Blogging for dummies!

I hit the wrong button and my post went on my blog, before I grammar checked, spell checked and "made sense" checked. Here are my corrections:

Ken rigged the drain pipe with a wire coat hanger. That's better!

I think the wish bone segment is ok, except for grammar! But it wouldn't be mine if wasn't incorrect grammar!!

Tommy's pillow is incredibly cute!! I can't imagine how long those took, does the woman ever sleep??

More

Sometimes I have nothing to blog about for days, then other days, it's like wow, I could put that, that, and that on my blog. Today is one of those days.
Item #1, Genius for a Husband. We have one shower that drips, we've pulled the shower (all tile) apart, we've changed washers, we've done everything but replace the thing and it still drips. It's not the shower head, it's down in the pipes. Our house is on a hill and that bathroom is way far way from the ground, thus the longer than normal pipes. So, this morning Ken is pacing the house, in, out up and down the wall. He finally tells me I've solved the shower drip. This from out of the blue. I rigged (and I do mean rigged) that he cut and made one long piece of wire down the drain, now that water trickle runs down the hanger and doesn't fall so far down the pipe, thus the echoing drip noise is gone. Genius!!

Item #2, My parents are all a twiddle - no wish bone in this years turkey. Mom is pulling the tiny pieces off the carcus to make one more sandwich, no wish bone, what to do!!

Dancing with the Stars

They are sooooooo good and both have great chemistry!! They deserve to win. She is amazingly talented and he's just too cute (even for a race car driver!) I'm painting on fabric and loving it, some of it belongs to Santa, so can't show it!!

Bogie just reminded it's Pet Wednesday, ok I guess he can send you all a message.

Hope you all had a good Thanksgiving, who knew smoked turkey was soooo good. I've managed to get my fair share and yes people it so makes you sleepy, I've taken extra naps. Speaking of naps, Starbucks stole my chair. He rotates around the house for his nap places, these places he so carefully chooses, last about a week, then he selects another spot. Well, right now he's in my chair, I can't very easily say "move", as he weighs more than me and he could sit on me, plus he's pretty handy with that right paw!! Mom's putting up and all these red and green things all over the house, hope it means presents for me!!?? Oh, yeah, Starbucks too!! Mom read us an article in the newspaper that the coffee company Starbucks is opening some kind of production plant in SC!!! Maybe Mom could take Starbucks to Starbucks, I kill myself!! heee, heee

Gamecock Blues

Our Gamecocks lost our state rivalry! Clemson won, they have bragging rights for one year, and one year only!! Right now my throat has bragging rights over my body!! Didn't feel good yesterday, and that thing in the back of my throat got swollen again, now I have a frog in my throat!! Lived off of NyQuil yesterday, maybe today I can quilt and watch old Simply Quilts (I have my favorites in dvd format, from tivo!) I love Liz's quilt, an autumn wedding ring, maybe I could try that!! If I finish half of what I've started in my very short quilting career, I will never have to paint my house again, just hang quilts!! Hey, what an idea!! I guess now, the countdown to Christmas begins, shopping, decorating, cards, cleaning (ickky poo!) and eating. I've got the eating part down!! I'm going to take some my NyQuil. Bye, as I walk off in my foggy state!

Turkey Day

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone from Bogie and Starbucks!

A little grey hair (hare)

One day your hair is the color you pay for the next it has 4 inch grey roots. How does that happen??

I'm working on some painted cloth stuff. Love this!!

Veterans

Happy Veterans Day to all those who fought for a REAL cause. Sorry for all those that are currently fighting for an egomaniac! (with way too much power)

Good Things

Ok, the best thing I've bought in a LONG time - something like $5.99 at Toys R US, it fits into my I-Pod and is moderate sound quality. This is a mini speaker that allows you to listen to your i-pod like a stereo, no ear phones. AMAZING!

Second, I must be channeling my inner Kaffe:

Bad Days Night

The animals in our house are in deep trouble!! Somehow Starbucks got into Bogie's room last night, therefore Bogie sees fit to scratch on his door until somebody opens it and gets the cat out. I (being the smartest one here) knew there was no way the cat was in there, so I kept on ignoring Bogie, hoping he'd give up and go to sleep. Every hour, scratch, scratch, then scratch scratch, bark. Finally, around 3:30, I let him out, brought him to our room and on to our bed, of course he has to go through the routine of kissing both of us, and his 27 spots he has to lick on himself before he settles down to sleep. Then the cat is crying in the hallway and knocking things over, he sounded like a grizzly bear bumping around in the house. THEN I kid you not, my cell phone starts in on the "battery low" chirp it makes. I had to get back up and turn the darn thing off. Needless to say, it's a two coffee morning around here. Oh, and then we get up and get in the living room, and Starbucks has decided to help me decorate for Halloween by bringing in a dead vole and leaving right in the middle of the floor!! How did that cat get into Bogie's room?? Of course, now both animals are napping, Bogie for an hour or so, Starbucks for his usual 9+ hours!!! ANIMALS ugh!!!

I'm back!!

Cemetary in Front Flower Bed
Laboratory, scary stuff!!
My helper, which we couldn't had done without!! aka Julie my sister!
Lili's room, were non essentials were stuffed!!
It took me forever to recover from the Halloween Party!! We had a great time and I think Ken was really surprised. I did a toast, roast type and then we went on with just a drop in type party. Food was very good! and we had just enough, too much roast beef and cheese. The deli really oversold themselves!! My decorations were appreciated too! A fun time for all. Now I'm working on sewing projects (all those I was dying to do while I was in the party mode!!)
