Good morning happy Wednesday!

Monday night I had bunco and I won! TWICE! I got the most buncos and the most losses so I won $35! It's $5 to play so really I came home $30 richer lol.

Tuesday I had to go into the office. My craft show stuff came with me since I never did get my car unloaded. Still have to do that today.

My favorite time of the day in the office. Good Lord nothing like being blinded for about 3 minutes.

After work I ran to the store and got some stuff for dinner then came home and cleaned up. This box of cereal didn't help AT ALL when it fell off the counter. Although it did try to put itself where it belongs. TRASH. Obviously not my cereal lol

Yesterday was Daniel's 4th birthday. His parents took him to the SF Zoo for a one on one day. Jess said he liked this area the most.

They took him to the beach after but unfortunately it was a you can't swim in the ocean beach. I guess he wasn't too happy about that. 

After they got home they went and got the siblings from the other Grandpa's house and then came over for some hot dogs and pizza. I think little Nate is the only kid that ate lol.

I showed Daniel his new toy I got him when he came in and he said WOW! lol so that was a hit. He took it home with him. 

We sang happy birthday to him and he blew out the candle but didn't eat the cupcake lol

Going to watch the kids for a little bit today so Jess can go get her blood work done. I really need to take a shower so I should do that in a minute. Also need to go get a few things for my trip on Friday! I am going to have to go to town after work. Tomorrow I might go into the office and then I have darts after. My flight Friday morning leaves at 6am so there won't be a whole lot of sleeping Thursday night.

Good morning happy Monday!

Here is my booth from yesterday at the Lodi Street Faire. It was super hot (100) so the attendance was down quite a bit. We started to melt around 2:30 so slowly packed up and drove out 3 minutes before we were supposed to and got yelled at for moving the closed road sign over to get out lol. 

The cookie people didn't sell out

and the salsa people didn't sell out either. I think that was a first for them they both usually sell out early.

My mom and niece Adrian came with me. I hung out at my mom's after til about 8:30 then came home and passed out. I barely slept Saturday night since Scott decided to snore next to me all night instead of on the couch like he usually does. I got up at 4 to get ready too. I still need to unload my car today. Yuck. I was thinking about putting everything in the shed instead of in my room. I think I might do that. I have another show on November 4th so it won't be out there for a long time before it gets pulled out again. It's so nice not having all the boxes on the side of my bed.

Side note look at this McFlurry I got the other day. $4.99 and they only filled 1/2 the cup and didn't even stir it. Not like I need all that but they should at least give you what you pay for.

Tonight I have Bunco so need to figure out what I'm taking there. Also going to have a little dinner for Daniel tomorrow night. He's FOUR tomorrow. His party is on the 19th but we still have to have dinner. Just going to have hot dogs probably. I have to go to work in the office tomorrow so we'll just be simple.

Helloo happy Saturday!! 

I should be working on packing my car for tomorrow but it's 95 outside. Blah.

Last night Jess borrowed my car and I took hers down to the clubhouse for darts. Only 6K to go to get to 300K. Not too shabby for paying $8k for it 12 years ago. Scott has fixed some stuff on it but the engine hasn't been touched. It really is time to retire it though. 

Scott's car he uses for commuting is the same kind of car (Chevy HHR) and it has 375 THOUSAND miles on it. So crazy. It's going to die soon so I think we will get me a new used car (a bigger one than I have now) and then he can use my current car to commute. I want to get a bigger car so I can take the grandkids with me if I go somewhere and also for if I do craft shows etc. 

For darts we won 3 out 7 games so we lost overall. Boooo. Also I got my "prize money" for the summer games. $12 lmao. Rich! I hung out til about 10:30 talking to people out on the patio. The guy on my team who got the husky had her with him. She just got spayed so she had the cone of shame on. She just laid there and accepted pets. So calm! Definitely a mix lol

I finally got Daniel's birthday present. I bought it on eBay and had to go to the postal annex to pick it up. So much fun! 

The lady threw in these plus too, he's going to love them.

Bonus box for Tubz to play in for a bit. She loves boxes.

