one more time

Ok, giving blogger one more chance. I tried AOL journals (for past few days go to http://journals.aol.com/hannasmom1198/mythoughts . It was ok but you can do more to your page with blogger. You have to get a typepad account to really play with your AOL blog. Was just listening to Rhett Miller on myspace. I have GOT to get his CD this weekend!! OK, I did something really stupid and I need help. Dh's clothes had oil on them(motor oil or something similar)- I washed them in the washer and thought it came out, put them in the dryer and now have oil stains all in my dryer, and am afraid if I put anything in there, the oil will heat up and get on my clothes and/or cause a fire. Any ideas how to get it out? Someone said coke cause it gets it out of clothes, I tried that but it only got the surface oil out, the stain is still there.. arggggggggh I wanted a new dryer but not this way... help!

test

tried to blog the other day and kept getting errors... let's see what happens today..

back again

arrgggggggh! I had this long post, then said publish and kept getting error messages. I hate that! Anyway, shortly after my last post, our water heater broke and flooded our downstairs. Our computer was fine, but our desk was ruined so we had nowhere to put the computer. Now everything's straight but I've been lazy about blogging.
My WIP "Fall Sampler" is no more.. it was on the floor in an open plastic bag when the downstairs flooded, and my overdyed threads ran all over each other and the fabric. It's ok in a way cause I really was getting tired of it anyway.
Believe it or not, I'm currently reading the Laura Ingalls Wilder series. I've had them all since I was little, but don't think I ever read them all, so I am now. They're actually quite interesting. I'm on the 3rd book right now.
Dh and I went to see "Failure To Launch" last weekend, it was really good and alot funnier than I thought it would be. But as a friend of mine said, you could watch Matthew McConaughey read a box of cereal and it would be interesting. lol
Not much else going on here.. still sick of the Brangelina hubbub, I really don't see what the big deal is. In fact I saw a funny article online showing how he always changes his look to match his girlfriend/fiancee, just confirms my thoughts that he's like a little puppy dog! And I used to like him so much. Oh well, enough of that.. maybe this one will publish...

Long time no blog

And no good excuse..been playing more games online than blogging!! Got this cute stuffed animal and they have a cool site called www.webkinz.com , you can play fun games and play in their little world.. I know I'm a bit old for it but it's a good way to relax! I haven't stitched much recently either, that's partly why, partly when I sit down to stitch it's usually at night and I get sleepy! I'm going to start working on it on my lunch break soon tho.. I really miss it, I just can't get motiviated.
On another note, I am ssssssssssooooooooooooo tired of hearing about Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. I mean who really cares?? I wish they'd just get married, then maybe the gossip will move on to someone new.
I'm reading a really good book right now - Nighttime is my Time by Mary Higgins Clark. I hadn't read any of her books in a while and I forgot how good they were! It's been hard to put this one down.
I weighed myself today.. I think I should've made the standard New Year's resolution to diet..
oh well, that's it for now, will try to be better about checking in.. give me a shout out if you're still checking in with me.. lol

A hilarious site

(Click "A hilarious site" above.) This site finds odd/funny stories(mainly odd crimes reported)in US papers/magazines and posts them.. there is some wacky stuff on here!

Fall House Sampler

This is my progress so far- I started this last fall I think it was and finally picked it back up this late summer/early fall. I'm trying to finish up things I've started before I start anything else. I like how this is coming along. I'll be glad though to finish the bottom and actually start working on the top where the house is. :-)

Gary Glitter

OK, what is wrong with this picture. A few years ago Gary Glitter was put in prison in the UK for 54 counts of child pornography, from what I hear pretty explicit stuff. How long did he stay in jail?? 4 months. That's it!! And now he is wanted in Vietnam for messing around with underage girls. Hello. That's what happens when you only lock him up for 4 months. Should have been at least a year per count.. so that's 54 years. Sorry.. just had to get that off my chest. Couldn't believe it when I read that the other day!

Progress on "Christ in Gethsemane" as of 11-14-05

My progress on my mother-in-law's t-shirt as of yesterday..(10-3-05) 

ebay fun

Ever go to the feedback of someone who won one of your items, and see what else they have won in the past? It can be quite intersting.

American Princess

Did anyone watch this? I confess when I saw the commercials I thought it looked rather ridiculous. But dh was watching one of the episodes on the marathon WE was having and I got hooked, I'm glad I could watch them all at once! I liked both of the last two contestants, but Michelle was my favorite and she won. :-) I'm excited for her! Wonder if she and her family get to move to England and she gets to be an actual princess or what.. hope we find out!

Saturday night

Well I don't know if I have enough to say to fill up two blogs but I like messing around with the settings on this one so I'll keep it, if anything just for stitching updates and a random thought here and there. I like Yahoo 360 cause I can limit who reads it but there's not the fun templates and fun stuff you can add, at least not yet. I like the burgundy in this template, thought it was kind of fall- ish. I love fall. I hope the temps cool down soon so it feels like fall!

Finished this Friday for my co-worker/friend Jean for her birthday. I can't wait to give it to her Monday! 

decided to keep this one too..

Not sure what I'll post about yet.. or if anyone's reading.. drop me a comment if you want me to keep it up..

new blog!

I have created a new blog elsewhere that has a little more privacy. Email me if you want to see it! If you know me than you have my email address, no need to post it here! Thanks!

Uneventful weekend

Stayed around the house mostly,but was lazy with my stitching! Didn't get much done. I worked on the "surprise" I'm working on, and a bit on Christ in Gethsemane. I love working on that one, but it is frustrating cause even when I work on it for a while I feel like no one will be able to tell yet! Maybe after I work on it this week I will post a pic.
We watched a funny British horror movie over the weekend, "Shaun of the Dead." Kind of gross in parts, but funny!!
We are anxiously awaiting David to roll over.. he keeps looking like he's going to but then doesn't.. maybe soon.. he is "talking" up a storm tho, always cooing and making noises! It's adorable!
Oh well.. not much going on otherwise.. gonna go have some ice cream.

Here's our little bud laughing! Taken today- 7-24-05 

Lizzie Kate Strawberry Scissors case- finished 7-12-05 :-)
