School, sick kitties... and BFF toasts.

I started back to school for the quarter, and already taken a test. That's all I have done - study, study, and study.

Also, poor little Loverbunny is really sick. He is diabetic, and we knew that when he suddenly dropped 5 lbs of weight. He also drinks and urinates all the time. We were doing 4 units of insulin/twice a day, but his last fructosamine level was almost 750. Yes, 750 - that's pretty much coma, DKA, death level. :( So, we've increased him to 6 units/twice a day now.... but it's sad he feels so bad. And he's my two year old's best friend.

I've been waiting for my floss to come for my Dessert of the Month cross-stitch, but in the meantime, I started this cute little BFF Toasts with some floss I had lying around. :) It's not the same colors, but now I can make my jelly grape. ;)

Moving up the social networking food chain

Hey! I got myself a twitter! You can follow me @ey_re!

All the social networking seems exciting, but I think it's a hard learning curve (even for someone who has always used computers!)..... I still don't really get what the #ihavenoideawhatthismeans is for?!

Also a little mommy "WHAT?!" for today. My sweet little boy. So sweet, so precious.... learned the word "shut up" from somewhere. (Probably daycare.) We DO NOT say that word in our house. It's a pet peeve of mine and my husband's. We honestly would rather hear curse words than "shut up". How did we know he learned it?.... The cat was meowing, and he turned to the cat and said "Shut up Sam!". My husband and I both spun our heads around so fast we probably put shame to the exorcist.... "WHAT DID YOU SAY"

*sigh* I'm sure it's not the worst thing he'll ever learn out in public, but still...

On the crafting front.. I have nothing. My classes started back up, and I have a test over 12 chapters on Monday. That is a whopping 6 days to study for it, and that's only 1 out of my 3 classes!

I did purchase a subscription to The Dessert of the Month club from The Frosted Pumpkin Stitchery. I've never cross-stitched, but this was too cute to pass up, and seems like a pretty good project for learning.

Laundry room is coming along!

We are turning our butler's pantry into a laundry room.... When we moved in, we realized when you flush the upstairs toilet, it came with it's very own waterfall in this room!! *sigh* So, we had to rip out the ceiling to fix it.

Laundry room before

The ceiling stayed ripped out until just recently.... We redid all the plumbing finally, and now we are converting it into a laundry room so I don't have to go to the basement.



I will post a final picture when it's done. We still have chair railing, a few bead boards, and painting trim to go.
