One Thing At A Time ...Never

Bananas and strawberries a perfect breakfast combination to start the day with… actually any time of the day but it is when I like it best. This morning I started my day with the wonderful sun shining through the windows with a little promise of maybe having a warm day instead of the rain we have been having for the last few days but within an hour the sky turned dark gray and the hopes of a day of sunshine was lost…thought if I got lucky and had a breeze with the sun I may get out and do some weeding today but I don’t think so…

I am happy to say I have finally finished my first baby sweater I have knitted in 20 years. I had a few redoes but I think it came out pretty good. I am sure the second one will be better… I still have trouble picking up stitches for some reason… So last night I sewed the teddy bear buttons I found on and it is now waiting for Our Bean to show up to show it off. I also have the makings for yet another two sweaters one size up from this one and I found another pattern I think I can do yesterday when I went to get the yarn for the second sweater…

I am a person that can’t just do one thing at a time… usually two but many times more… like I was knitting blankets and booties and when I got tired of booties, which I know is for a bit I will be back at it, I started the sweater but finished up the blanket then started another one… the sweater is in the TV room while the blanket is upstairs so when I am not at the computer I am knitting… this last week I added yet another thing to the stuff I am doing…

It all started last week when I walked out of the shower and for some reason only realized that the Christmas bath mat was still on the floor and was not looking all that great…so I decided it was time to change this so off I went looking for a gray mat since my bathroom is gray and purple… I was very surprised to find one very easily and was actually shocked to find gray towels on special, though Flo picked them up for even cheaper a few days later… of course you know I went back to get more to discover that they actually had some purple ones… Happy I am of course…

This only got the ball rolling to change a few other things around the room like now I wanted something for the toothbrushes and things that were on the little shelf… of course where do I go for those things… well the dollar store of course… who could not have guess that one of me he he… but nothing was to be found but I did find something else… crates that were not painted… and the thought of getting the baskets out of the bathroom thrilled me to no end… so I walked out of the store with one crate and purple paint…

the next day I was back for two more… one the same size and a smaller one …. All done everything put in place… I walked into the dining room where there was yet another basket for my pills on the buffet so back to the dollar store for another crate…

me being me that didn’t stop there… I thought there are baskets upstairs which hold all my cds for the computer… hmmmm now that is an idea… so back to the store and 5 more were picked up… but now that they are done and I think they look really cool I am heading back for more to use not only for my cds but my pens and pencils and whatever else I can use them for to make that poor shelves on my actually look more organized… like that would every happen with me…the only problem I have now is where am I going to put the 12 baskets that I am not using any more…

On the news front… we have a new sister in law Louie got married on Saturday in Newfoundland to Yvonne Cooper… hope we get to meet you soon Yvonne… and congratulations to the two of you…..Lisette and Paden will be home come Friday for a visit… can’t wait to see you two… Pat returned safe and sound on Friday… and if I am not mistaken Monique is returning while Lisette is visiting… hope to see both of you…All is going good with mom and dad…Rebecca and Annie was over to Halifax this pass weekend to see Paul in concert and from what I saw on facebook they had a great time…

Well that is it… I really need to go do something before I go join Maggie and Kodak on the bed and go back to sleep… have a great one all… Joanne…
