Oh My Goodness, The Brighton is Done!!!

The Brighton Bag is done.. I finished it the end of May... I will have to say that it was worth all the blood sweat and tears that I went through to use it on a daily basis... I absolutely LOVE this bag!!!!! It is BIG and spacious and I could not be happier... My wrist is thanking me that I am done with this project.

It took me about 2 months to finish this bag because of the pattern stitch... I could only do about 2 repeats before my wrist was hurting...

I started on the Everlasting Bagstopper and will be done with that bag shortly... I will definitely be using this bag for the summer months to hold sunscreen and pool stuff...

My boys are out of school and they are about to start summer school... We have Open House tonight!!! They are so ready for summer.. The weather in the Midwest has been exceptionally weird for the past couple of months... Right now we are dealing with LOTS of Rain and Thunderstorms... It is Tornado season!!!! You are always on guard... We have had Tornado's hit when it was nice and sunny outside with no looks of rain in the forecast. Missouri has such weird weather... Right now, it is HOT, HOT, HOT and Humid.. It is suppose to be 92 today... But it looks like it is going to rain....

We have been so busy with our store and racing for the past month and a half that I haven't had much time to relax...

My Hubby had Lasik done a little over 2 weeks ago... I bought 2 NEW EYES!!! (At least that is how it felt when I seen how much I was paying) We opted to go with the Lifetime plan (Custom Lasik) where we would not have to pay again for any future enhancements!!!! The first day was a pain in the behind!!!! He could not fall asleep after the surgery... I tried everything besides a tranquilizer to make him fall asleep... It took about 6 hours for the pain to finally subside and he could open his eyes... The first time I could pry his eyes open to put his antibiotics in, his eyes were bleeding... (TALK ABOUT SCARING THE CRAP OUT OF YOU) When putting the suction on his eye to cut the lense, his blood vessels broke... He still has an eye that is blood shot a little.

The Next morning, he felt like a million bucks... He woke up about 4:30am. ( I guess to look at himself in the mirror for a couple of hours...hehe) It has been so cute lately because every second he has, he is outside looking at trees (the leaves on the trees)... He has worn glasses since he was in 3rd grade... Every night he looks at me with a smile on his face and says, "I just feel like I need to go take my contacts out." LOL!!!!

Last night, we were going to bed and I seen him grab for his glasses on his face to put them on the night stand.... ROFL!!!! I asked him, " Did you just try to take your glasses off? LOL" He told me every night he does it out of habit...

I asked him what he wanted me to do with his prescription glasses and sunglasses and he told me to keep them.... ( I don't know what for since his eyes are at 20/25) The day after surgery he got to buy his first pair of cheap sunglasses... I am so happy for him!!! I have been begging him to do this for the past 5 years... If it wasn't for me, he probably would have backed out at the last minute again...

Sorry this has been a long post. I know it has been forever since I have blogged and I guess I am trying to make up for it.... My Bagstopper will be up soon...

Have a Great Day!!!! Ü

I have some pics of some FO's

It has been so weird in Missouri.. We have had some strange weather. One day, it can be 75 and then the next 19 degrees.. We have been hibernating in the house and on the nice days trying to soak up as much sun as we can... We had almost 3 inches of rain in the last couple of days... The ground is saturated...

I have all these patterns in line to knit but my attention has only been for short and sweet projects... What better way to use up some sock yarn...

I have the squatty bag and the Hedgehog on my list this month to finish. Plumpy and I are knitting something once a month together... This month we are doing a felting project. We decided on the Hedgehog. I just have to figure out what kind of colors I want to make him.

Poor Plumpy has been taking care of her son and now she has the Yuckies... Poor thing!!! I hope you feel better...

It would be nice if we could be in Florida right now with some 85 degree weather...

My boys are about to go crazy been stuffed up in the house... The Guitar Hero has been keeping them busy but you can only listen to the same songs for so long. We are taking the Wii over to my MIL's house Saturday to bowl and have dinner... I think they will enjoy playing and getting some activity since it is only going to be 19 degrees... BRRRRR!!!!!

I am so ready for SPRING/SUMMER!!!! That DARN Groundhog!!! What does he know.. He just wants to sleep and be left alone... I guess it is bad for us...

Stay Warm Ü ( As I type on the computer with gloves on....LOL)
