Another Random Post
I know I need to write more on my blog since I know there are a bunch of you out there that are keeping tabs on me. Everyone, including my children keep asking WHEN IS YOUR SITE GOING UP? I had to laugh the other day when I told my boys..."SOON!" And then my husband says that he has been telling his customers weeks ago that my site will go up in about 10 days. Those 10 days are long gone. But hey... on the bright side... my husband won me a Rowenta iron.
We went to his work annual picnic and there are these gifts on the table that are for the employees. They pick a number which tells them when their turn is to choose a gift. So if you are #1 then you pick first. We were 24, bummer. So I did not even glance at the i-touch or bike or trendy electronics (things my boys wanted Dad to get) and I started looking at the more modest gifts, such as, plates, kitchen items...and the iron.
The Rowenta iron. Supposedly THE iron of irons. At least, that is what my sewing teacher says. And when my husbands number was called...he got me the iron. The kids were disgusted...buy hey, when you get into the business I am in, suddenly irons, hangers, needles, etc. are important.
And YES, I said sewing lessons. So let's see... I take Spanish 2x a week in the afternoons, sewing one night a week, and I have this business. Call me crazy...but I am loving life.
As for Spanish, my brother Brian just got called to serve a 2 year mission with our church in Paraguay! So the Spanish will come in handy because when he gets back he will be so fluent.
He is going to be humbled as he serves in this country. The green chalk board reminds me when I went to school in the islands. And the dirt, oh my goodness, I am so glad I don't have to deal with that here. I am blessed.
And as for me sewing...well, I'd just like to know the language of it all when we talk about dressmaking. And it sure makes designing easier if I can sew. I know I have got things backwards...but what the heck...now I am moving forward.
So here's a picture...
Go Phelps GO!!! What an inspiration he is. Why settle for one gold medal let's get 8!
And so for JonCar...I'm going for the gold! Lots of them!!!
