An amazing day and a tag...

Let me say that I had such a wonderful day yesterday! It was my very first day of joining the SP wednesday stitching group that Margaret introduced me to and I can not thank her enough! The ladies are so nice and welcoming and made me feel right at home. I so enjoyed myself and stitched on PR's Fairy Celebration! I did get there a bit late but not the next time. I was going to pick out fabric for PR's Queen of the Fairies with everyone's help but my Venus threads did not arrive in time.... And as fate would have it my Venus threads were in my mailbox when I arrived home! I even joked about it while at the stitching table! They are so beautiful and Laura is so wonderful to have included a gift of a beautiful scissor fob!!!! And in my favorite color! I will treasure it always!!!!! Here are some pictures.... and and I think I am going tomorrow to pick out fabric since I can't wait any longer! I really wanted lots of input but I really want to start her since she has been whispering my name and now she is starting to get louder!!!

And now I've been tagged by Noreen and Karen and Cheryl so it's about time I answered the tag!

8 Random Things

The Rules:1. Each player starts with 8 random facts/habits about themselves.2. People who are tagged write a blog post about their own 8 random things and post these rules.3.

So here goes....

1. My nieces are my heart

2. I love drinking tea and can and do nurse a cup for hours at a time

3. I lose all track of time in a card shop or book store.

4. Hubby and I were a blind date.

5. I never wanted a baby....maybe for 3 1/2 seconds.

6.People who don't know me tend to think I'm tough but I'm not.

7. I wanted a small wedding but had a big (170) wedding and it truly was my fantasy wedding come true.

8. I said I'd never get married again but dear hubby changed that!

That was harder than I thought...and now to tag 8 people Brian , Jamie , Lizzy , Kim , Michelle , Mercy ,Wendy , Jules . So there you go consider yourselves tagged!

The last amazing thing that happened yesterday ...well actually two things both at Pilates but first I did the Star position unassisted meaning the instructor not standing by "just in case" It felt so good. My left side is still weaker than my right so that needs work but I did it!!! And my instructor was in NY recently and went to see Wicked on my recommendation and loved it!!! She surprised me with a poster from the show!!!!!! I love it and can't wait to get it framed!!!!! All in all an amazing day!!! And now to the pool and stitching outside!!!

I am grateful for my new friends and stitching group.....

A 5 things tag.....

I've been tagged by Karen. Here are the rules, as she explains them in her blog.
Five Questions.. and Five Things..
For the first part, 5 Questions - my dear readers can ask me five questions--either in comments or feel free to email them if you'd prefer. I'll answer them in the blog as soon as time allows.

For the second, Five Things About Me:Here are the rules:1. Get tagged.2. List five things that have not been revealed on your blog.3. Tag five others.
So here goes...Five things about me I haven't revealed in my blog.

1. I love spinach. I know weird again....
2. Hubby and I met on a blind date almost 10 years ago. We were both rather hesitant but our families knew each other so we went. He took me to his uncle's restaurant on L.I. for dinner. I knew the uncle. So it was a little more comfortable it being a blind date and all. And are we ever happy we did !!!
3. I ran the N.Y.C. Marathon in 1998.
4. I am a third child . I was the baby of the family and loved it until my mother had a "change of life" baby making me the third of 4 children.
5. Hubby gave me two engagement rings....his choice! I picked the first one which he never liked a pink kunzite stone. And so before our wedding he gave me the second one a blue topaz custom design which he adores!!!! He says it sparkles......the kunzite ring doesn't!

So there you go! Now to tag 5 people.... Vonna Katica Lizzy Deanne Jymisgurl
I await your questions......and promise to answer as best I can....

Well there it is and as for today I took a sick day and stayed in bed most of the day just taking care of me and trying to get rid of this nasty migraine...the last set of pills and icepack seems to have worked! I'm comtemplating another day tomorrow...I'll see later on. I'm going to try and stitch for a little while and have a big oversized cup of tea now LOL! And thanks to Jamie for my new calendar in my sidebar which I just love! My old one was cool but this one is even better!

I am grateful for a day at home doing nothing but resting....
