We took Alex to the airport this morning. I cried all the way home except for the part where i fell asleep. I wont see him again untill may or june when he graduates and we go out there to visit him. this is too much for me, but it is what is best for him.
It is freezing freaking cold here right now. we have a cold front blowing in, that usually means its from Alaska, so it is really cold. Its also raining here, which means it will have lots of snow in the mountains. good for those that like to slide down the hill with long peices of wood strapped to their feet. That just isnt my idea of a good time.
I think quite literally a lot of the time. I will hear something, and start giggling to myself, trying to contain the laugh so no one will think i am just a little bonkers. What I mean by literal thinking is, well, exactly what the words are that are said. Every time I go to the airport, it makes me laugh. As soon as i hear that soft voice announce us to keep control of our bags, I picture the carry on bags people have with them, trying to sneak away from their owners and hang out with a stranger. Or maybe just roll around by themselves until someone grabs them. I wonder who is the person that is going to ask you to hold onto their bags, or ask if they can watch yours for a while. I wonder these things when I hear some of the stuff we have streaming at us all the time. My son thinks I am over the edge, I am sure, until he does it back to me, and catches me off guard and we both get laughing.
I finished a small lap quilt yesterday. I have had the front of two quilts done for quite some time, but due to the sewing machine issue, I wasnt able to finish them. I went friday morning and bought 5 different pieces of fabric, each 4 yards for the backs. I will finish the other one I have ready to put a back on and get started on another one. On the edge, which is called the binding, i do the wrap around method. You are supposed to sew this part by hand, but i dont cus my hands go numb. I felt a little creative yesterday, so I put a different stitch from the many on each side of the quilt. I like the way it turned out, but probably wont do that again. I will just pick a stitch and use it all the way around. I will get some pics of the quilt and put it on my slide show, picture thingy/cant remember the name right now. by the way, does anyone know how to change the front pics on that? Im getting a littel tired of the dolls buts showing.
I had to work wednesday night into thursday and also friday night for two hours. that really blew my three day weekend away. I had a good weekend though, Alex was here and i got to see his face. that made me happy. OK, that it for now. I dont have anything else to say. You all have a good week.
