New baby!!!!!

Bobbie's daughter Raven had a baby boy! Yipee! 2 weeks early...but she went into labor this am. She was scheduled for a c-section on Oct. 28 so DR felt it was advisable to deliver. 6 lb.- 8 oz. and 19". No name as yet. A couple being mulled around.

Guess what. Julie came by today to explain why she wasn't here this weekend. Legit medical reasons...I told her to come back to work tomorrow. Just too much going on and we need her. That's that. I must say that I admire her for coming here. She needs this job and needed to explain. 'nough said. It was busy today. All room rentals were after 9 last night. At 8:30 there were only 4 outs. This morning there were 8! Good for business...but so much for an early day.

I just ate some ice cream and will take a shower in a few minutes. I think I will not be long for this world.

I finished 3 pairs of earrings and laid out 2 necklaces. I have decided to lay out the pattern on the bead board...take a photo of it (in case I don't feel like stringing it...which I never do!) and then put the beads in a ziplock bag for later. Deciding on the pattern is half the battle.

I must sew the bear bodies tomorrow. I got the filling today, so I hope to get them assembled tomorrow. Can't remember if I mentioned that I somehow broke the bobbin winding assembly on my new computerized sewing machine that I just HAD to have (have no idea how I broke it, either) And I didn't win the bid on e-bay for the electric bobbin winder (what a novel idea) and I'm too cheap to pay full price...so I will take the bobbins and thread to the laundry room and wind them to use tomorrow. It beats bringing another machine over here.

I'll eventually find the part on line. Sad part is that I'm too dumb to use the machine. It's 'new fangled'. I won't play the computer games in Vegas cuz they are too complicated and use too much change. I'd rather put in a nickle (or five) at a time and pull the handle. Good old manual labor. But I bought a computerized sewing machine. Go figure. I know that whole paragraph made no sense...but it did to me.

Absolutely beautiful day today. Comfortably warm in the day and cool and crisp at night. Perfect.

I'm off to get wet...have a nice night.
