Well call me stupid for starting another project without finishing all the others I have to work on. I found this wonderful crochet pattern at A.C. Moore and thought of my Aunt Gail who just had her room paint this really nice green. So I bought the yarn with my gift certificate and looked all over creation for the pattern book, finally had to order it from Amazon. I started this pattern thinking it would be easy…not! I am getting the hang of it but it’s terminology is different than I am use too or just something I have never come across yet. Anyhow I have another project to work on and Jonathan’s blanket to finish. Today was Jonathan’s very last day of high school! Can’t believe it!

Well my oldest is graduating high school in 27 days!!! Which means that I have to finish a blanket I started for Jonathan when he was 9 years old!!! The joke has been that I will finish the blanket by the time he is in college. Well I have to say that I never really thought I would take this long to get it done, but it has!! Where has the time gone from not finishing the blanket to where my now 6’2 son has grown up and up! So I have pulled this out to finish for him. The colors are from the Dallas Cowboys and the pattern is a shell crochet. Jonathan laughed yesterday when he saw me working on this just knowing I have a deadline to meet! Damn!! My little boy is graduating!!

My birthday has come and gone …. I was totally spoiled by my family and friends! Just look at what wonderful gifts I received from my kids, my mother and all my coworkers!! Everyone gave me so many wonderful gifts at work! I got a rose bush & cutting board from Anette, a A.C. Moore card from Iona. Lisa gave me the new Paula Deen book and Linda gave me a EBay business book and MILKY WAYS! I could have killed her! Ed totally surprised me with my favorite DVD and movie book and a DVD collection of the Three Stooges!!! I totally loved it! LOL, See about a month ago I had to take Jonathan to the medical emergency for a bad strep. So while we were waiting they had the three stooges on the TV. which I know are just totally silly! Anyhow it was the one where the lion in running loose on the train and is licking Moe's foot and then Moe slaps Shemp who it sleeping at the other end of the bunk....Well I was belly laughing in the office like an idiot and Jonathan was totally embarrassed. This man sitting across from me was trying not to laugh until I let it out we where all laughing! I just love the stooges! But come to find out Lisa…the little tricky one was the one who actually was the shopper for the gift from ED! LOL I should have know since I do his shopping for the others in the office…I am dince! My boys gave me jewelry and my mother gave me the pizzelle iron for those wonderful cookies. My hubby had beautiful yellow roses sent to me at work plus also that wonderful doll with her tongue sticking out. This makes turning 41 a little easier! Then the next day coming in to work Stacey gave me a neat set of beads and jewerly making stuff along with a how to booklet! And daffodils flowers from Linda.
