Ok so, I feel better. Significantly better actually. I dosed heavily on Nyquil, water and um poptarts. I had some Dew, but I behaved well and vegged out to movies 99% of the time. God knows day time telly sucks donkey balls. I watched the last 2 installments of Harry Potter, Emma (squee), Anchorman (Legend of Ron Burgandy) and several others this week. I’m a bit of a movie fan, can you tell? DVDs, along with music, are my passion. The more I have, the happier I am. Did I mention that I have movies on my Amazon Wishlist? ~.^

So yeah I’m feeling 1000% better then I did Monday (Deb can testify so can S) and I don’t feel like death anymore. Now I just have a small lingering cough and a few sniffles from time to time.

I spent most of my time (besides watching the aforementioned movies) stitching. I had a freebie from a local store that they kitted with the needed threads/beads and I finally tackled it this week. I’ve had it for like….. 6 yrs. Srsly.

It’s not quite finished yet but I’m terribly proud of it. Yes I know the initials aren’t correct. My maiden name starts with an S and I chose to use that…. personal reasons and all. I’ll repost when it’s completed.

Things at home aren’t much changed. We co-exist quietly and maintain what is seemingly a better relationship in front of the kids. At night when we are alone, we are mellow and relaxed but it’s plainly obvious we aren’t on the same page. When it’s time for bed, there is no exchanging kisses or hugs, we just change, brush our teeth and make sure the bed is tidy and climb in. I sleep in clothes and he of course sleeps naked. We don’t say much but just “good night” and then turn and go to sleep. It’s not easy to live this way. I mean, I don’t enjoy it. It’s awkward and I know it won’t ever be what it should be.  It never was what it should be. The whole thing is just .. not right. But we make due and we cope daily and do our best to be supportive and kind to one another. He’s a great guy, really. But … yeah.

So for now I think I’m going to go finish my Scarab Monogram. I have my show tomorrow and then I am taking the afternoon off to spend time elsewhere. Monday I am going job hunting (locally). Lauren’s final game for the regular season is Saturday and then we look to playoffs and doing more cheer. We have the cheer banquet coming up and oh yes the lovely field trip I was told I am chaperoning for but it’s to a rather awesome place so expect a shit ton of pictures from that little experience. In the mean time I will be scanning a crap load of patterns for Deb. Between her and the freebies from places like InkCircles (etc) I have more patterns then I will EVER stitch in the next 20 lifetimes. God I love her.

So yeah, I’m going to go. I want to read up on possibly… sewing … a few things for myself and stuff. Yep I am getting domestic. Scary shit eh?

So it’s offical. I am part of the “over” of 35 & over. 35 has come and gone and I find myself moving on and I don’t mind. It didn’t even bother me. I was barely phased by the change.

I was thoroughly spoiled this year. I was treated to dinner at a local place I love, Big T. I gorged myself on a cajun chicken wrap, fries and a German beer. Dessert was the “Ultimate Blond Brownie”. Lord, I was going to go into sugar overload. It was fabulous. I got a couple of roses as well.

Now, I’ve mentioned my Nintendo DS before. That was supposed to be my gift from Shawn and the kids this year, so I didn’t expect anything else. But I was treated to a trip to Stitching Bits & Bobs. I got to meet Bobbie and her husband. Deb and I ordered from them so much when I was in Livonia and she didn’t even have the store front then. Now, she does and I was in HEAVEN walking through there.

Deb also decided to spoil me a WEE bit. She got me the ONE thing stitching wise that I desperately needed.

Yeah those are GINGHER scissors! OMG I drooled!

Plus she got me the pattern and SILK threads needed to make the matching scissor pouch. The green fabric up top in the SB&B shot is for this project.

Then I got a box from Amazon. I have a wish list set up there and very few know about it. So unbeknownst to me, someone decided to shop from it and get me a few things.

I got 2 movies from my list, a game for my DS and 3 books. The 3rd is on order and will show up seperately. My dear S (yes the same that just had surgery) was the one that decided to do this for me. Not thinking of themselves, my birthday came to become very important and low and behold, I got goodies.

I’ve had the most remarkable weekend. I was able to relax, stitch, eat a great meal, watch my lovely daughter cheer and spend time with my family. I felt loved, completely and utterly loved, almost beyond words and thoughts.

What more could a girl ask for?

C’mon who else do you read that finds shit like me?

NO ONE! thats who. I post the best shared links you’ll find, that is if you like strange shit that no one else posts.

Enjoy this lil video clip.
