Just shoot me ....why don't you!

One of the things I have become very good at is never completely finishing anything I do.  I guess I must look at it as "insurance" as in that I am "needed" to finish whatever it may be!

Anyhoo I had not completely finished decorating the christmas tree..........my excuse was I couldn't decide whether or not to put on garland or maybe drape ribbons on it so consequently I left it until I could decide(that's my excuse & I'm sticking to it).

Yesterday I had a revelation as to how I wanted to do it & off I went to Michaels.  I am very "anal" about always locking my car & also about putting the keys in my right pocket of whatever I'm wearing.  I wandered around the store for about an hour & collected up all the components I needed to finish the tree & also could not resist going thru the yarn dept only to find there's a sale so I'm totally "psyched" because I got the perfect yarn for some projects I had in mind.  I check out & am carrying my 3 bags of "loot" which I proceed to throw into the passenger seat. I was totally "not in the moment" because I thinking about "stuff" I'm going to make. 

I go to put the keys in the ignition only to discover I have NO KEYS!!!   Part of being anal is when I'm leaving a store I fish out the keys & hook them over my finger so I can hit the button to unlock the car without having to put down whatever I'm carrying!  Now I am sitting in my car & don't even remember unlocking the freekin car cus I was so busy gloating over my bags of loot!!  I tore my purse apart,  I checked every place in the car, on the floor, under the seats....NO KEYS!  I then get out of the car & crawl around on the wet ground looking under the car, walk all the way back to the store....NO KEYS!

Now I'm getting frantic as I don't even know where my spare key to the car is,  so I go back to the car & tear everything apart again including the bags of "loot".  I had bought glittery ribbon &  dried german statice which is now all over the front seat of my car.....it looked like a bomb of glitter & fluff went off.  After searching the bags 3 times I found the keys tangled up in the yarn!

Now 20 mins  & a complete meltdown later I drive home!

I you need me I'll be laying on the couch sucking my thumb!

Love

Designer "doggy uggs"

Poor Molly has been having a hard time already this winter with the snow. She has good size pads on her feet which are "webbed" like a lab's foot.  When she goes in the snow it builds up in between her pads & forms a hard piece of almost ice-like snow.  Then she holds her foot up for someone to pull it out.  I decided to make her her own boots. Jessica had spent the night here as we went to First night for new years....more on that later.....so we "googled" how to make dog boots & then modified it to work for Molly.  Keep in mind these were boots you could make in 10 minutes.  It took approx 10 mins to measure Molly's feet.  Two hours later here's the results I did decide to make her 2 for each foot figuring she would be like any typical kid & lose a couple here & there. We had to go to W*lmart in the middle of the project to get velcro to make the fasteners.  We then made her wear them around the house for a while ...

Sewing, weaving & emptying the waterbed

 Monday morning began bright & early as we needed to finish emptying our bedroom.  Mark was dropping LiLi off before 8:00am as she does not have school this week.  We needed to drain the waterbed before we could take it apart.  As usual we were having no luck getting the water to siphon out & even resorted to having LiLi (all 35lbs of her) sitting on it with us!!  It probably took over an hour & who knows how many tries before it worked.  Got the mattress out & discovered the decking was falling apart.....good thing we decided to do this project,,,,I was able to find a local place so we can just replace it & to be safe I also got a new safety liner & heater.  I don't want to be doing this again for a while!  While Popster worked on replacing the baseboard & window trim in those two rooms LiLi & I started working on this doll kit she had gotten for her birthday.  All the pieces needed to be sewn togeth...

Happy "13th" Birthday Liza

Today is Liza's 13th birthday(that is 91 in people years). We are just amazed that she not only is still with us, after being told 18 months ago she wouldn't live 6 months but that weather permitting she still walks 2 miles every morning & another 2 in the afternoon! Check out the slide show.......her friend Lucy came over tonight & they each had a donut w/frosting & sprinkles along with ice cream. It was just too funny as neither one of them can see worth a damn but they knew they were getting something good! Lucy had hers gone in 2 bites but Liza went for the ice cream first & then took her time licking off the frosting!
