Tuesday Tumblings

It's been a crazy crazy day and until about 5 this afternoon I was missing my laptop.  It spent the night at the genius bar repair center at the Apple store and today it is humming along with a new hard drive and new track pad.   Send the money for the Apple Care Protection Plan, that's all I have to say about that!

Let's do this today in a list form and I have no pics of my own.
(See above paragraph regarding laptop)

1) College Football was back this past Saturday.  This is how I feel about that:

Happiness squared

2) I'm finally having a much needed surgery on Friday and I get to have it done at the fancy new hospital.   

Looks more like a hotel lobby than a hospital.  I may not want to leave after 24 hours. 

I may or may not already have my bag packed and my nightstand ready for my arrival home complete with a notepad to record my medications.  Can we say OCD?  Or maybe I'm just trying not to OD.

3)  In case you want to give an annoying telemarketer my number these are things I DO NOT need:  prescription drugs from someone who speaks broken english, don't have a timeshare to sell, do not need screens for my windows,  my carpets were just cleaned, if you are a politician and you call me, I will not vote for you and most of all another call for someone looking for Barbara.  I don't know who Barbara is but she apparently never paid a bill in her life.   I got 3 calls today and I almost yelled at the poor guy from Apple calling to tell me my computer was ready.

4)  It is HOT people , just freaking Hot.

I realize in January I will be complaining about the cold and how I long for summer but really I just long for a day when it's not 95 degrees at 10:00 p.m.

5) Back to the OCD things, I will be shopping after Craft Day tomorrow so I can start prepping and precooking some things to cover us for dinner the next week.   Goodness knows I don't want my husband thinking Shrimp Creole sounds like a good idea even though I love his shrimp creole.  (Do not need house smelling like a fish market).

6) Hubster had a head cold over the weekend and he just was kind of in the mood to lay around the house and do nothing.  Fortunately we got some much needed rain Sunday night/ Monday and we watched movies.  Bad movies, not intentionally but before you decide to watch the Phil Spector movie on HBO, Cloud Atlas or At Any Price give me a yell.   At Any Price starred Dennis Quaid, Zac Effron and Heather Graham and the consensus we all had when it was over was  WTH?? was there a point??

7)   I can't use the vacuum cleaner for 6 weeks...this could kill me.  BUT I can use this and yes, I asked.

Please accept my sincere apologies for how my house will look for the next 6 weeks.

8) I will be here in 37 days, not that I'm counting.

See you tomorrow for Craft Wednesday!!!

Peace, Love & Yummies!!

Craft Wednesday

Yea, Girl not cray cray she knows it's Thursday!
Buuuuutt yesterday was Wednesday and LL and I finally got back to crafting!!   Yipppeeeee    This is a typical Craft Wednesday for LL and me.

9-9:30  Meet at Hobby Lobby with iPads
            (sidetrack #1- Dear Hobby Lobby, If you could please put in WiFi in your stores for those of us trying to make craft decisions via Pinterest.  We have old eyes and seeing on the iPad is much easier than seeing on the phone screen.)

11-11:30  Leave Hobby Lobby with ten times the ideas we came in the store with and ten times less the amount of money.  Head home to begin the crafting.  (Except yesterday we had to make a Dollar Tree run too)

11:30-12:15  Eat, snack and decide which project is first then get busy because we've spent half the day shopping and no matter which house we are crafting at the other one will need to go home to let the dog out to potty soon.

Sometimes we feel like this:

And some days, like yesterday, this is how we feel:

It was a good return to Craft Wednesday indeed.

So we ended up settling on this project:

So let's see how we did:

Here is a look at both of our projects.

That's LL's on the left and mine on the right.

Pretty good, eh?

This is the close up of mine from my Instagram.

I think we did swimmingly.

So after we cleaned up our mess a bit (we are not tidy crafters) we talked about next weeks projects.  It's probably a better idea if we already have our supplies by the time Wed. rolls around, keeps us on track and gives up more crafting time.  

Since I was so tickled with our projects I decided that I was just going to go ahead and put it out even though it isn't remotely fall yet.

Well the dining room is a bit too formal for it.

Even though it looked smashing against that burgundy background.

I moved it to the window sill in the kitchen for the time being.

So next week we were going to make new fall wreaths for the front doors.

Well I needed to pull apart this wreath so I could reuse the form.

(no worries, the ribbon was faded so it was well loved)

And then...I just got so excited I couldn't stop myself.

Yep, I went ahead and finished it. 

And I don't even care that it is still 100+ degrees outside, it's hanging on the front door!

I'll let it stay until the 1st of of October then it will come down for a month while the Halloween wreath is up then this gets to go back and hang out for Thanksgiving.

I figured I better stop and get some more housework done since Hubster got back into town today. This week the downstairs got a good cleaning while he was gone, next week we take care of the upstairs and do some freezer cooking.  Then I'll be MIA for a few weeks because I'm finally gonna have that nasty uterus of mine ripped out.   It serves no purpose anymore but causing me anguish so off it goes.

I hope the rest of you are cooler than we are in Texas because we are having a heat wave again.

Are you putting up your fall decorations yet?  Ready for fall?

Ready for Football??  OH YEAH!!!!

Hubster is home for a couple days so maybe I'll do some cooking.  

Peace, Love & Think Fall
