Day 257: Toby Time

Rodney spent the night at Mom and Dad's house to get to know Auggie better, so Toby and I had some quality time.

Day 256: The Mutts

Day 255: Ed & Rodney

Ed came over and shoveled the driveway, then we watched the movie The Departed.

Day 254: Sick

I don't know if I'm sick or if it's allergies, all I do know is that I feel like hell. This is my illness fighting arsenal: Lysol, hand sanitizer, orange juice (with added calcium), chicken noodle soup (low sodium), water (fresh from the new PUR water filter installed on the kitchen tap), immune booster shot (it has 15 different vitamins in it), tissues (Puffs Plus Lotion), Care Bear chapstick for my raw nose (not the same brand I use on my lips), and Advil Cold & Sinus (because Rite Aid was out of the store brand).

Day 253: February Birthdays

Had a little get together for Mandy and Nina's birthdays. We played Phase 10 and it took forever! [L to R: Marc, Mandy, Dennis, Nina, and Dan]

Day 252: Quilt Tags

I ordered tags to attach to quilts that I sell on etsy.com like the safari quilt.

Day 251: Lily Vanilli

Lily was sick, so I stayed home with her and worked remotely. We watched Yo Gabba Gabba all day. I feel brainwashed.

Day 250: Zippy

Cleaned Zippy's tank.

Day 249: Help with Homework

Rodney and Toby really wanted to help me finish my paper so that I could play fetch with them.

Day 248: Any Given Monday

Day 247: Next Quilt

Since the safari quilt sold on Etsy, I thought I'd make another quilt to sell. Here is the fabric I picked out.

Day 246: Snowfall

Day 245: White T-Shirt Day

Today is White T-Shirt Day.

Day 244: Rodney Time

Toby spent the night at Dad's, so that he could spend some time with Auggie. So, Rodney and I had some one-on-one time.

Day 243: Me

Haven't done a self-portrait in a while and thought I should post an update on my "growing out my hair" progress.

Day 242: Blue Skies

[This photo is completely unedited.] The sky out the back door was beautiful, so I opened the door long enough to snap a picture (it's been quite frosty lately).

Day 241: P&P

Reading Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice for school. I listened to the book at work, now I'm reading the annotations in the book. I love this book.

Day 240: The Boys

Ed and Carrie aren't looking at the camera, but the boys are looking, so I had to use this picture. Left to right: Toby, Auggie, and Rodney.

Day 239: Midland Brewing Co

Sarah and I went to the Midland Brewing Company and discovered that they have the most amazing beer. Sarah and I got the sampler and found only two of them to be unappetizing. The Midland Pale Ale, Dublin Street Stout, and the 3 Mile... something or other were my favorites.

Day 238: Winter Quilt - done!

I finally finished my winter quilt that I started in winter 2008. Tonight I will get to see how warm it is.

Day 237: Roman Shades

I put up the Roman Shades in the bathroom and Ashley's room. Now, I just need to put up the ones for the rooms upstairs and the office.

Day 236: Snowpocolypse 2011

We got a TON of snow and with the wind, there was a lot of drifting. Still, the backyard is pretty full.  The boys were confused when I opened the back door this morning and there was two feet of snow to greet us. I walked out into the yard and the dogs hopped into my foot steps because the snow was WAY over their heads.

Day 235: Winter Quilt

I finished quilting my winter quilt. Unfortunately I can't put the binding on it because my sewing machine is not here right now. And tomorrow is a snow day too. ":(
