to be a part of my bloggin'....that is, I've recently updated my blog reading list on my side (salad) bar and if you are NOT a part of that list, PLEASE let me know! Leave me a post, flag me down in traffic, throw yourself in front of my foot during TKD practice...ANYTHING to get my attention....please? I do tend to hop all over my blog reading (trying to use my blog reader now...) and I don't want to leave anyone out that stops by my place for a visit, or even a stay. Okey Dokey Ardichokey? Good...on with the show....
Smokey Cat thought a good story of The Tale of Desperaux would put him in the 'mousy' mood for bedtime dreams so here's how HIS version went:
Ahhhh nutsin likes a gooood stories to helps you seep at nights....carry on my Minion....
WAITS A SECOND! YOUS SKIPPED DA PARTS WHERE HE GOES TO THE DUNGEON! DATS A GOOD PARTS!!!
Needless to say, Smokey Cat slept very well that night...my daughter on the other hand did NOT like being told which part to read first....(lol).
Not much stitchy to show actually with my stripe test yesterday. I wanted another 'quick' finish which I always try to work on with tests coming up and this is just that. A quick stitch.
The girls and I did fantastic yesterday during our stripe tests (if I do say so myself). For some reason, I was a little nervous and it's been a while since I have felt that way. I think a part of it was that I really had the week from 7734 last week. It was one thing after another and really folks, it takes a LOT to bring me down. The events from this past week did. What cured it? Putting my left foot through 4 inches of pine. Cuts like butter every time. :)
A lot of the area schools are closed because of the flu pandemic. That's a new one for me...not snow or bad weather....the flu. Never thought I'd live to see that one (as DD #1 is upstairs feeling flu right now! AHHHH!).
I hope everyone has a safe week and stay well! I hate having to walk around my own home with a surgical mask...looks like I'm robbing the place....I'll leave ya hangin.....

Congrats on your stripes! your LK piece is looking awesome! My DS was supposed to have his flu shot tomorrow, but we didn't get our allotment in time and now they aren't having the clinics!!! AAAGH, this flu sucks!
Hi, it's your neighbor to the south here! Well one hour south. The flu finally hit Hillsdale county (where I work) and they are out until Wednesday. So far Coldwater schools haven't closed. I was looking at your side bar....32 finishes this year!! Wowsa, congrats!!! I'm not on your sidebar. I'm not an official follower, but have you on my reader. I'll go make it official and *follow* you. Do you feel a stalker? LOL
Looks like we may be going through a possible flu bug here in my home too.
They have said they will not close our schools again for the flu. They closed about 3 of them when the swine flu started up but have said they will not do that again.
Congrats to you and the girls on your stripes results! I think your LK start looks great. I really hope your daughter feels well soon and it's just the seasonal flu and not that dreaded swine flu! The seasonal flu has made it's run through my family, first my daugher, then hubby and my son has been home with me all week (voluntary on my part). Fingers crossed it will skip me but I wash my hands very often and have been running around the house with Lysol wipes and spray too :) It's scary though, no schools have been shut down in our area yet!

hi I hope you can add me to your blog roll and as follower thank you Lizette
I'm on the list already. Thanks for that.
Such a cute kitty/girl story. :)
That LK is looking good.
Ahhh, I love Smokey cat stories. Thanks.
Cute little finish. Those Lizzie Kate's are always such relaxing stitches to me.
This flu thing is incredible, isn't. I use hand sanitizer and clean my counters at work with clorox wipes all day. Everyone you see is sick or has someone at home sick. I sure hope your kids aren't coming down with it, hun. Oh, and just to keep things in perspective I re-read Stephen King's The Stand last week. ROFLOL
Smokey cat looks so cute and looks like he is really enjoying that story!!! Love the stitching! That flu stuff is crazy for sure!!!! I took my daughter to the doc today for sore throat and stomach aches. She does not have the H1N1 but the doc said he is averaging 30 to 40 H1N1 cases every day. There has been about 250 to 300 just in the past week and this is just the pediatrician too, no adults!!!
Oh and congrats on doing well on your Stripe tests!!!
Love the LK and kudo's on the Stripe testing.
