My first Post and hopefully not my last...

I say that because I have started quite a few blogs only to discover that they are so darn hard for me to figure out. I know nothing of HTML and it seems you need to know at least something about it in order to get all the neat things going, like links, and photos, and favorites. I want to be able to have names where you click to go to a site and not have the html showing as it does below where my addresses are. So anyway...

Ah, a nice clean place to start. I will have to write to my family who have computers and let them know I've started this blog. It's going to be a place where I can just shoot the breeze and everyone can keep up on what I'm doing, if of course they are interested :) I have another blog over at yahoo 360 which is pretty much and will now become almost exclusive to Etsy. That is where I feature Etsy shops and put in plugs for my/our own shops. Which are www.seweasycreations.etsy.com and www.azulgirlartandjewels.etsy.com. That blog is http://360.yahoo.com/its_sew_judy I hope to get these links on the side like other bloggers do so they are accessible without always digging through pages of blogging to find the addresses. I hope pictures will be easy to insert, also.

So today was going to be a visit with Kathy Chambers, we were going to go out to moms for a visit. She had a change of plans and it didn't work out so we'll see here next time. She comes fairly often.

Instead I went grocery shopping and bought a lot of nothing that cost me $60. I had 3 things on my list but it will be a cold day in hell the day I buy only what is on my list. How could I pass up the Red Vines on sale, red and licorice, or the cat treats for Rocky, Oil of

Olay Soap on a great sale. I'm afraid I'll never stick to a list, it's more of a guide around the store. I usually put things on my list according to the lay out of the store. Start in fruits and veggies, on to the sundries, then on to the potato chips - low fat of course, beans, rice, soup, etc. I don't know how anyone could stick to a list. There are so many other things you pass that you realize you need. And if not need then WANT. Grocery is a hard thing for me to do. Fibromyalgia presents several problems when trying to shop.

The first is getting up the energy to even go. Then once you get

there you have all those prices to compare, weights, pieces in a pack. It takes a lot of work, I can't just pick up a jar of pickles and put it in the basket. No, I have to think it over, look at every single conceivable form these pickles come in, even the kinds I don't like and then once I'm satisfied this is THE jar of pickles I want I move on. And heaven help me if I find any other pickles anywhere

else in the store. This goes on with each item I am buying. So it

takes me about 2 hours to do what should have taken 30 minutes. But it doesn't end there. At check out time I find a nice empty isle and start going through everything in my basket. I think, 'do I really need this, do I have some at home, is it to

expensive, will it make me fat? That is the start of the putting things back. Or going back to check one last time that I got what I really wanted. Weird. It fits in there with what is commonly known as Fibro Fog. I live there a lot.

Latest things going on. I got another order for the Baby's Sweet

Feet. These ones are going to Georgia. They have gone to many

places and I hope to get more orders for these precious booties.

There are more pictures but I will have to put them up some other time since they are in my camera. I think they are all so cute. I don't really mind making them but I really dislike cutting

out the patterns. It takes 8 pieces for one pair of booties. Life is tough! lol I hope to get more order for these but not all together. I want to make them in Christmas colors and Fall colors too. That would be so cute. I could put little bells as part of the toe decoration. However, I've got so much to keep me busy for at least the next 7 or 8 days. So if you think of me in the next week

or so, think of me in my chair sewing baby booties by hand, none

are done with machine stitching or glue. Enough - booorrring!

Rob is having his carpal tunnel surgery on Friday the 15th. It will be done in the afternoon which I wish it were in the morning. He's going to need some help. I remember my carpal tunnel surgery and it HURT! He is being put under for this particular procedure. Mine was done with me wide away and I watched part of it. Hopefully he will not go back to work on Monday and rather rest like he is supposed to do. Will update once he has had his surgery.

I had a molar pulled last week and it's still very sore up there in my mouth. I can actually feel the bone of my jaw with my tongue. It's a really creepy feeling. I don't see how that can stay clean and not get infected with all the things that go into your mouth. Seems like food bits would go up into the bone where there is a hole after he ripped that tooth out of my mouth. That has to be one of the strangest feelings having a tooth pulled. You are at the complete mercy of your dentist. Wow, it's after 1 a.m. so I better get off of here and head for bed...
