Last Monday in August

It's hard to believe that it is the last Monday in August.  And I haven't worked in 3 months and that my Dad died 3 months ago.

I am enjoying not working.  Not getting as much done around the house that I like but going to buckle down and get things done.  I still need to finish up the basement.  It just takes long because I keep finding stuff and getting distracted.  I really think I could open my own craft store.  Plus I just love to sit and stitch.

Working on something from the 2007 just cross stitch Xmas issue.  It's just says Merry Xmas in a grid square.  I'm making 10.  Well, that's the amount of little squares I have.  I think I might give one to everyone when we go to Judy's in November.  Or send 1 to each of my siblings.  We'll see.  I keep going thru my charts and can't seem to get rid of anything.  I remember when I brought it and it brings back nice memories.

I went to dress barn yesterday and brought a skirt -- IN SIZE XL MISSES.  I haven't brought a skirt in size XL in I don't know when.  I am so tired of watching what I eat but it's going to have to be for the rest of my life.  I should have gone to the gym this morning but I'll go tomorrow.
