Yesterday it snowed! I made an extra pot of coffee and watched the snowflakes dance in the air. It was really mesmerising and yes....it made me lazy! I have two rag dolls that are done, however they are totally naked!So what did I do? I watched it snow!!Today I have to get some dresses and aprons done-they'll freeze their little tootsies off if I don't. I am also making rag balls. My neighbor asked me if I could make her some for her Christmas tree and who am I to say no. It will really make her day if I do this little kindness for her.
I am making pizza for dinner tonight. I canned the sauce this fall and made the dough this morning in my bread machine. I know that my husband and son will be totally psyched when they get home. My daughter and her boyfriend are coming over as well.Everyone likes pizza and it really is good for you.
My dog has gotten into the habit of sleeping by the front door and waiting for my son to get home. My son has started wrestling this week and poor ol' bubba can't figure out why he doesn't come home at three fifteen anymore!He seems so restless and yes, sad that no one comes through the front door with hugs and kisses for him. I really believe that Bubba thinks he is DJ's brother.He follows him everywhere and really tries to do what my son does!
Well, enough of my rambling I must get busy on some dresses...the paper says more snow for tommorrow! I don't want the girls to get frost-bitten!!!! Blessings Pam

Local Town Idiot!?!
Just the other day I was using the computer trying to get an email from a Mary Jane Farm Girl when what? nothing.....nada...zilch...nothing. I had an important letter waiting for me; there was a note when I logged on but I couldn't get it.
I opened the mailbox and there IT was.....only IT was my letter I had sent!!!! omg I panicked I tried to hit the button again and again......still nothing..... Sooooooo, I did what any respectful mother would do in my situation I called in the troops....my kids. Acually, my youngest son, Dylan. "UMMMMM mom you have your mailbox blocked from reading your mail...see?!!" Well no, I didn't see . Please just push the correct buttons and let me read my mail.....
I remember when I was in elementary school and we took one of those tests that was suppose to test your IQ; I must have done really well, because ALL the teachers were talking about it. I know now-a-days that is a huge no-no but, I come from a small community where nothing much ever happens. Well, I always thought that was what all the big to do was about. Maybe it was the opposite! Yikes, maybe I was the lowest number in the school. Hummmmm, could it be? Maybe all of those A's were just pity grades. "Give her the good marks...she scored the lowest IQ in the third grade."
Well,computers do make me feel inferior. A machine that can do so much and be so helpful. I wish I could do as much. Multi-tasking at it's best. But my son tells me they are only as smart as their operators. So I guess I am going to have to learn not to push buttons willy nilly and hope that my computer stays as sharp as I want it to be . If not we will both be the local town idiots. Gosh I sure hope I don't let myself down!!!!!!!!!

Magical Monday
Isn't it wonderful when you start the week off on the right foot? Well I am trying to get things off on the right foot . I popped out of bed this morning at 5:15 and drank two cups of coffee. Now this probably doesn't sound strange to alot of you all, but I have practically gave it up. Well, I forgot what I was missing because I feel grrrrrreat!
I have the boys hanging new curtain rods in the bedrooms and have "new" curtains for the rooms.
I am hoping to finish my sis-in-laws wedding dress today and will try and post pictures later. The dress is beautiful and it fits sis to a t! I am so pleased.
I guess I had better stop blogging and get to the tasks at hand and keep my Magical Monday going on course.
God Bless....Pam

It's a beautiful Friday!
Remember that song? It's a beautiful Monday? Well I can't get it out of my head. It's Friday so I've changed it up a little. I have a million and one things to do today but can't seem to get started. Do you have a chore list? Here's mine
1. Change beds
2.Sweep floors
3.Dust
4.Clean off kitchen counters
5.Put away rest of groceries
6.Make bread
7.Sew
So as you all can see it is do-able nothing hard or even strenuous it's just well ..........boring? I would much rather skip down to good ol' #7 and be done with it. The trouble with that is that I feel so gosh darn guilty, that it is no longer any fun to do what I really enjoy.
I'm crazy I know ....do what feels good.Right? Well I can tell myself that until i'm blue in the face but it won't change anything....I will still not be happy until all the chore list is done.
Sooooooo.....I guess I will get off of here and start singing my made up version of a once popular song until everything on my list is completed. And, when I do get down to good ol' #7 I will enjoy every stitch I make!

Green was the scene!
I am worried. Really worried. I saw on the news that frogs are dying. Not that I am a big fan of the slimy amphibians or anything. It's the fact that i don't think i can do this on my own. I have reduced my trash by tons this year as was my plan. I use to have four trash cans and am down to only one and even it isn't full. That is quite a feat considering the fact that there are five people in the house. Anyway back to the frog thing.... I called my son in to watch this with me as I figure this is going to impact him more than me.
He half heartidly watched...not even all and looked at me as though I was weird. "So?" He looked at me with those baby blues "Mom, I don't care about some frogs dying!" UGH! My husband said leave him alone...!My son retreated to the computer and I glared at my husband..."Don't you get this? Frogs are dying by the thousands."He gave me one of those O.K., whatever looks and returned to his crossword.
I dropped the issue and have been thinking about this all day. How am I going to save the planet? I have reduced, reused, and recycled. I never buy paper towels and avoid as much plastic as I possibly can. I use cloth bags when I shop (I have learned to ignore the clerks sly smirks and arm nuggings). I walk everywhere ...my legs are fabulous! I even buy organic...no pesticides in this house. But still the frogs are dying.
I know I need to really get on my soapbox (made from old wood in the garage). I need to make my son aware of the fact that contrary to popular belief he needs to start caring and do it now. He can save this planet long after I'm gone, he can rally the troops, he can make it happen. I can only get this started. I read somewhere that we, as humans, have a ten year timeline to change all of this mess we have made. I hope my fellow humanoids do not wait until it is too late.The frogs can't do anymore for us (I sure hope they didn't have the cure for cancer or aids hidden in their genetics). We may never know why we needed those frogs; perhaps, they were here just for a warning to change our ways or we'll be next!
