new blogs and stuff

I am lazy-bloglines is a great idea...but there is something about hopping through the ring - or wandering where links may take you that appeal more to me than being efficient with reading blogs. I finally caught all the new blogs...and enjoy the diversity of all our ring members...hurray for quilters!

No quilting going on this week-there is an end in sight on the backyard front however. I think one more stint of digging up pavers is left, hauling the stacked ones will take much longer however-around to the front where they are being pressure washed.
The weather has cooled off which is nice. Today is jeans day at work-nice to be so casual and nice that I have no stress or long hours to put in! I am making decent progress and my boss and I are happy with my work. I am going to use my lunch time to drive over to my dil's and drop off a dinner meal I cooked extra of last night. It's my son's all time favorite of mine-and requested when I asked him what he wanted. His wife's parents had dropped off her favorite that day, so it seemed only fair to step up and make sure he was taken care of as well. (It was something he won't eat :-) , Korean soup) I am trying to not fret too much about seeing so little of the baby, as it seems more important that the new family have their bonding time on their own. Tomorrow is the big Sisters Quilt Show...we may drive up, we may not, depending on the weather. I refuse to go if it is too hot-as the town is tiny and not great at dealing with the 10,000+ crowd that usually engulfs them at this time of year. It's a fantastic show, but, the crowd factor is intense! We have gone many times...and I already have the tee shirt LOL...so it's not on my must do every year list. This year the tee shirt has a new artist's work, and features a cat...really a great shirt! I am having trouble getting their link up...sorry!

Hope to finally get back to my machine tonight and over the weekend. Patti has made me feel guilty and motivated about my scrap bin cutting...apparently putting it on my goal list has just NOT been enough!
