Things I’m not meant to do…

UH! Ok, a few years ago I wanted to try sewing. I borrowed my mother-in-law’s sewing machine, which hadn’t been used for quite some time. I did pretty well with it at first and then needle broke every two seconds or got raffled up in the machine. I got frustrated and decided sewing wasn’t for me. (Although I wonder what it would be like to use a new modern sewing machine.) The last few days I’ve been looking into knitting. I printed off some instructional guides and trying to learn as much as I can. Today I finally made it over to our new Hobby Lobby and got some yarn and a couple needles. I got home and started trying to do the first steps for knitting. It wasn’t working, because I couldn’t tell exactly what it was saying to do. I thought, “Self, you know you usually do better to “see” someone do it.” So I went and found some knitting videos online and once again. Failure!! ACK!! I guess I’m not meant to knit either!! Should I try to crochet? My Granny crocheted amazing blankets and made it look so easy! For now…I’m gonna stick with the crafty stuff I’m good at. I’ll be tracking back to Hobby Lobby to spend my money more wisely. 🙂 I’ll let you know if I’m successful.

I have a niece!

I have a niece, Abigail Grace, born at 5:08 pm today. She’s 7 lbs. & 20 inches long. I’ve heard from my mother-in-law that she’s beautiful. I can’t wait to see her! I think we’re going to see her Sunday. I’d go see her tomorrow, but Rob and Drew have a lot going on tomorrow. I guess I’ll be nice and go with them! I’ll be sure to take lots of pics to share 🙂

Sad news

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything blogged about much by so many people at one time. The Croc Hunter has died. Like someone else said, at least he died doing what he loved. RIP

Congrats to Katie and Cody!

My friends, Katie and Cody, had their triplets on August 31st. The babies are Zoey @ 4lbs 10 oz. 17 ½“ long born at 8:26 PM, Alli @ 4lbs 6oz. 17 ½” long born at 8:27 PM and Lila @ 4lbs 13oz. 17 ¼“ long born at 8:28 PM. They’re all healthy, breathing, and eating on their own unlike most of the babies in the NICU. They’re so cute!!

Your Questions Answered!

Lisanne asked:
1] What are your thoughts about autumn quickly approaching? Do you enjoy fall? What are your favorite fall activities?
Well, fall may technically start Sept. 21, but here in the South it won’t ‘feel’ like fall until later October. Nevertheless, I love fall. I love making fall crafts and the cool weather when it finally decides to show up. I also enjoy Auburn Football. I love candy corns and scarecrow decorations, too.

2] How would you spend today if you could do absolutely *anything* you wanted?
That’s actually a very hard question! If this question didn’t have the ‘today’ part, I’d say I would book a trip and leave ASAP! If I could go anywhere, I’d probably choose Italy, because Mr. Mag and I talked about that recently. I’ve just been so itchy lately to go a trip. Mr. Mag is going to San Diego in a couple weeks and so I’m quite envious of that! WOW! I didn’t really answer the question, did I?

If I could do anything for just today…I’d sleep late. I’d go up to Atlanta and meet some friends up there, go shopping, buy a new computer, and then in the evening, I’d get dressed up and meet Mr. Mag for a ‘date’. We’d go to Dante’s for a very romantic dinner and then we’d head back to the Westin Peachtree Plaza! Yep, that sounds like a dreamy day!

3] Our birthdays are *really* close! What are your birthday plans?
Birthday? Coming up? Oh no! LOL! I haven’t had any thoughts of my birthday to be honest. Let’s see my birthday is on a Saturday sol that’s nice. If I could choose what I’d want to do that day…Well, I’d enjoy the above, but that won’t happen. So I would just like to hang out with family and go out to eat to…maybe Carino’s or Shogun Japanese. If I was to pick something out for my birthday, I would get a camera bag for my new camera and lenses. I’ve done lots of research on the net, but can’t seem to find on that stands out, so I’d like to go shopping for one.

Thanks for participating, Lisanne!
