Sometimes on Saturday...

[penguin129]

It's a rainy day here. We're on our way back home from church. I'm looking forward to watching Astronaut Wives Club later and AGT.

I finished Broadchurch yesterday and was surprised at graphic the ending was. Does anyone know what the second season is supposed to be about?

[rooskie]

And we are up ten cents at the horse track!! Woo hoo.

It sounds adorable. Have you ever made a throw pillow before? You sew it inside out leaving a small opening, then turn it outside in and stuff it. Once it's filled you can quickly stitch up the open section.

Doesn't sound too difficult. I'll post a pic when I get them finished. Hopefully it'll be today but it may be later next week.

Good Luck.

We are lounging poolside, then we are going to dinner at chipotle and then to a brewery we've never been to. I'm pretty excited.

How did the homebrew go the other day?

@mrsjohnmarston - you should do the Wednesday check in on Crafty Corner. The board is slow but I always check it on Wednesday.

Very well! We did the ipa first because we got some really nice fresh hops for it. We added more hops yesterday then we bottle it on Friday.

I'll check that out. I always forget we have those other boards.

There are a lot of sewers and yarn crafters. I wish more people would play over there too. But the board is slowww

Hello!

I am rushing around like crazy trying to get everything done before we leave tomorrow. Started packing, laundry is going, got my hair cut. Now I have to print out the documents for the house we're staying at, pick up lunch and then get DH's car vacuumed out. Then we have a wedding later this afternoon.

I'm supposed to be going to an ice cream social followed by a friend's baby shower but I messed up my volunteer schedule so I'm volunteering right now instead. I'm sad I'm going to miss the ice cream social but I'm going to make a mad dash for the baby shower when I get off my shift to see if I can catch the end of it.

I'm more of a craft theorist. I know how to sew, but I haven't done it in a long time.

I hate dragging my sewing stuff out. If I could have a dedicated room I would do more.

We are officially building our next house (in like 15 years) and there will be a craft room.

I wish there was a baby filter on FB. Way too many of my friends have babies! It's nice to see sometimes, but most days almost my entire feed is babies.

[rooskie]

Look who showed up at the track today.

[penguin129]

rooskie I had to turn my head all kind of ways to see it. Very cool

Haiiii GKU! Happy Saturday.

We went out for breakfast this morning which was excited because we never do that. Then off to Ikea where I spent way too much $ and had zero meatballs.

Gardening this aft and now H is off to a friends pool and I'm admiring our garden efforts. It is so not my thing but I have to admit it looks way better.

It's already aired on BBC America. You can rent it on Netflix DVD. I'm not sure when it'll be streaming.



Edit: I misread your question. This is how Netflix's website describes season 2.

I just wanted to make sure they weren't going to turn it into True Detective where Season 1 and Season 2 aren't connected at all. Phew!

rooskie,I always forget about the craft board too! I am an amateur sewer but have made a few quilts this year and am always looking for inspiration. I should check it out.

I feel like I need to post a reminder in our Wednesday ransoms thread.

I completed my last Relay for Life event as Event lead and team captain. It was bittersweet, but after 9 years, I just need some time to enjoy it rather than plan it. I am sofa king sore!

We picked up the twins so they could be there as well, it solidifies my thought that it is just too much with kids. Luckily my SIL was there to watch them while I ran all over the place.

*Warning: death and BFP mentioned (not mine)*


So this was a shitty day.


In the morning, I went to the funeral for a friend of my youngest sister. Her friend was only 20 and died in an accident last week.

Afterwards, I went to lunch with my family (which was nice), and then my mom and other sister and I went to get pedicures. Right after we arrived at the nail salon, my sister blurted out that she was pregnant and she didn't know how to tell me (she knows we've been trying for a while). I reassured her that I was happy and excited for her, but I felt like I had been punched in the gut. Here me and MH are, researching RE's in our area because we're almost at the 1 year mark, and my sister and her husband got pregnant on their very first month of NTNP. I really am happy for her but I just don't understand why it was so easy for her and so difficult for me. As soon as I left, I burst in to tears and now I just feel so sad and discouraged.

Hugs ceejay. It's so frustrating that it has to be like that. I feel your pain.

[wannabmama]

ceejay hugs. Tough day i feel you.

[penguin129]

So many hugs to you ceejay. I'm sorry for the rough day.
