Entry for July 09, 2006

I stitched for about 45mins or so on Stars.  Last night I started on  Shepards Bush "Thanksgiving Needleroll"  Didn't get a lot done as  I had to frog the word Thanksgiving.  But the color used is really pretty.  Its by Needle Necessities and its called Mc Aulvey Manor.   I will post the pic in a seperate post.

How many people in this country get to the age of 37 without learning how to drive a stick??  Well, you can cross one off the list.  Greg took me out on the back roads with the pick up and taught me.  He said I did better than he expected.  I don't know exactly how to take that.  Should I be insulted?  Pleased?  Just how bad did he expect.  I did stall the thing out half a dozen times.  but up shifting once I am going is easy,  I still need practice on down shifting for stops and when I should do it.  I am hoping to try it again next weekend. 

I started cleaning up the floor in the bathroom in prep for sanding it down.  Its *insert your favorite explicative here* hard work.  But that will make it easier to sand and also cut down on the crap that is getting tracked through the house from wet feet.

I want to do some more tiles tomorrow and some more floor washing.  I also want to do the floors upstairs and cull some clothes.  My list of things to do keeps getting longer.  I just need to keep my butt of this puter. 

Greg is still plugging away at his project that needs to be done by the 12th.  I haven't asked how far he had gotten.  I will have to make it a point to ask tomorrow.

I need to run.  Later.
