43 More!

Hey Y’all!

Tonight marks the end of Spring Break. I was sad about it for a few minutes, until I realized that we only have 43 more days of school left. That is a very do-able number. So, as of right now, I am ready to knock those days out of the park and dive into SUMMER! Besides, unlike our spring break, the weather is getting ready to warm up . And. That means weekend beach visits. Oh yes. 43 is do-able.

I am not sure how the furry baby is going to handle us getting back onto our schedule tomorrow. I have been with him almost 24/7. He has had 4 walks a day. And. We have really enjoyed our afternoon naps. Here’s a shot from today’s nap! Pitty Pat is a blanket hog!

 

Yesterday, I started working on and finished the cutest baby hat. I call it Buzzy due to the flowers and the bees. I think it is one of my favorite hats that I have ever done. I bought the pattern off of Etsy.

I made a stop at the Dollar Tree this week to pick up some poopy bags for Pitty Pat. I found those great clips in the first picture holding my patterns together. I also found some other great knitting tools. I plan to post about those tomorrow!

I haven’t posted a lot about my trip to Charleston on Thursday. It was such a rainy and nasty day that I was very glad to get home. The doc made me have more bloodwork (which I did on Friday) and I have to have a Cat Scan of my belly done on Wednesday. He thinks I am having a Crohn’s flare and just wants to make sure I don’t have a blockage or other issue. So, I had to put in for a sub on Wednesday. I have to drink some really yucky stuff and then they take pictures of my belly as it goes through. The last time I had this done it took 4 hours. So. You better believe I am going to have a good book. I don’t take my knitting with me. I having this done in the hospital and it is so germy. I could never take my knitting there!

Well, let me log off. I have to resume “school time” bed time tonight. That is going to be so hard, I have been staying up until midnight and then sleeping until 8:30. 43 more days people. 43 more days!

Tootles!

Movie Review Thursday!

 

Hey Y’all!

I am getting ready to leave for Charleston in just a few minutes, but I wanted to squeeze in some quick movie reviews!

Yesterday I had the chance to go and see GI Joe: Retaliation. Y’all know I love a good action movie, and this one does deliver. However, if you are going to see this movie because Channing Tatum is in it, let me warn you he is only in the first 15 minutes of the movie. After that it becomes “The Rock” action adventure movie. So, if he is not one of your favorites, then you may want to wait until the DVD comes out.  One neat scene in the movie takes place in South Carolina at Fort Sumter. Obviously this was an “enhanced” Fort Sumter because there is no bridge that runs beside Fort Sumter. This movie is a great action movie, but there were several scenes in the movie that I felt were straight out of other recent action movies. During the previews there was a glimpse of the upcoming Red 2. If you saw the first Red and loved it, then there are a few scenes in GI Joe that will remind you of that movie. The second Red looks to be a hoot! Overall I give GI Joe a solid B.

One of the best movies I have seen so far in 2013 has to be Olympus Has Fallen. This movie promises big ACTION and SUSPENSE and it delivers. Yesterday during the previews I saw a movie that looks to be similar to this and it is White House Down. That one is based on a book, which you know I will have to read! Anyway, back to Olympus Has Fallen. It is a great movie and it never loses pace. You are kept on the edge of your seat throughout. I loved it. I give Olympus Has Fallen a solid A!!!!!

Alrighty. It is time for me to hit the road. Say some prayers for safe travels, the weather is very nasty today. Charleston is not picnic to drive in when the weather is great, so I am not looking forward to today. Also, let’s hope the ol’ GI doc does not want to put me on prednisone. Ewww.

I’ll post more when I get back!

Tootles!

Blueberries! Blueberries! And, Instagram Fun!

Hey Y’all!
Spring Break is moving right along! Imagine my horror when I woke up this morning and realized that it is already Wednesday. WEDNESDAY! That means tomorrow is Thursday, and spring break is almost over. BOO!

Yesterday I took it really easy. I haven’t been feeling great with my tummy and I have a trip to Charleston tomorrow to check in with the tummy doc. The pain that I was having in the fall has come back and it is really uncomfortable. So. I am hoping the ol’ GI doc will have some answers for me. And. Hopefully those answers don’t include prednisone. But, it is what it is.

Yesterday I had all kinds of fun playing with instagram! If you are not on instagram, you really need to give it a try. I take a ton of pictures with my phone and instagram provides all kinds of filters for you to add to your photos. It seems that my favorite filters are 1977 and Nashville. I am pittypat 269 on instagram if you want to follow me. But let me warn you. I take tons of pics of Pitty Pat and my knitting. So. You have been warned!

Here are a few pics of yesterday….

Pitty Pat needed some “alone” time. My spring break is getting in the way of his daily schedule.


Pitty Pat has partied to hard with the Yorkies next door…..


I found two new awesome products yesterday that have BLUEBERRIES in them. Oh YES!



So that is what has been going on here. I think today I am going to venture out and maybe hit the movies. Tomorrow is going to be a long day, so I need some fun today. I am thinking GI Joe may be the movie of choice today. I’ll be back with a movie review if it is. Have a great day!

Currently :)

Hey Y'all!

It is the beginning of the month and Farley has up Currently for April. Here's mine!

The last one is on advice..... we've heard all the tried and true ones. This year I turned 40 and a wee bit of wisdom came with it. EVERYBODY needs a day to be lazy. Now my lazy may be get up, take a shower and put on a clean pair of jammies for the rest of the day.. your lazy can be a little different. But never underestimate how a day of lazy can make you feel better! Also, a good cup of coffee can do wonders too!

Anyhoo, I don't have a lot going on today. I am trying to decide if I want to drive down to one of my favorite consignment stores or not. Taking a day to be lazy doesn't sound like a bad idea right now! I ran a bunch of errands yesterday, so really I can chillax until Thursday when I have to drive to Charleston for a doctor's appointment with the tummy doc. It is just nice to have a day without plans! Even if it is a chilly day!

I hope y 'all have a great day!
Tootles!
