gonna go to Books-a-Million
and meet MORE local knitters
met Janet & other local knitters
at B&N in fayetteville on Mon nite
this is how far i got

Debbie is up to her OLD ways

so, once again
Debbie the "TEMPTRESS"
has found something for me to make

contact check

so
today i got the contacts checked
dr tweaked them
the first set
had some distance issues
BUT NOW!!
i can read the stuff on the shelves
i can see to drive
i can read without glasses
i can knit
i can read instructions so i can
safely cook once again
i think the NEW contacts
will be GREAT!!!!!!

WHO-HHHHOOOOOOO!!!!!!

we can take showers next month
and do laundry
AND run the dishwasher

yup,
been raining about 12 hours
had so much rain
it's accumulating & pooling
means i gotta use the treadmill today
bummer
squirrels won't come out to play in the rain

Monday, March 3

da TAMS

so, i was at wally-world tonite
for $1.72, i can buy a 11" plastic plate
bought 3
1 for each tam
will hang them on the wall as "ART"

it was tuff to get the tam over the edge
and when it was on, the fit is PERFECTO!!!!

just gotta figure out how to hang it
couldn't find the fabric thingy that sticks to the back

hhmmmmmm
i can look tomoro @ home depot after i get the contacts checked

the walk

OK
so i walked thru the woods for over an hour
went a different direction today
saw LOTS of squirrels
they didn't show up in the photos
saw a bunch of different colored /sizes of birds
again
didn't show up in the photos
people playing golf didn't show up either
anyways
i had an enjoyable afternoon
gotta do domestic goddess stuff now
so i can go knit later

gonna meet knitters

tonite, i am goin' to
Barnes & Nobles in Fayettville
to meet sonm local knitters
WILL be fun
now ..
what to take

my walk today

time to do something ...

even if it's wrong

so far today
had 2 slices of toasted Pulbix breakfast bread with
peanut butter on them
3 cups of Sunset Cinnamon Latte
used skim milk
fewer calories - tastes as good
gonna put on shorts
and sunglasses
and iPod
gonna go outside
taking the cell so i can take pix

hair drier

i bought a NEW hair dryer
it's one of the new "sraightening" kind
so far
i LIKE it
the hair even looks good the next day

a thought

yeah, i KNOW
bad idea to think
anyways
i have 2 tams
i won't wear them
don't want to give them away
they took too long to make
they are an accomplishment in knitting
so, i will felt them slightly
to shrink them about 1 1/2"
put them on Frisbees
hang them on the wall as ART
since i don't really need plate warmers

view from the Treadmill in the sun room at home

This is what I see while I am on the treadmill
when i am at home
There were squirells playing
But they disappeared before I got the camera

see ...
DAFFODILS in the side yard
putting on clothes & sox & shoes
gonna go walk thru the woods
it's 66 degrees out
and only 11 AM

toenail

my toenail that got infected
when i got a pedicure last summer
and fell off this past winter
has almost completly grown back
in time to get polished so i can
wear sandals

Sunday, March 2

DRACO has decided he has stayed home
guarding the "Castle" long enuff
he wanted to go to Jamacia with me

Girlie Stuff

i don't wear a lt of make-up
i don't do the cleaning, toning & moisturizing
BEFORE i put on foundation
in fact, i don't wear that either
and now i hear i have to get one with
a sunscreen in it
so, i have been told i SHOULD wear make-up
i wear mascara & shadow
so the quandry
what COLOR
what stuff to wear
eyebrow pencil or gel
eye liner - liquid or pencil
lip liner - WHY??
lipstick - the tube or the 12 - 18 hour kind
blush then where does it go
not to mention the correct color of shadow
so, i go to buy stuff
i am confused about ALL the options
now i know why i don't do the girlie stuff
