Hi Honey I'm Home!

You know you missed me! Admit it! I went on yet another Roller Coaster Run to the valley! Yep yep yep... roller coaster of emotions. Happy, sad, mad, elated, disgusted, thrilled, Fatigued beyond belief,and about a dozen others thrown in there too! Leaving me , well, just whipped today. I wasnt sure what to do first this morning when I came downstairs. I slept like a log for 9 hours, woke up squinting my puffy eyes and scratching my bed head. Whispering to myself, "Lord I am getting too old for this". As I checked in the quilts I picked up I thought about how fun the quilt shop was. I met a new friend, gained some new customers, and just plain had a ball for a few hours there. I hope all who are close enough can go on the QUILT RUSH 2007 this week, from Wed-Sat, hitting 14 shops and spending more money than legally allowed! The best part of the shop of course being Sarah Mompeans debut in Modeling advertisements!
As I unpacked my bag I smiled about coffee night times 2 with Heather and considered myself lucky. I am happy to have chatted with lil Kymn again, cause I know I can make her belly laugh at least twice:) It does a soul good you know? I also luncheoend again with my Gal Pal BA, who I convinced to come over for a stitch n bitch the end of this week! I will be one happy camper!
I had Great time with my daughter and her family. Aviana I gotta tell is the sparkle in my eyes, the spring in my step, the song in my heart, ok, I'll shut up ... but u get it right? She introduced me to a new toy, doodle pro, which I HAD TO HAVE ONE OF MY OWN ASAP! Talk about quilt doodling! Woohoo! I made a mad Walmart dash early this morning for one!
My grandson has grown so much in one month its hard to believe! He smiled at his Nonni, and then cried...go figure. His eyes are the bluest I've seen since my James was born!I spent precious little time with My parents, sis, and niece and nephew. We had a funfilled lunch,a short visit, and I was off again! Oh! I did manage to squeeze in a haircut for my moms Poo, Lucy! (that was fun?)
This was the first trip to the valley that I actually had no real desire to go to any of the places that I had frequented before. I didnt even hit Podestos.. I know.. A first eh? I'm so done, and happy about that too. One of the 3 "F's" have vanished. Do you remember? Friends-Family-Familiarity, were the items I was pining for. The last one being gone now. It was a wierd good feeling. I had 4 non quilting days off, but oh man was I flying... I need to recooperate! And then get back to work cause I missed quilting...LOL
Pain throws your heart to the ground,
love turns the whole thing around,
no it wont always go as it should,
but I know the heart of life is good.
