Not so early Sunday morning

I have never been one that could "sleep in" on any morning but, I certainly wish I could. I have been up since 5:30 this morning like there is something I have to do, not the case. I have had 2 cups of coffee. played Solitare 4 or 5 times , 4 games of Scrabble 2 games of paintball all on my computer of course, who else is up at that hour ?? Now it is light outside and it is cloudy and the wind is blowing so hard that the trees are swaying so hard it makes me dizzy to watch them. "What me dizzy all of the time." Why would you think that about me ? ;*)

I have read lots of blogs this morning one, was Vintage Rose , she has a good blog.

While I was between games and blogs, I went to a site called: www.snappyturtle . They have lots of fun gifts for the person who has everything. The kitchen gadgets are cute.

I guess you are tired of reading all of the stuff. Just a thought be glad you slept late this morning !

Dots and more !

Boy, Oh Boy ! I have 28 dots this morning even one in Australia now that I am following the "Vintage Rose" blog. I am following so many blogs now that I have to scroll down my page to see them all. One I am looking at is called:" Small woman with big boobs" . What a hoot of a name... I just could not resist that one. So much for this topic.

Christmas is looming on the horizon and I do mean looming. I have one more Christmas card to make, then I will just sit here and wait. There is only one more Craft class before Christmas and the weatherman say we will be having an ice storm that day. So our next class will be Dec 30th. I hope we can make it to that one !
I hate to complain but, I just got over Bronchitis, now I have a horrible sinus infection and it is so bad I can't lie down and sleep in fact I can hardly swallow because my nose is so stopped up ! All I really want for Christmas is to feel better. At least I have hot water, poor Lori and family. Aka Addie. I promise not to complain in my next blog !!

Gift Idea

Here is a gift idea I found on "Sparkpeople" this morning.

Bath Salts:

6 cups of Epsom salts
2 cups of table salt
4 cups baking soda
Large jars with lids
Essential oils--- lavender, vanilla, peppermint just to mention a few. They might not be good all together. ;*)

Mix salts and baking soda together in a large bowl
add oils until the scent of salts reaches desired strength. Mix well with spoon, then put salts in jars. ( bonus, print custom labels for your fancy bath salts.)

Glitter, Glue, and paper !

Well, if I am going to finish making Christmas cards I better do it soon or I won't have to make them...um.
I have my tools where they need to be before I start, now I have to try and match paper, glitter and all of the extras I put on them. I really don't want people to think I did them in my sleep !

I would love to send all of you a Christmas card but, since I am not a wizard, I had another idea.
Addie has the one I made for them and I hope when she reads this, she will share her's with you. How about that ? Have a happy day.

Tattoo please..

Well, we only go around once and at age 70 it is going faster and faster.

Lori, Kevin, Jared ,and Tyler went along to see if I was going to cry ( I had been told that getting a Tattoo hurt a lot.).

First, I had to pick out the Tattoo that I wanted which was a dragonfly, we flipped through a lot of pages looking for the "right one". The one I picked was bigger than I wanted , so they shrunk it down to an acceptable size. Now it was lunch time and my appt. was 2:30.

We found a "Mellow Mushroom" and ate the best pizza I had ever had in all of my days. After a short trip to Garrett's business for a look see. We headed back for my tattoo, with all looking on the game began, first one color. followed by five more colors. I did not shed one tear ! It stung a little bit.

Wallah, I have a tattoo of a Dragonfly on my right forearm !

Next year who knows??

Dots and Jeju

Boy oh, boy, when I got back home I had 15 dots on my cluster map. Maybe I should take more trips !

I hardly know where to begin with my "Jeju" story but, it was no surprise that I was going to have to shed a lot of clothing to get any real benefit from the pools of water, one ice cold, one warm, and the other very hot according to Lori (aka Addie.) We went for the warm one and I will never have to shave my legs again the water was warmer than warm !
I was surprised that my new "Tat" was still on my arm.

Inside Jeju was beautiful, the saunas had different themes and designs inside and out as well. The marble floors were warm I was thankful for that because we had to take off our shoes at the "get go." I am still reeling over having to take off all of my clothes !!!!

Back in hillbilly heaven !

Hey, I am back from Lori's ( aka Addie's)

Thanks, for all of the the comments on the v. words. I play Scrabble a lot, what do y'all think about a Scrabble word game just using v. words ? Crazy thought, yes or no ?

Lots of "trip" blogs coming up later, but, for now I have to get ready for my scrapbooking day in Berryville with my friend Doris.

If anyone of you want to fun trip, go see Addie !!!

Good morning my wonderful daughter, and son, Kevin. It was a blast. Have a safe trip home Kevin.
