I do not know why I am still up and awake at a few minutes after midnight! I will be sorry in the morning for not dragging my butt to bed. I sewed most of the day today and I am wide awake.

I am making a table runner for a friend. She gave me fabric to do with what I want. I am surprising her by making her something out of her fabric. I’ll show you a picture tomorrow. The lighting isn’t very good at midnight and besides, getting the camera would require getting up from this comfy couch.

Today we went to a birthday party for a gentlemen who turned 90 years old. He is a former salesman who called on our store. He was instrumental in my learning the ins and outs of vinyl floor covering 25 years ago when we began our business. He is such a like-able and good hearted man. He can whistle just like a train. I tell ya, you would thing a train was coming through your living room if you heard him! He also tells silly jokes.

I recommend a ladies retreat to get you through the dead of winter. I needed time with a bunch of nice women who were also ready for a getaway. Our church held a chocolate boutique where we tasted chocolate, made chocolate candy and talked about how chocolate was good for us. It was a fun retreat that taught us how to enjoy life with good friends.

During one portion of the boutique, I taught a clinic, (you can read about it and look at the fun pictures on my blog, My Opinion Counts), on making chocolate molded candy. I made an apron in case it got messy. Funny thing was, I wiped my hands on my pants because i forgot I was wearing the apron!

This has been a crazy morning. I was sick yesterday so I have a lot of estimates to type and phone calls to return. I will get it done and not get stressed. I am telling myself that so that I don’t get that nasty headache I had yesterday. Taking a deep breath….

I was tagged by Laura, over at Laura’s Daily Life and also by Chris at Lone Black Spider to do this interesting alphabet meme.

Rule #1: Copy all the links below and replace a single link under the appropriate letter of the alphabet. If your domain name, or even the title of your blog, starts with an “A,” you’d replace the link under that letter and put the replaced link at the bottom. Also, don’t forget to credit the tagger, or where you got the list from, at the end of the list with a full URL of the post so that a pingback gets generated.
