I got this off Christine's blog. It was fun.


YOU ARE CATNIP

What herb are you?
brought to you by


Your first name of Pamela has made you happiest when you are expressing in some creative, artistic way, and not conforming to strict routine. In a large group of comparative strangers, you are quiet and rather shy, unable to express yourself, not really wanting to become involved in conversation. On the other hand, among friends with whom you feel at ease, you are expressive, witty, and quite charming. These contrasting natures make it difficult for people to understand you and can lead to friction in your personal life. You are deep, philosophical, and refined, but your extremely sensitive nature causes you to become depressed and self-pitying over any real or imagined slight. If you are not careful, people take advantage of your generous nature. You find the beauties of nature, fine music, art, and literature--all the deeper things of life--inspiring. The reserved, sensitive side of your nature brings aloneness and friction into your life, although you crave affection and understanding. You must guard against emotional excesses, which could result in depletion of energy, creating a desire for quick-energy foods. You could suffer through skin irritations, blood conditions, back trouble, and later, through arthritis. Heart, lung, or bronchial weaknesses could also result.

Omg ...How true this is....it's scary!

There is nothing really new here. Things are going well. I have not stitched since I got back from Detroit. I have done a little knitting tho, but not much.

Had someone come and look at the puppies last night. They said they were going to talk about it and call me back. Guess we will see.

Well I ended up taking an unexpected trip to Detroit. DBF got upset with me and had called me from work tues night and told me to pack my stuff and get out before he got home from work. I did it and he was so suprised I left. He didnt think I would. We had a long talk on thursday and I decided I would come back. I stayed for a few days to try and take care of house stuff in Detroit. I could not get into my house unfortunately as a lock box had been put on it. I think the ex quit making the payments! I am calling the mortgage company tomorrow to find out what is going on. I'm really bummed I couldnt get the rest of my stuff while I was there. Well if there is anything there. I have a feeling my ex has taken alot of it. The break back to Detroit was great though. DBF and I both seem happier. My being gone made him realize how much I do for him and how much he loves me. He is a show his love by doing things, not a tell you. I love all the things he has done for me but it is nice to hear the words every now and again too. I think he understands that now. I got to see my friend Marcy...I stayed with her while I was there and I got to see my dad. I have not seen either of them in 1 1/2 yrs.

I finished Never Too Big last night. He was fun and quick to stitch. I still need to decide what other ornie I'm going to do to finish up the fabric.

We gave the dogs all baths today. That is always such fun.

I also knitted some on the 2nd scarf today.

Kevin called me this morning to get my address. I guess Anna left some instructions in her note of somethings she wanted me to have. I am just numb.

I received terrible news today. My friend of many many years commited sucide last night. She suffered from bi-polar dissorder and took an overdose. I talked to her 2 weeks ago yesterday and she seemed to be doing well. She had plans and goals and was back doing her art work. She was a very talented artist. She seemed so happy. Im so confused by it. All I keep thinking is why didnt she call me!

I am very close to finishing Never Too Big. I just have the holly leaves on the right side and the To Believe to stitch. The rest is done. I still have not decided what ornament to do next.

I did get to stitch on Never Too Big last night and this morning. I should be able to finish him up tonight or at least be very close to finishing him tonight.

Cleaned Adam's room tonight. Took everything off his shelves and dusted them. Re-arranged some things a bit. Hopefully he doesnt mind.

I hope I can get some stitching done this weekend. Got most of the cleaning and laundry done already ... so as long as Mike does'nt come up with a big hunny do list this weekend I should have good bit of free time.

I need to decide what ornament I want to stitch on my last area on my ornie fabric. Then I can finish it and turn them all into actual ornaments.

I didnt get to stitch on Never Too Big last night, but I did stitch on it this morning. It is coming along nicely. I plan to stitch on it after I finish up on the computer. Got a couple things to do for Mike. He is back to hosting backgammon tournies on msn so I need to load some of his stuff back on the puter that I didnt after we reformatted.

The 2 puppies from Cleo's litter seem to be doing good. Shame we only managed to save 2 of them. With Lucky loosing her litter and loosing 7 of Cleo's pup's we have lost out on a good bit of income. Christmas will be a little leaner cause of it. Most of the family is getting baskets of homemade jam's and jellies and I've been stitching tea towels and xmas ornies to go in them too. And I plan on doing some special baking for them too. Personally I love handmade gifts....Hope they do too.

What would you do if stitching was banished by law?

I guess I would be tearing up floor boards and making false panels in the backs of closets to hide my stash. I can just see myself sitting in a room with all the blinds drawn stitching away where no one could see me. I am not a law breaker but I cant imagine my life with out stitching!

I have not worked on Never Too Big To Believe but I plan on it tonight after Mike is home from work.

Nothing else new going on here.

Wow it has been a long time since I posted.

Let's see.... We only have 2 of Peg's pups left not sold yet. Cleo had her litter on Halloween. She had 9 puppies but only 2 have survived. 1 was still born and the others died from either her having an infection in her milk sacs or when we gave her a flea bath may have contaminated the milk sacs. Not sure which it is but unfortunatley we lost 6 puppies before we realized the problem. So I am being mommy to the 2 left. Bottle feeding them is a bit of a pain.

Stitching wise hmm .... I finished Peace Tree and Christmyth Dragon. I worked more on Fortunate Traveler. Started Never Too Big To Believe by dragon dreams and a Peace Tree over 1 for a xmas ornament. I worked on a second scarf.

Otherwise not a lot going on. Need to finish cleaning out the flower beds for winter.
