Been Too Long
Here I go again, letting weeks pass by before I blog. My days have been packed with work and a now-defunct project. And when I’m not working, I’m either doing some cross-stitch, parking my butt in front of the TV (been watching Gilmore Girls lately) or, of course, with my dear little boy. My nights and weekends are reserved for him. I started a few books (How to Walk in High Heels, Start Over, Finish Rich: 10 Steps to Get You Back on Track in 2010 and Women & Money: Owning the Power to Control Your Destiny) and haven’t gotten around to finishing them yet. But I still want to buy more. It seems I can’t get my hands on enough books and I just want to read, read, read. I also realized that most of the books I read are fiction and chick-lit so I want to get more intellectual reads. And I have actually thought of getting myself an e-book reader. No, not an iPad or a Kindle, but just an iPod touch. Perhaps sometime later in the year as a birthday/Christmas gift to myself. Or next year, depending on where I stand financially because I’m trading in my Asus Eee PC for a desktop.
As for the cross-stitching, it’s a hobby I picked up in high school, when we had to do a few projects for Home Economics. I’m doing a sunset pattern with a short prayer verse on the bottom left. I’ll take a picture once it’s all framed up and hung on one of our walls at home. It sounds so geeky and corny to some, but I enjoy doing it. It’s very therapeutic. And exciting to see your work come together. I’ve got an angel pattern lined up next, and looking for a high-resolution picture of the Twin Hearts. Planning to try a software that can convert pictures to cross-stitch patterns.
So that’s what’s been going on so far. More decent post(s) soon.
