family, termites, art

Well, Friday Mylon had to work late and as soon as he got home we went to his folks to eat. They had invited us and some out-of-town friends over and as usual Mylon's mom's cooking was perfect. :)
Patrick, my nephew came and stayed the night with us. He is wonderful!
Saturday he went to work with his papa and Mylon and I stuck around the house with projects and all. I found out I had termites in my garden shed. :( So my father-n-law gave me this stuff to spray all around and under it. I started to dig some of the ivy away from the infested corner so we can see the damage and see if we need to repair or what. I am afraid my beautiful ivy that grows wildly up the sides of my shed and around it may be damaged now, since I had to dig some of it away. Oh well.
Yesterday was church and it was my Sunday to work in the pre-school class. Oh my goodness. There was a new little boy. "KJ", only 3 and I could have brought him home with me. TOO CUTE! He had us laughing. I rather enjoy singing the 'kids' songs and all. I like being a kid.
We went to eat at mom and dads Sunday afternoon and I just about made myself sick. Just like I did Saturday night, (i forgot to mention). Mylon and I went to TX Roadhouse to eat Saturday night and we waited about 45 minutes to eat. It is always crazy packed there. Well, I dove into the rolls as soon as we got seated and just about made myself sick. :/ ha!
After eating at mom's and dad's India came to my house and we did art and then watched TV and played on the computer (looked at People Of Walmart) yikes, and visited and ate and it was great!
"Mad Men" finished my night off and I am sad to see it go and looking forward to next season.
Bye!

Already Thursday!

This week seems to be going by fast. Last Saturday Mylon and I worked on the goat's pen and fence. It needed some work, etc. Sunday at the church we had a hamburger fundraiser at lunch and then I had a wedding shower I helped with.
Monday I worked myself practically into the ground. I worked alllll day outside raking pine needles, trimming shubs and trees, making lots of trips to the burning pile with the wheel barrow. I LOVE working hard. :) Feels so good afterwards, except for the few aches and pains from being sore. ha!
So, needless to say I was kinda worthless Tuesday, well, as far as physical activity. But, I did get some drawing and painting in, as I watched Netflix. :) "Dan in Real life", what a neat movie. I also watched some documentaries, one of which was a little too disturbing.......so I didn't finish it. I think you might would need to smoke a joint in order to understand that one. ha! I didn't feel too well that day, so I worked my brain instead of my body.
Wednesday I volunteered at TRAHC and ran errands and went over to my sisters and visited with her and my lovely neices and nephew. Went by Joe's Pizza on the way home and got pizza for Mylon and a Calzone for me. Yum. Couldn't eat the whole thing though. HUGE!
Today? Well, some arts/crafting hopefully. House chores, walking, and anything God wants me to do.
bye now!

Harold and Maude

Today after I volunteered at TRAHC I came home and India came over and we watched "Harold and Maude". I got it from Netflix and I watched it the other day. I have seen it before anyway, but I love that movie. :) Makes you feel good. I think India liked it too.


Mylon had to go help set up at the church tonight for the live video they are doing tomorrow night at 20's Connection. Batman and I are just sitting around and I just got through eating a bowl of cereal. yum. : '





I actually have made quite a few things the last couple of days. Yesterday I made these cute little pin cushions , and today I painted and worked on some cards.





There is a movie on right now called "Thumbsucker"....good movie. About a teenage boy and his life and his problem with sucking his thumb, hence the name "Thumbsucker". :) It sorda has that Independent film feel. I like it.


Tomorrow, busy on projects hopefully. Bye!

India and Patrick

This past Saturday India and Patrick came out and spent the night and we made these Halloween Crafts! fun.

India's

mine

We went for a walk and Patrick and India took turns on the bike. The weather was so nice. They ate a pomegranate which they loved. It was Patrick's first one. I made them yummy grilled cheese/ham sandwiches and later that evening we baked ready made halloween cookies. They had ghosts on them. :) Of course Patrick and I are the ones that ate them, since we have the monster sweet tooth. We had hot dogs that night and Indy, Mylon and I watched an old movie on TCM, "The Letter" with Betty Davis and Patrick went upstairs and watched one of his favorite shows, "Goosebumps". We had a great time and great memories were made.

Rain, cool weather, movies

Well, I am totally lost this week. Sorda expected, but nevertheless, still lost.

Rained today and now the sun is coming out and the cool weather is here.

Trying to eat healthy today and I love healthy foods, but I also like junk foods. So, it is extremely hard for me to be disciplined in this area. It is like all or nothing for me. So, I can't really even eat one piece of chocolate, because I will be on a downward spiral from there. I HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Took today off from what I normally do basically. I guess that is okay. Watched a couple of movies, well sorda, while doing other things. I never totally devote all of my attention to the TV when it is on. Maybe an attention problem?

I noticed all I write about is me. yuck. It is NOT ALL ABOUT ME!

I ask God daily to show me what, where, when and who. I hope I am listening.

This is a 'doesn't make sense' week. So many things I don't understand and that I wish I could fix. If I am busy with God's work, will I forget about those things and then it will be better? Is it all about 'doing'? If I go get a job, will I forget about those things and then it will be better? My attitude must change.

I think I will go for a walk.

oh yea, clouds.........

i mentioned clouds in my title in my previous blog because it was cloudy today. :)
you probably could have guessed that.
supposed to rain?
then another cool front.
nice.
oh yea, and the pizza turned out well. i just had one bite cause i ate a late lunch, but mylon seemed to enjoy it.

pizza and clouds

Here is a 'special request' apron i made for someone. thought i would share it with you. :) Kinda retro and with a sunflower pocket.

I plan to make individual pizzas tonight. topped with bell peppers, ground beef, onion, black olives, hot peppers, and cheese. :0 that was my plan lastnight but it fell through, or maybe i did. lastnight was bring home tacos from 'taco tico'. Every day I plan to eat better, but that falls through too.

i am currently at TRAHC answering phones, but will be done in a bit.

i want to create something so badly, but nothing will come. :( I think i wanna get naked and roll around in the paint and see what i come up with. ????? I guess I am being honest today. :0

i want to eat sweets and watch old spooky movies. you know, the ones that aren't really scary, like dr. jekkyl and mr. hyde or the old vampire movies. i have been saying i want to do that now for a few days, but i haven't done it. well, i guess the sweets part i have sorda?

oh yea, a question i have had in my mind the last couple of days........"What is 'good enough'? " How do I know my good is good enough?

goodbye, goodday, goodnight! love you all! bye now.
