Monday...another Monday...

I am full which is a good thing. But I have felt crappy for a couple of days. Not a good thing. I shall be well tomorrow. I rested last night as I had another of those Coricidin HBP assisted sleeps. And I finally got hungry this afternoon. No more nausea. No more ginger tea. It was killing me, as well.

I wish it was spring and time to plant something. Not that I am going too...but I might. I just might plant something so extraordinary...that you just won't believe it! Fat chance...but I could surprise everyone. What would define extraordinary....hmmmm....perhaps flowers. Like Lillie's of the Valley. Or daisies.....or Stinking Benjamin's! I'll put some serious thought to it...

Remember that hat??? What a disaster. UG-LEEEEE! I found another and MUCH simpler pattern today and will try it. Actually I found two. One knitted and one crocheted. And in the category of 'easy'....my favorite category. The other one was 'intermediate'. I haven't been an 'intermediate' since I was a Girl Scout! Not going back there....

The wind was a-blowin' today. Supposedly gusts up to 40 mph. I believe it. Other than the wind, it was a beautiful day. And there was a small earthquake about 75 miles north of here! In Balmorhea...This is what I found on their blog site: BALMORHEA: In the early morning hours in West Texas, we experienced two minor earthquakes, one at 3.1 and the other at 2.5. The opinion of those in the know believe it to be the result of fracking in the area. The powers that be. Curious. I still believe we are sucking the core of the earth out a little every day...sad...

Francine thinks I'm full of shit. She's an air head.

Gotta shower. Later gator......

I don't want to read the paper anymore...

I don't know....Just what would husband do??? Beats me. Probably start some shit or something. Would he be already planning what to make for next year's Christmas Craft Show??

I think not.

I am. Thinking about it. Planning. Always planning. I have decided if I start 'the list' and plan now...I will really be disappointed when I screw up!!

I told you about the new hat patterns...right? They are cute. I am going to try to make one. I'm concerned, however, as the pattern, although not seriously complicated in the least, might be too complicated for me. Any time the directions start out...Chain 2, 6 sc (single crochet) in 2nd ch from hook. (6 sc) Place marker. What marker. I don't have no stinkin' marker! And I want to start this thing tonight...let's see...what to use...what to use...HEY!! Safety pins! I have a ton of them!! Brilliant. Let's see...if I was a safety pin where would I be...hmmmmm...shit...I have no idea.

What else can I use...BAM to the head! I can count! Sure...I can just count the stitches...what an idiot!.

OK....let's see...let me read on....OK Round 2...2 sc in each sc around. (12 sc) K.............

Round 3...(Sc in next sc, 2 sc in next sc) around. (18sc) ......Shit.

Round 4...(Sc in each of next 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc) around. (24 sc)...Jeeeezzzuussss....

Round 5...(SC in each of next 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc) around (30 sc).  ok Ok OK OK!!! I'm getting the hang of it...

Unfortunately....what I am 'sc'-ing is not looking like the picture. Perhaps by the time I get to (166,734) around....I'll be all over it!

I'll let you know....

Sad

Bye Bye Charron.

Don't ya just love apples?

I do. And I'm not supposed to eat too many of them. Maybe none...I don't know...but I sure do like 'em. We had to go to Ft. Stockton a few days ago and went into Wal-Mart for only five things. Medication, oranges, apples, cat litter and milk. I forgot the milk. But got the other stuff. I have eaten the medication and apples and most of the oranges. Unfortunately I use up all my excess calorie intake from the oranges by spitting out the 100's of seeds that are in them. They still taste good...were cheap...(hence the seeds)...and I am feeling better. My blood sugar is staying fairly well in check even with me eating fruit. Gotta do it. It's the law.

It was cold today and semi snowy. We got off super light compared to Odessa/Midland...even Ft. Stockton! They got slammed! I wish we had gotten more. A little more precip is predicted later in the week....let us pray....

I am antsy. I feel some impending doom. Maybe not bad doom...just some doom. Doom. Doesn't even sound like a word....

Hawaii 5-0 is on. Already seem it...but it's good nevertheless. I hope I can finish this before the internet goes out again. It has been on/off all day and it's irritating. I did some research earlier and had to keep 'saving' stuff constantly as I'd loose the signal. Bummer............

I have found some great patterns on line....saved in anticipation of next December's craft show! LOL! I should make my to-do list right now....and stick to it! That's gonna happen!

I'm very sad. My very good and dear friend is not doing well. My heart hurts. Life isn't fair. Today I am disappointed.

Goodness...they may be more winter weather on the way! News at 10!! I think I'll post...before I lose. Have a wonderful evening and think about the people you love.

Do you know how long an eternity is??

However many days it's been since November 22...that's how long an eternity is.. And I have a cold. I have had it for 29 hours...and it feels like I have had it for an eternity.

I hate sneezing. I hate sniffling. I hate a sore throat. Right this minute I hate just about everything. I hate that 30 minute period while the medication is wearing off and the new dose is taking effect. I'm thinking hot tea is making me nauseous. Broth is repulsive. Hard candy is making my tongue sore. The smartest thing I did was to buy 3 boxes of Puffs with Lotion a month ago.

Christmas has come and gone...the New Year is here...2012. Wow! I didn't think I'd make it to 2000. What a nightmare!! Let's see...do I have any resolutions? Sure! Plenty of them. Am I going to keep them?? I doubt it. Here's a good one...I resolved to...without fail!...write EVERY DAY!! BAM! Cross that one out!! I resolved to take better care of myself...BAM! Cross that one out! I have gotten more sleep. Unfortunately, it's induced by Coricidin HB...whatever! I'll take it!

Can you tell that I am having a negative day? It won't be this way tomorrow. It's only negative because I feel like shit. Tomorrow will be a shitless feeling day. Honest.

I think perhaps I'll eat a cookie. With some dreaded hot tea. Sorry for the downer. Manana!!
