A Me Day

So I was only back to work two days after the holiday and needed to call out today. I was basically told on Tuesday that today I would put in the position of pretty much doing someones elses job and be made to look like a fool because they didn't want to deal with it. I wasnt much interested in "taking one for the team" so I did something I rarely do, and called out for no good reason.

I spent the day straightening up my house and sitting on my couch watching Breaking Bad on Netflix. I did some stitching, but nothing close to a marathon and that's okay with me. It was a good day.

Jobs are stupid.

Catch Up Time and TUSAL

Sigh, well that was fun.

Well, not as much as I thought it would be. How could I have five days off work and feel completely exhausted and unaccomplished at the end of it?!?! Oh well, stuff happens!

I got alittle bit of stitching done and here is thia months TUSAL jar!

Weekend Geeking Out

Super busy weekend. Hopefully, this weekend, my couch and butt will become familiar with each other once again.

Friday night, my friend and I enjoyed going to the movies to see Breaking Dawn. Lots of fun, and I just HAD to have a souvenir bucket and cup!! Yes, I totally geeked out when I saw them.

I also finally got to see the new releases from Plum Street Samplers! Looove! Definitely going on the wish list!

Its a short work week for me this week, I'm so excited to spend some time at home!

Waiting...Not My Thing

Waiting is so not my thing lately.

Waiting for the weekend, waiting for packages to come in the mail. Waiting for Breaking Dawn. Waiting for that sneaky Paulette to show us the rest of those sneak peeks of her new designs!

And for some reason I haven't yet gotten it together enough to post pics of all my goodies from the retreat. They are coming though!

Not much else is going on this week. Just chugging along, as always. Tomorrow night is girls night! Going with my best gf to see the movie and then I'm ready to relax this weekend. Only two work days next week!

A Great Time!

I got home from the retreat in Laurel, Md on Sunday. It was nice that it only took an hour to get home!

Danielle and I had a great time!! We got to meet some nice ladies, do some shopping, and see the amazing work at the Montpelier Mansion.

We arrived Friday afternoon and got to get straight to stitching! The hard working organizers of the retreat gifted us with some great goodie bags and door prizes. There was also a yummy dinner provided Friday and Saturday night, along with drinks and snacks available throughout the day.

The stitching lounge closed at 11 pm so we got a nice ten hours of stitching Friday night and enjoyed some tv in our room later. Saturday, we had all day to stitch from 8am to 11 pm so except for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a trip to the mansion....we stitched. It was great!!

I worked mainly on two big projects. Growing like a tree sampler by moira blackburn and a sweeter love by plum street samplers. I got a very good start on growing and after I had burned out on sweeter love a few months ago, Saturday I was able to get back into it and made a lot of progress.

Danielle and I were so excited about our progress on Saturday that after the lounge closed at 11 that night, we went back to our room to continue stitching while watching Saturday Night Live!

I took off work yesterday, so after a busy weekend stitching, I got to enjoy a day at home. Since I had the bug, I did more work on sweeter love! I decided to change the hair color on the lady. It is charted for a brownish red, but since its for Matt and myself, I decided to change the color to closer match my own hair.

Now its back to real life, counting down to the next long weekend!
