Ummmm 2012?

I CANNOT believe it has been a month since I last posted!  OK, December was seriously a blur!  On top of that we have been without Internet for about two weeks.  Count them......1.....2......WEEKS!

I have been going BANANAS!

Especially since I just bought myself a NOOK and need WIFI to use it properly. 

I love my NOOK, and I am so glad I bought it.  I have read 3 books on it already since I bought it (just before Christmas).

I am also addicted to the WORDS with friends game.  I have 4 scrabble games going already and it is TOTALLY addicting!  I do REALLY suck at scrabble though.  So I am currently loosing all of the games.  I'm not worried though, I get a little better everyday.

There are also some pretty cool interactive kids books that I can put on them for Hailey.  She loves it too.

Not that she reads Spider Man, but the option is there.

We can also watch movies on it from our Netflix account. Or I can watch all my FOX shows that I miss because our satellite dish company does not carry the FOX station (boooooooo! Hisss!).

It's a little more spendy than the Kindle Fire, but I find it worth every penny.

So I hope you all got everything you wanted for Christmas and more!  I hope you all had a fun and SAFE New Year also.

PS.  Barnes & Noble does not know I exist (with the exception of their purchasing department, technically they do not know me, just my card number).  This is NOT a paid advertisement, I just like this product and thought I would share.

Lazy snow day......

It's snowing today.  Light and lazy, with wind.  Yesterday was warm sunny and beautiful.

Winter has finally set in over here in eastern Montana, not that I wwas rooting for it or anything.

I wasn't.  We had freezing rain first last week so things are a little slick under the snow here.

I'm hoping next week to go get our Christmas tree and decorate.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend.  We did, it was nice that the weather held long enough for family to come over.

Missing the kiddos, OK, so maybe they aren't "kiddos" anymore.  My two stepkids are busy, busy, busy in their "grown-up" lives.

Hope everyone is staying warm and enjoying their time with family this holiday season!

Dreaming of spring already.......

Ughhhh

It has been crazy around here.  We made our last trip to Minnesota for our stuff, over the weekend, 800 miles one way.  Got back at 10:30 at night Sunday.  Back to work Monday morning, and then it was Thanksgiving and the Christmas walk with the parade of lights, and back to work.

I'm sick today, stupid cold.

Here is a sunset picture taken somewhere in North Dakota on I90.  We were so close to home we could taste it!

See you soon!

The Weekend Blogger......

Have I become a weekend blogger?  Is that what my world has come to?  Why yes, dear, yes it has.  Poop!  Poop, I say, Poop!

Oh, hello!

Yes I am putting up a post.  I should be sleeping since I will have to get up at 3am tomorrow morning.  It is now 9:56pm here.  Instead, here I am blogging, feeling guilty for somehow turning into the weekend blogger. 

There has just been so much going on and between all the activity and my falling asleep on the couch at about 9:30pm anymore, well, time flies.

The kitten is getting large.

She's still cute as a button.  Now she has her preteen attitude and she's thinning out.

This is one of her favorite spots, the green blanket on the back of the couch.  (That's fabric and batting on the end table behind her!)

Have a good one!

A Quicky...

A QUILTING quicky that is.

I made this quilt for a gal in our office who just had a little baby boy about 3 months ago. 

I gave this to her about three weeks ago.

I know, I'm so far behind.

I quilted it on my machine.  The first time I've done that really.  Not the greatest job in the world, but OK.

You can't see it, but I quilted the words "Choo Choo" all in the border.  I love striped binding cut on the byass.

Flannel backing of course for this winter.  Liz said she is going to use it in his crib.

This was fun and easy.  Just a cute, fun pattern that I threw a border on.

As my daughter would say: "Easy peasy, Mac and cheesy!"
