49!

Now how the hell did that happen? I just turned 49! I know alot of people lie about their age, but I figure I'd rather have them say I look great for 49 than I look old for 39. I felt loved all the people I heard from yesterday. Many birthday wishes, thanks to all. Mom asked about the weather - yes, it was a stormy winter day just like when I was born all those years ago.

Highlights of the day were:
1. Jamie and Adam - thanks for making me dinner and bringing cake. Derek - I had your piece of cake for breakfast this morning!
2. Derek - phoned and sang Happy Birthday. We had a nice visit, and he's having a great time in the UK. Today Scotland, Saturday Ireland.

Now watch out 50 - let the planning begin

In a word...

Exhaustion. Need I say more?


Big changes coming, and it's a good thing - onward and upward with my health, Here's to feeling great by the summer!

Countdown

Two more sleeps. Then Derek leaves for Europe for 12 weeks. What a trip it will be!
I have gained for his trip as well. My basement is full of the makings of his entire apartment, and my guest room is full of... well, Derek!

England, Ireland, Scotland, Italy, Germany, France... and the list goes on. I am looking forward to the many pictures and updates - I'll be following his Blog "Backpack and an iPod" regularly.

Chilly Charmers

I got all the applique pieces traced for the blocks I have so far. Next step cutting out all those little pieces of fabric and doing the assembly. That's the fun part!

Also done in The Creative Zone today - birthday cards for Dad and Kari, and five miscellaneous cards for stock. I'm going to cut out some vinyl lettering today on Cricut for the first time. Kari wants "Believe" so I'll send it to her for her birthday. And I'll do some of the creative words I want for The Creative Zone.
