In all of the craziness, I have been dealing with Jeep issues. Its been in the shop more than I have had it in my possession since buying it on March 20th. I am hoping that this is the end of the issues and hoping that an auto7 oxygen sensor doesn’t pop up this time in the error codes!

I have also started a new project for a friend’s baby to be. I have a few things to finish up on it and hoping that she likes it once its done. If it turns out well, I plan on making more of them to post on my facebook craft page.

I can’t get started on too much right now, as the hubby has the gas turned off so he can fix some valve on the water heater. Hopefully its a quick fix, as the boys need to get up and get in the shower so we can go out to eat!!! I am starting to get very hungry!

My list:

Knit items

socks (just about have the first pair done, so excited!)
baker sock monkey
stuffed elephant
hats
fingerless gloves/mitts
slippers
sweater (style to be determined)

Scrapbooking

Get caught up, with what pictures I have printed thus far, then to tackle the thousands upon thousands that need to be printed.

Jewelry

Button bracelet (saw on Pinterest)

One day I will be able to just sit and craft!

I remember when I was in high school my friends and I went and saw the movie Grease and I thought that it was the best thing that I had ever seen in my life! I guess that it was kind of surprising and ground breaking, at least it seemed that way to me. So I’ve always kept the movie dear to my heart as a result. So when I heard that our local community theater was going to put on a production of the play, I decided to take advantage of it.

I looked onlien to get some more information on the community production of the play and whiel I was doing that, I ran across some information on miracle ear texas. I looked through it a little bit and after that I decided to go and get a free hearing test and get fitted with some hearing aids after I got hte results back.

I took my daughter to go and see the play with me and I thin kthat she really loved it. She’d seen Grease before, but I don’t think that she fully appreciated it until now!

With all of this building and painting, the music has slacked lately. I am still wanting to get a yamaha ypt-300 keyboard, so we can start playing together. It would really be nice if Trent started playing the drums again as well. Now to figure out what Christopher can play, as his singing is out!

Heck I may even get one for my hubby as well, for when he goes out with the boys. I will be on top of Christmas gifts this year!

Hope you all have the best year ever! Mine will be alot different as I have rejoined the working work, so I will have to find the time to fit all of my hobbies in.

I have 15 wash clothes to make before the 28th, so I know how I will be spending my downtime!

We recently looked into wild blue deals and decided to get internet service at our house. I have really enjoyed staying in touch with my friends through e-mail from home and not just at work. My friends also told me about a great new website that I absolutely love. The website is called Pintrest.com. Basically, it is a virtual bulletin board. When you are searching the internet, you can install a little “pin it” button on the top of your browser. When you see something that you like, you click the button, and it posts to your bulletin board. You can categorize the picture and also write a blurb about it underneath. You can follow your friends and others that have the same interests that you do. They can also follow you. For the last three nights, I have cooked dinner with recipes that I found on Pintrest. I recently started a new category to keep track of all the DIY projects that I come across that I love. Pintrest is a great idea!

I just put away the Christmas wreath, and put back the hat my Aunt made me so many years ago. I know it is very dated, but it has sentimental feelings attached to it. I have to find a way to preserve it once I put it up for good.

I turned in all of my rewards, gift cards and Christmas money to Best Buy so I could get my Kindle Fire. I am having fun looking for all sorts of “free” items to install on it. I am just a little bummed that I can get and app for two of my favorite games, Phase 10 and Chuzzle that I play on iTouch. Its a good thing I plan on keeping that, as I need it for the gym.

I have lots of books downloaded to it, and have them arranged in order of how I want to read them. But they will have to wait, as I have a few “regular” books that I need to read first, one being the first in the series of the Hunger Games that my hubby got for me for Christmas.

I like that it has the wi fi connection, as I can connect while on break at work to surf for good deals and coupons like: wet seal coupons, as I am working on my grocery list. On my list to check out tomorrow will be to see where we could go to get a side of beef, or even a 1/4. I want to fill up our freezer with the better cuts of meat, all while finding the best deal out there! Saving money is my number one goal!
