Well not much been happening....I seem to be in a depressed phase right now. DH goes to see neurosurgeon on monday....may finally get that spinal surgery. Lots at work. Gearing up for the summer reading programs. Found out that ALL libraries in Ontario have the SAME theme... Catch a Dragon by the tale....Kinda, like it is me!!! I have waited to have this theme and be a part of it. TD bank is the main sponsor so where ever there is a TD bank, the surrounding library has the same theme.

School winding down now....kids getting happy. NOW I get busy. LOL

Sorry for the delay between posts. Just haven't felt up to much lately.

Take care...Hope to be back soon LYnn

Hey I did it!!!! I figured out how to fix DH's not so nimble fingering of the inner workings of the puter. AND I got a new router, hooked it up and connected all 3 puters to the net......YAY ME! I love my puter....whichever one I can get on lol

There was a job posting at work ....for a Virtual Librarian (librarian I am not...just an LT) and my best friend said I should go for it....yeah right. they won't even look at me....She feels I am good with puters, even tho I haven't taken any courses, but my natural ability and enthusiasm are enough. It is more than I can do, but nice to dream. Nope, don't wanna take puter courses....wanna go back to school and take some more anthro courses......ah, to have $$ and more time....the eternal wish.

Well, I have been on the puter for HOURS AND HOURS loving every second of it. Asked my sister if she knew where I could rent a laptop with remote net access for 2 weeks. She commented "like leasing"? nope...just for 2 weeks. When she asked why I said " well I am going camping for 2 weeks in july with DS and parents (they have a seasonal site) and I cannot go that long without access" she replied OMG. get a book!!!!! (library worker me I can get lots o books..... not the point!!!!) What a quandry....what to do.

Was talking to a library patron the other day at work. She is as addicted to the puter as I am. When I told her of the above conversation, she laughed out loud and agreed with me. I told her I can't wait to get ""plugged in"" thru the back of my head so I can surf in one eye and work thru the other eye..... I mean, I am woman....I can multitask!!!!!

So, does anyone feel my pain? I guess I read too much sci fi....I can see this happening....I wanna be there!

Enuff for now...... mail me!
Thanks for reading all.....geesh I need a counter...LOL
Love Lynn

Well, where have I been? having puter troubles again, just got my home outlook acct fixed. YAY! copied the server settings down and will put them somewhere safe.
Still working on my rotation (if ya can call it that, I have only been working on the blueberry street quilts.....at least I haven't added anything else LOL)
Been very tired. Someone gave me club pogo for a free trial.....WOW! gotta get me some $$, very addicting...love Phlinx and Tri peaks solitaire.......

Haven't been surfin much lately.....been pogoing... not much to say, sorry guys. If anyone can give me any energy I would be eternally grateful.

More another day........Lynn

Well, I have been having some fun. Have stuck to my current screaming rotation. I have been good and not added anything. I have been working on blueberry street quilts. Even tho it is on aida, it is comforting. 3 strands of floss, but looks tres cool. I have been looking around at photosites. Some pretty neat stuff out there. I have added some to my faves to visit. Webshots and such. The only thing wrong with this is that I find more that I want. Oh well, gonna have to make a wish list. Saw a neat site for this on TWBB called wishlist.com....gonna do that today. hee hee hee also the site mentioned about seeing charts on fabbie. OMG! I can see the damage to credit cards from here....all the TWBB'rs credit cards are smokin. lol

Home alone today YAY! DS 9 has been having some issues at school. Seems his teacher is a bitch. He was so upset he wanted to leave the school. Geesh, still trying to figure out the facts behind it. The kids bug him, the noise bugs him, ritalin not strong enuf I guess. :o(
Have to figure out how to grow him a thicker skin....seems my girls 15 & 19 (Leos both of em) have thick skin Ah well, James is a Cancer....nuff said. Me (taurus) the worrier and eternal mommy. DH (scorpio....again nuff said) damn scorpions...useless critters always crying poor me, blah blah blah....get over yourself. no offense to any other scorpios...just THIS ONE!!!!!

gonna stitch, take a nap, have my French Vanilla Cappuccino and listening to tunes on Q107.com......My fave from my childhood in the 70"s.