Scott and I went to town together. We started by going to get him a hair cut, change for tomorrow's event for me (same block of a shopping center), then went to the postal annex, lunch at the new BJ's that opened in town and then the grocery store. The BJ's they just built is the 3rd chain that has been built on this one piece of land by our mall. they just bulldoze the whole dang building and try a new one lol. The music was super loud and like club music which seemed odd for a Saturday with mostly old people eating lunch. Other than that though the food was great! 

The babies yesterday morning. 

How could you resist that face? What do you want? Treats? Ok!

It's a good thing Snookie is small because she is so freaking jealous lol.

I could so go for a nap right now. I have to get up super early tomorrow. I still want to set up my new canopy too since it's a bit different. I don't want to be learning something at 6ish am lol.

Hello happy FriYEAH!!

Last day of being slow for work. Monday will be FULL STEAM AHEAD with a bunch of stuff to do.

I spent all morning watching the Rug Drama on Tik Tok. That was riveting! Alas no body, just a rug. That's good news at least. Can you imagine if you found a dead body in your back yard?

Yesterday I sewed up 2 sets for the 4 block rag quilts. This one I'll probably put up for sale

and these will be for Daniel. I need to get some more batting (always needs something lol) and I want to put flannel on the back of his, so need that. Maybe tomorrow.

Tina's being cute again today.

I cleaned up my desk, the TV tray, all behind my desk and the edge of the other desk today. Go me!

Things I found:

The trust draft from my mother in law's house. I have been debating about calling the number on there to see if they had any advice as to my in laws estate that my brother in law seems to be living in with his girl friend. They gave me the number of two lawyers. Now to get Scott on board.

The recall for my car from like last year. I guess I should take care of that. Made an apt for that the end of December.

The gift card I bought for one of the kids that they couldn't figure out. Got that figured out and got myself a $50 gift card to BJ's Restaurant now. They just opened one in town so maybe we can go there tomorrow when I need to run some errands.

A bunch of other crap, a layer of dust and the top of the desk. Woohooo. 

Still have the disaster corner to clean up and the top of the pattern file area to clean up and the area by the door to clean up. Just a bit. Such a freaking mess. I just have too much stuff for this small room. 

Darts in a couple hours. I need to take a shower I feel like I have dust all over me.

Good morning happy Thursday!

Here is my finished Bluey quilt. It's 44x44"

Sadly some of the fabric on the back faded out weird when I washed it. Bummer. I was thinking about maybe trying to fix it but that's a lot of work lol. 

I cooked a big pork roast thing in the crock pot yesterday. We don't have any bread (for some reason I thought Scott bought it when we went to the store last week) so I put it on tortillas and it was great. 

Doesn't this look fun? I love all the color

Tina is cracking me up in her latest sleeping arrangement

She looks so long!

Trevor put a green light bulb in his room. Actually I think it changes colors. He also fix up a lava lamp and made that green too. It was relaxing looking lol. Pic came out all funky though.

I should probably put these clothes away before I have to wash them all again. It's mostly towels. Tubz says they make a great bed.

I woke up with a huge sinus headache this morning. Please God don't let me get sick for this weekend. Hoping I'm just dehydrated from not drinking much water yesterday. Trevor and I scrounged around and found enough change to refill all our water bottles yesterday afternoon lol. I need to keep some small bills on hand for that. 

No plans for today other than working on some more letters for work. I'll have them all ready to go for when I go into the office again. I should have went in today but I didn't get up early enough and my head hurt. Thought about just calling in but that seems silly when I can just work from home.

Good morning happy Wednesday!

We're having ANOTHER freaking heat wave here. I'm probably going to die on Sunday. It's supposed to be like 97 now. Stupid. 

I finished up this baby quilt I was working on. It's currently in the dryer. Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's done.

Now I've been cutting up some lion & safari fabrics I've been saving for Daniel. I ordered some fancy scissors that are supposed to be good for rag quilting. They don't come until Saturday I think. Hope they work good. 

I worked in the office yesterday. Half the system is down but I was able to use the other half to get quite a few packets done. I still have a bunch to do. Nice to be busy!

Good morning happy last day of the fiscal year Monday. 

Snookie taking a nap with Nate. She loves babies. 

