someone remind me...

i shouldn't drink coffee drinks in the evening time! i went by dunkin donuts after stitch night and got one of those delicious coffee coollattes or whatever they are called...i'm wired i'm telling ya and i need to be sleeping!

yesterday was robin's birthday. mom was nice enough to make lemon pies for me to take to work. the pies were a big hit b/c folks found out my mom made them so they knew they were going to be delish. three folks came back for 2nds including one of the ladies who normally eats a teeny-tiny piece whenever we've had cake for someone else. she surprised me the most by eating 2 whole pieces of pie! she's a tiny little thing so it won't hurt her much. plus mom used sugar free lemon pudding mix and fat free whipped topping so it was a healthy birthday pie to eat. luckily there was about 1/2 a pie left for robin to take some home to share with mark.

after work i went to stitch night at my lys. i had a blast! i met another knitting blogger ~ susan ~ who has moved here from texas. {waves} "hey, susan!!" we talked about different blogs we read and about ripplealongs and alicia paulson and other sites we visit from time to time. i'm glad she came to stitch night and hung out with all of us.

phyllis let us know that one of the local coffee shops invites knitters and crocheters to hang out on the 1st, 2nd, and 4th friday each month. they also have a tatting group that meets there a couple of times a month. i'm going to check it out. i think it's good to network with other crafty-minded folks.

most of my friends are not into needlework or any other crafts for that matter. one of my friends i work with, jane, is into cross stitch and embroidery so i get input from her from time to time. she has been a real sweetie and brought in some of her needlework mags with knit/crochet patterns that might interest me. i'll come in and have a magazine on my desk with a little sticky note on the page(s) and a note saying "this might interest you".

i'm going to go now and attempt to go to sleep. i think i need to break out the ipod and listen to the meditation podcasts i downloaded. those have helped me settle down and go to sleep the couple of times i've listened to them.

kisses...
