Wow, this interior decorating of a blog is very hard. I thought I needed to do some work on my blog, so I'm trying to change some things. I followed the directions, I think, but it's not working. Go figure. Ok, so back to square one. I am determined to do this, but I better step away from the computer and get something tangible accomplished today. Cleaning toilets comes to mind.....but, nah, I think I should probably color some more gorguss girls.

here's something that's been bothering me.

I heard on the news that the Obamas are going to redecorate the living quarters of the White House. HELLO.......have they not heard of the national deficit. I think they should come out onto the portico and say something like, "Because of our uncertain economy, we have decided to tighten our belts like you, our fellow Americans, and leave the White House the way it is, even though it is a hovel." Why am I, Sandy Q. Public, unable to redecorate my house because of my budget, and meanwhile, my tax dollars are being spent to do a totally unnecessary job of redecorating the living quarters of the White House? Bastards!!

Well, we're back from Kansas City and seeing the kids and the grandangel. She is growing so fast and so much cuter in person. She has reached the stage where we are strangers....I just hope that is over soon. Maybe I should make a life sized poster of us to send to them so they could set it in her bedroom. I start a long stretch of working tomorrow, and I'm not looking forward to it. I would much rather be home scrapping and stamping. I have some great pictures of Ashtyn, so I need to start an album for her. Yes, I know, you would think I would already have several albums done of her, but I am the great procrastinator and seldom scrap for myself.

wow, it's been awhile and in the meantime, i've of course forgotten my user name and password. that would not be a problem, but i also have a new computer that does not have my passwords stored in it. let's see, what's been going on?.......we just got back from new york where our granddaughter was christened. did i tell you i have a new granddaughter? what do you mean, i've told you a hundred times? ok, maybe i have, but i am so totally in love with her, i can't stop talking about her.

on the ebay front, i've started making collections of crocheted flowers because i love to crochet them. i recently won two large auctions of crochet thread and i am set for life. i should be crocheting right now, but here i am, talking to you. we leave for florida next week and i will be taking along my bag of crochet thread and my books. speaking of books, while we were in new york, my favorite crochet flower book disappeared into thin air. it seems as if during this time of my live, i am always totally losing things. one minute i was using it, the next minute, i placed it on the back seat, and that's the last i saw of it. i don't know if it got on to the luggage cart to take to the room. so i had to order another one. i hate when losing things costs me money.

well, i guess i'm off to crochet more flowers. i'll catch up with you later.
