Men!
Why do they get the "Mr. Fix It" bug so close to the holiday's? John decided it was time to go around and check all the blinds and see what one's needed to be replaced. He went and bought a bunch of the housing units for most of the blinds. While at the store, he was checking out some bamboo blinds that he really wants to get for our bedroom so it would make it darker in there. I told him we didn't need them, and its dark enough with the blinds we have now and with the curtains. I wish he would get the "Mr. Fix It" bug for the things that actually need fixing, like say our entertainment center. If the door falls on my foot one more time I am going to scream!
Knitting orders
I have been busy making some fingerless gloves for some gals on a Christian parenting board I belong to. I hope they all like them! This is a relaxing outlet for me. They are quick and easy to make, and a nice break from making blankets. Well back to knitting, I want to get these all done before Thanksgiving!
What to choose?
So many diet pills to choose from these days. This is yet another one I found online, while searching, Fenterdren. I should be happy with how I look right now, and stop obsessing with trying to lose weight! My hubby is pleased with how I look, so I can't I be? Ugh! I have 10 or so pounds I would like to see go away forever! I am off to see what I can find, wish me luck!

A creative idea
My husband is going to get a linear motion carriage for his Router. By mounting it to a table, he figures he can make a combination "poor man's" joiner and mill. He can then take a rough cut piece of lumber and get it perfectly squared up saving him a bunch hours trying to do it by hand the old way and increase his bottom line in his guitar building business. The linear motion system should allow for repeatable, accurate cuts every time.