Take it easy and I hope to scan some wip pics.....
Love ya all, my blogging buddies.......someday we will meet!
Lynn

Hey it's me again. Well, nicer weather here, gone from 32 C to 12 c....from swelter to brrrr.
Been playing with my wips again. got it narrowed down to under 60 items. I have decided to go with the following:Kali's stocking, blueberry street quilts, 3 ornies that are 95% done, Barnabees quest and 2 more small minis by Just Nan (honeysuckle rose and my fair ladybug), s few feng shui pics and Guardian by TW.

not sure how I will do them. May just be a screaming rotation. As I finish some, I will add some in their place. Kali's stocking is a BH&G one that I started on the WRONG thread not next to a vertical---before I knew what I was doing. (gotta be a stitcher to get the meaning)

We have been cleaning around here again. Mowing the lawn, weeding, raking, cleaning the bunny hutch and watching them go AT it. lol 3 bunnies and we don't know which is a male yet....lol

Met some more nice ladies on pogo last nite. One is a transsexual with issues. seems like a nice person. will talk to him/her more. interesting conversation. brought many things to my attention that I never knew ( submission, dominance, roles, hormone replacement therapy, assuming the role and other stuff). I am a female with a male husband. not my way of life, but I don't judge. People are people....we all bleed the same colour and we all love.

Well, off to stitch some more ....... after I visit my fave blogs....see my right sidebar for the great ones.

Ta for now, Love Lynn

I DID IT!!!!! LOOK RIGHT-------->

I finally figured out how to add links.... YAY, now I can visit from my own site.
I hope you are all proud of me. Thanks to Blogger, your new instructions have helped a newbie like me. rubbing hands together....just think of the damage I could do now. WOW me is learning lots of stuffs today.

Now, for all my friends....have sorted the wips and have not quite got the list down. I will be doing the stocking as a rotation piece. That is a given. Will give it more thought and hope to have more to add...........keep watching :o)

WOWSERS! Blogger has gone TRES cool. I love the look of this, and I hope I can add more stuff....links and such.

Now onto previous topics. Rotations. I have gotten some much needed advice from the TWBB rotation stitchers. Thanks Kate. I have whittled my rotation down to 55 pieces (not that I don't wanna do them ALL right now, but, in reality...I have to finish SOMETHING).

So I am going to reorganize again....yes again....another bin needed I think. Darn, Canadian Tire will love me....humming as I go out to shop....don't tell the DH. When I have reorganized the 55, I will start my rotation and I will be good and list it here. Hopefully tomorrow (or tonite if I am lucky).

I love my stuff. I have so much stuff in my sewing room that I can hardly fit me! and I am not little either (working on that too gotta get me smaller to fit in that room and my clothes).

I really appreciate all the help I have received from my friends in blogger space. I really, really hope to meet you all someday. High five, friends forever,,,,,housework never LOL

bye for now....look for that posting soon... Love Lynn

ROTATIONS

Well, at the rate I am going, I am never gonna finish anything. So, I wandered over to the TWBB rotation stitchers. Got some great ideas. I really loved the one about rating each project. So that is what I am doing first.

Got out my palm, updated most of the wips and wanna dos. The wips alone = over 130. So, I went to my SLTG desktop prog and sorted by title and printed it out. wow!!! 3+ pages. got to work with a pen and used thefollowing:
E = easy --ornies, small pics (Just Nan smalls under 50 x 50), small mag pieces (usually full cross, possibly aida and under 100 sts each way)
S = solid XX like bigger pics (Paula vaughan, stockings, floral grandeur by dimensions)
SS = specialty stitches -- band samplers (Just Nan, Indigo rose, Drawn Thread)
B = blended TW nuff said
BW = black work, or single colour pieces

Then I have previously listed by size. S M ML L XL BAP. There is different criteria for each of these, but I won't go there unless anyone asks. I have taken out lots of the small projects and put them in a white under the bed rubbermaid box. (also listed on my palm). I am keeping all the bigger ones in a very large bin (approx 4'x2.5'x2'high), then I have the other assorted stuff hanging around. I cannot get enough tubs to hold them all.....uh oh....I am sensing an addict here. insert big eyes here

I have so many wanna dos, that I have started a separate smart list of them (over 50 now) and ornies I wanna do (from Just cross stitch xmas issues and older december issues---another smartlist of them too....don't ask how many)

