Gearing up for a long weekend

Posted on February 15, 2008 by Terri | Comments Off

Friday sure got here fast and I’m ready to go home and start my long weekend. Kahuna just left from bringing me Taco Bell. Not exactly waistline friendly, but I have $1 and no time to go to the bank. There’s a Taco Bell on the base by where he works so since he got off early today he was kind enough to drive by and drop off some food. Actually, he hung around long enough to eat with me before he left.

And just to backtrack to yesterday for a minute, my Kahuna Marine surprised me! He brought me the most beautiful bouquet of creamy orange roses for Valentine’s Day. I have to stick my nose in them everytime I walk by. They are so gorgeous.

We had unexpected storms yesterday that left roads closed due to snow and mudslides. Today’s temperatures are low but the sky is a clear blue. I hope it stays that way all weekend because Kahuna has a lot of cycling and running to do. It’s just 6 weeks to his half-ironman. I think he’s getting excited. I know I am, and I’m just volunteering!

So what’s up with me for the weekend?

I’m going to do my best to stay off the computer this weekend, except to post more stuff 4Sale. I was rather surprised how fast I got the SB stuff together last night, but that’s the way it should be when you’re organized. I think my The Silver Lining items are organized already, so hopefully that’ll be painfree.
I’m going to try to get rid of some books on ebookdrop.com this weekend. If you have experience with it, leave a comment, please.
I want to get a lot of stitching done this weekend.
- Get RR piece in the mail.
- Get my lessons done on Ann Holewll.
- Get the fibers needed for Hannah Beeby.
I’ve decided to quit putting of starting HOHRH and will pull my fabric and get it measured out to start the first block. Who knows, it may even get some stitches.
French Alphabet Sampler desperately needs attention!

We’re headed to the pool tonight after supper and then maybe settle in with the puppies and watch a movie. Have a great weekend all. Oh, and don’t forget…..Gentlemen, start your engines! Woohoo!

An unscheduled day off

Posted on January 7, 2008 by Terri | Comments Off

I went out to my car this morning and found it flooded inside 🙁

I put a towel in the seat on Sunday when I went to my WW meeting because I noticed the seal over the window had been dripping a bit. The towel is dripping this morning, and when I tried to dry off the seat water just kept creeping to the top. This distresses me on several levels. My seats are leather and heated and I’m worried the water may ruin them; I cannot drive it in this condition (there’s also water leaked into the trunk on the same side, plus my floorboards are also wet). We had horrendous winds off and on this weekend and I know it’s pushed the rain into my car. This is one of the downsides to having a convertible. Plus it rarely rains here so I’m sure the seals between the top and the window dry out somewhat which causes it to drip when it does rain heavily. I’m just glad the top itself doesn’t leak.

Kahuna started his new commute this morning at 6, so I’m stranded at the house unless I want to drive my flooded car, or take his Harley, which would muss up my hair 😉

The downer is I cannot drive it to the gym either so that means instead of going early before the major crowds of people who get off at 5 are there, I’ll be going with Kahuna tonight after we eat….it’ll take some arm twisting though since the college superbowl is tonight! Geaux Tigers!

Guess what I’m going to do today with all this unexpected free time….stitch! and watch my West Wing DVD from Netflix, right after I finish the end of Pride and Prejudice. I managed to get and 1/3 of the 4th page stitched yesterday 🙂

Happy Monday.

P.S. Before I forget…I’m changing my email address. We will be moving shortly and I want to make sure I get it all switched over. So when you get a response to your comments to me, it’ll be from my new address.

December goals

Posted on December 3, 2007 by Terri | Comments Off

It’s been forever since I set down any goals in my blog. I’ll have to check what my goals were for stitching on my old blog before this month is out to see how dismally I failed at them. 😉

But, it’s December and I’m making monthly goals.

Fitness goal 1: I’m in a swim challenge right now. My goal is to swim 3,550 meters.

This is a small amount compared to some of my team members, but it’s what is scheduled for my training this month.

Fitness goal 2: stick with my training.

This is my first day, of my first month of triathlon training and it’s a bit daunting to look forward and see all that’s expected of me.

Stitching: Continue working on French Alphabet Sampler as often as possible.

It’s rather hard to stitch these days because of puppies! Bandit is so used to sitting next to me while I stitch, and Harley wants to be included. Twice last night I ended up setting my stitching aside because Harley would jump up in my lap and slooooowly slide off until she was sitting on Bandit’s head. He would get grumbly, so I’d put my stitching away so there would be more room in the chair. Then if I had to get up, like to check the laundry, I’d come back to find my fibers birdnested and an innocent looking Harley giving me a “what???” look. Stinker. Bandit used to do the same thing and I guess I need to be retrained to put my stuff very far away when I’m not using it. I’m trying not to discourage Harley from wanting to sit with us. She’s a bit of a growly girl and can be possessive, so the fact that she’s jumping into my lap while Bandit’s sitting there and not getting growly is a positive step for her. Patience.

We had a super busy weekend and it was nice. Kahuna hasn’t been able to surf because we had a major rainstorm on Friday. Saturday morning we hit the fitness center and then went to see a house. Gang members had broken in and tagged the inside. I feel really badly for the owners, but it’s obvious it’s been empty for awhile. The great thing about looking at it was that it allowed us to adjust what we’re willing to spend and the square footage we’re looking at. Afterwards we went to grab some lunch to go and headed home to watch the LSU game and Ironman. Sunday I left the house around 8:30. I made a quick stop back to drop off groceries, eat some sushi and Kahuna and I headed back out and didn’t get back home until 4. Productive day, though.

And now it’s Monday and I’m back in the office doing things I don’t want to do. My feet and hands are cold and even though I keep bumping up the heater it’s not helping. It’s causing me to drink more hot tea than I should in an attempt to keep warm. I wonder how well heated up Propel tastes?
