Bad, I've been bad

Saturday, March 20 was National Quilt Day. I didn't stitch or quilt a single item. I've been feeling a little down lately so last week and this week I did some treating .... treating to myself.

I bought myself some stiks from the Woolen Willow Shop. I stopped there after visiting my father in the nursing home. Yes I know you see that jelly roll .... bought it at WalMart on Friday morning for $20.00 .... I'm just curious but the fabrics do seem to be ok.




Now a week or so ago when all the things started with my father I read about Suzanne Earley of MQResources longarm forum having a BIG sale to make room for more goodies. So, of course, I stopped by her Knots and Bolts online Store. I couldn't resist the prices ... beautiful, lovely GREAT fabric.

Now on Saturday I had these coupons for JC Penney's burning in my pocket. I can't remember the last time I purchased clothing for myself .... long long time. About 2 months ago I started exercising again (Summer is coming you know) and keeping my eating in check. I keep my GC during the summer and we live at the North Hills Swim & Racquet Club (my own DD's swam and played tennis there too). We love it and our pool manager, Linda, is the BEST. So DH and I headed to Penney's after our workouts at the YMCA to shop. Unfortunately he didn't find a thing.

I struck gold. Three (3) new swimsuits (size 10), 2 new bras and 3 new workout tshirts (size M). I'm very pleased and thrilled with my goodies.

Everyone who knows me knows I LOVE SUMMER and I LOVE HOT WEATHER ....... bring it on, I'm, ready !

Ahhhhh the adventures we as grandparents have with our grandchildren. Saturday morning DH and I were held captive ......... where, how ....... you ask ....... Ahhhhh a SWIM MEET. Oh the joy of winter swimming. LOL

Warm Ups 8AM

Meet Starts 9AM

312 kids in the 10 & Under age group

Those 312 competed in 1182 events.

312 kids which equals to about 377 adults and another 80 siblings (not swimming). 700+ in a tiny gym.

The noise was well how to put it ..... deafing ...........

Our little guy only swam 3 times.

Over .... well let's just say we left at 12:30PM

He did a super job but man it was a long time between events.

Make no mistake DH and I love every moment spent with our GC no matter what we're doing or where we at (even a swim meet) ....... heaven on earth.

NOTE: Photo at top is from this summer swimteam, North Hills Sprinters. I couldn't find a winter photo .... guess I'll have to take one this week. LOL