Well, I still can't figure out which I wanna stitch most. Some have only a bare few stitches in (Noahs sub, Nova, need fabbie for And they sinned....gonna wait on that one. gee, I wonder why LOL )

So, being inspired by the gals on the BB, (thanks all and doodlehead....yours is too small for me LOL, but I like your thinking), I am going to gift meself on my BIRTHDAY today (even tho I am sick and have a sick kid home wandering off humming "happy birthday to me......la la la"
I am off to the basement to my sewing room to plan and ponder. Any helpful hints always welcome Thanks in advance. Oh p.s. anyone know where I can get an issue of SANQ? I need #13 to finish my collection. Just got some icky black and white reprints, but better than nothing I guess.... copies from Hoffman media and only need that last one.

Have a great day all. Love and hugs.....muuuaaahhhh Lynn

OMG! I am in TWBB withdrawal....yikes, I did not realize how much I miss it and how much I look for it. Anyone else out there like me? sob.....

Well, I guess I will just have to read the blogs. At least lissy has lots of finishes; oooo and su @ floating needle has some neat blogger stuff (from Hazel)....gonna check that out...gotta add that addy to my palm; whiz is pondering the loss of the bb too...:o) suz is commenting on her 'big'day in court.... you gotta read that one & the background (that was a great read suz);

I am gonna have to have a look at the stitchers five.....on my agenda....can I fit that in???? lol

Well. Not much happenin, other than the usual stuff. DD2 went to see GI and psychologist. Found out more than I wanted to again. :o( seems her crohns is 15 cm now of inflamed and there is a narrowing. so we watch and wait. DS has to go on ritalin. We will try and see if it makes any difference. He is at the lowest dose right now, may increase it this wkend. DH is in awful pain. ever since the ENG test he is worse. He will see the surgeon in June. Can't wait. We have to do something about this. I know surgery will fix it. Will prolly adjust his attitude too. hee hee

I am TIRED always. I have started my diet/lifestyle change yet again. But with sore tootsies, walking is not my exercise of choice. I will wait on that area (exercise). Have to lose some weight first. Need some of the bulk off to be able to do some.

I have been doing some stitching. not much to report on progress. Have been doing some little things. Starting some feng shui mini pics. Going to do Peace for me...geesh, wonder why??? lol

Miss my friends online. Have not been on the puter much. but still read it lots. just not enuf time to post and such. surfing the web is almost nil now. just checking my faves takes a bit of time.
Will be back hopefully later today. We will see. Ciao

Well. Got an email from a friend/co worker. She is now somewhere else, but we still email and run into each other at workshops and meetings. Got me to wondering;;;;;;;

did you ever wonder how many lives you have touched?

not just touched, but made a difference to. I am constantly amazed at how many people know who I am, think I am a nice person, and enjoy my company. I have many, many acquantainces, many of whom I will call friend. Not as close as my Debbie. We worked tog for 1 year and will be friends for life, I am sure. you see, I had met her once before when I was 17 (at a work placement for highschool) and I was trained by her for a few days. When I saw her again, she didn't remember me and was surprized that I remembered her. I thought she was neato then and I love her like a sister now. Our lives are very similar and we finish each others sentences. Soul mates.....funny how you find one and never wanna let em go. It is really great to be able to be understood and understand another person on another level, without talking. It still amazes me how much we are........that's it, just are. Here I am at 43 yrs old and have just met again my best friend. Never thought at this age soul mates can be found. It is making me teary here just thinking of us almost not meeting again.

Then you start to wonder.......how much of an impact can you make on anothers life? positive, negative, indifferent.........(me and my dots....again lol)

I would like to be remembered as a neat, fun and happy person, no matter the shit that happens in my personal and family life. My cup is ALWAYS HALF FULL.
heck, full......ever the optimist that's me.

I love to meet new people, maybe that is why the psychic said I will be a teacher....that way I can touch many lives. not a teacher per se, but a sharer of stuff (information, be it any kind of info). Have lots going thru my mind, can ya tell?
thinking of: losing weight, getting fitter,
running, singing, teaching in all its facets,
being, learning, helping,
but I think BEING says it all. Thanks to ALL who touch my life. I could start to name names, but you all know who you are. My online friends, fellow bloggers (even tho I can't link ya yet!), co-workers and ex-co-workers, family, friends, people I meet on the street and anywhere else. You all make an impact on MY life.......Hope I make one on yours.

