Yuck...back to work!

We have been out of school and work for the last two days due to ice and snow. I am NOT looking forward to going to class or work. I kind of like this whole no school thing.....oh well! Back in the grind. How many days until spring break??

IT'S BACK!!!!

Last week one of my greatest loves came back! Yep American Idol is back on. I am a HUGE HUGE fan of the show. Our first song at our wedding was a moment like this by Kelly Clarkson. For those that don't know I am a singer and I went to college(the first time) on a music scholarship. I love watching to awful ones and love getting goose bumps from the great ones.:0) This is a new year for me...maybe this will be the summer I try out!? Anyway, I am SO excited about this season. I am also excited I bought Joe Tivo for Christmas...no more missed shows!

My first sewing project on my new machine!!

My dear friend Alexa is having a Birthday tomorrow and is moving soon back to Cincinnati where she is from. I was trying to think of the perfect gift for her. Her two favorite loves are Pabst Blue Ribbon beer and purses. So I decided to combine them. I bought the shirt on eBay. It arrived last night and I soon got to work! Here are some pictures of the finished product. Hope you(and she) enjoy them!
The first picture is the pocket inside the purse made from the sleeve of the shirt. The second picture is the finished product.
P.S. I am now taking your requests for t-shirts too!:0)

Marley and Me

Grab a friend or your hubby and a box of tissues and go see it! I loved it and recommend it to anyone!

2009= the year of me

My New Years resolution is to spend this year on me. I have decided that this year I am going to try new adventures, find new hobbies and spend the year on myself. My best friend here is joining Weight Watchers and wants me to be her support, so I am going to join too. I am going to use this year to find a way to exercise that I actually ENJOY versus seeming like exercise. I am not a runner or treadmill fan. Asthma and big boobs=not liking to run! So...I am going to explore my options. When my Grandmother passed away last February she willed her AMAZING high tech sewing;embroidery machine to me.I just got it last week and I am looking forward to using it. I know how to sew but I am going to explore the world of embroidery. I have never been a reader, but I am going to make a point to read this year. Even if it's a page a book per night. I survived high school and college on cliff's notes and those that know me know I am ADD, but I want to enjoy reading.
I love to cook and if I can brag for a minute I am a damn good one! he he but this year I am going to branch out in my cooking styles and create dishes I would have never made before. I am even going to branch into some seafood which I have not been a fan of before.

Anyway, I guess this blog is getting long so I will run. Basically I am saying that somewhere along the way in trying to please everyone else I forgot about myself. NOT THIS YEAR!! I am going to live for me and do things I love.
