Pets In The Weather This Monday
Posted by Katherine on February 26th, 2007
It is super nice outside today. I took off my jacket because it was too warm for it. Zoe had fun exploring the yard until a neighbor came outside. When of course she ran for the back door. But she definitely is getting braver. Yesterday it rained and she totally didn’t understand it. Just kind of acted like I might be responsible for it and would I please knock it off so she could go out and explore?

Weekend Recap
Posted by Katherine on February 19th, 2007
My car is at the mechanics. Apparently my oil pan rusted through and is leaking. It is going to cost about $320 to fix. Really I should be happy that I haven’t had to fix anything on my car in a long time. After all it is a 99. My Sentra has been good to me over the years. Having to find a new mechanic to trust is one of the down sides of moving. Also finding a new doctor and eye doctor and stuff like that, not fun.
Pat and I went for a few walks around the neighborhood this weekend. Pretty chilly out there, but it was good to get out and get some exercise.
I finished a baby quilt for a custom order. I like the way it came out. It has cute little dogs on it. I will have to take a picture of it before I send it out.
We rented Junebug and Talladega Nights. Pat gave a two thumbs down to Junebug and said he liked Talladega Nights more than he thought he would. I am not sure how I feel about Junebug. I wouldn’t call it a favorite or anything, but I found it kind of interesting. I was the one who wanted to rent Talladega Nights, because I enjoy Will Ferrell. I thought this movie was alright. It definitely wasn’t on par with Elf or Anchorman, but it was way better than Kicking & Screaming.
Today we finally had the locksmith come out and change our locks. Yay! I finally have my own key to our house! Moses got very freaked out by the locksmith. He apparently does not like tall men with hats who use power tools and leave doors open. He first decided to take cover under the couch and then fled upstairs where he lodged himself under Pat’s desk behind his computer. When I went up to check on him, I found him back there visibly shaking. Poor thing. I wonder how long it will be before he decides it is safe to come back downstairs.
Gloomy Weather = Lazy Weekend
Posted by Katherine on January 22nd, 2007Such gloomy weather, yuck. I did manage to get a bunch of Valentine’s Day cards onto MosesandZoe.com amazingly enough.
Saturday marked the beginning of my love/hate relationship with spray adhesive. It works wonderfully. The cards came out great. Unfortunately there is glue everywhere. I haven’t figured out the magical trick to control the spray adhesive. It is way too cold to work in the garage so I have covered the floor and my work table (AKA “Pat’s First Table” which is also our dining table/coffee table) with newspaper and aluminum foil. My fingers were totally coated in adhesive, which actually kind of hurts. I tried soap, and then Goo Gone, but it wouldn’t come off. I went to Pat in despair and he really came through for me. He dug into his college art supplies and pulled out Turpenoid, an odorless turpentine substitute. It worked immediately and the pain went away, soon to be replaced by incredibly dry skin.
I am about to begin the process again, as I have cut out a bunch of owls from fancy papers and silks. Now I just need to begin gluing again… Either that or sew the satin binding onto the second baby quilt… Or take pictures of the second black, white, and red pillow that I fixed…
We have become the popular house for birds. Yesterday there were tons of them, including three eastern bluebirds, which are my favorite. Plus there are lots of house finches, and what I think must be sparrows, and doves, and these little black birds with yellow beaks, and one bird that had a dalmatian head. Perhaps it is time I went out and bought a bird book. Ha ha. Even Moe has taken to watching the birds which he usually ignores.
Where is everybody?
Posted by Katherine on January 19th, 2007I guess January is a slow time in Blog-land. Perhaps everyone is out going to the gym and cooking healthy organic dinners.
I finished another pillow yesterday, but it doesn’t look quite right. Some of the quilting looks a little pinched. So I am going to try to just take one corner apart to fix it. Hopefully I won’t have to take the whole thing apart.
I have also been working on some cards and matching lined envelopes. That is what I will be working on all weekend so that I can get some into the shop before Valentine’s Day. Seems like I am always running behind on these holidays. Perhaps I should be working on Easter themed stuff now.
Tonight we are going out to dinner with our friends Carol and Kevin. And they are giving us free tickets to see the Hurricanes tomorrow night. Pretty exciting. We have never been to a NHL hockey game before. In high school I used to go to the school games all the time. Our high school was lucky enough to have its own rink. I used to get to skate during gym class. I haven’t been skating in a long time and it will probably be a long time before I get to again. I left my ice skates at my sister, Kim’s house because I figured next time I go skating it will most likely be with her.
Yesterday they were showing kids on the news sledding in the snow. So funny. There was less than an inch of snow. The hills were totally green and kids were pushing themselves down. I guess it was working, since the hills were slippery, so who am I to scoff?
