Some old friends showed up on Monday.  It was nice to see them.  Lucy and Donnie.  I used to work with Lucy for quite a few years.  It is so weird how time seems to fly by.  I used to hate working at that place due to the work but I do miss the people.  I still talk with Mike alot.  He is pretty much the only one that I talk to.  Hopefully lucy will keep in touch.  She was telling me that she has not stitched in years.  She may be selling off her stuff and I have first dibs at her afghan material. I am almost completely out and I can not really afford to buy it from because you count.  My daughter found a chart that she liked and wanted me to stitch it up for her.  It is a quick stitch, I should be finished today and will post the picture.  It is really cute.  :)

My little guy goes to school today at noon.  He is doing this for the next 5 weeks.  It has been fun for him and he seems to enjoy it.   My daughter is doing good at school.  She had to have a eco project for earth day.  So she made a bird feeder out a chocolate milk carton.  It was really cute.  She is really into saving the enviroment.  She really cares which I find is rare for someone so young.  

More reno plans for this weekend include starting on the bathroom.  We also have to fix the bricks under the window in the front of the house.   Also on deck is to get more insulation for the attic and to tear the drywall out of the basement and put more insulation and then replace the drywall.  It will be a busy couple of months but it should be fun.  The best part is that each week we are using cash to buy the materials.  No credit card no credit line just cash.  Pay as you go.  If I have enough to do something I will, if not we wont.  No more running up debt.  :)   I refuse.   I hear stories of people going crazy doing renos and using credit lines and then having to pay for that new kitchen/bathroom/basement for the next 20 years.  Not me.......anyway got to run and get my guy ready for school.  Thanks for dropping in.....

Wow, I haven't seen Lucy and Donnie in AGES. Hope they're doing good.

Funny you mentioned the whole renovations and debt thing, that's exactly what we plan to do...renovations and increase the debt! lol We don't have much choice if we're going to move. Hopefully we'll get done this summer what we need to in order to get out.

Keep posting sista...