Love from Lynn........ :o)

Well not much happenin. Been stitching on my main man. see him here

http://www.ofoto.com/PhotoView.jsp?&collid=56217262205&photoid=310636211105

He is coming along nicely. I have been gridding a BAP and you can see what it will look like here http://www.muchadoaboutstitching.com/patterns/missal2.jpg

When I get a chance I will post a pic. Just starting to add a few stitches. Gridding took a while. I am only gridding part of it as I want to put SOME thread into it. lol

Things have calmed down a bit here. Lots of things happening soon. DH has an EMG test...for his disk problems. DD2 sees a psychologist this week, DS goes to see about psychriatic tests this month (possibly ADD :o( ) DD 1 is almost moved out.... :o( but we will move DD2 to her room and use her room as an entertainment/computer room. That will be cool. I am getting tired again with the anticipation of all the running around in the next few weeks. Remember 2003 being the year of "it's all about me"? well I thought 2004 could be I don't want anymore (crap, trouble, problems, health worries......yada yada yada)..so far.......it isn't happening.

April fool's joke on the TWBB was tres cool. I knew it was a joke as soon as I read it. Sad that some ppl got their knickers in a knot. Poor Whiz. The tension there was so thick you could cut it with a laying tool......You should NEVER believe at first value anything on the a.m. of that day. I remember my dad, every year, pulling the same joke. We would all be in the kitchen and he would look out the window and say...." It is so cold outside the birds are walking" and we fell for it every time....my gifted children.....lol they didn't fall for it ever. guess they didn't fall from my tree....thank goodness.

Well, gonna go stitch.

Well. Hmmmmm I love visiting the floating needle, doodle blog, whiz gidget wonders and Taneya's blog. These are the one I visit EVERY time I come on. Loved the dragon quiz on floating needle.....decided to do it....

A GOLD Dragon Lies Beneath!

My inner dragon is the most honorable of all. I enjoy shape-shifting, humans, and the occasional crusade to save the world. I'm what you might call a Draconic Knight. Click the image to try the Inner Dragon Online Quiz for yourself.





Very fun....Honorable...not bad for someone who CANNOT tell a lie. ya think???
Well, things are calmer around the home fire. March break is here and the 9 yo kid is bored already....thank goodness I am going to work today....tho his sis may not like watching him. LOLOLOL

Got some neat stuffs from ebay. Fabbie, magazines and LOTS more coming....gotta watch my bank acct tho....getting looooooow

Well, I am here and ready to confess. lol A lot has been going on here. K is still sick and vomiting....me thinks there is a bowel blockage....more meds and testing to follow. J has a sore tummy too....might be the flu going around. We did get our shots in November, but with all the new strains and such. I am looking into glyconutritionals....seems we can heal ourselves. Will try on me first and then the kids. Tho I think it wouldn't hurt us all....now to find the $$$$$ to buy them.

Haven't had much time to stitch. Seems I can never get a moment to breathe or go to the bathroom. SOMEONE always needs me..... :o( guess that's the mommy thing. but I wanna pass the torch sometime.


Taking J to the Child and Family centre for a psychiatric assessment. He may have a mood disorder ( gee, ya think?) what with ALL the rest of us having depression, etc...and my family and my sis and her kids.....go figure the odds. We will be there 2 hours today. We got in quickly. they called for a tele assessment on 24 Feb and told me at least 3 months. they called yesterday for today....an opening...I jumped at it! of course. My orthotics fitting can wait (tho I can hardly walk....damn feet).

Really enjoying all my online friends blogs. I hope to be added to the TWBB bloggers link. Tho I still have to see how to add links to others?????

Well, gonna go surf and have some fun. Taking my cuppa tea with me....yummmmm

Take the Which Care Bear Are You? Quiz!

I am cheer Bear.....gee, am I surprised? nope.....everyone always asks me how I can be smiling and happy thru all the shit happening ALL THE TIME in my life.....gotta laugh or ya cry.....

