Ducks VS Sponges

It's days like this that make me wish I had thicker skin. I have never been able to let things roll off my back; just absorb everything. Lately it's been worse. I'm not sure if it's all the infections/pain/bugs I've had, or my buffer is wearing thin again. Everything is upsetting me, but it seems like all the news heading my way is far from cheerful.

A woman in SC killed and drowned two of her children. I read a story about how the last/third killer of two teen girls was finally executed. His stay in prison was longer than one girl's whole time on Earth. Stories such as these make me long for Old Testament Eye for an Eye justice. Lock that woman in a car and toss it in a deep lake or river with no chance of escape. Rape, torture and leave the killers for dead.

I'm sick of reading about the evils humans do.

2010 is more than halfway over

So far I've made a few dresses, altered a few costumes for theater camp, made a ton of pickles and started p90x a few days ago.
Work's still good. Attitude's still good.
Hanging out with friends and family as often as I can squeeze in.
Major renovations on the yard.
Plans to hit CT this fall with the kids.
Took them upstate to see grandma already.

Losing and Finding Yourself

After too many health scares, my own and my loved ones; I've decided not to put off anything I want to do (within reason of course).
I am back sewing. I am back cooking. I am back tinkering with vintage sewing machine. I got my domain back. I'm going to rebuild my website. Maybe not commercially, but at least for fun and to document what's going on.
I've learned how to make jam. Next month is pickles!
Quilting is on the list. So is cake decorating.
And I'm going to balance it all with family, work and friends.

So much to say, never time to say it

Or at least remember to write it down.

I cannot believe it's been that many months since I wrote something. Spread too thin between facebook, livejournal, sewforum, needlebar....

Cranky Cats?

WTF McBush?

And McCain challenged Wallace’s assertion that Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin had become “a drag” on the GOP ticket.
“As a cold political calculation, I could not be more pleased,” McCain said, calling Palin “a direct counterpoint to the liberal feminist agenda for America” and asserting “she’s the best thing that could have happened to my campaign and to America.”

So what does that mean for Liberal Feminine Women????

Another Post for Obscurity

So blah, feeling my age, actually probably older. Sinus headache.
Due for a physical. Need those blobs near my eye checked, are they age spots or something bad?
Need to get serious about exercise. Already started eating right, but that's only half the equation. I know that. Have to make time for myself.
