Photo Friday: Vehicle

Keyed Up, originally uploaded by CraftyGuy.

I took this photo over two years ago, and had messed around with the brightness and saturation to come up with what I thought was pretty cool (and still do).

Since this week's Photo Friday theme is "Vehicle", I thought I would dig this up and share it.

Scrap-ghan

Just checking in quick tonight to let all y’all (“all y’all” is the plural of “y’all”) know that the patchwork scrap-ghan I had working on is finally done!  The hard part was piecing together all the squares (well, rectangles, but you know what I mean), but I think it was worth it.  Ran it through the gentle cycle with some Woolite and a low-temp dry cycle, and it’s ready to donate!

On the Mend

I’m finally feeling better – well enough to return to work.  Of course, I will likely just be working from home tomorrow since, despite feeling better, I do still get into the occasional coughing fit which could be a bit disconcerting to some.  So technically it’s one more day at home.

I normally don’t mind being at home, actually prefer it most of the time.  But I’m very prone to going stir-crazy when confined and have little to do other than watch TV or poke around on Facebook (both fine activities, in relatively small amounts). Fortunately, I managed to dig up the “scrap-ghan” I started working on last year but never finished (due to that whole “ice storm/power outage/being out of the house for six months” thing), and am working on completing it.  I should have it done either tomorrow evening or Tuesday.  Once it is done, I plan on donating it to a local halfway house.

It’s good to be feeling better, and feels better to be doing good.

And We’re Back

Lest anyone think that I ditched this whole NaBloPoMo thing less than two weeks into it, rest assured I didn’t.

I was home from work Wednesday with the intention of running the errands for Patti as she was feeling under the weather.  But, best-laid plans being what they are, before the day was out I had a fever of my very own. And not to be outdone, it was over 102! I like it warm, but that’s a bit much…

Today is the first day I’ve felt at least semi-functioning, so back to blogging I go.  Since the first of the month, my blog attempts have largely been – admittedly – at bit on the feeble side.  A sentence here, a link there, a YouTube video tossed in for good measure.  I can’t promise the rest of the month will fully be more substantial than that, but I think I might be actually be gaining a little more momentum on the blogging front now.

That is, if I can squeeze it in between coughs…

One Oh Two What?

That’s not a temperature, that’s a radio station!

Feh.

The 11:15 News

Lessee…

Patti’s is feeling less then under the weather and is in dire need of lots of rest, and I’m exhausted, yet presently the healthier of the two of us.

The kids have the day off from school, but Bethanie and Thomas will need to be up early enough to get ready for a Veterans Day function in the morning (Bethanie is in marching band, and Thomas is in Boy Scouts).  I will be working from home tomorrow so that Dad’s Taxi can handle the driving around (so that Patti can rest). MJ (and hopefully Patti) will be sleeping in tomorrow.

Angel is being her typical chowder-head self.

And that’s the news.

Funny, but Wrong… but Funny!

Don’t get me wrong – I like the Food Network, really!

But this website is just too freakin’ hilarious – foodnetworkhumor.com.

You can thank (or scream at) me later.
