I'm so lazy....

Well, I have managed to make it till 2:00 without starting my sewing....and now I am behind. Crap. I hate it when I do that. I did clean the house, wash floors, do laundry, etc. I enjoy that, but the sewing gets on my nerves sometimes. My dh works for a company that makes halos for people who have broken their necks, etc., and cervical implants for the spine. What I make are surgical positioning board covers. They go over the posts on special tables that are used for back surgery. They kind of look like hats. I had never sewn before with a machine when my dh volunteered my services....so I was sent to the woman's house who was previously doing it, for a 2 day lesson. Now, I can whip those suckers out like nothing on my $3000 machine....but I have no idea how to actually use the machine to make anything cool like curtains or slip covers. I really should invest in a sewing class or something like that. I would love to make specialty pillows or something of that nature to sell. But, that would involve me researching, taking classes, honing my skills....and I am much too lazy for that. But, I've been thinking about it. Who knows? In a year you may be referring to me as Sherry the Pillow Queen....

It's meeeeee!

AOL by Phone...

Well, I tried to post using the aol by phone, but it isn't showing up, and when I try to call back, they say they can't sign me in with my information.  Why oh why did I think that this would be easy? Maybe it takes a while for it to show up on your journal....or maybe it just screwed it all up! I don't know but I will try again later....I must do some cleaning now!

A Fun Sunday Night....

Well, it's after nine on Sunday evening, and I'm getting ready for bed. I've had a fun evening....catching up on journals (some funny reads out there), and e-mailing with one crazy lady! (you know who you are....LOL). I also signed up for the aol by phone. I may decide to try it tomorrow morning, after the kids go to school. I don't know why, but I somehow think I'd feel funny talking into the phone about my day with people watching me. My dd would probably say that I need to get a life. Wha? I have a life....and it consists of reading journals, calling into my journal, updating my journal....

*Cough, sniffle, sneeze....*

Good Sunday afternoon to everyone....I am sick. My head hurts, my chest is congested and I'm sneezing. And my clothes hurt to touch me....have you ever had that? Where it just hurts to have anything against your skin? Well, that's what I feel like. And I started making dinner, but now don't feel like finishing it....waaaahhh. But I must, or the salmon patties will stink up the fridge. I also made sweet potatoes, corn on the cob (for the vitamin "c"), and home made chocolate pie (for vitamins "f-a-and t".  All I have to do is cook the patties, but that takes a while and splatters a lot. Crud. Why do I start these things when I don't feel good? Probably because it's a rainy day and I just had the urge to cook. The girls and I got drenched going to the car at church, so I had the heater up full blast. I'm dry now, but still chilled. Well, enough of my complaining. I am going to list 5 things that are good in my life, to counteract the negativity that plagues me today.  Okay, here we go. Ummmm, uhhhhh, let's see. Okay, I've got it. 1. My kids are home and enjoying a cozy day with the family. 2. It's raining and we need it. 3. My family will have a nice, nutritious dinner today. 4. My husband is happy today. 5. I have the best bunch of journal pals around!
