Misc. Post... :~}

This is just a little check in... Nothing big has happened in the past week. The only thing that has been a constant is that during Monday through Friday of last week Jamey and I were both sick! Yeah, how exciting are we? :~) It was one of those nasty stomach bugs that hang on and on... It was good in a way cause it kept us indoors and away from anything that resembled spending money! :~)

This morning Jamey is off to Charlotte for a preachers meeting. It's a good way to meet more of the area preachers. Jamey is trying to get me something nice for my birthday. He didn't get one thing that he really wanted for me... A real piano! Isn't that just so sweet? I already have a keyboard but Jamey knows how much I'd love a real piano... :~)He saw on-line that there was a piano in good condition and here is the best part, it was free! :~O Unfortunately, someone else beat Jamey to it. I'll just have to wait on the piano for now. You know I would have liked the piano but it's really the thought that makes me smile! :~)

Yesterday was our pot luck at church... I made chili. I was counting on it being a little cooler than it actually was... It had been feeling like fall last week, but could it stay that way? NO! :~( I was talking to someone last night and they said that November might feel like fall! :~O Great, that will be the time I'll be thinking that there should be snow on the ground! :~p However, after visiting my family I'll probably be thankful for the warm weather.

This Saturday I'm planning a young adults get together... Planning is not something I'm incredibly good at, but I'll do my best! :~) We're going to eat at a really good seafood place then go bowling! I haven't been bowling since the first time Jamey came up to see me a year and a half ago! :~o There is this couple that is going to be going to Germany... The husband is in the military and they are going to be leaving around the 8th, so I wanted to do something before they left. Hopefully we'll all have a good time! :~)

I've started sewing and made a dress. I'll have a pic a little later. It's cute and it looks like some of the stuff that is out now... At least I think so! :~) Course my taste isn't the best! :~o I'm going to do some more sewing this week... So I can have more clothes, just what I need! :~} It's stretchy material so I was using a stretch stitch, but my needle was a little dull! I didn't realize it until I was half-way done and furious at the machine cause it was causing holes in the fabric every now and then. After I figured out that was the problem it was a piece of cake to finish. :~} I have one more dress and two tops that I want to finish... :~)
