Here it is, Friday again. Am I the only one who feels like time is flying by at lightening speed? Even Lily commented to me yesterday that this week has gone by fast. I'm not sure why, there was nothing going on out of the ordinary, but I suppose quickly passing weeks is our ordinary. As usual, there are plenty of crafty related things I'd like to accomplish over the course of the week that didn't get done. I've pretty much come the conclusion that my crafting/sewing can only take place on the weekends, unless it is portable. Thank goodness for knitting! My down time has been filled with it. I finally ordered the Alabama Stitch Book and have some knit fabric on hand. I can't wait to get started on that reverse applique skirt - yet another portable project. My wrists are getting a little sore from knitting, so I need a change.
Speaking of fashion, what kind of shoes look good with skirts and tights that aren't flats or boots? Something kind of casual, not too dressy. Also, I need some sort of heel. Shoes that are too flat, like ballet flats hurt my feet. I was thinking some kind of mary jane-ish low wedge, but not too clunky (am I too old for that?). I don't like clunky shoes. Now that the weather is FINALLY feeling like fall, I'd like to continue my dress and skirt wearing, which I usually don't do in the cooler months.
Can I give a big AMEN for the cool front that has come through down here? I'm so very tired of being hot and sticky! This weekend is supposed to be beautiful. I am so thankful for it!
I'm also thankful for Matt's win yesterday. He works so hard with those boys and so often they're very close, but don't get that win. They've won for two weeks in a row now. He's not in it for the win, but when they do, it sure feels good. It was a muddy, icky game yesterday, but worth being there. Honestly, I don't know a thing about football and could really care less, but my kids enjoy being there. And I know Matt likes when we go. I got to spend some quality time with Alex & Ava sitting all over me (too muddy for a quilt on the ground) - kisses, giggles, and just plain silliness.
One more thing, I don't get all this "following" stuff that I see on blogs. Huh? Every so often I get an email from Typepad saying that so-and-so is following my blog. What does that mean? The weirdest part is that this so-and-so is usually someone that I assume would have no interest in a craft blog why are they following me?? Is this 'following' stuff supposed to take the place of feed readers? I finally switched from bloglines to google reader, and that's about as much following as I need. So, if your are legit and follow my blog, please don't be offended if I don't follow back. As you can see, I'm confused!
I didn't mean to write a novel, but I guess I had a bunch of random stuff on my mind. *sigh* So yes, here we are at Friday again. My favorite night of the week. I plan to spend it like most of my Friday nights - on the sofa with Matt watching the Soprano's (we've been watching the series on DVD), sipping some wine, with knitting in my hands. It may go by way too quickly, but life is good.
