LAP TOP FIASCO
WEll, we finally got hubby his
lap top!!! YAY! Sounds good right......
Sure it is! lol

We went to FRYS in Arlington.......
picked one out, and drove the hour
(almost) home...........
Then realized it was refurbished.
So, drove all the way back, and they
were rude, so we got our money back.

Then drove another 30 minutes, and went
to Comp USA.............who were wonderful!!
Thank you Chas for all of your help!!

So, we have the lap top....and its amazing!!!
I got it all set up for him last night, and
this morning he left to go out of town.
HE TOOK THE BLASTED THING WITH HIM.....
AND I WANT IT!!!!!! LOL
I really like it........I have never used one before.

Ok, so I know what I want for Christmas! PLUS a
digicam.

I think I've been good enough this year! hahahhaha!!!

But, all kidding aside. I'm so glad he got his LapTop!!
He never buys anything for himself, and he works so
hard. He definitely deserves it. He has not complained
YET about my yarnaholism. He did recently say
something about my WIPS. I thought.....and now it b
egins!!! lol

I tried to explain to him, that as crocheters, we
tend to do this. I know that some of you are better
than others. ( I'm terrible!) But, we always tend to
have some WIPS. It's just a part of the
whole crochet craziness!

On another note!
Miranda just showed me this great
English Tea Store. Take it from me,
the prices are sooooo good, and shipping
is very good!

THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will be adding this link to my links shortly!
Ok, I'm heading off now, I hope you guys are
having a great weekend! Take Care!

~My Trip To OK~
I must be crazy...........
I stayed up all night on Tuesday, 5 30am Wednesday, left my house for a drive to OK city.
I got their at 9am.
We visited my brother and his family. It was a wonderful visit! WE swam, and played, and talked
forever! I didn't go to bed until 5am Thursday morning.........As I said, I must be crazy!!!!
It was all very worth it! The drive was nice, the scenery beautiful! The company lovely!

Now, I was planning on leaving Wednesday night, but just couldn't leave, lol!!
I did leave Thursday night at 1030pm, and got home at 2am.
By 3 am I was out cold.

I think I'm still recovering!! hahahahhah

With all of that said, I will be driving back up there! SOON!!

Now, I'm trying to to figure out how to be in Kansas (centerville) by the 14th,
have the puppies cared for, and be back on the 15th. (girls start school on the 16th)
I just hate the idea of driving over 8 hours, for such a short time. BUT, I really want
to see my nephews calf in the fair!!!!! Hmmmmm...what to do, and how to do it.

Now, while I'm that close to a friend ( she's only 3 hrs away from where I need to be in Kansas)
I would love to meet up with her. 3 hours........hmmmmm.........If I go all that way,
I have to add that in to the mix. ( I would be crazy not to!!)
I have met her online, and she's the greatest! Now, any ideas.........I really need them.

Oh boy, If hubby could come with us, I could drop them off, go have lunch with her,
and still have plenty of time with the family!

Oh well, I guess I need to figure it out sooooooon! I'm running out of time, lol!

Ohhhhh, and little brother wants me to stop by on the drive up.............
I want to do that toooo...............OHHHHHHHHHHH BOYYYYYYYYYY
this will be a fun trip if it works out, lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~I have some great friends!~
WOW! I have some wonderful freinds!!!!

Last week, I, no, scratch that, my girls, received 2 big boxes in the mail.
They were sooooo suprised!!! They received a scrapbook photo album each,
a knifty knitter, a twister key chain set, and a bunch of yarn!!!!

I love you guys for doing this! You will never know how much this means
to me that you thought of them.
You guys are the best! I am forever greatful that I have met you.
Forever blessed just because you are in my life.
If only you could have seen their faces when they opened the boxes!!!

THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~Change of Plans~
First off, I want to thank all of you crocheters
out there! I have gotten to learn some nifty
little tricks, and really expanded my crochet
knowledge. To all of you who post your patterns,
and share your excitement, and just share your
love of crochet...THANK YOU!!


WE have a Square~A~Month swap going on at the
'Mania. Miranda had wanted to participate, but it
had already started. So, instead of waiting for 11
more swappers, we started swapping with each
other.

Well, we had a swapper that had to drop out due
to circumstances out of her control :(.
Soooo, 2 fellow Maniacs swooped in to save the
day! Thanx Kathy and Miranda!

So, now we are both in the main S~A~M, and also
have our side swap going on. We were chatting the
night and have decided to just re-start our swap.
lol!!! We both have chosen some colors, and are
starting over!

I chose (with her help, lol) Drews Monet Afghan.
Now, His is absolutely beautiful! I hope I can
give it the justice it deserves. I am using Carons
Simply Soft in Autumn Red and Bone. (so not
actually Monet anymore, lol) Now, instead of
using one strand, I'm using 2.
I will post pics when its completed and she has it!
I'm thinking this may take a while............

Crochet Facts & Funnies

~Crochet Is Better Than~
Better Than...by Cindy Long
Crochet is better than fishing because the hooks don’t require lures, are way less painful, and best yet, no worms!
Crochet is better than baking because it’s no-carb and no-calories, and you never have to worry about running out of eggs.
Crochet is better than gardening because you can design your own flowers, they never die in winter, and again, no worms.
Crochet is better than NASCAR because drivers complete a lap again and again, while crocheters just complete a lapghan.
Crochet is better than football because you get more than four tries to complete the yardage, and tight end means your work won’t come undone.
Crochet is better than jogging because, well actually, everything is better than jogging.
Crochet is better than a novel because if you don’t like the way it turns out, you can go back and change it.
Crochet is better than tennis because you don’t have to worry about how you look in tight sportswear. But you do have to worry how you’ll look in a sweater crocheted to the wrong gauge.
Crochet is better than collecting stamps in a book because you can assemble little squares together to make a whole collection. Actually, I suppose that makes it exactly like stamp collecting.
Crochet is better than model trains because gauge can be different for every object.
Crochet is better than cake decorating because you don’t have to worry if your lovely finished project tastes good, too.
Crochet is better than computers because it’s easy to save your work, there are no fatal errors, and once again, no worms!
