Lost it…

My stitching mojo that is! Haven’t felt like stitching. Have tried to put some stitches into Washington Monument. Not very successful. Definitely not enough to share, lol! Anyhoo, I decided to give it up until the 1st of the month. I don't know smileFor now, I am just playing stupid Facebook games, watching stupid TV shows (well, except for Big Brother – It’s AWESOME! – and the only reality show I do watch), and trying to get caught up in my Janet Evanovich reading since #18 is due out in November instead of next summer, WOOO HOOOO!!
Been kinda busy at work too, covering for vacations. Lost my cool 2 Saturdays ago cause I get sick of getting screwed over on that day every single week. Yeah, I work every Saturday and while we are only open for a couple hours (830-12) it sucks having to stay late for people who can’t seem to call in their orders early enough. So, if you are one of those who waits until the last possible minute to order flowers Red rosefor your friends or loved ones, keep in mind that the drivers do get irritated having to stay late, especially on a Saturday when hours are cut in half, LOL! Winking smile Seriously though, I do enjoy my job and wouldn’t trade it for anything right now.
Oh, and can you believe that summer is almost over! Whew!! SunThis one sure did fly by; or am I just getting o-l-d?!

I'm sorry to hear that Julie, but I totally understand cause it does happen. I have a tendency to get burned out on a project and it goes to the side for a couple weeks and doesn't get touched at all.

Sometimes I think we stitchers put too much pressure on ourselves to finish a project by a deadline and it makes stitching more stressful and less relaxing.

I hope your mojo comes back soon and that work gets better. I too have been covering for a girl that has been out of the office and it sucks.

I'm sorry to hear that your mojo has deserted you! I feel a bit the same way at the moment. I might pick up some smalls to do, just to tide me over. The thought of just staring at the TV and watching it, rather than stitching & having it on the background, does appeal--but then I fall asleep!

Have a good weekend!

Farewell Daddy 3.8.1949 ~ 9.5.2012

Image
Thank you for being my daddy for the last 40 plus years. You were my rock when I needed one. You were my best friend. You are now in our loving Lord’s arms and healed of your pain. Reuniting with long departed loved ones. And Mrs. Beasley too. I will miss the way you play your guitar and sing the songs you enjoy. I will miss our drives together finding new places to see and explore. I will miss you, daddy, the rest of my physical life. I look forward to the day we see each other again. Look for me running to you; into your arms. Michael Shawn Hayes March 8, 1949 to September 5, 2012 63 years young

Well, it’s almost here! I am almost 40!! Why do I sound so happy about it you might be wondering. Most people get to this age and act as though their world is coming to an end. I choose to look at it in a positive way: I am STILL ALIVE!!! I know HE has a plan for me and my life. I am thankful everyday that I wake up. I am also thankful for my stitchy friends here in bloggy-land. Just because we don’t know one another on a personal level doesn’t mean we don’t know one another, right?! So, I am going to celebrate my birthday with you all. I am going to do a giveaway. Yup! I will call it “My 40th Year Giveaway”. What will be included in this giveaway you might ask? Well, stay tuned!
