My dryer is broken.....

it must be. I mean, the knobs all turn, and when I turn the knobs it comes on, but....for some reason or another that I can't put my finger on, the clothes are coming out SMALLER???? What's up with that??? Hmmm...I'll have to think on this one for a little bit. It's only happening to MY clothes, too. It's a conspiracy, I tell ya!

This just cracks me up - literally. My hair dresser who is also a good friend, does my hair from her home. Today was my day to "wash away the gray" and get a trim. Well, let's just say that she is just about the cutest thing ever, and looks like she's about 25, literally. I mean, she's nearly 50, probably doesn't weigh 110 pounds soaking wet, and that would be stretching it, still can and DOES where a bikini (I've never had one on my body, nor will I ever) and actually looks GOOD in it, has perfect hair and makeup all the time...you get my drift? I. HATE. HER. Well, not really, of course. We're sitting there waiting for the gray to wash away, and she says, "Do you mind if I have my lunch while we are waiting?". I knew what was coming. We've been down this road before. I said, "No problem, go for it." She pulls out some kind of FUNKY diet protein drink. YUK I'm sitting there with my non-diet, once a day MEGA COKE from Dairy Bar (think Abby on NCIS!). She SAYS she needs to lose a half a pound... And she does/goes to Weight Watchers. I bet they hate her. LOL "Uhm, yes team Weight Watcher leader. I'm here because I need to lose a half a pound. Can you help me, please???" Everybody is probably GLARING AT HER. Well, anyway, I guess my dryer isn't broken after all. By the way, I told her I was going to blog about her. LOL

Now, on to stitching. I ALMOST have a finish and hope to share it with you in a few days. I also have some new stash to share, but didn't take a picture today and it's too late now for good lighting. AND, a good friend and my son talked me into getting out more so I signed up for two quilting classes today. woohooo.... So maybe soon I will have some quilty finishes to show you, too. Oh yeah, I have to actually GO to those classes, don't I? hmmm.... Well, we shall see. I mean, if I GO, who's going to tend to my Facebook farms? My squash might rot. LOL Oh my, if you have NOT starting farming, DO. NOT. DO. IT. It's an addiction, believe me. My farm is perfectly organized, but my house is a sty. I guess the priorities are a bit jumbled right now. Actually, it's been good therapy for me to point and click these last few months, but now it's time to move on. It's taking too much time, with nothing to show for it. It's not like we can actually EAT that stuff.

ANYway, that's all for tonight. And just so you know, I really love my beautician. I just love to give her a hard time. ggrrrr.... LOL
I love y'all and love it when you let me know you've been here. Be on the look out for another giveaway soon. :)

I wish you enough...

Hugs and love,
Carolyn :)

Happy New Year and Happy Birthday to me...

Another birthday today. I can't believe it's already time for another one. It seems it was just last year. Oh, where does the time go? Thank all of you for your sweet emails, cards, and well wishes and for your beautiful gift, Chris. I do appreciate them so much!

This past year was so hard...I'm really glad it's over with. I've been sick for the last 2 months and can't seem to shake this cold or flu or whatever it is. My Christmas decorations are still up (that is SOOOOO not me!) and everything is a mess around here. I don't even care. Family is so important, and not having mine to celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's, birthday, etc., makes it not fun at all. If you are blessed enough to have them around, enjoy them as much as you can. I'm just thankful that I've had friends that have kept in touch with me during this difficult time. You'll never know how much it's helped, and it really shows who your true friends are. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I'll write more later. Just wanted to say Happy New Year to those of you who still visit. I appreciate you very much and hope to be back to my old self soon.

I wish you enough....

Love,
Carolyn
