• Whole Lotta Life Changes Going on

  Ain’t been on here in a dogs age but have been reading just not much posting in case you haven’t noticed.  So much has been going on.  Yesterday, mom and I went to her doctors appt. and now she is able to walk around with one of those 4 pronged canes .  It was a lot of walking, since we went to the doctors appt., postoffice, picked up meds, then the DMV for her handicapped tag, then Costco, too.  She was like an energizer bunny.  Heck it wore me out.   She wanted to drive to the doctors appt. but I told her it wasn’t a good day for her to practice driving, for one - that far, it was raining like cats and dogs, there was flooding and accidents/delays everywhere being reported on the news and she was insisting on using her car.  So we end up using her car which has tags on it for getting on and off the base and when we get there the guard tells us they were expired.  He was nice enough to let us in and after her doctors appt. we went over to the office to get a new updated one.  We did a high 5 when we got home since we got so much done, WOO HOO!  Even got a new pair of jeans and some underwear, LOL at Costco. 

  Haven’t done any knitting at all lately and I’ve been moving around the projects that are almost done from here to there.  Maybe I’ll get to them some time soon.  I’ve just been on a knit-cation so to speek.  Since I’ve been feeling old and out of shape and just like burnt out from the past two years I’ve decided its time to take better care of myself.  So I’ve started doing more exercising with some weights and got a bike to do some cycling.  Yet, the weather hasn’t been very nice for cycling yet except for a day or two but I’m ready for when it comes.  Have you seen those commercials for the power 90 and other workout type of programs you can order from the t.v.  Well, they show these people who do the workout routines before and after pics and how in 90 days how in shape they get.  Ha, I’m thinking of doing that on here to catalog my progress.  I know I got this as a knitting blog and there will still be knitting but there will be other stuff too .  LOL, so if ya see my bare yet tasteful torso pic on here don’t be alarmed, LOL.  I’m thinking I can do the same kinda thing without the program and just do my own exercises and see what I look like in 90 days.  I’ll also post what I’m eating in as much as trying to eat a healthier diet, as well as what type of exercises I’m doing. Heck, March is almost gone already I better drop and do 20 pushups………

  I’ve been antsy about tryin to spruce up the environment in the room I’m staying in so heres a pic of the new colour scheme all inspired by the quilt I got in the hills of N.C.  Went out and got two more pillows for about 4 bucks a piece then some chocolate brown and fuschia purple pillow cases for about 12 bucks and then used a really cool piece of fabric I got outta the scrap binn at JoAnnes for a small pillow for some POP!  I like all the colours.  They make me happy and the quilt is a great warm one and funky.  

  

  I really like this quilt.  It’s made out of all kinds of stuff that I suppose expert quilters wouldn’t use because its got wool, polyester, and other unknown fabrics.  But the colours were cool and it was only 20 bucks so I had to have it.  If you can see it its tied with this variegated purple and white thread.  It looks like it is that crochet type cotton thread.  I just have to make sure to fold the edge down on it when I go to sleep because those ties are like little fingers and will tickle you and wake you up, LOL. 

  Okay, TTFN  Here’s to a good week for everyone!