Well, it's me again. Loved whiz's post about the ........thong. lol got me a wonderin.....who models the underwear and gives it the size classification? prolly victoria secrets models....do they make size 0 underwear? inquiring minds.....hey whiz, do you know the answer to that one? lol

Well, 19 yo DD has started to date her xDF and her mutual friend. has gone from a boy (xDF 19) to a man 25 yr old. And what a wonderful man. He adores her and has for a few years. His family loves her, and he sings karoake with his twin brothers,,,,,he serenades her. awwwwww how sweet, saw it meself on fri nite. His family loves her....have I mentioned that? and so do I. she has accomplished more in her 19 years than many 3o yr olds I am sure. She is the most confident, smart, aware young woman (a Leo, can't ya tell?) She can make a friend anywhere and has many teachers (from grade school to college) who are her mentors and keep in touch. I could go on and on, but suffice it to say, I am one proud mama.

15 yo daughter...still having tummy troubles. seems better and worse. she told me she is getting upset with hearing us fight late at night and doesn't like to hear her dad cry. maybe if he grew up and didn't make the whole house involved it would be better.....geesh, need much much more counselling. why, why, why does EVERYTHING for men revolve around SEX????? damn.....getting it...not enough, not getting it....we are mean and don't love them...what about me, my stress levels and sanity? I have no, repeat NO libido.......stress will do that I am sure....as well as being pestered all ALL ALL ALL the time. I think we need a week alone to bring something back to us....I hope we can or it is over? too tired with the fighting and arguing....he wanted to drive himself into the lake last night....god, what to do....have counselling on friday....but will we be able to figure this out?
did you know that they don't have counselling like they used to? where you could go and spill your guts and work thru things? i am sure there is a conspiracy to make relationships a temporary thing too....

enough rambling...have been stitching just a little. too tiredd, stressed and frustrated....
worked on a mitten design by Cross eyed cricket, a small ornie, and fondling my stash....those posts on TWBB about organizing, storing, sorting and stash stuff was really eye opening.........going to fondle some stuffs....lololol

Well. Things seem to be settling down around the old homestead. DD1 broke off the engagement. Got the ring @ xmas and now apart. saw it coming but he didn't. bad part is he was living with us and has known us for at least 5 yrs and is like family. .....sad, but necessary this change for DD. She has many goals and dreams and he had basically none. I hope she will play the field for a while and have fun. after all, she is only 19.

DS had an altercation with a friend and a shovel. seems He got in the way and has an owie on his leg....was an accident....but heard there was more going on around that incident. seems he threw a snowball at another kids head and had to run away. dumb kids....snow belongs on the ground :o)

DD2 seems better, just have to fill the script for new meds. another type of anti inflammatory....hopefully this will calm down the Crohns. she seems to be keeping down her food, so that is better....maybe it is lots of stress. seems her BF broke up the week before valentines day and the formal dance. AND DD1 broke up with DF ON valentines day. DH and I got away and went to the Needle Gnome. What an awesome store! It is worth the drive to Acton....lol I will definitely be going back. Nice selection and lots of stuffs. I even got a chart from Hillside samplings for $2.00 Sampler sewing basket. Also, Dogwood Sampler by Darlene Osteen $2 andBirthday Roses by Just Nan same price. I also go Noahs Needle by Just Nan (yikes reg price), but I really love it.

Got more, but this post is long enough. I really like reading others' blogs. I still have to find a way to link them from here......geesh, where can I put in an order for another few hours in the day?

Ta for now,

Well now. I was surfin around and found some neat blogs. They were kind of weird and there was quite a community going on there. Not sure I really want to go back to them....I will stick to my friends. BUT I did find this neat questionnaire. So I filled it out. Check me out.......

So now you know all kinds of stuff about me. This was fun. Made me think. DD 2 seems better. She will be going for more tests to see if more of small intestine is diseased.
Went looking for DS valentines cards...seems he misplaced them and we were on a hunt....darn aches acting up..... so DD1 printed off some pics of spongebob (6 to a page) and now he has some....

so, I am off here now. Dh will want to surf and paltalk his new friends. gives me a reason to stitch AND more importantly have the tv turned off.YAY

Thanks for looking in.

Well, today is the day we get to check DD #2. going to the specialist...lots of tests and prolly will schedule more. We will spend the aftnoon there and have lunch together. I love my kids! they are the greatest AND they are indigo children.

