swimming in October

Have you ever gone swimming in the mountains at night in October? It's beautiful (I know a little crazy too). I floated on my back and stared at the stars and watched my breath mist up and away from me. It was so calming and peacefull... I had the pool to myself and so just floated in lazy circles,tracing quilt patterns in the stars (I am at a quilting conference after all)

Summer!

Yea summer is finally here. I spent almost all day outside today and didn't need a jacket or an umbrella! I get to see the sun on my way to and from work which just makes life sooooo much more enjoyable (even if it is right at eye level while driving). My nephews and neices can play outside! (this helps me stay sane when they come to visit for more than one day). The garden is mostly planted and I won't really have to do anymore intense work on it until fall when everything needs to be harvested. Oh yeah and all the really great smelling flowers are starting to bloom like lilacs, and irises, next it will be roses and lillies. I love it!

2010 goal

I have been told my goal for 2010 should be to blog more.... sorry probably not gonna happen D'Nell...but my goal of not wasting money (I haven't bought any fabric at JoAnn's yet) and using what I already have is working ok. I've already been to the gym more times this year than i went last year. Hopefully I will have my car paid off this year (no more paying evil interest). I am doing better at finishing projects too ... I've gone to grandma Gs to quilt my yellow quilt, I finished all the blocks for my square dance quilt, and my santa wall hanging finally has buttons and eyes. Unfortunatly I finished the Santa wall hanging right after we put away all the christmas stuff so he will still be sitting in the sewing room until next year. Now I just have to make some cards or scrapbook pages to use my paper stuff.
