June 23 Cheap Joe'sHi you all... I have been away for awhile. Life stuff distracted me. I have been popping in ever now and then just to check on everyone. Just not in a writing mood.
Saturday, June 21, I went to Boone, NC. to the "Cheap Joe's Trade Show". I don't know if anyone is aware of the show. It is put on every year in June by Cheap Joe's Art Stuff. Thursday, Friday and Saturday there are art demos and workshops. Saturday is the only day of the trade show. There are reps of major art supply companies there. They drop the price on supplies anywhere from 25 to 75% off products. I bought a few things. A few art books, wc paper, pastel paper, some pastels, and a small workstation. I don't remember how many booths, I think about 45 but not sure.
It's like a 2 hr. drive but to me it is well worth it. Several artists did demos during the show. I loved it. It is like a high to be around art and other artists. If you would like to visit the website to view the store or see what the trade show was like, here is the site..... www.cheapjoes.com.
It puts me in a creative mood. I hope everyone had a good weekend and the week ahead goes great.
Take care all...see ya back here soon. xoxo

Pat April 27 6 Quirks

Jan tagged me...This is a hard one. I know I have them, lots I'm sure. I'm having a hard time getting started here. But I'll give it a go.
#1 quirk: I can't stand it when someone reads the newspaper before me and leaves it out of order and in pieces. I have to take the time to put it back together before I can start to read it.... #2 quirk: Most people think I am a fairly social person....but I'm not really. I would much rather be at home, away from almost everyone. #3 quirk: I absolutely hate it when people drop by without calling first. It is kinda funny 'cause, I usually let the answering machine catch the call. I'll pick up if I feel like talking. If they show up I may or may not answer the door. I don't have a problem with that. #4 quirk: If I go out to a friends or someplace and I see a picture is crooked. It drives me crazy if someone doesn't straighten it. If noone does, I will. I have to...it's my quirk-a-tive. #5 quirk: I have to watch TV in bed to wind down. That doesn't seem quirky. I watch shows like: Forensic Files, 48 Hours: Hard Evidence, Impact: Stories of Survival or something like those. No it doesn't give me bad dreams. I think this one is probably pretty quirky. lol I like to put the Food Channel on mostly. Now that keeps me awake. go figure. #6 quirk: I have a had a couple of accidents, bad experiences.....I won't wear articles of clothing I was wearing when they happened. I know the clothes didn't have anything to do with what occurred....it's a quirky thingy.
Woo Hoo....I did it. Can't believe I did it. Man that's hard. Ok, I'm suppose to Tag someone now, right. If you are reading this and haven't been Tagged......you've been tagged. Have fun..hahaha..I know how much fun I had....lol Good luck. =============================================
April 16 biggest loser AliI can't believe I'm still up and at the computer. So I figured why not write something. It's been a few days since I have. You know how it is, life stuff takes over and one must take care of business. Today has been a long day. I had pt in the morning, paid a couple of bills, went to wally world, came home, got changed and go to the funeral home.
I didn't realize I would be out as late as it turned out. I would have set the recorder up to record the "Biggest Loser Couples" final. I got home just in time to see the winner of the "Biggest Loser". I loved it...I have been pulling for Ali from the start. She was awesome. She lost 114 lbs. Her appearance was such a dramatic change. It has sounded for weeks like everyone thought Roger would be the biggest loser......or Mark.....not me, I felt it would be Ali...yeah, whoo hoooo..awesome job, Ali. I sure don't want to forget Kelly. She did a super job too. Truth is everyone did such a great job. They each and everyone should be so proud of their accomplishments. Losing weight is hard to do and several lost in excess of a hundred pounds. I know I need to lose some weight but not that much. It is hard to lose weight when you have some injuries. If they can lose what they did, I know I can lose twenty or thirty or so. Anyone want to lose a few pounds? How will you do it?
Has anyone else been keeping up with this season? Who were you picking to win? I think this has been the best season to date. Can't wait to see what next BL will be like.
Well, I'm heading to bed...tomorrow will be another long day. I go back to my surgeon for a follow-up. Then I'm going to Barnes & Noble. We have coupons...yippy....love b&n coupons.
Take care, and everyone stay safe......Pat April 06 movie weekendI feel like a whimp. I caught a cold from a two yr. old. It has been so long since I have had a cold. This one has kicked my butt. It has let me catch a little up on watching dvd's. Watched "The Bee Movie". It was so good.
I saw "Blades of Glory", funny but like most of Will Ferrell very strange. Verdict: I liked it.
I watched "Ghostrider" with Nicholas Cage.....it was like something I would have watched back in the '60's. I liked him in "Moonstruck" and "Peggy Sue Got Married" best.
There are many more dvd's I have in my collection I haven't had a chance to see. Just felt like watching a few.
I have the new "Sweeney Todd" movie. I want to see it this weekend if the cold meds don't knock me out again. As you might have guessed I am a movie nut. If it is something I like I will watch it numerous times.
This up coming week will be pretty busy. I have therapy Tues. and Thurs. We have to take my mom for a swallow test on Wed. She had a Dr. visit this past Wed. I discussed serveral things with him. I told him about her choking and having a hard time swallowing. She has complained for years about the swallowing but wouldn't discuss it. Anyway, he is sending her for the swallow test. The study will tell us what is going on and what can be done to help her. He doesn't want to give her anything for the pain in her hip. (she broke it back in '86) She has arthiritis really bad in both hips. Her heart is in afib again. At the dr. office it jumped for 84 to 104 and everything is inbetween in a matter of seconds. It looks like it will do this..go in and out
I ramble on and on once I get started. Sorry!!
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. My eyes are tired so I'm going to get off the computer.
Take care all....Pat
