Hello Blog...........

Well all I have to say drinking black coffee with sweetener is the flipping pits. I guess I should not fuss about it. At this point I have lost 8 lbs so far with the diet. Could have been better but as it is doing slow most likely be better than massive weight loss could be.  I am not starving but god help me if I do not want chocolate some. 77 more lbs to go......

here we go.....today must be a day that the birds and the cat is driving me crazy....I see lots of black coffee in my future today and makes it worse I have to do the bird room today....when I say that I mean the cages. I do the floors in there everyday.

I thank God that I have a best friend that is there for me and I know I drive her crazy but we love each other. I would be so not doing well living alone if she was not there to talk to no matter of the time when I call. (within reason). I really miss our coffee chats and talking on the phone while doing housework. Visiting back and forth with each other. And SHE was the one person asshole of husband could not run off. She was there for me even through the hardest of times of all of it for a good long time. I love her as if she is my sister. You know the old saying that family is who is there and you have a bond with. Not necessarily the ones by blood. By blood the only one I count as my family is my brother. I can not express the love I have for him. He is 9 yrs older than me. But I always followed him around since I was big enough to do so. Growing up over the years he is the one constant in my life that never changed at all. This does not count the grandchildren as they will always be a part of my Lissa and therefore a part of me. My boys are a completely different story and one that I will not address here. Just say I love them and let's leave it at that.

Our weather is swinging back and forth with cold, cool and really warm............ it needs to make up its mind what it is going to be doing.

I have started a sample crazy quilt block work up. So far it is looking good. I am having to learn some new embroidery stitches that are used on them. I will be doing one block and all embellishments on it before moving on to the next block. I have 2 of them to make and I think I will make one for me if I can squeeze it in. These are lap quilts not full size ones.
This is it for today.
