Not much new here...I have had the last 2 days off...and the only thing I have accomplished to get ready for the holidays, is hang John's Betty Boop towel in the bathroom. He just loves that girl!! I'll share a picture of her the next time...if I remember. Yes...it's "tacky"...but if that's all it takes to keep him happy, then I'm happy, right??
Took Oggie Dog to the vet this afternoon...to have his stitches out. A quick and easy trip. I'm glad we went earlier..as there is a freezing rain warning in effect for the area. It's snowing and blowing out there now!! No...I'm NOT a winter person...but it comes and goes regardless...
Here's a hat I just finished. It's another grey one....very pretty....and a tam. If it doesn't sell, I might keep it for myself. Good neutral color...will go with just about anything I own.
Hot dogs and beans for dinner. I LOVE hot dogs with fried onions!!!! A gourmet meal. Healthier this time around....using chicken hot dogs and they ARE tasty. We had a "fancy" dinner last night...roast beef, potatoes and carrots....so tonight we'll "splurge" and eat something fun!
Until next time.....
Where is the time flying to?? So much to do...so little time. Yes, I AM a procrastinator and this year is worse than usual. Christmas will come and Christmas will go...just like any other day....
Here's a hat I finished...grey goes with just about anything. It's in my eBay store...along with a few other hats and scarves...http://stores.ebay.ca/debeeedosnewtoyoushop --- go have a peek!!
Nothing planned for the week YET...my new boss just can't seem to get a routine set up. He really needs to understand that WE have a life OUTSIDE of that damn restaurant. I really do hope he gives me a lay-off. We shall see.
Better get ready for work..hope all is well in your neck of the woods!!! More to share next time!!!!
This is "Oggie The Doggie" aka "Og The Dog", "Og The Man Dog" or "Monkey". He is 11 years, 3 months and 27 days old. Handsome, don't you think? Poor guy has had surgery on both back legs...and came through with "flying colors". But...he hasn't been feeling very well...kept licking his lips and swallowed hard. Come to find out, the poor guy has a gum infection and goes in for surgery on Friday. Needs his teeth cleaned and possible extractions...and a few warts removed to prevent more infection in his little body!! He's on a mega dose of antibiotics...thank goodness his blood work came back "great". I guess I am grateful there is nothing else wrong with him. I am so attached...he's my "fur baby". To make a long story short...I haven't told him about another trip to the vet...I know he won't be impressed!!!
Weather is just plain miserable today....and going to get worse as the night progresses. Warm, rainy and very windy. Lost power for a few minutes this afternoon...hopefully, that's the end of THAT nonsense.
Hubby left for Tennessee this morning. He went with his friend Jack...and they're delivering a car engine...for some unknown reason. I volunteered his services to help with the driving...John's always up for a "road trip". And there's certainly no pressing reason to hang around here. I do hope they're out of the nasty weather...and they 're safe and sound. He'll call tonight, I'm sure!!
Tonight I'll crochet...still have a "shit load" of hats to finish. Have a few of my own I need to list on eBay...along with a scarf. Sure would be nice to clean out the "old inventory"....
So...that's my news in a "nut shell". I worked today...not a bad day...not a good day....so can't complain.
Have yourself a great evening....stay safe...and dry!!!
eBay has been keeping me very busy...and I'm thrilled! Not only is it good for my "pocket book"...it's a great feeling to make someone happy. Not exactly in that order....
I FINALLY sold this neck warmer!! It has been listed in my store for about a year now. Although the price wasn't as high as I think it should have been...I'm happy someone will be enjoying it this winter!!
I also have an order to fill...12 hats. I'm moving slow on this one...can't "get into it". I hate the patterns...infact I had to "revamp" one entirely. When this is over and done with, I want to open up that sewing machine, and start working on MY gifts!!!
Just though I'd stick my head in and give you a big "hell-o". Hope your day is going well....I'm enjoying mine!!
Well now, you have to admit I'm doing better. It's been less than a month since I've been to my blog...
News?? Yup...alot going on...now where to start. Hubby is away. Made a trip to the Sault to pick up his flat bed trailer....down through Michigan and back into Ontario. Truck shopping!!! About time. He's been looking at trucks, calling dealerships...etc...for the last 2 months. Well, he found one, through a private dealer...in Leamington, Ontario...and that's what he is in the process of doing this afternoon. I might as well tell you...he should have treated himself to a brand new one...but being the frugal man that he is, he bought a used one. Keep in mind, his truck is 14 years old and looks as good as the day he bought it. BUT...things are starting to wear out...and you know the story. This particular truck, a 2010, seems to look brand new...and has a cap. I'm tickled for him....
