Did I mention I was going on vacation?
I am SO excited!
We are headed up to Lincoln NH for a week of fun and relaxation... I plan on spending a lot of the time in the hot tub and relaxing... Jim got me (what I hope is) a good book, and I am bringing a few crafts (just ones that are fun not any that are work), we have out kayaks and I am bringing my favorite (okay okay only) running shoes. Annie is going to look after the horses while I am gone and Cheryl is taking care of the cats and fish, and the in laws are taking the dog... Ahhhhh sweet vacation!
We will be looking at sights like this:
And eating here:
And playing mini golf here:
And this is the view from where we are staying:
I. can. not. wait.
I will chat with you all in a week and if you need me before then just call - I don't think I have that fandangled interweb stuff up there...

All Hallows Eve is coming...
Adult style :-)
July 28th is the date this year. This is one of my favorite holidays of the year (can you call it a holiday if there is nothing holy about it and it's 6 months wrong? Well I am! We are talking about the one time a year that everybody kind of lets their fences down and just has fun... And did I mention it is adult trick or treating (well children too but theirs ends earlier) and the treats are shots of many sorts... I can't wait to have spiked watermelon (Erin you can have my jello shots) and I have learned to love pudding shots (holy cow how good can a drink be?)
Anyway we (somehow I talked Erin into coming - HUGS) are going to have a great time and it will be a good time... Ohhh Erin did I mention there is a contest for best costume by age group... Last year it was won by a man and a dwarf (is that politically correct?) who dressed up as something from Austin Powers and "mini me"... My mom won two years ago dressed up as a hershey bar because she called herself a third of a s'more... I am always some sort of butterfly...
Anyway that is all for today!

FOURTH OF JULY HEADQUARTERS

My latest project (and cancer hats too)
So my latest project was for a swap that I am in on swap-bot.com
It was called give and recieve the theory was that someone would send me something (whatever they wanted) and I would have to make something out of it. Well I sent yarn and buttons and got back the CUTEST stuffed horse with buttone for eyes and yarn for a mane and tail...
And I was sent fabric! Yeah what do I do with fabric? I cut it into strips and am making a rag rug. There is no sewing involved (well since I can't sew I really think that the no sewing was important - though someday Erin if you like sewing again will you teach me?) The rug is crocheted and is pretty easy though time consuming and it hurts my hands to make. When it's done I will post a picture for you all to see...
And as for cancer hats while I was at MGH yesterday (national cancer survivors day FYI) I learned that last year the cancer trees were taken down the earliest they have ever been taken down because there was less hats donated than any other year. So I am renewed in my efforts to make tons and tons of hats... When I finish I will take a picture of the mountain of hats I am sure it will be!
Have a great weekend everyone!

My interview
Question: What do you consider to be the most important quality in a person?
Hmmmmm that is a tie for me between honesty and kindness...
Question: What is the last thing you do before you got to bed at night?
Roll over and cuddle Jim - I can't fall asleep without laying on him
Question: Describe the perfect day.
Crafting with some friends in the day and then just hanging out with Jim and maybe playing games. That would be fun!
Question: Would you vote for a woman President?
Sure why not, if she was the best person for the job.
Here are the rules to post on your entry:
1. Leave me a comment saying "Interview me."
2. I will respond by emailing you four questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them four questions
As a side note I would like to let you all know that the shrimpies are very happy in their new home and show their happiness by amusing me all day long!
