My weekend actually began on Friday. I took a sick leave day to go to my last sleep studdy appointment. I have the equipment and I learned how to use it and then was free!
I started out with my darling daughter. We ran around and had lunch at Red Robin. I had the patty melt--I always have the patty melt because it is so darn good. I don't feel bad about the calories as I very seldom eat there and I don't use all the dressing. After dropping the darling daughter off at Safeway, I ran home to change and then went to the movies.
Every second Friday at 1:30pm the Sylvan Oaks Library in Citrus Heights shows a movie and provides coffee and donuts. A movie, coffee and donuts! What can be better except that it is free! The movies are old movies--black and white. I went in March when they showed Roman Holiday with Audrey Hepburn and Gregory Peck. It was so much fun. There was a reccommendation box and I wrote down Solid Gold Cadillac with Judy Holiday and Paul Douglass. I used to lay on my mom's bed watching old movies on a little black and white television. This was my favorite. So, what do you know? They were showing my movie this month. So, I went and we answered trivia questions. Our names were put in a box and myname was drawn to take the movie home! I have been looking for this movie for years and the librarian found it at Wal-mart of all places. It was just as wnderful as I remembered it!
Saturday I spent the day with my Circle of Friends--five women I dearly love. I was working on my project--Threads, Threads, Everywhere--and I left my little suitcase I carry my supplies in at Shirley's house. If iI have the time to run out there, I will, but I have back up supplies at home, so I can wait until I see her again on the 21st or the 27th. This means I will have to start a new project. Very important because I am going to see my friend, Leah, to watch Dancing With the Stars. I am choosing Kellie Pickler, the country singer, to cheer. She is really good and she seems really nice. I really like haveing something to do with my hands, so I will be selecting a new pattern to start. SO many choices--SO little time.
Yesterday I gave my son my credit card and let him go to the store to buy a pair of shoes he can stand in for eight hours. He got a job and is a cashier in the garden department of a local store. He found his cheapie shoes from KMart unequal to the task. He likes New Balance.....
Have a great evening!!!

What I have been up to.....
I know it has been a long while....
Updates: I finished all my sleep study appointments and on Friday will be set up with my own equipment. I have had opportunities to lower our cover with Kaiser, but my husband is a bit accident prone and I have always kept our health insurance the same. Turns out that the $800.00 worth of equipment is costing me nothing in co-pays. Quite worth the sacrifice.
I have been trying to get back on track quilting wise. I have joined an online "group" making scrap quilts. All I have to do is sew on Sundays, which I already do, and dedicate my time to using my scraps. I have a lot of scraps. Still time to join in. Just make those scrap quilts and post pictures with Kim's Big Quilting Adventure. Kim is making a quilt with her scraps. I am committing to community service quilts with my scraps until I whittle down the stash of scraps just a bit. I am still working on my 30's quilt "Remember Whoo Loves You" from the Acorn Quilt and Gift Company. I am hoping to use a friend's light box for the embroidery part on Saturday. Tomorrow is Thimbleberries at Quilter's Corner. I will stop at my friend's house for dinner and then off to the quilt shop. For my guild we are doing a block of the month program where we get the same fabric each month and we make two blocks--one to give back for the raffle and one to keep. I bought a light blue batik for the background months ago, but now that I have the fabric, I am thinking I need something darker--more like a medium blue. Shopping for me tomorrow!!! The idea is that we will all have 12 sampler blocks to make our own quilt at the end.
Sew, sew, sew....
