Outside my window…

No windows in this room…  But the last time I walked past one it looks like it’s going to be a sun-shiny day!

I am thankful…

For cinnamon rolls in the oven.  Late start at breakfast today, but the chocolate milk is made, the sausages are on and the rolls are a-bakin’!

I am thinking about…
Patches…  Not the song (oh, wait, now I am thinking about the song!) not O’Houlahan (just watched Dodgeball the other night!) but about actual PATCHES.  I have been working on making some patches for a motorcycle run my dad is going to have.  If I can just get the thread to cooperate with me!

Learning all the time…
I am learning that even with my Saint-like patience, these patches are really starting to get to me!!!  Tee-hee…  

From the kitchen…
Didn’t I tell you?  Cinnamon rolls!!!  Unfortunately not home-made…  They are the Pillsbury kind, but with Cinnabon cinnamon!

I am creating…
Those stinking patches…  (Said with a Mexican accent)  Haven’t you seen Troop Beverly Hills?  If not, run-don’t walk and rent it!  LOL…  I guess it’s going to be a movie quote kind of a day!!!

I am working on…
PATCHES…  And getting some house cleaning done.  Got almost all of the laundry done yesterday.  Have a bit to finish up in my sewing room, as far as cleaning goes, and tons to tackle with the rest of the house!

I am going…
No where soon…  I don’t think?  Doctors appointments are about as exciting as my day trips are taking me.  Although we are still looking to go to Disneyland in October!  Gotta love the annual trip for the Halloween stuff!  Plus it feels like FOR-EV-ER since we’ve been there!!!

I am hoping…
To get these patches done before I tear my hair out!  And for world peace…  Yup, another movie quote!

I am reading…
A few blogs, some Facebook posts…  I’m thinking about busting out my instruction manual for my sewing machine to see if they have tips!  Ah, but then I might have to dust it off!!!  Tee-hee…

I am praying…
For patience to get these patches done!  No, seriously…  But for things in general, family, friends, continued good health…  Is it wrong to throw in a request to win the lottery?  Yeah, I’ll leave that one off this week…

I am hearing…
Sam mumbling around the house.  Daddy needs to start taking away the paci in the mornings.  Can that have an effect on how much she talks or how she enunciates?  I don’t know, but I really don’t think she needs it all the time!

Around the house…
Smelling cinnamon!  Cleaning house.  Patches.  I keep looking at the bins of fabric and craft projects that I have put off for…  Years…  Every year I say to myself “SELF!  Let’s get some of these projects done!  They would be great gifts!!!”  Do I not finish them because I am selfish and don’t want to give them away or simply because I am lazy?  Well, if I do get off my rump to get them done look forward to some fun posts on my Stuff N Junk blog!  I’m sure those projects are planning to give me a little grief for leaving them in the dark all these years!

One of my favorite things…
All joking aside…  I love my sewing!  My new(er) machine is so quiet!  I love to hear it whirrrrr.  But my old(er) machine…  Well, there is something so comforting about how powerful it is.  It sounds like a muted machine gun but I can sew pretty much anything with that beast!  It was a wedding gift to my mom from my dad oh-so-many moons ago.  I waited for YEARS to have it passed on to me.  I almost gave it away last year to my Aunt.  Not that I would have been so sad about that, she would have used it every bit as lovingly as I do.  But I must admit I was glad to have it back in my sewing room, even though I’m going to need a new table for it!

A few plans for the rest of the week…
This week we are attempting to make a menu!  Hoping it will keep us eating a bit healthier!  Working on walking a bit more.  Always working on the house.  Maybe some sewing?

Random thought…
Why do they call it Labor Day if most people get the day off from work?

Here are picture thoughts I am sharing with you….
