Sunday Night

Oh my, it feels so good to sit down! For the past 3 days I have been talking the house apart getting it ready for the painter on Tuesday. Well, she was suppose to be here Tuesday, but we may have a change in plans. Seems she cannot give me a firm time and now a firm day, so it looks like I will have to learn how to paint. Eek! I have been an apartment dweller so all painting has always been done by maintenance. Called Home Depot and they can give me a dummy lesson and some leaflets. My ENTIRE house is ripped apart. ARGH! (taking a long deep soothing breath). The only room that has not been ripped to shreds is here in the computer room. I was going to do that today but ran out of time and energy, well, mainly energy. The mountain of laundry is now a large hill of ironing with a bunch of throws and dog bedding.

I think this is one time when I bit off more than I can chew. How I just want to sit and stitch.

Please say a few prayers for me as I start the painting endeavor.

Have a great week.

Laissez les bons temps rouler!!

Happy Fat Tuesday Eve!

Made this for lunch tomorrow at work

Shrimp Creole 

(4 pounds of shrimp in a HUGE stock pot).

I had to sample it to make sure it was OK. .... That's my story and I am sticking to it.

Another month, another post

February saw me relearning how to live by myself. Seems so weird to be Mom-less. There are so many things to go thru, boxes to pack and store in the attic. I have hired the painter to completely paint the inside of the house. I dislike painting.. ALOT.  I finally chose the colors. 2 shades of white, so I can change my mind on drapes and such when the mood strikes.

The blog photo is the first piece I stitched after a 5 year break. Looking at it makes me want to stitch, but for right now there are too many things to do. I am trying, however, to organize my stash, make it neater and easier to find things.

That's about it for now
