I'm Back!

After a bout of cleaning I can't find my current WIP so here's one I pulled out to work on instead:

Birds of a Feather Counting Magpies

A few things have been going on while I've been gone the most important being the truck finally died the good death (burned up in the parking lot at home no less - can't get luckier than that) but wait, that's not the best part. Dad had left his Town and Country with me to drive while they went to Florida for a few months; told him about the truck and he said, get this 'why don't you just keep the minivan and register it in Texas?' Am I a spoiled brat or what? Love you Dad (and not just for that).

What else....work is going well, we're just taking mostly internal calls now so maybe I won't have to spend a fortune on the chiropractor....the Yankees are losing and the Rangers are in first place.....did the rangers sell their souls to the devils instead of the Yanks (Damn Yankees - an old, old, old musical).

Danny better NOT get voted off tonight and we lost TY from DWTS. And I haven't forgotten we still have a drawing to do - don't forget to follow!

Another Update

I'm glad I finally got around to stitching this one - I feel another pinkeep coming on. ;)

No other news except I scored big in the Yankees tickets department. They sell out so fast at the Ballpark that later on in the season they have a lottery where they release better seats than you can get at the regular Texas Rangers website. I got picked for this one and scored seats behind the Yankees dugout only 25 rows back. Not close enough to talk to them but definitely close enough to score some great pictures. I'll post those after the game; not until the first week in August. Can't wait!

On the work front we had our shift bid and I scored there too; after three years on nights I got a 4 day workweek 10 hr shift from 8am-7pm. Sunday, Monday and Wednesday off; can't get better than that, right?

What I've been working on

He's Cowboy Roy from Gloria and Pat. I can't believe I'm actually working on Aida - haven't touched that fabric for 20 years or so it seems and I didn't miss it not one bit. ;) It's for this guy http://lovequilts2008children.homestead.com/JoshuaW.html
I just had to do it since he's from Texas and loves the Cowboys and the Stars. It should be finished tomorrow (I actually have tomorrow and Monday off - yay!) and then I'm back to 12 Days. I might actually get that one done this weekend as well.

Nothing else going on here that's too exciting. Stadium still being worked on, the Rangers are out of town this weekend. I get to sleep as late as I want and go have coffee at the Pitt (wait - I do that every day:) ) but you know it's more fun when you get paid to loaf around.

Have a good weekend!
