Sunday ramblings

Today I wanted to go for a drive after church, but plans were changed after the hubby woke up to find a flat tire. He used the air compressor to get enough air in it to hold until after church (or so he thought). He went out and checked the tire half way through service to find it flat. We tried the spare, but that was flat as well (he never thought to check that, as he had never used it since getting the car). So we took the tire to the gas station to pump it up to get him back home.

We then stopped at Belle Tire, as they were having a sale on tires, only to find out AFTER purchasing the said tires, that they weren’t open for installation. Grrrr So we scrambled to figure out what were going to do for tomorrow, as we both needed cars, he to work, and me to take T to school. After lunch the hubs called his dad to ask some business questions that later led into a discussion about the car, to which we are now borrowing his Tahoe for the day/night.

So off we went to their house to get it. I hadn’t planned on staying long, as I don’t like driving at night out by their place, with all the deer. Its never a quick stop over there though. They tried feeding us, as usual, but we refused. We watched a show on the history channel about Al Capone, which for some reason led into talks about diets, and if we had heard about this diet, chromium picolinate for weight loss. John’s aunt had mentioned it to them. Never heard of it. I am assuming that this is for my mother in law, as my father in law is still needed to regain back all of his weight since his illness.

I finally said I was heading home, as I had some work to do, and wanted to finish sewing a project so I could get it stuffed in the morning. On the way home, I came up over the first hill from their house only to see 10 deer in the road, and they weren’t moving for nothing. So the whole way home I drove really slow. I really hate this time of year out in the country! Still waiting for my hubby to get home!

Time to do some shopping…

… for my new room that is! I finally finished my new craft room and want to find lots of cutesy things to put in it. I have been checking out all the sales, as I am all about finding the best deals!

One of my splurges I want to get is a small flat screen TV so I can still enjoy all of my shows while working on my scrapbooking or sewing. I did get a nine cubicle storage unit yesterday, that I put together all by myself. I was quite proud of myself.

My other splurge I want to invest in is some new lens for my digital camera. This will take me a while to save up for this splurge, but its definitely on my wish list. A video camera would be a bonus as well. I will have a nice long wish list to give to my hubby for Christmas. He won’t have any excuse as to what to get me this year!

I also need a sewing kit, to hold all of my sewing supplies and fabric. Its a good thing I have a nice walk in closet to store all of the deals that will yet to be found when I am out shopping! I guess I have better look into getting a part time job, as I love to shop!!

Work in progress

Its almost time to start working on getting my new hobby room! The oldest picks up his keys to his apartment on Monday. Then it will be all all about getting his stuff out, moving Trent’s stuff into Christopher’s old room, and all of my scrapbook supplies, yarn supplies and sewing stuff into the room! I was looking at the ceiling fan in Trent’s room and its got to go! While the room isn’t big enough, I would love to have one of those a href=”http://www.lightingshowplace.com/brand/Casablanca”>Casablanca fans. So cool! But for now, I will try and clean up the fan and make the best of it!

Scrapbook, sewing and knitting room, oh my!

A room of my own! Yay!! I will finally be getting my hobby room back in place! I have many ideas of how I want to decorate. One of the first things I plan on doing is splitting off the cable from my bedroom (I can do this now that Trent will be moving to the other bedroom), and will be looking into an HDTV flat screen to put in there. I don’t want to miss out on any of my favorite shows while busy working on all my projects! I would love to get another DVR box, but don’t think I can justify the added expense to our already stretched budget with me not working anymore.

Stay tuned to further updates, hopefully with before and after pictures!

Quilting

I want to learn how to make quilts. My cousin has been making them for years now, and I have been begging her to show me how. I just need to find the time when I can get up to her place for her to show me. I have made a few blankets, by just sewing some blocks together, but want to know how to do the real quilting.

I thought for sure with this last month of me being off, I would have had time to get over there, but the days just flew on by! Ugh! Maybe over the winter I will find the time.