As far as my story goes...I have an order for 12 hats to complete. Can't get my head wrapped around this project, but...slowly, it's being completed. I hate the patterns...but ya do what ya gotta do, right? I'll share pictures when I get them done...
Work? Business is good. My boss sold the business, and today I signed my termination papers. The positive side is...the new owner asked me to stay. A good thing, as I really HATE change. Besides...I only have 9 months until retirement...and YES, I am counting the days. New boss...nice young man. I wish him the best.
Moose season here in Northern Ontario...I hate this time of year. Yup, I AM a big animal lover!! I don't believe in killing for "sport". My opinion only...so please don't be offended. Sharing a picture of a moose Hubby and I saw last fall on a drive down to the Brockville area. Isn't she just beautiful?????
Until next time...have a "groovy day". I see I have a new follower here at "Running....". HI JUDY!!! Thanks for hooking up with me!!! :)
Hell-o!
Yes, went MIA once again. I waste too much time here on the computer and get nothing done....which includes writing in my blog.
Not much going on...made a trip to Michigan....John has been to a few car shows....and that's it. I've been working more hours than usual....which cuts into my "free" time. I'm ready for retirement.
I've had several sales on eBay! I sold 5 hats to a boutique in Toronto...which in turn, gave me a very nice order. And...I'm really behind with this one. I'm so tempted to "hire" this one out---just to get it out of my hair! Can't see that happening...
Yes...I do sound negative....and I am. Too much going on in my little world to deal with. John is looking to buy a newer truck....he can't make a decision. A battery for a piece of his equipment is leaking. He had to ORDER one in. Go figure...this is HELL-iot Lake after all. And his flat bed trailer is another story. All the paint peeled off of it...full of rust underneath. Ordered a new one...it came in to all the wrong specs. Everyone is happy EXCEPT him!! And he's now without a flat bed trailer and 3200.00. It will be awhile BEFORE he gets his new one. The one that should be happy--isn't. What's wrong with this picture.
I miss my family...hate this town...and no longer want to live in the city. Sure wish I'd win the lottery.
Have a wonderful day...tomorrow will be better, I'm sure. I'll try to get some pictures taken of the last 2 hats I've made...
My blog activity has been sporadic over the past month or so. No excuses....
So here's a "run down" of the last month or so.....
Gardening: Not much. Weather was wet--hot--wet--cold....and looks to be "wet" again. Garden is doing terrible...some tomatoes are starting to appear and a few peppers...which are supposed to be red peppers. Will there be enough sun and warm weather to turn them red????
Crocheting: Not much...finished a raspberry colored tam and one row left on an admiral blue one. Better get my butt in gear if I want enough inventory for the fall and winter season. My eBay store needs some fresh inventory.
Work: Yup...5 days a week and have been called in on a regular basis. Wanted just 2 or 3 days, but it doesn't seem to be happening.
Trips: Not to the States...which is my "top priority". I miss my family and "retail therapy". We did squeeze in a trip to St. Joseph's Island--about 2 hours from home. Went with our best friends, Barb and Dan. Saw several deer and one doe with 2 spotted fawns. Pretty neat!! Lots of pictures. And a porcupine crossed our path while visiting Fort St. Joseph.
Other than that, not alot of news. My friend, Mrs. Baker, has been moved to an independent living--quite some distance away....I miss her. But it was for the best...after all, she's 89 years of age and is starting to have some trouble...both physically and mentally.
My parents are having some major healthy issues, so I need to get down there...and, I promised my son I would come down and give him a hand with the girls. He's going through a divorce. Hubby is having some major medical issues and has appointments all through the month of August. He's currently down visiting his parents in Brockville. And there's the AUTOMOTION CAR SHOW today. He left Thursday, and will be home Tuesday evening......He enjoys this time. Wish I could have gone down as well.
And last, but not least...I have 339 days until I retire...God willing, of course.
So PEACE and LOVE to You all.....and YES...I still want to move to the country and live like a hermit!!!
Until next time...aren't they beautiful??
