Good morning Spring Valley, and oh ya the world. Tuesday, the second day of the week and not to hump day yet. I have another ear appointment today. The ear is still clogged up. Along with the washing machine at Chalmers street. That is my Rental in central San Diego.
The good news is that the Lemon tree is loaded with lemons, Which my friend Gretchen will love.
I do not use chemicals on the tree so I guess they are organic.
When I cleaned up my guest room which is also the quilt storage room, I notice that I have a bunch of quilts that need binding. so i have started doing those. That will keep me busy for months to come.
I still have not won the California lottery so I guess I'll have to continue working hard on all stuff I have to do.
With 71,00 people winning $1.00 amounts and the winning amount being over 120,000,000 million I better not plan on winning.
since I have not been able to exercise for over a month as a result of the ear infection, I find myself getting very sleepy again. It is from the lack of exercise. I often wonder how I ever made it working full time.
Well I have to get dressing so I can sit around and wait for fedex to not show up until who know when.
Have a blessed and wonderful day.

December 27,2009 Sunday
Thank the lord for all his blessing, Christmas is over for another year. I swear I am going to start a collection of presents all through the year. There for by the time Christmas rolls around I can go shopping in my closet. Christmas is so busy and there are always so many comments I just start to go nuts, like everyone else.
Friday I went and bought Bird seed for the wild birds in the back yard. I could fill up the bird feeder everyday and that would still not be enough. It is great however to watch the birds feeding happily on the bird feeder. The swoop from the tree to the bird feeder and back to the tree.
About 2 doors over there is a winter collection of wild parrots. They come inland in the winter and stay in a very very tall pine tree. Wild parrots make alot of noise, it is like living in the jungle. Then around March they head back toward the beach communities. There must be over a 100 wild parrots. Sometimes I cut up fresh fruit and place it on this tall parrot feeder stand that I made. the parrots come and eat the fresh fruit, circle make a bunch of noise, that must be their Thank yous.
Around dusk they all return to the tall pine tree and settle in for the night.
I got up this morning and started cleaning the house about 8:00 am. With 2 dogs and 4 cats, vacuuming is something I have to do about ever other day, them mop the floors, then polish the floor and dust.
The house stays looking and smelling nice for about 1 day and I start all over.
This afternoon is my holly day. I get to sit and sew for the rest of the afternoon.
My girl friend Gretchen took pictures of the cats and then fixed they up on her photo shop and here are the results. I am going to send some of these to Costco and have them printed.
Well my floor mop is callig me back to work. Them the sewing machine.
Have a wonderful blessed day.

Christmas Eve
Today is Christmas eve, I am just starting to wrap presents. I went out to get one last present and braved the driving and parking, what a nightmare. I also had to go by the pet store and get wild bird seed for my children in the back yard. When I am out of seed the birds get very cranky
and noisy.
I also called Mr. man he did not answer to wish him happy holidays.. Hearing his voice sent me into another downward spin....for a few hours. It is so hard when 2 people who start off with such a nice friendship end not talking to each other. I guess that is why there is so much despair in relationships. One person is honest and the other not and their friendship ends being fractured.
I came to the final conclusion that he is insidious, which means developing so gradually as to be well established before becoming apparent. waiting for a chance to entrap.... then dissipate.
A while back I complained that quilters should not use their blog to voice their problems in real life, but that is what I use mine for.
Well i have all the Christmas wrap up from the garage so I better get wrapping or I will be at it till tomorrow morning.
As usual Freddie wants to sit in my lap while I am working and thinks as a small doggie that is his right.
I have not had a chance to sew a thing since Christmas has taken over my life with getting all the things done that need to be done by Christmas morning.
Have a great and enchanted Christmas day and may all you dreams and wishes come try.

Hi,
It is Sunday morning. Last night I was making mashing potatoes and forgot and put the skins down the garbage disposal and guess what it got clogged up again. So, today after church I get to clean out the U trap. What a joy, Life is supposed to be better after you retire, no worst.... ! It has been raining here in San Diego all week, which I know we need but the dogs and cat are going nuts.
Tacocat especially, she wants to go out and kill, kill, hunt, hunt, kill and is stuck in the house as she hates getting wet feet.. The dogs, Freddie and Ginger also do no want to go out and I have to pick them up and carry them out to do their thing.
Last night I almost finished binding another quilt for a gift for Christmas... That makes about 20 quilts this year. If I sew my way out of the sewing room it should only take me another 20-30 years, unfortunately I will not be around that long, so I am making fabric packs to sell on Ebay of fabric. Lots and lots of Cat fabric.
Well I better get moving along to get on with the day.
Have a great Sunday. Do not get the sink clogged up.

Monday Dec 7th, It is pouring rain. I am numb.... The dogs do not want to go outside because of the rain.
I worked really hard yesterday getting alot of different things done as I knew today it would be raining. The finished putting up more Christmas decorations, put away the boxes the decorations were in. Then I went to the apartment building and cleaned up the yard, empty my trash from this house. Vacuumed and mopped floors here. Cleaned the kitchen, brought wood into the house for the fireplaces. I really worked hard.
I know there are going to be alot of car wrecks today, people in San Diego do not know how to drive. I have to go to the bank to make a deposit and hope that I can make it there and back safely.
I would like to find and outdoor covered area where I can take the dogs to do their stuff. Close to where I live. No ideas come to mind.
I also intend to stay home and finish binding some quilts. Well I have so many plans for the day I had better get busy.

December 6th 2009
Today is Sunday Dec 6th. It has been a month since I split with Mr. Man. I know that I did not do anything wrong. I have had so much time to do things I could not get done with him around because as you know when a man is around you have to entertain them.
After church today I have a long list of things that need to get done before I can go into the Quilt Studio and get to the real work of the day.
It promises to rain tomorrow so I need to go to the apartment building and pick up any trash left there today so that it will not be a muddy mess. I need to take my trash there and empty it, so the cans here will be clean.
Finish put up the Christmas decorations and them start clean up the storage boxes that I keep all that stuff in. The list goes on.
Yesterday I vacuumed the house, mopped the floor, dusted around the house, cleaned the kitchen, and then went and meet Andy my quilter friend. We really have fun talking about quilt ting and since he is married and happy there is no pressure.
Well is is 9:30 so I need to run to get to church. Have a great Sunday and wonderful holiday.
True friends stay by your side through thick and thin, the other ones are just passing by.

Friday Dec 04, 2009
Hello,
Where did the week go? I have been busy all week, but just do not know what I have accomplished.
Everyone else on the block has their Christmas lights up, so Today I guess I have to get on the stick. I also however have to go pick up another quilt from the quilter. I had made this flannel quilt for my man friend, but then we had a parting of the ways, so now it is just another one in the stack waiting to be sold at this years quilt show.
My little dog Freddie is a special dog. I adopted him from the shelter when no one wanted him because he has a problem with his back legs. He is so sweet. At 8:00pm. at night he puts himself into bed. He usually wants me to come along, but if I am busy he just goes up the stairs that my friend across the street gave me and gets under the blankets. He also does not want to get up in the morning until it has warmed up.
All my friends now want to take Freddie home, he is very friendly and loves to kiss.
Have you heard the story about Susan Boyle, the underdog that turned out better than the winner. I have not got her album yet but intend to do so very fast.
well I have to get busy and get going, another day of sewing and oh ya getting those Christmas light up.
Have a great day.
