The Sun is Shining Through...

AHHHHHHHHHHHH, finally feeling like I can breath...

will i ever feel better?

I am seriously starting to think that I will be sick for Forever. I don't have any energy...I am sitting here with an earache, sore throat, chest pain and headache...took 2 tylenol pm's and still no relief. I know I'm talking to myself and I'm not even listening...One day the generation after me will possibly read these postings and think what a whiner I am...Truly I am no whiner, because I'm only whining to myself. Thats allowed. Isn't it...

sick sicker sickest...

yuck yucky yuck yuck...this sucks, so much for a healthy resistance...could it be that i don't take as good care about myself as i claim too...ummmmm...yeah...now it has literally spread from one kid to the other and it just seems to dig in deep and settle...i don't mind the normal OK it's that time of the year for the FLU season, but this is obsessive...what else is new...if only my ears didn't hurt, oh and my throat, my skin, my hair, my fingers and toes...i hope i feel better this week...

But, but, but...

But what...Butt head with an extra T...I once again started to Lax in my blogging...Catch up...Last week I was in the emergency room due to ovarian cyst...Serious pain and none stop funkyness all over. Yuck take these ovaries out...I am now feeling much better with that problem and now sick with the flu...In fact the whole house is sick with the flu...Been doing nothing but sleeping eating and blogging...That is it for now and I will come back when I have something as boring as this to post...

Lose 5 LBS. Instantly

Well, if it sounds to good to be true, IT IS! The weight lose part is true but not by choice...I just got home from the hospital. I started to have abdominal pains early evening. Not thinking to much about this, other then my regular female cramps

Keeping track...

Tag Your It...

Well Barack, show us the money...You know what I mean...There isn't going to be a magic switch or EASY BUTTON that you can tap on and off. It's going to take an entire country to heal the wounds of this battered but not broken country...I'm standing behind you 100% to succeed. We all should be...We all need to be...It's not about one, it's about all...There is a lot of work to be done...Luck to us all...We need it...

History in the Making...

Today is the day to be remembered by all...The first African-American President of the United States of America will be sworn in. Crowds are arriving by the thousands, millions expected in the mall area to watch Barack Obama become the 44th President of The United States...Change is Coming I hope for the sake of all of us...

Trying to keep up, but I don't know why?

Ok, I figured if everyone else can keep up their daily blogs then I should be able too. I just don't have that much excitment in my life to string others along with me...So obvisiously these postings are completely self rightous...I'm trying to sell my yarn on ebay, etsy, ravelry, and where ever else I can post my sales...

PASS THE JEANS, PLEASE

I thought this would be fun… Here it goes…I am going to take a pair of plain jeans and I am going to mail them to who ever signs up for this experiment. The idea is for each person that receives the jeans, can either embroider, sew, bead, paint, iron, quilt, needle felt, design, etc. something onto the jeans and then mail them onto the next person on the list. You can keep the jeans anywhere from 1-3 day’s to create your design idea…Then mail them on to the next person on the list, and sew on and sew on. What do you think…Ya’ all up for this challenge? All in fun…If this is a successful Pass-Along then anyone who has participated in this project will be on the list to send the next pair of their jeans… Here are some ideas…

If it isn't moving, it's free range for thread, beads, sequins, paint, yarn, floss and anything else that can be added to embellish fabric . I am so totally addicted to this art form. Love using all of these mixed mediums together. Creativity is Endless.

My Bad

I know, my bad. I stink at this posting stuff. I have new stuff to post that I will be selling on Etsy. My custom made Funtons. (Buttons). I'm still not finished with these Funtons. I still have to put backings on them sand them and then seal them.

I'm saying, "Sorry for Straying"

I know, I know. I keep straying away from my blogispere. I can't help it. I'm not that all exciting. School started today. YAY! Well the boy's all got up bright and early this morning. They hated it,(ME). Rise and shine. Teenagers definitely don't like hearing anything cheerful coming out of their mothers moth, that early in the morning. Made them eggs, scrambled like my brain, they got dressed and took them to their first day of orientation. Even though the twins are homeschooled they still have to go to the actual school for orientation. Then they must go once a week for 4 hours of math. PE is also required. I don't think they count playing on the X BOX as physical activity. My oldest started college. On-line that is. He completed his first assignment today. Yay for him. Tonight is the parent orientation night at the school. Until then, see ya.

Monday Morning you Sure Look Fine...

Monday morning is my favorite day of the week. I love the feeling of a fresh week ahead of me. Especially after a wonderful weekend. All is great in the Lotto Camp. We are all keeping busy and enjoying our life. Ricco and I ran from our house to Einsteins Bagels yesterday. Yes, of course it was farther then we thought. We did it, though, got there had a tea and bagel with a schmere of lox spread and jogged back home. Then we all met up later that morning for our Sunday brunch with the family. Nico's team came in 3rd in Cali. He wasn't real happy about that. Rand is just being Rand. Silly and funny as ever.

OK, this was my first attempt at getting Shadow into this awesome outfit. It was a diaster. Then after 3 videos later, we finally got him dressed. Poor, poor Shadow. I then found out that the designer had put 3 snaps on the belly portion of this amazing creation. So that's what Shadow was trying to tell me. DUHH. Oh well, I"ll post more video's of him hopping like a Duck, we are also teaching him to QUACK!

Here is my first attempt at getting Shadow in this straight jacket, hm ummmm, I mean Duck Suit. I just found out from the designer that there are 3 snaps on the body portion. Poor Shadow if only I were smarter. I didn't see them as I was so excited to get him in this awesome outfit. Oh well, now she tells me. LOL

OK this is a real POST this time.

Been busier then ever lately, that I just have been posting by BLOG THIS, on Flickr (the easy button). I have been working out at least 5 days a week. I have changed the way I eat completely. Back to the old way. The healthy, the smart way, 6-8 small meals per day. I feel like a million bucks now. The old me is gone, literally. I have practically reached my preferred weight goal. I plan on continuing this regimen forever now. I am actually going to be starting my Spinning classes again. Yay, I really love those classes. Yes, they are hard core. I was great at it though. It is my cup of tea. Still got my spinning shoes, I am rearing to go. I have been keeping a self portrait diary of myself as I have been redoing my life. I love how far I have come, and I actually am proud of my progress. I can fit into all my old clothes and I have been shopping and treating myself to new outfits as well. Mostly workout clothes, but that is fine with me. I will keep updating my posts as I get the time. Busy with all the bead swaps, contests, charities, and patterns that need to be done over. I am having a new designer Kenyetta, who is a moderator on my ADHD KNITTERS group on Ravelry and my mmg/bff/ccp/npp/2dn re-edit all the errors in the patterns that have been formally done. So many mistakes, it's embarrassing. I actually have been giving people free extra patterns of the patterns I know are right , or offering them their money back for the errors that they have come across. Live and learn. I can't believe how timid I was. I really believe my weight was standing in my way. I felt inferior and powerless. What a difference a day makes. Loving life and living it to it's fullness. Till next time. Here's a tip: Don't forget to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.
