Crazy Week!

I forgot how taking care of two puppies wears you out...but I wouldn't have it any other way! Little Bam ended up back at the vet's this week for his skin issues. It was a pretty quiet spring break week at work, which was good considering the home front hasn't been so quiet. First my all-region DVD player died (a devastating blow), then my plumbing went bonkers. Needless to say, not a lot of stitching got done this week in the Blair household. But what would life be without it's overly abundant and often painful hiccups?

Bam is doing a bit better today with his new food and meds. I replaced that crappy Philips player with a Sony (which just happens to have a hundred times cleaner picture with its composite connection than the HDMI of the Philips...god I love Sony!). The plumbing is temporary fixed until Monday. All and all, I'm looking forward to a nice, quiet, stitching weekend while watching the complete first series of Ripper Street!

So as I sit here finally able to watch the new Gary Barlow concert on DVD...a pup by my side and another asleep behind me, I'm inspired to post yet another Take That video. I won't burden you with yet another clip of Shine (at least this time, anyway), but rather Gary and James Corden (who I absolutely LOVE) singing Pray. James is surprisingly rather good actually! Enjoy your weekend and the video...hopefully I will have a stitch update come Sunday!

Having puppies is just like having kids!

Happy 13th Blogoversary to the worst blogger ever!

Yep, I'm still here. This is the first time I've touched any blog in months. My focus has been in the "me" world. I have a new therapist and it's still early days, but I'm doing much better both mentally and physically. Work always sucks, so that's already a dead horse. And both pups are still hangin in there. My last post was probably the last time I stitched or at least my last Instragram post was. Maleficent still isn't framed, she's still in her ziploc baggie on the kitchen table. Bad me all around. I'm getting worse at this whole social media thing, what little I do. My job is tech burnout, so by the time I get home, the only tech I touch is my TV. The thought of creating a blog post or human communication in any way is just too much. I do have two vacations coming up, so that's exciting, right? I haven't felt like sharing, so very few people around me know about these. The first is a birthday trip to Boulder, j...

A to Z Challenge - B

PART 1 - JANE AUSTEN ALPHABET-COLONEL CHRISTOPHER BRANDON A much better hero than Edward Ferrars in my opinion PART 2 - MY DISNEY COLLECTION-BOOKS Obviously the age limit on books means very little to me: Do magazines count as books? Well, they are on the book row and they are Disney related, so there you go! There are several more shelves of these and they get more movement than anything else because their weight tends to kill bookshelves rather quickly. It helps to shuffle them around upon occasion to give the poor shelves a breather.

A to Z Reflections Post

I'm going to try not to be as wordy as previous years (but no promises). I did two challenges this year, my Jane Austen Alphabet Cross Stitch project, which is now complete: I haven't gotten it framed yet...heck, I still haven't gotten last year's framed either, so there is no telling when it will get done. Thanks to my friend Tiff for her suggestion of the blue fabric over the brown...she made the right choice I think! There is really nothing more to add on my second challenge, My Disney Collection, other than I have realized that my OCD apparently isn't strong enough to focus me in one particular direction. I like to think I have a Duck Room and a Princess/Villains room, but it's more like a Duck/Stitch/Parks room, a Mickey Bathroom, a Disney-themed kitchen, a living room filled with various objects, and a Princess and Villains bedroom. I don't think as a whole, they look so bad, it just looked a bit hoarderish when I divided them up into categori...
