a little therapy

I got a little therapy today. JoAnn's therapy! I could spend hours in that store and way too much money. However, I was so good. I only bought material (on sale) for a ZSQ for my sister's birthday gift and some glue (with a 40% off coupon). Good girl, Amy!

I needed therapy today. My mom is still in the hospital, and she feels just awful. She is in heart failure and has right lobe pneumonia. They are taking her off her pain meds to "clear" them out her system. Since Mom also suffers chronic and severe pain from an arthritic spine, this is especially horrendous for her. It is just a super awful thing to see and I worry about her so much.

Prayers for my Momma are so appreciated!

Need a laugh?

Do you ever have days like this?

Just wonderin'!

:)

Thursdays are nice

Thursdays are nice! Thursdays are fun! Thursday means days 'til the weekend equals one!

I've got problems. SERIOUS problems...just past two days off work due to ice and I'm still counting down until the weekend. Geez...Amy...there is LIFE during the week too!

That said, here are some fun things I'm doing DURING the week and after work. Tonight is bible study. Beth Moore - It's Tough Being a Woman (Can I get an Amen?) -a study in Esther. Love this study! And - after the study I am working on some ZSQs!

My Momma's b-day is tomorrow. And that's fun! I like giving her gifts. But, right now she is in the hospital. Not quite sure what's wrong, but she was acting all loopy yesterday so sister Carla took her in. She was retaining some fluid (she has congestive heart disease), but still not sure why she was so loopy. Good news is, she is feeling better today. Hopefully she won't have to spend her whole B-day in the hospital!

I still haven't gotten myself moved into my new craft room. And I ain't gonna lie and say it's going to happen this weekend...but I am making it a goal!

First ZSQ of 2009

Here's my first completed ZSQ of 2009. This is for a little girl named Raegan who is battling brain cancer.



I love making these blankets. I'm currently working on one for Virgil and next will be one for Stephen.

Today will be a good day to work on them. The university is closed until noon today, and I'm taking the whole day off because Stephen's school is closed and because I live just about an hour away from the University and roads are a little worse here.

Yesterday I made this dip that my husband loves. I don't know what you call it. I got it from a lady at work. Virgil LOVES it and has been nagging me to make it for a while! :) So, I finally did it yesterday. We like it with Scoops chips.

1 pkg. cream cheese
1 pkg. shredded cheddar cheese
finely chopped green pepper
finely chopped purple onion
about a Tablespoon of mayo
soy sauce to taste

Mix together well. I like to refrigerate it for a bit to allow the flavors to "come together."

So, that's all I got!

It's an ice day!

We got enough ice overnight to close down the University and Stephen's school, and Virgil is getting to telecommute today. And we still have electricity!! YAY, YAY, YAY!

I'm going to craft and make tamales.

Did I say YAY? ;)

Mondays!

I don't mind Monday so much. Except for the going to work thing, and havin' to get out of bed before 6 a.m. thing, and havin' to get Stephen going. Yeah, but other than that...no big deal! So here's a bit of what's up with me on this Monday...the last one in January 2009!

Outside my window...gray and drizzly...it may ice tonight

I am thinking...about some crafts I want to make

Last night I dreamt...that my inlaws let Grizzly Bears live in their kitchen. (oK,I actually dreamed this on Friday, but I can't remember my dream from last night!)

I smell...wintermint Life Savers from the candy dish on my desk

I am going...to pop into JoAnn's after work today

I just read...an email from Eddie

I am hoping...to get my computer set up in my new computer/craft room this week or weekend

Today I will...mail some packages I'm behind on

I am thankful for...God, the love of my family and friends, and owls.


Jenny...I copied your starters... :)
