Lost in the shuffle

Yep, that's me! Working 11-12 hours a day is a toughie when it comes to finding time to do something else! I've started taking an hour in the mornings for some quilting or craft room work, then an hour for some computer work..then shower and ready for real work (not to mention breakfast and packing a lunch in there somewhere). At least I've gotten a good portion of the current quilt I'm working on done..the top that is. I'll post some pics next week when I get the top finished . Hubby thinks I'm nuts. He says as early as I get up, half the day is done before I ever GO to work..were it him he'd be tired enough to take a nap before heading to the job. (hehe) well..that's not how it works for me. I'd much rather get up several hours before I had to be at work and do things *I* want to do, then go to work. Mind you that means as soon as I get home from work (between 6:30 and 7:00 pm) I'm about an hour away from sleep time! LOL. I'll have to adjust this as I go along for sure, cuz if I keep this up ..pretty soon I'll be falling asleep and it will still be daylight!

Did you say SNOW?

Yep....here are just a few shots of our snow. We are emerging from our cave. After 2 1/2 days of no electricity..I'm finally back online..whew! Why did we loose electric? Southern trees are not made to deal with the weight of snow and ice...and fall they did, specifically over the electric lines!

Explain this one..in the front of the house we got about 5-6 inches. At the back of the house, we got 8. Go figure!

Do WHAT?

Well, here it is..or maybe I should say here I am, in SOUTH Carolina..last time I checked that WAS the south wasn't it? Then can someone tell me why the weather man is telling me we are going to get between 2 to 5 inches of snow? Mind you, that amount isn't much of course..but ANY amount here is odd to say the least. (and of course, the residents of this area are not accustomed to ANY snow, so you know what that means don't you?) CRAZINESS!!!!
Last word so far, Atlanta has already begun to shut down..airports, roads, etc., cuz they are already getting the snow. (And they are MORE south then WE are..WTH?)

ahh well, winter time fun in the south..let me remind you where I work..a Towing and Emergency Break down company..with full shop. You know what that means? While everyone else is going to 'shut down' and go home......We will not be!

See you on the flip side!

Here it is Monday again

And I survived yet another week. Matter of fact, last week was a pretty busy week. I worked 4 days and one day was in the hospital waiting for hubby to get out of surgery. They found cancer on his lip (from the sun) and removed it last Thursday. Everything went fine of course it was just a long day. We had to be there at 7am and we didn't' leave till 5:30..so was surely a long day. He's home recouping and doing just fine. I spent Saturday at the daughters house and well that means on Sunday...I worked on my grands blogs. WHEW! I did manage to get two quilt squares done while at the hospital. (hand sewn that is), so I'm glad about that. It will give me reason to do the rest! LOL..

Hope everyone out there in blogland has a great week! I'll try to post later this week, (and post pics of the quilt squares) but if I don't get the chance,..I'll see ya on Monday!!


See ya next time......down on the farm!
