Yummy Lunch!
Mom came up to visit today. We took Hubby out for his birthday lunch. We went over to the local Pho place for some yummy Vietnamese soup. Mom likes her hot, which always makes her nose turn red!
Thanks for coming up mom-as always it was good to see you

Tea and crumpets
After a hard week, nothing is better than tea and crumpets first thing in the morning!

But…All my freinds are doing it…
All my friends are sewing.
Well, at least some of my friends are sewing. One of my imaginary friends even set up a website dedicated to her sewing called The Daily Skirt. And she’s making fabulous skirts. Skirts I would see and then secretly drool over.
MoodyBabe is doing much the same, even going so far as to make a pledge to not purchase clothing for 6 months!
Me?
I’m dreaming of a sewing room filled with thread and fabrics and wonderful patterns. Which may or may not ever happen.
Of course, dreaming is one thing. I did attempt to launch head first into sewing madness once in my teens. My Grandmother and Mother ended up “finishing” all of my projects for me. Commenting on the uneven stitching and such. And my Mom just about had a heart attack when I tore up an old towel to make a terry cloth skirt because I just KNEW it was going to be the next big thing. Which it was...only they weren’t made with old yellow towels with lines drawn all over them because I can’t cut straight. And a ragged edge because I wasn’t aware that you needed to finish the edges and, well, that cutting straight thing happened again…
For now I will keep dreaming, and maybe hand stitching a few belly dance hip scarfs to keep me out of trouble…

Workin Out
My new group at work likes to work later hours than the last group I was with. This caused a little consternation for me for a couple of reasons.
One being the fact that I am a morning person. I like to get up early and get started on my day. Because my new coharts weren’t getting started till after 8, I was working till 5 or 6 at night. That’s a few more hours than I wanted to put in.
This also meant that I was skipping my workouts.
More hours + more distress - workouts = a very cranky Elizabeth
The solution? Work out in the morning instead!
I’ve done three morning workouts so far and things seem to be going well. I’m tired during the day, but I figure my body will get used to the new routine and I will be just fine.
I do have to say that I love the sense of accomplishment I feel after my workout. Its nice to start out the day already having done
something great for yourself!
My Husband Rocks
I’m in meetings all day with no breaks. Basically sitting in a conference room from 10 am until 2 pm.
The wonderful man I married just brought me a sandwhich.
I may just be the luckiest woman in the world.
As you wake in the morning
What do you feel?
Does a rush of happiness
wash over you when,
Suddenly, you realize you are alive?
