Christmas Part III

I had a good time with Dennis. Ok, I will tell you his real name, Steve. I had spend time with his family and I am glad that I did. I had fun and talked to them. They remind me of my family. At my house, I saw the light blinking on the phone (meaning someone called me). As I looked at my caller ID, I saw that my ex called me. Pay in mind that this ex had not called in a few months. Of course, I was upset about that. I am glad that Steve was there, as he hugged me. I just wanted to be in his arms. I feel safe in his arms also.

Christmas part II

Well, I gave Dennis his gift (a canvas work shirt) and he loves it! I have it in the right size and it fits him perfectly. My co-worker asked for his size and then she told me. Now he knows why she asked him for his size, LOL. I am glad. He looks good in that shirt and deep down, I am glad I got it for him.

Christmas

What am I doing on Sunday on Christmas? Church and spend some time with Dennis and his family. The other would have been to go to Toledo to spend time with my nephews. My sister should realize that I have a life of my own now and have a sweet boyfriend. BTW, Dennis was the one who asked me. I told him that I would talk to my parents and now, I am going to meet his family. Dad can take my digital. I have to teach on Sunday, and take down communion.

Update on my Relationships posts.

I am now seeing Dennis. We had two dates already. One thing, we are both cheap dates, LOL. I am happy what he is doing and he is happy on what I am doing. He is a sweetheart. We talk, hold hands, things that couples do. I am now beginning to like long good byes, LOL. We try to keep our work relationship and personal relationship seperate. I can't wait to see him again.

Snow

We have snow on the ground. Not that bad out, I just have to be careful. I had fun watching Emilee playing in the snow. The snow goes up to her belly. It is so cute. She is a Pommie. I was out shoveling the driveway. It is about 5 inches or more. But, it is 37 degrees, so I have to deal with heavy and melting snow, yuck! Especially under that tree. Oh well.

Some news

I had just received news that my grandfather is now in the nursing home part of the facility where he is at. He is not happy about it, but, he has no choice. Grandfather is 89. He really wants to die and it is hard on me to see that. It happened three weeks ago and my aunt failed to let me know when it happened. Oh well. I don't get along with that aunt. My parents asked me about the nursing homes, as I am an expert, all thanks to what I used to do. He is failing in mentality. I think it is dementia. And he is very weak. I will send him a card for Christmas, maybe with some quilling on it.

Grandmother is doing fine in that apartment. From what my aunt said, she is happy. Maybe I will tat her something for her birthday, something small. I might give her a call. I am closer to her than to grandfather. My grandmother was the one who kissed my hand and told me that she loves me. I was moved to tears, as I love her too. She will be 90 next month. It is my love reading and my love of cats that I had inherited from her.

Deep down, I realize that grandfather likes to be in control. That is why he is not happy. He is very stubborn. I do love my grandfather. But, now I know what other families are going through. I need my friend to help me get through this. I need him to just telling me it is ok.

But, I am putting all things through my Lord. He is my rock of salvation. I know, I will be crying today at work. But, all I can do is send him a card. Hmmm, a pic of Emilee in her Halloween costume will do the work. He might smile at it.

Madagascar

Ok, I had seen that movie and I thought it was funny. That lion cracked me up. My mother like the zebra. I thought it was a very kid-friendly movie.

Stitching Questions and Answers from me.

Do you have rules in the way you stitch? (i.e., Do you start in the middle? Do you determine which blocks to stitch first? Do you always start from the top or the bottom? Do you have special paths to prevent wasting thread?) I always start in the middle. I always stitch in sections, like the project that I am working on. I am doing the leaves first, then the candy corn and pumpkins. I did one side first and is working on the other side.

Do you always sign your projects? If not, why? If so, do you use your first name, initials or what? I don't usually sign my projects. I just don't make a habit of it.

How do you feel about staying totally true to a pattern? Do you feel that you have to rip out stitches to fix a mistake or do you feel it’s acceptable to incorporate a mistake into the design? I rarely change the pattern. I stay true to it, unless it is a color I don't like, then I will change the color.

When comparing large projects versus small projects, which do you get more excited about finishing? Any project that I completed.

If you have stitched for a while, can you usually pick out the DMC colors you need from memory when you go to your LNS? (For example, you know that 610 is a brown.) Not really, I just grabbed my list and shop for floss.
