Baby.....Baby.....Baby.......My Baby is Having a Baby!!! Its all I think about. There is so much to do and so much to buy that I am overwhelmed by it all but at the end of the day all I want to do is knit a simple little hat or booties and think about how sweet life will be when the little blessing arrives in November (11 days earlier is PawPaws birthday and 9 days earlier is Ninny's Birthday).I will post photographs of all my projects and update soon. For now, baby is good and the little Mommy is good. What more could I ask for.

November 2007
I am getting a NEW GRANDBABY!!! The Princess Quite A Lot is due on or around the 1st of November. Let the sewing, knitting, crochet & creativity begin! I must wait until JUNE or so to find out if it will be a baby boy or a baby girl so for now I am working on neutral colors. There are plenty to keep me busy, and for the record: I don't care what the baby is as long as it is healthy.
"The Shower" was awesome. My sweet PC helped out so much, making sandwiches, helping me sew, going to the store with me and even filling the goodie bags with candy. He really is the best. I should have wonderful pictures to post soon. It was a happy day with lots of love for that new baby outlaw, Jesse James.
Sunday was not spent cleaning and doing laundry. It was much better, I went to Simpatico and hung out with the girls. The nicest people really are knitters. There was a dying (in the microwave) class going on and I watched that, very cool. I have already signed up for the next class. Miss T was there. She has some great classes coming up in March and April. Miss J was a hoot as usual. She has the best sense of humor and the most uplifting laugh. You just can not be in a bad mood with her around. The owner Miss M-J was there also. It is amazing to me that no matter how busy the store is or how many people need her help she always finds time to greet everyone, make sure they are taken care of, lift thier spirits and appreciate them coming in. To go in and spend time recharges me for the week. Its amazing.
PQ is not feeling good today. I think she might have the flu that everyone is passing around.
We also went to eat lunch with my MIL on Sunday for DP's birthday. PC spent the afternoon taking care of some maint at her house. The kids got to see their Great Grandparents.
NEXT PROJECT: March 3rd Banquet for the Arc.
Huge weekend. Lots of sewing, knitting and crochet. "THE SHOWER" is Saturday so by 8pm Saturday night, I will be enjoying a HUGE fruity drink of some kind with a little pink umbrella in it! Sunday will be a day of appreciation to my family for all of their patience and help... and lots of CLEANING AND LAUNDRY. The house is a wreck. GTG was over last night and he told me that we really need some "Nini and the adorable grandson time". **The Dark Prince will be 18 on Tuesday! Where has the time gone? He is such a good kid and I am so proud to call him mine!**

100 Things About Me
I am the oldest of 3 girls.
I married my husband after knowing him for only 88 days.
Every New Years I choose something new to learn: typing, knitting, cross stitch, growing house plants etc.
I did not get my actual drivers license until I was 26.
I want to take a photography class.
I have a daisy toe ring tattoo on my left foot. I got it when I turned 35 from my daughter.
My favorite color is pink.
I want to see Ireland, Scotland, Egypt, China and Australia.
I have never been "tan" and I have finally gotten to the point that I don't care.
I am very creative.
I quit smoking for my 40th Birthday (dentyne fire gum is awesome and it will leave blisters in your mouth!)
I love trash novels. My favorites are Vampires, Scottish Highlanders, Time Travel, Witches and Ghosts.
My dream car would be a 1965 Ford Mustang: Pale pink with Tan interior and a License Plate that reads MRSCRR or FOOFOO.
I hate TV Commercials. I buy DVD boxed sets and have season marathons (Buffy, Angel, Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Charmed, Desperate Housewives).
I love to sing but I am a horrible singer.
My favorite place in the world to be is cuddled up next to my husband reading a good book while he snores (LATE AT NIGHT).
My kids are jealous of the attention I give my dogs. I always remind my kids that Kallie & Mollie are ALWAYS sweet to me, happy to see me and love me no matter what. They do not.
I love pedicures and my big toes must have rhinestones or a design on them to be complete.
I love old movies.
Growing up I read ALL of the Nancy Drew Series.
I would love to have a HUGE bedroom with a walk in closet, a kings size bed and a reading chair. I love Perez Hilton, People Magazine and Entertainment Tonight.
I want to deliver babies when I grow up.
I can cook, I just choose not too.
I was the "bad one" growing up.
I am left handed but tend to favor my right hand.
I am a G.R.I.T.S. (girl raised in the south).
I collect angels.
I cuss like a sailor.
My favorite quote is from Elizabeth Taylor who said, "Big Girls Need Big Diamonds".
I love to go barefoot.
I invented the word "foo-foolicious".
I believe that Pedicures are for EVERYONE! If you show your toes they should be taken care of.
I procrastinate a lot!I don't do morning's very well. I love to stay up late. I am going to be a Ninny again.
