Just a working schmoe

I have to apologize to my loyal readers for not posting in a number of days. I have had a very hectic two weeks. Last week I spent a good deal of time at mom and dad's house helping them with spring cleaning. We cleaned on Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I spent the night Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday. Thursday night mom and I went to basket bingo at mom and dad's church (the church I attended when I grew up). It was a heck of a lot of fun even though I did not win. The idea is that you buy three cards for $20. They play 20 individual games and the winner of each game receives a Longaberger basket. They serve a free dinner of hot dogs, chips, yummy potatoes au gratin, sloppy joe, coffee, and dessert (donated bake sale type items). All the money made goes to the altar and rosary society.

Sunday, my entire extended family attended the birthday party of my great aunt (at mom and dad's house). She turned 90 yesterday. This woman is amazing. She still lives on her own, drives, does her own shopping, yard work, housekeeping, etc. and finds time to pick up a carload of ladies younger than her every day on her way to church. Happy Birthday Aunt Lucy!

Monday I started a new job. I hate it. Enough said.

The only advantage of this new job is that I get scheduled, paid breaks in addition to a 30 minute unpaid lunch. This gives me plenty of time to do handwork. I have become a bit of a spectacle in the lunchroom. But look at all I have gotten done! I particularly like the sequin flowers and I think I am going to like the sequin paisley.
