Ok Everyone. I am going to try be post more regularly.
In the big scheme of things, it has been pretty settled around us.
Have slowly been losing utilities... no $$ no bill paying. lost the tele last week. Damn DH..... and he is going back to work?????? when???? Need $$ desperately. ah well..... his insurance is paid up...hmmmmm 250k goes a long way. snerk, giggle...
Found out in January that I was gonna be a first time grandma... but alas poor K lost the wee one (3 months along). :o( but that is fine. better now. THEN she got THE RING on Valentines day... and now have set a date April 2007 YAY my baby getting married to the most wonderful man I have met in a long time. WTG Kiddo.
Still same old on the job front. just waiting for April 30 to see if I will still be in my job OR bumped into a $7/hour lower job. shit. trying to be upbeat, but hard to do when I love my job!!!and it WAS mine. I earned it and am good at it dammit.
Still waiting to get the link for DT's blog (come on bella!!!)
met a new blogger friend Daxahol . she lives close by and we meet on the bus occasionally. She will be going to a blogger convention in the spring in LA(note to self: make sure I email my addy!!!!) (lucky girl)
not doing too much stitching, too stressed with work and home!!!
Reading lots, sleeping lots (surprise), and thinking WAY too much.
That's all for now!!!!

Well, here I am back again. It has been a while but DT told me she does look for my posts. I can't wait to get her blog addy..... hurry up DT "snerk". I have not been doing much. Reading some harlequins (blaze nice and hot reads), stitching some (working on my dragon - Guardian this is what he will look like when done http://www.twdesignworks.com/Designs/guardian_l.html )
Been happy to be back to work in my OLD job. I love my job. Damn shame that it is only a temp till april. shiiiiiit. still have to look out for another job, as my new perm is an awful one...cleaner...what is that shit??? :(
Hubby was diagnosed as a diabetic and we are still waiting to see if he is a type 1 or 2 ah well, the same old crap...more things to worry about.

I am gonna try to post more often. maybe it will be cathartic for me.....

be back soon....... Lynn

Well. It has been a while. I have been busy with work. Same old... I still love my job and it gets better everyday (tho how it can get better when it was GREAT to begin with).
I still read my fave blogs almost everyday. I should make more of an effort to maintain my page. So I will start with what I have been reading and stitching...

The Last Rune series by Mark Anthony.......it has 6 books and I could not put it down. it is sooo good that I have my mom and dad reading it too (considering it is the very first fantasy series my mom has EVER read!!! that will tell ya something). I tend to like series especially fantasy. This series is set on Earth and Eldh (another world similar to Earth in the middle ages - but with magic. Current era characters are pulled into the story and have more to do with the history of Eldh than anyone can imagine. www.lastrune.com
R is for Ricochet. Sue Grafton. Really good. a trip back down memory lane with Kinsey. Nice to come back to.
Stroke of Midnight by Laurell K Hamilton. what can I say. OMG what a great series. Merideth Gentry is a fairy princess of the dark court the Unseelie court. Lots of intrigue, sex, gorgeous guys, sex, and whew... is it warm in here.... the only thing wrong with Laurell is that she is only writing one Meredith Gentry book every other year.... interspersed with her Anita Blake series.... another good hot one involving vampires, werewolves.... need I say more??? www.laurellkhamilton.com

Now to get to the stitching. I have been working on my BAP Missal Illuminated manuscript page. It is a monster. it is 600x845? sts about 25x36 inches when done.... try wielding that fabbie and stitching. Many, Many confetti stitches ala TW!!! ha ha here is a pic of the final piece.... http://community.webshots.com/photo/48617047/48623913VUiZwn

I am also going to make a bunch of smalls. Needlecases, scissors holders, thread holders, etc. I am planning on doing them all on a dusty rose evenweave. here are the links to pics I want to do.

Night all..... I would love to hear from anybody....... hello? anybody out there??????

Love Lynn
