Old Post that was never posted - thought I would share anyway.

My trip to the ER - June 2009.

I love to sew. In our spare bedroom I have set up a little sewing area. It was about 8:30 at night and I was almost done with my latest project. I was very tired, but determined to finish my project (more on that later).

I was working on a lining that does not have to be perfect so I had the sewing machine going pretty fast. The next thing I knew the needle was through my finger. I was a bit shocked. I went out into the living room to show DH.

We considered pulling it out ourselves and probably would have, but the needled broke in my finger so it was at a 90 degree angle with the corner in my finger. The head of the needle was still threaded.

So off to the ER I went living DH at home to put Little Man to sleep. They numbed me up, pulled both pieces of the needle out and gave me a tetanus shot.

The next day, where the needle was was a bit sore, but the places where they put the numbing medicine in hurt way worse, not to mention the tetanus shot sight. My arm still hurts. Thank goodness it wasn't worse. I had been telling Little Man all day to keep his fingers away from the sewing machine. Maybe I should have heeded my own advice.

Little Man

Here's some pictures of my beloved Little Man.

Fun at the Zoo

Helping DH

Emptied a whole bag of Goldfish into his Truck - he's so proud.

I just love him so much. 

Crafty

So I'm told that I'm a wee bit crafty.  So I thought I would share something I made recently.  I apologize in advance for the picture quality.  DH told me that in the future he will be my photographer. 

My cousin is getting married and recently I attended a bridal shower for his fiance.  I made her a crochet keepsake cake embelished with beads in the wedding colors - purple, teal and orange. 

The card attached said the following:

"There are 3 pennies inside this cake.  Two are dated 1988 for the years that you and Kurt were born and one penny is dated 2009, the year that "...two shall become one..." (Mark 10:8).  The pennies are inside of the cake to represent your faith in God and your marriage, both of which are not always visiable.  I love you both very much and know you will be very happy together.  Love, Sarah"

The bride read the note out loud at the shower, which prompted and "Ahhh" by everyone in the room.  I was throughly embarrased. 

On another note, I had someone tell me today that they cared what I had to say.  Thank you, Kerri! 

Followers

I have no blog followers. :( Of course, I'm a blog slacker! I know that at least one person reads my blog. I get excited when she says something about my blog - thank you Miss Unnamed.

I wonder, though, how to get blog followers. I also want to know how to see how many hits I've received on my blog. I'm feeling sometime spent on google may be in my future.

Motive

Today, someone I haven't talked to in months and months emailed me. The email was very generic, a sort of "Hi, how are you?" type. My mind immediately jumps to motives. Was she just thinking about me or is there something she wants. I don't mind if there is something needed from me, but don't beat around the bush. Or is there really a bush to beat around?

I'm probably over thinking the whole situation, but I can't help myself. Email is so hard to read. You can't really tell the intent of the person unless it is spelled out using just words. Humans are so much more than just words.

I'm particularly good a poker. I'm won a couple of tournaments and in home games. Probably a good $1,000 over all. My family asks me what makes me good at the game. It's the ability to read people.

You can read people, but you can't read email. Body language and tone of voice are just not a part of email.

B.S.

Yes, yes. I admit it. I know. I'm horrible.

I'm a Blog Slacker!

I think about my blog every night...does that count as a post? I guess not.

Recently, I have realized that not all people should blog. Maybe I'm one of them, maybe I'm not.

If you are promoting your blog then I think it would be a good idea to think, rethink, and think again about doing it.

My 2 cents for the day. Not that anyone cares, but me!
