I Really Am Alive...

Truly, I am.

Basically, I've been fall cleaning like mad.

(The house is almost spotless!  Well, it was for about a day...

Broke things while cleaning.  Not good.)

Incurred hail damage from a storm--getting a new roof!  

(Let's hear it for insurance!)

Did some wedding dress shopping (she found it!).

Got my first speeding ticket in 18 years.

(Don't want to talk about it!)

Went on a quilt shop hop (have new fabric, must quilt)!

Had my entire family over.

Upped my volunteering at church.

Made a quilt top.

Have family visiting for about a month.

Dreading jury duty in a couple weeks.

Attending son's football games (5 and 0, baby!).

Took care of sick kids.

Worked on apples (applesauce, etc).

Processed peppers.

Bought a new car. 
(insert The Dreaded Tag Office Visit here)

Took on moderating a Bible study.

Lost 14 lbs and counting...

Well, there's some of it anyway.  I'll spare you the rest.

Most of it's behind me now and, at least for tomorrow,

I'll finally have a full day of sewing!

Please bring on the nasty winter weather,

even though autumn is the best,

so that I simply have to tell the world NO!

That's just so hard, isn't it?

Still, life is full and that is good.

I have no complaints!

But I really miss following blogs and blogging.

My reader is so full of posts of everyone's quilts!

Hope to have quilt pics of my own coming soon!
