Can You Say Clutz????

I am the queen of Clutz Land! I managed on Monday morning, while drying my hair, to bonk myself in the eye with of all things, my hairbrush. To reward myself for this graceful action, I came away with an all expense paid trip to the eye doctor, a swollen eyelid, and an abrasion on my cornea. He examined my eye and dilated my pupil. Gave me some antibiotic drops and sent me on my way to return the next day for a re-check. Well, well, imagine my shock when I got out of bed on Tuesday, alas, my eye did feel better, only to look in the mirror to find my pupil fully dilated STILL! I am some freak of nature that two full days after my pupil was dilated, it is still huge! It is beginning to come down, thank heavens! Phew............now that is off my chest.

Prior to my poetry in motion incident drying my hair, I did manage to start a project the end of last week. SHHHHHH! I can't say what it is............she might be reading. I can't wait till I can see clearly enough to pick it back up again.

Mother's Day was rather quiet in my house. I got what I wanted .......an MP3 player, now I don't have to swipe my kids when I go for a walk! Played with it on Mother's day and did manage to load about 400 songs on it. That should keep me busy for a while!

This past weekend was the Relay for Life, which is an American Cancer Society all night walk-a-thon at the local high school's track. This was the second year I participated in it. It is a great time for an equally great cause! Our team raised almost $5,000 YEA!

That is about it, didn't want you to think I fell off the BLOG planet. Can't wait to be able to see well enough to start stitching, hopefully by the end of the week! YIPPIE!!!!

Can You Stand Some Bragging???

I've truly been a slug with posting!! I guess because there is not any new stitching to report. So I'll show off a couple pictures of my family. Here are the two loves of my life.Image Hosted by ImageShack.us Andrew is 14 1/2 and the little guy, Ryan will be 11 in a few days. They make me laugh, very proud, sometimes annoyed, and incredibly busy. Andrew has turned out to be my clone in so many ways. Personality, absolutely looks, and there is no doubt, his sense of humor. Ryan does resemble me more than my husband, but you really don't look at him and think gee, he looks like his mom. He has some of what I consider my worst personality traits, he is incredibly stubborn! Not sure where he gets this, but he sees things as very black and white. One of the best ways to describe him is "no grey", which we say often. But he is also kind and loving, will defend his friends to the end, and no one gives hugs like him!!

Here is my furry little boy, Fenway Image Hosted by ImageShack.us I grew up my whole life with many animals, and many dogs. He has to be one of the best I've every had. He's a big teddy bear, who loves to snuggle up to you!

I consider myself very blessed with my family, my "sister" Cathy who is absolutely my family!! Great people who I have the privilege to call my friends, you know who you are!!!

I am hoping to get my act in gear this weekend and pick up some stitching!!! I will be hosting an open house tomorrow at house in Union Beach NJ, anyone looking for some beach area property in NJ?????? I am hoping I might be able to do some there if it isn't too busy. It is suppose to be a glorious weekend here weather wise, minus the bugs, and the mass quantities of pollen (yuck, we are all suffering in my house). Wishing you all a great weekend!
