Crochet Me Crazy

What I did today:

Sat with my little deer, Gracie, off and on today because she loves the company.

Normally I leave my tree up until New Years, but I took the decorations off the Christmas tree because the tree is starting to die and my ornaments keep falling off! Having a real tree keeps you from procrastinating!

Cleaned up tons and tons of Christmas tree needles. (Please, I'm tired of cleaning!)

Washed and put away several loads of clothes.

Added a few motifs to my Prairie Star afghan here and there.

Thought about making a grocery list!

Thought about how bad I need to mop.

Started reading the book "The Yearling" (How fitting that its about a deer) Yes, I'm now reading books that I should have read as an adolescent but I didn't become a reader until later in life and now I want to see what I missed out on.

Sat on a big rock behind the house and looked at the view because it's so pretty.

Missed hearing my daughter play the piano because she was gone today.

Re-arranged my crochet spot. I was feeling some dissatisfaction with my set-up. I was using the top of the wooden dog crate as an end table/crochet hook, etc. holder but I traded it for one of our TV trays. It's puts my stuff up a little bit higher plus I was able to fit my magazine rack (for patterns I'm using) under it and also get my yarn basket within reach. Now, I can't reach my lamp...but oh well, obviously, I can't have everything!

Thought about how I can fit another chair in this living room. Our living room is really small and there's not enough room for our whole family to sit on the couch so it's kinda like musical chairs around here....someone is the odd man out. It's getting old. I'm figuring out that if I can get the bookcase out of here, we could fit in a chair. Just can't figure out where in the world I'm going to fit that bookcase. (No one likes any of my ideas but I suspect it's because they don't want to move it!)

Okay, so I did a lot of thinking besides doing -- lol!

Bad news: Found out that Alison will NOT BE ABLE TO SHOW PRINCESS this year in 4-H because we missed the validation! Nobody informed us that we needed to be at this. Poor Alison...I haven't talked to her since she found out so I don't know how upset she is. She went over to her friends house today to spend the night and get ready for a wedding tomorrow. Her friend's mother is getting married tomorrow and they are baking a 4 layer cake for the wedding! It's going to be a small wedding and Alison will be playing the "Here Comes the Bride" tune on the piano! I'm proud of her for learning it herself in the past week just for the wedding. Yay, Alison!

Well, good night ya'll!
