68/365 2011 This Tool is Great

Today I spent about 45 minutes pulling weeds in the front yard. I am so happy to have inherited this handy dandy tool from Margaret because it helped me to get 2 full bags of weed in that time.

67/365 2011 Baby Stuff

One of the gals at the salon is having a baby next month. I started a granny blanket to give to her.

66/365 2011 Free Parking

That blue SUV belongs to a friend of Samantha. They stopped here before school to find out if she could park in the driveway since she didn’t have a pass to park in the school lot.

65/365 2011 Big Trash Pick Up Pile

Tomorrow is the scheduled big trash pick up for our neighborhood. Thank goodness we remembered today so Jason & Jacob were able to get our pile of dead tree limbs out to the curb.

64/365 2011 Mystery Day

Well, it was bound to happen…. a day where I didn’t take a photo and have no idea how to fake it. Today Jason went with a friend to help him buy his new computer parts, then after assembling said computer, he took his oldest daughter Samantha out for lunch. I hung out and crocheted.

63/365 2011 Good Company

I’ve got company as I read some blogs this morning. He really is such a needy cat.

62/365 2011 Commuting Really Sucks

I’m at 40th Street over I-10 waiting to turn onto the freeway to get into that LONG line of cars you can see there on the left. I had gotten on at Chandler and the only lane moving was the on/off lane so I exited and took surface streets to here. I really hate days like these.

61/365 2011 Jacob and his Tongue

This morning Jacob had his long awaited appointment with the Oral Surgeon to have the growth under his tongue removed. They’ve got him holding a wet teabag on the site to constrict the blood vessels. Apparently the tannic acid in tea does this very well. Wonder what it does to the inside of a bodies when people drink it?

60/365 2011 Finally Finished!

It only took me 2 months. I thought I’d better finish this hat since I have at least 4 other crochet projects going around here. Feels great to have another work in progress be a usable object.

59/365 2011 Time To Diet

It’s been over a year since I did the hcg diet, and had managed to keep the weight off pretty well. Unfortunately, after Halloween I began to be a very bad girl by eating all kinds of junk food. So it’s back on the diet for me. Here’s what’s for lunch (pre cooked).

58/365 2011 Crochet Japanese Flowers

Came across this great flower pattern on Attic24 blog and just had to try it out. I’d like to make a bed throw out of this pattern.

57/365 2011 Cats See Things

It’s late at night. I’m the last one awake. And I’m watching a show called My Ghost Story. I was feeling creeped out so scooted closer to Elvis to pet him. This woke him up and something grabbed his attention. He wouldn’t take his eyes off the area over the front door (by the chandelier). I had no luck distracting him & since he was freaking me out, I figured I’d see if my camera could see what had his attention so completely.

56/365 2011 Spots on Socks

I don’t have hiking shoes, so I have been wearing my running shoes when I hike (as I have noticed many others doing as well). My shoes have this cool venting in the soles so the dirt from the trail now decorates my socks.

55/365 2011 Should I Add It to My List?

I had a break at work so I walked over to Michael's Craft Store. While I was there I found a pattern for this sweet little crochet bag. I just might have to add it to my growing list of projects I want to make.
