MckLinky Monday ~ 5 Things You Can't Do Anymore

My lovely friend, Dawn (AKA: Mrs. Albright) has posted on the Real Housewives of Oklahoma (RHOK) blog this morning for the MckLinky. She's asking what are 5 things you can't do anymore? This is quite the intriguing question. Not really something I think a lot about. Hmmmm.......let's give it a go!

1) Cartwheels - ok, well I can, but it sure isn't pretty and it sure pulls the hamstrings more than it used to! :)

2) Stretchmarks - I used to proudly show off my midsection. Look how flat and and unblemished!!! Yeah, thanks to MY Hunter, not anymore! Which also means I can't prance around in a teeny bikini in front of people at the lake. Not that I did much prancing, but you know!

Ok, mine don't look this bad....but it sure feels like it somedays!

3) Eat whatever I want to - this one sucks the most! I have an "absurd" weakness for all things not healthy! What's wrong with eating french fries and a strawberry shake? Apparently everything. It's a good thing I work at a physical therapy clinic is all I have to say on that one!

4) Stay up late.....and by late I mean 9 o'clock or later! Ok, for those who know me, know that I have never be a night owl.ever. Combine an early to bed kinda girl with mommyhood = crawling into my flannel sheets at 8:30...if I'm lucky :)

5) Stash any more fabric/ rulers/ patterns/ etc. into my bedroom armoire anymore. My armoire door is like the magical door in Narnia for me. Currently Narnia is full. Beyond full. Solution = take over THE hunter's side of the closet! He doesn't need to hang any clothes in there/ store his hunting bow/ shelve shoes right?

Have a great Monday!!!!!!

Still Hangin Around

I haven't fallen off the face of the planet. I've just been so busy.....and honestly I just haven't been real motivated to blog much lately. I don't really know what my deal is. Maybe it's like workin out...once you've stopped for a little while, it's super hard to get back into the swing of things. I'm hoping this blog post will re motivate me to start posting again.

Christmas was beyond crazy. When you have a cute guy (yes, I'm biased) everyone wants a piece of him. It was a wonderful Christmas, but we didn't put a Christmas tree up this year because 1) we didn't have one, 2) we couldn't afford one, and 3) I didn't need MY Hunter to pull it down! So.......yesterday my Mom called me and told me that she found one at Hobby Lobby that was originally $500 on sale for $50!!!!!! AND she bought 3 boxes of lights for under $10 at Garden Ridge!!!!!!!!! Thank God for moms!

I'm still working on my Secret Santa quilt. No too much progress there. BUT one of the girls that I work with is getting married early March....which means she needs a wedding quilt! I'm using Moda's Pure to make a french braid quilt. I've never made a french braid quilt before, but Pure's pretty blues and browns are just gorgeous!!!!! I can't wait to finish it and give it to her and her soon-to-be!!!! I think it's completely appropriate choice of colors.....you know....something blue!

Also, I saw a picture from the Houston Quilt Show of this:

Isn't it beautiful! I had to have one! So after some searching I found out the The Quilt Show was offering up this BOM from Sue Garmin! This looks waaaaaaay beyond my quilt knowledge level, but there's no harm in gathering up the fabric and patterns for the future, right?!

Kitty Christmas

Here's for all you fellow cat lovers at Christmastime!!!!

Just "un"

Ya'll I am knee-deep in unmotivation. There is just so much stuff goin on with my family and the hollar-days that I have done no quilting. Once Christmas is over I'll share all the new fabric that I've bought recently and maybe I can get back to playing with some fabric. But right now......I just don't wanna....plus I have no time. Ok so really it's not true unmotivation...it's.......well, what's a word that starts with "un" and means you have no time to think, breathe, or do anything fun like quilting? That's where I'm at!

Is anyone else at this "un" place with me?

Dreamin of Turkey

I just had to share this funky dream with ya'll.

Last night I dreamed that I was standing in my parents breakfast room, looked out the window into the backyard, and saw dozens of Butterball turkeys in the white wrapping gobbling around the yard. They had heads, feet, and tails like regular turkeys, but the body was like the frozen Butterball ones you buy at the grocery store!

They GOBBLED!!!!

I don't even like baked turkey! Just fried ones, but I'm Southern so it's ok!