Indigo children are special children. They are born of us but are not ours. They are the technological children of the future. They are the thinkers and doers....sent here to teach us. There are some great books about these children.
Here is a neat site that can start your journey. http://kryon.com/k_37.html

Next topic. What to do about DH? How can I show him my fears, worries and confusion about his choice of friends (20 ish girls). People are starting to question him and me. People assume a liason....but I am assured not. It hurts to think that I cannot be that person to make him happy. Counselling is good but there are many more issues to pursue.Can you just imagine if I went out for an inpromtu dinner with a guy 20 yrs younger than myself, didn't let anyone know and come home and talk about it? shit, damn. he would have flipped a lid, but now he says he has "changed" trying to become a more happier person. how to fix, repair, ? this thingie..... have I said I am tired lately????

I wish I could write all the things I want to say, but might not be a good idea. Hmmmm, maybe I should start journaling.....now, where to hide it???
any thoughts????

Not much stitching done lately. Need the sleep more I guess. I have been doing a lot of reading tho. I am reading the In Death series by J D Robb.....I really like them. Also, I am reading the erotic horror novels Hot Blood. very interesting, but I would like more eroticism and less horror.....hm maybe I should reread Story of O. Any more suggestions for me?

I have applied for a permanent fulltime job. a little less money, closer to home tho. keep all digits crossed. I would miss my current job (more responsibility, part time permanent, love the job, hate the hours) but my kids need me at home and more accessible.

Ta for now, have a great day, fellow TWBB'rs and bloggers. :o)

Well, took DD 2 to hospital sunday night. thought she was vomiting up body parts (maybe stomach lining), but doc thinks not. She is 15 has Crohns and has been having a rough time with it. Not keeping down too much food in the last 2 months. At least we see the specialist on thrs this week. I am sick with worry. She just wants an endoscopy (down throat) to see how bad it is and wants it out....the diseased part. seems 1.5yrs ago 1 cm was diseased of the small bowel/intestine. All the tests on thurs will be bloodwork, bone scans and bone density....will be demanding more as well....barium follow thru and endoscopy. What a damn shame! 2 girls with the same disease. DD 19 had 12 inches removed 2 yrs ago. now DS 9 wonders if he will get it.

Sometimes I wonder at the meaning of all this stuff. I know God gives me no more than we can handle, but I am soooooo tired of handling all that we have over the last 23 years of our marraige. I feel I may need to delve into my purpose in life and spiritual needs/deeds. I am starting to read The purpose driven life by Rick Warren. Just glanced so far, but will be starting earnestly in the next few days......

time time.....where can I find more? Have been trying to find more time to stitch, but small disasters befall me at every turn.

I wish I could figure out how to turn on comments forms???
well, I may add more later,,,,,gonna go surf other blogs and sites.

Well, I am back. DH just tore apart the puter area and rewired everything. Maybe we can get at things easier now that the tower is on top of the desk. Hooked up the webcam and microphone....guess he wants to go to the "chat" rooms....lots a pics there, tho not my cuppa tea.

Have been stitching on an older wip. I love country folk. it is cute and I will try to get my site up and running to post some pics.
Have really been craving jalapenos lately. Ran out and got some cream cheese and chopped up the little peppers and YUMMMMM!

Having lots of fun with this new site. Next step: figure how to link to the other blogs I visit. Thanks to Melissa for adding me.

This seems to be a place to put things down and mull over. I have been thinking of Tazkat.....poor baby, lots of crap going on over there. She is having my sympathies.

Things are better on the homefront here. DH and I have gone for our second appt with the counsellor and I am hopeful. Gave him the ultimatum and he grabbed it. Seems almost 23 yrs mean lots to him too. Lots to fix and recover, but love is still there. wish us luck.....

now back to our regularly scheduled programming.....start stitching......

Hey, It is me! This will be THE place to urge myself on, cheer me up and ruminate on life in general. Ah, to have more time....my stitching clone is missing. gone AWOL. Then I think I may have to plan how to get more hours into the day.

I am currently working on Barnabee's Quest by Just Nan look at it here www.justnan.com

That is just the first part of three, and I am working on that part. I have done the border all the way around and am on row 5. It is a cute little sampler....thanks to Julia P. my stitching angel.

I have many, many more projects to do. Dare I list all my stuff? I am beginning to scare myself. LOL
