itchy and has been all day.
Good night tumblr.
The new car has a name!
While in Disney, I bought a small stuffed muppet to hang from the rear view mirror. Everyone, say hello to Beaker, my new-to-me convertible.
The OH is/was/should have been/could be a...
He went to school to teach middle school math. He’s very good at it but we needed him to work and make money right out of college so he’s in IT instead.
Right this very moment our middle school daughter is sitting on the couch, needing help with her middle school math, yet arguing with her father, the middle school math teacher, about her homework.
I think the dryer is done....
Would anyone like a gift membership to audible?
I have one to give out. According to them you get three months of a free membership which gives you access to their sales and their everyday discounts. It sounds like you also get one free book per month for three months. They say they won’t ask for your cc.
Anyone want to give it a try? Send me an ask message.
I got a wrong email.
This guy got a girl’s email address from his friend who lives next door to her aunt. They’re being set up and he sent her an introductory email with out knowing anything about her.
I was so touched by his bravado, but of course I had to email him back and let him know he had the wrong Sara.
Since then we’ve traded a dozen emails. He’s keeping me updated on her responses...
My hips don't want to work today.
This is totally TMI but I’m in the shower and I can’t get my hips to twist me around enough to wash my rear end.
Yay arthritis!
We're home!
I went right to bed and slept until 6pm. Jack hasn’t left my side.
We drove straight through last night. I started puking around 3am. The OH pulled over sometime after that, slept about an hour and then drove the rest of the way.
We’re worn out but it was worth it all. And I’m glad to be home.
I got all choked up.
All of my grandparents are gone now. I loved them dearly and I miss them all the time.
Today we drove two hours south to Sebring to visit the OH’s grandparents. They have a little mobile home where they live during the winter. We went to Lake Placid and checked out the murals and just spent time together. I took a ton of pictures.
I was in the middle of snapping one of my girls and the...

Jack McInerney is my favorite player.
And tonight, after the game, he stopped to say hello and give me a hug. He shook my daughters’ hands. He is so sweet, even though I’m totally creepy when it comes to him.
What a perfect, wonderful, awesome day.
The baby just shushed the older daughter.
She said, “Who gave Gracie the talking pills?”
One of those moments where you have to say, “That’s not very nice,” when you really mean, “Yeah, who did give her the talking pills???”
Oh my ears are so tired.

I met Nikki!
OMG she is even more beautiful in person! She inked my hip and was seriously wonderful.
This has been one of the best experiences of my life. Thank you Nikki!
