UPDATED!

I have almost completely updated my quilting blog! YAY! I'd stay up and finish uploading the last 5 quilts from this month, but it's 2:30 AM Christmas morning....I think I'll go get a few hours of sleep before we wake Marshy up to see what Santa brought!


So, if you have time or the chance, go visit my quilting blog and see the cute quilts people have made. I get so many ideas from the quilts I quilt because I see so many different patterns and fabrics and styles of quilts.

AND, HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

So behind!

I was going to work a lot tonight. But I wore heels to the shop today and stood from 10:30 until 5:30 with only maybe an hour break total. I'm doing the flowers for my cousin's wedding on Saturday. Only half of the flowers are done. I have to finish tomorrow.

Anyway, my feet are KILLING me so I crashed on the couch and started watching the Santa Clause on Disney. I fell asleep 30 minutes in. When I woke up I restarted it, then fell asleep in the EXACT SAME SPOT! At 10:30 PM I went upstairs to go to bed and, wouldn't you know it, couldn't. So now I'm restless. It's too late to go work. My feet are still killing me. And, Mike is watching a movie downstairs (Public Enemies) so I can't sew.


UGH! I AM SO BEHIND!!!

Quickie Post

My Droid came today. It is AWESOME!!!

Also, got my sutures out on Tuesday. Have to go back in next Tuesday for a check-up. He's still worried about my one tooth.....the one that had like no gum on it and had lost some of the bone. Yeah, the fact that he's worried worries me. Hopefully it all works out. It's looking pretty good so far, but what do I know? I'm not a periodontist (for a reason! haha)!


Also, I'm spending Friday and Saturday doing flowers for my cousin's wedding. I'm a little stressed. I hope it doesn't snow on Saturday. I have to drive up to the Salty City Saturday afternoon to deliver the wedding dinner flowers/centerpieces.

ALSO ---- I have about 7 1/2 quilts left to do BEFORE Christmas (yes, Angel, that is counting your special last-minute one that you've been going to finish for 2 years now :-) haha)

OH, yeah, and Christmas is next SATURDAY. I still have gifts to make for friends, family, etc. So much fun, let me tell you! I do this every year. Last year I stayed up all night Christmas Eve finishing quilts, wrapping presents, and putting things together for family.

Hopefully this year I finish BEFORE Christmas Eve! haha

All I Want for Christmas, pt 2

Ordered it today. Ordered Mike's, too. They're coming tomorrow. I am so excited!

The idea of unlimited internet on my PHONE has me giddy! Now I can check my email, facebook, blog, update things, whatever ANYWHERE I GO! :)

I'm so happy. Thanks honey for a great Christmas present :)

Best Diet Ever

So, while this whole connective tissue graft has been such a pain in the butt, I have to admit that some good has come out of it.

I have lost 14 pounds in just under 2 weeks. That's pretty good, for me. In fact, when I went to the clinic on Saturday and they took my blood pressure, it's gone down from pre-hypertension to normal! YAY! Who'da thunk that 14 pounds could make that much of a difference?

Ultimately I would like to lose maybe 20 pounds by the time this ordeal is over. I'm supposed to get my sutures out on Wednesday, but unfortunately, due to my own stupidity (i.e.: eating pizza, even though it was cut up into bites), part of the sutures have pulled through, and I think I might have to go in tomorrow and have it reattached. Grrr.... stupid pizza.

Note: I don't recommend doing a Google image search for before/after photos. YIKES! Some people have scary gums. I thought mine were bad but after seeing those photos, I have some hope that they'll turn out okay. :)

Anyway, if you ever want to lose a lot of weight fast, try only chewing on your left molars, not biting into anything, and not drinking out of a straw. That cut out fast food and Coke for me. :( Oh well. Eating every 3-4 hours wasn't all that bad. Soup, spaghetti o's, pasta cut into little bites, applesauce and cottage cheese, yogurt, and lots and LOTS of water certainly has worked out well :)

Who knows? Maybe I'll keep the diet up after I get clearance to bite into things! haha

IZZY & IVY

Izzy & Ivy is having an awesome giveaway! If you haven't seen their patterns, go to their blog now and check them out. They are so fun!!

I just bought the Penelope Ruffles pattern. She is the prettiest bag you have ever seen! I can't wait to make mine!!

So, anyway, they are having a giveaway. Someone will win a Penelope Ruffles and 3 other people will win a set of 6 patterns. SO COOL! Go enter now!!!

Weird

So I just found out that, after taking amoxicillin for 10 days (and having taken it in the past) that I am ALLERGIC to it.

Last night I broke out in hives all over my arms and legs. I went to the clinic today and found out that, yes, I am allergic.


Mike still wants me to go get a full allergy panel done, because he thinks it's weird that it wouldn't have happened before now. I agree. The only problem is that the only allergist in my area that is accepted by my insurance is the "quack" I saw last spring.

So, I might have to drive up to the Salty City to get this taken care of. So not my favorite thing, but you gotta do what you gotta do, right?


Oh, and in happier news: I get my sutures out on Wednesday. I cannot wait to bite into a nice juicy hamburger! YAY!
