Why I haven't been updating...

So, you might have noticed that I haven't really been updating for quite awhile lately.

There are a few simple reasons for this and they are as follows:

• I have finished many knitting/crocheting projects lately. However I have not been posting them up on here as a finished project. Why? Well...it's my dog Sammy.  He goes crazy over lights, most especially camera flashes...I think you see where this is going. So i haven't been up to dealing with my puppy and taking loads of pictures to flaunt my needlework skills.
• The next reason I haven't been updating lately is because, as my previous post stated...I've been very busy ans stressed with my school workload. With this immense workload I have been suffering from extreme stress thus producing stress manifestations on my body. The ones that I have been feeling include: intense headache, depression, back pain,  increased heart rate, and of course mood swings. For more infomration on the affects of stress on your body visit MayoClinic.com.

So I am just trying to push through and get all of this blasted work done. This week my major school projects include: Concept map on ALL, Essay on Childhood Obesity, Midterm in Nutrition, Exam in Pathophysiology, Food Diary Project in Nutrition.  Wish me luck!

Hopefully I will be able to post a project or two on a break of mine! =)


Love you all,

My Last Weekend of January 2010

This weekend for our father-daughter time, Daddy and I went to our friend, Maynard's house and picked his grapefruit tree! I had an absolutely fabulous time joking around with Dad, climbing the tree, picking its fruit, and talking to Maynard!  I really enjoyed it and the time flied by! We ended up with about 4 boxes of grapefruit (even after Maynard took a bunch for himself!)

 

So...we tried to find uses for the excess of grapefruit supply! This worked great. Sitting in the front room we now have a smell of a hint of citrus. It's very refreshing! =)

  

Here is my handsome helper! (Okay..manager haha!)

  

I also got around to knitting this weekend. Here is the beginning of one of my projects!

  

And here is my little helper/companion, Roxie! 

She's such a lady!  I think I love her company more than she likes mine. =)

 

My focus for this week? Finish up two (GASP) yarn projects, while working ahead on my school work!

Wish me luck!!!!

A reflection on my weekend...

So, in my opinion, this weekend was fabulous!


I was lucky enough on Saturday to have some wonderful father-daughter time at the Phoenix Public Market in Downtown Phoenix!  We discovered Pammelo Grapefruit (yummy grapefruit that is more sweet/sour than bitter!). We got some lovely vegan soap and a homemade sliced sourdough loaf! Daddy got a yummmy beef tamale from the Mexican booth, but unfortunately, he missed out on their breakfast burrito.  We also ran into Maggie!!! Haven't seen her in along time and we caught up a bit.  It was great to see her.  She is a refreshingly honest, open soul.

Sunday was a kinda of bland day but still fun!  First we had church then we layed about the house in a fit of laziness...it was fantastic!

Mother had Monday off in celebration of Martin Luther King Day as did I, so we had a mother-daughter day of Micheal's/yarn/crochet/spending money, and Barnes and Nobles day! Awesome!   It was also rainy off and on and still is AND is supposed to last all week, which I am ecstatic about, to say the least!  It is absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to get away from the heat full time!

Unfortunately though, I must leave and do my Module 3 homework...bah! About half way done! WooHoo!

Oh...p.s. on Monday I finished a project for my mother dearest that I have been working on, off and on, since September (finals and transferring schools seem to get in the way of quite a bit). I shall post pictures as soon as we get around to taking them!  Also, I have started a felicity hat for myself.

Well...off to homework for real this time! =)
