Not a damn thing!

That's what I want to say to my husband everyday when he asks what I did today. I know he doesn't mean anything by asking, but I get the feeling that he thinks I should be like June Cleaver and do a lot of housework. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN! I hate housework! Always have and always will! Yes, I tell myself I should be doing something around the house, but then I wake up and say, "Screw it!'. All I want to do is blog and crochet. What's wrong with that?
Here is a progress report on the christening dress...

 The first steps in making the dress was making 28 of these roses. What a pain! I had to make them a second time (that's 56 roses) because the thread I used for the first set was not the same color of white as the dress. It's hard to see in these photos, but the difference was evident when I started attaching them. Even my dear hubby could see the difference.

Today is my youngest granddaughter's 14th birthday. Happy Birthday, Kayla !

Five Question Friday

Five Question Friday at My Little Life. Come join the fun!

1. If you had a weekly newspaper column, what would you name it?

"You can't fix stupid!" Sorry, but this seems to be an on going thing here where I work. Seems even with detailed written instructions, people still screw up!


2. Who is your mentor/inspiration?
My mother and father. Although I thought they were being mean (don't all kids?), they taught me that good outweighs bad. I had to do without alot of things that other kids had, but it didn't kill me and I am a better person for it.


3. What is your wake up beverage of choice?
Java,java,java!! Got to have my coffee! I like mine with sugar-free vanilla creamer and two spoons of sugar.


4. Would you wear your mom's clothes?
No, only because she is more 'bustier' than me. :-(  She always told me that when I had kids my boobs would grow. NOT! Oh they did until I had the kid, then they shriveled up! :-)


5. When you were a kid, did you put posters on your wall? If so, what were they of?
Seems so long ago, it's hard to remember. I don't think my parents let us, but if I did the posters would have been of the Monkees or the Beatles.

Vandalism!

Sorry I haven't been visiting any of my friends lately, but my world was turned upside down yesterday morning when my husband called me at work and told me someone had broke into his truck and cut the locks on our storage buildings. After calling the sheriff's department, he called me back to let me know that nothing had been taken. That was a relief but it still unnerved both of us. They had also pushed the window air conditioner in and broke the window to my 'playhouse'.
My mother lives next door, so my husband called her and told her to have my brother check around her house. They found the locks to her storage building and my dad's barn were cut. Again, nothing taken.
My mother and I do not have a dog, so that was the reasoning for only our homes being vandalized.
Then, yesterday on the way to my grandson's ball game, I saw a sheriff's car at a friends house. This friend works with me and I asked him this morning what was going on. Seems the same person had broken into two cars and only took a pack of cigarettes. This made me feel a little better knowing that we weren't singled out.
Looks like we are going to look into getting a dog.
Hope your week has gone better.