Big kids not so much haha.

Trevor torturing Tina. I think she likes it. She's such a weirdo.

Fancy dinner. Tuna and Tomato soup. I ate this every day for like a year when I was in high school with my friend Audra for lunch or and afternoon snack. I can't remember which one it was lol. We ate it at her house. 

This week will be a dead work week with the exception on working on packets to mail out but I kind of have to be in the office for that. So tomorrow will be busy ;)

So far nothing else exciting going on. Scott is off today so he made us breakfast. I think he's back in his spot on the couch.

Hello happy Sunday! As usual I'm wishing I was off work tomorrow already. If it wasn't the last day of the fiscal year I maybe would have just been like cough cough I think I'm sick. Well probably not I don't really ever do that.

Yesterday Scott and I went and met my cousin Tim and his daughter Ashley at Chili's for lunch. We had a nice lunch and Ashley was like I didn't come all the way here just to hang out in a hotel so lets have dinner too lol.  I had Scott take our picture outside Chili's just in case I didn't end up seeing them later. 

So since I was going to the store anyways she sent me a list with some stuff so they could make dinner at my Aunt's house. We dropped that off on the way home. Scott tapped out on going to my Aunt's with me. I was like her house is so small he's going to last like 30 minutes and want to go home so I was like you don't have to go..

Here is my Aunt Judy with her "kids". My Uncle is still in the hospital and supposed to come home Monday with IV antibiotics. 

Tim, Kim, Aunt Judy & Mike

Ashley & Tim (her dad), Kayla and Kim (her mom), Aunt Judy, Mike and Brandon (his son). They all have a bunch more kids but that is who was there. 

and then there was some random guy who showed up and said he'd take the picture so all of us in there. 

Kathy Tim's wife, Tim, Ahsley, Kim, Aunt Judy, Mike, Me and Brandon. They all got the skinny gene from Aunt Judy's side of the family apparently lol.

I stayed til after 10, I kept looking at a clock and it said 9:30 and it was really like 10:30 lol. She has about 100 clocks and 1000 dolls in her house. 

Here is Tina earlier in the day being a fat baby. 

So I missed the dart awards but that's ok. Being with family was great. I guess we came in last place! Whoops lol. Hopefully we do better for the fall season! Looks like we have darts on Friday night this week. 

My paycheck gets direct deposited and I apparently I got a bonus so that is good. I've been making a lot of mistakes lately so I was like they're probably going to fire me let alone give me a bonus haha. I hate that we have this area boss person now and that I have to send things to her for approval and she sees stuff I miss. Usually it is not me making the actual mistake, just not catching what someone else did. Not really a job that I'm used to having to do since I used to work with an office boss that actually knew what she was doing most of the time. 12 more years til retirement. Hopefully I can hang lol.

Hello happy Sunday!

Thursday night the kids came over for awhile. Popsicles for everyone! He ate almost the whole thing, only had the last little bits drop onto the tray lol. He was mad when I took the stick away too. 

He loves this walker he runs in it now. He will be 8 months old in 2 days. 

Last night I made pepper steak for dinner, one batch for us and one for Jessica's house. She's been asking me to make it for her. Trevor cleaned out the leftovers when he got home from work (he usually misses dinner and then eats when he gets home at like 11pm on work days). 

I've been working on cutting squares still from my blue and now cream small scraps. I'm almost done with what I had on my mini rolls then I'm going to turn my attention towards making something. Next weekend is the Lodi Street Faire. I probably should have been working on more products for that but I have a lot already. 

I'm going to go meet my cousin for lunch today. They are here visiting from Texas. I was trying to remember the last time I saw him and it has probably been like 30 years. So crazy. Actually maybe like 20 ish. He was probably at my Grandma's funeral, she died in 2006. My uncle has been in the hospital for a long time with some weird infection in his shoulder. 

So not much lounging time this morning since I slept in til 9 lol. Going to have to take a shower soon.  Oh tonight is our darts award night too so two times going out in one day. I'll probably hit the grocery store for some stuff after lunch too.

The kids are coming in the morning tomorrow so no sleeping in tomorrow ;)
