7 days to go!!!

I saw this one somewhere, and I thought it was too cute!! It's titled "Cat Fight", but I see no hair flying!!

My cats, may not look like this, but I do have one cat that actually does attack sort of like that white and orange cat is doing! Just lays back and wallops the other!

Well, I'm happy to announce, I only have 7 more days to go!!! I am getting so excited!! Especially since this week, the weather is going to be very very bad!! Highs just in the 20's and the lows in the teens and single digits!! Too cold for me! I want to be where it is warm and dry and comfy!! I am praying there will be no rain the whole trip. I don't care if it rains at night, after we are all tucked in our beds, but not during my pool side time or during our stops!

Oh, the newest news!! I have been asked to donate 2 of my Passione Ricamo pieces to the European Cross Stitch Company's booth at the Nashville Market this year!! I am donating Queen of Fairies and Mediterraneo. I will be sending them out in the mail early this week. I am so excited! Apparently this is one of the bigger trade shows out there. Plus I get 50 bucks store credit. I did ask if I get double store credit since I have 2 pieces in the show, but haven't heard back yet. That would buy me some stash for sure!!

Not much going on at the home front lately. DH still is searching hard for a job, but still nothing! He did get his "Pre-exhaustion/Application for Emergency Unemployment Extension" on Tues, and he filled it out and I took it down there on Wed. Didn't trust the mail, plus I knew what would happen if I mailed it. I would have been driven crazy by my DH. "Do you think it made it there." "How will I know I am getting anything?" "How do I know they got it?" etc etc etc. So, to save what little sanity I have left, I drove it down there and handed it to the lady at the window. The next day, I told him to call there and check. He found out he will be getting the additional 13 weeks, plus an extra 7 weeks!! That should put us up through June or so.

DD still has not come down from cloud 9 over her engagement!! She has been showing me dress after dress after dress!!! Unfortunately for her, I'm not what you call a fashion diva! My idea of getting dressed is to throw on jeans, boots, and a sweatshirt or long sleeved Tee and flannel shirt and heading out the door!! I am not high maintenance!!

I just finished the Twilight series for about the 5 time now. I have no new JD Robb books, no new Twilight books and no new Sookie Stackhouse novels to read!! I don't even know what I'm taking on the cruise! Pitiful!!

I did watch this hysterically funny show earlier this evening. It's called "Over my Dead Body" and it was so funny!! there were some sad spots, but mostly funny! Enjoyed it immensely.

It has been raining here all day long. If it had been about 10 F lower, we would probably have about 6 inches of snow!! Which would totally close this town down!! I don't think our salt truck even works.!

Nothing much else to say, so good night! and Happy Stitching!
