Today is a play day!

I started out working and thought, nah. I have three swaps that I am finishing things for and wouldnt you know I am behind on getting two of them out! Bad Becca! I am on a mission to catch up. My biggest problem is I dont go for the fast easy stuff to make. I seem to have this addiction to the time consuming complicated. I wonder if there is a pill for this? I am LOVING this apron though and am going to be sad to see it go! I should of made two. Dont ya love what we woke up to this morning? It is very pretty but there was a hecka lot of it! Thank heavens wonderful hubby has a plow. It will be up to me to clean off the truck though. Well the kids I mean.Ü STILL no baby news! Favorite cousin is now 2 days over due. Tice is taking his sweet time in getting here. My kids were all early 2 weeks and 3 weeks. Well except for youngest daughter. She was 2 1/2 years! She always giggles when I tell her that.I have been carry my cell phone with me everywhere so I dont miss her call. Well i was goi...

Sleep

How in the world do I get wonderful hubby back on the right sleep schedule? You would think I have an infant again. Remember those days? I feel like the walking dead. The sleeping pill worked for one night but now we are back up until one or two. Poor guy. Poor me. I am so sleep deprived I cant seem to make any type of decision. I just go in my sewing room and stare. So of course I am behind and playing catch up. He is going to get turned back around just in time to go again. As promised here are a few more pictures from China. The first is a picture from Shenyang.From here he still had to drive almost 3 hours to get to Dandong( I think I spelled that wrong) which is right next to the N. Korean border. Shenyang is where the soccer games were for the olympics. This is a family greenhouse. I posted this one for you Jan! At night they roll the corn husks back down over the plastic. Since their weather is much like ours they have to have greenhouses or starve. This was the view from Hubbys...

My 6 randon things. 1.I was not allowed to cut my hair until I was 18.No religous reasons just my parents rule. My hair was so long it went to the back of my knees. After I cut it my mom cried. Then I cried! 2. I have to have our movies organized in alphabetical order.I will spend hours fixing them because my children love to put them away randomly. 3.When I buy thi...

Here are a couple photos I snagged off of Wonderful hubbys camera card. I will share more later. These two are dishes that were being served at one of the restraunts he went to. The first dish is silk worm Larvaa. He really wasnt kidding! The second is live frog. Yup you heard right LIVE frog! They will of course kill it and cook it for you. I asked how they will cook it and he said he didnt ask.Lol He took a LOT of pictures of food. He also came back hungry.He was very impressed with how they took care of him. He said they really jumped at taking care of anything he wanted. I am happy he is home but let him know that is NOT happening here! Lol. We had chinese for dinner last night. Hahah. Good old not authentic american chinese food. I also have pictures to share from the Great Wall and of Korea. I will share those tomorrow. Right now I am soooooo tired.

Guess Who Comes Home

At about 7 p.m. today??? Well technically its tomorrow but but it seven minutes it will be tonight.Do I sound excited? I really really am. Ü. I have been a good girl. It wasnt easy but I have. The Bridal shower was a HUGE success. I am so happy. I am exhausted, sore, have a headache, but am very very happy. I loved being able to do it. What a wonderful thing to be a part of. The beginning of a new marriage. Do you remember the fun and exciting times you had in the beginning. Almost 21 years ago for wonderful hubby and I but what a wonderful time.I wish I could go to the wedding. But I am oh so happy to be a part now. Ahhh for now I am going to bed. Tomorrow I will watch the clock and patiently wait.ok not so patiently.

Jan Started a Trend

Except my furry isnt big enough for slippers. Instead she opts for speed control! It really is a pain in the butt when she wont let me move my foot though. Good news is that I have my mojo back! I got a lot done today and I didnt even start until noon.I started off like this. Pretty soon it looked like this. But by the end of the day I had 14 new pillowcases and a table runner. The pillow cases are for an upcoming mock slumber party for the youngest. The table runner is an easy peasy one for the bridal shower this Wed. I have a couple more to make. Its all about presentation in this house! Ü Just kidding. But since I am going with the simple approach I had to decorate with something. I do not belive in streamers and most everything else I could find on Sunday was well, tacky. So I will take pics after I am all done of those. This is my reward for the end of the day! I have to share a portion of the email I got from Wonderful hubby. It had me laughing all day! Lovely B, I ate some sil...
