St. George, Hello... Goodbye

I haven't been around for a while as I've been busy, too tired to blog and because Morgana, my Mom and I just spent four days in St. George visiting GGMa (my maternal Grandmother).

We had such a blast! Hopefully I'll be back in the swing of things and posting again soon!

More Doctor, Ugh!

Well, my MRI was normal. Good news, but still don't know for sure what caused my little episode of aphasia.


This was a "good morning, Daddy" photo that we sent Stu last Sunday morning after our monthly sleepover at Nana's.


This is what I looked like everytime I prepared breakfast or lunch for Morgana a few days last week, after washing my hands and scrubbing to my elbows each time. Stu took care of dinners. I had some kind of digestive illness all last week. It was so taxing and uncomfortable. My tests came back normal on this sickness, so who knows what I had.


I made Morgana a robot head, at her request.


I crocheted a hair donut in a color of yarn to match my hair, which is important because my hair is too thin to really cover a hair donut well. I love it!




My baby dragon!

Speaking of baby dragons...


My friend, Christy, requested a pair of crocheted baby dragons. They're finally done after a week of fighting off illness, a week of procrastination because she was out of the country for over a week and then another week where I had that digestive illness.


This is Little Miss's favorite bedtime "story" right now. Reading excerpts from recipes for bedtime feels weird to me, but she loves to look at the fun pictures while I fill the silence with instructions.


My mom asked for a simple travel mug cozy since her two favorite travel mugs are stainless steel and slip when she tries to pick them up with really dry hands. She asked for a simple double crochet cozy in black.

Morgana and I are also planning to go down to Southern Utah with Nana (my mom) to stay with GGMa (my mom's mom) and her husband for about five days next week. I'm so excited!

Well, it's getting close to bedtime, I'm getting tired and still need to update my Ravelry projects. Goodnight all!

Cookies & The Doctor

I made my oatmeal raisin cookies. They are so good!


Little Miss loves them!


Mo read a book to a baby in the doctor waiting room today. She put a piece of sticker in her nose last night, so she had to go in.

Me and Teen Miss have also gone in this week. I won't say what Teen Miss went in for, that's her business. I went it because I had a brief episode of aphasia Wednesday night. I have to go in again Monday. That's all I'm going to say because not even my mother knows that something happened yet, lol.

I'm still working on the dragons for Christy. I got sick right before she left for her out of country vacation, then I procrastinated, then I had my "episode" and have been trying not to stress.

I'm on track for my calorie intake today. When I had the aphasia the other night, it was a wake up call that I really need to get serious about taking care of myself.

Tomorrow, Morgana and I are going to have our monthly sleepover at Nana and Papa's. Excited!

Have a great weekend!

Easter & Stuff

Just A Post

I just had a birthday this week and it was so great! I had a screening appointment for lasik eye surgery and set an appointment in July to have it done! Then, Hubby, Little Miss and I (Teen Miss was in school) went to lunch at IHOP. We went home, Little Miss and I had a nice, long nap, then we all picked up Teen Miss and went shopping to get me a new outfit. Next, we went to a sushi dinner and finlally ice cream at Baskin Robbins. Fabulous day! My Grandmother, my other Grandfather and my parents all gave me money for my birthday. I bought lots of things over the next few days and even took my family out for dinner last night.

Mo has caught a cold. She acts like she feels pretty good, but still has her miserable moments.

Teen Miss is taking me to a movie this weekend as a birthday gift.

I have been cutting up plastic grocery bags to knit a market bag with because I can't find the reusable bag we used to take to the library for the books and movies we check out. I've also been working on the dragons I'm crocheting for Christy.

I'll leave you with a photo of Little Miss trying to use chopsticks at my birthday dinner.

Hoppin' Down The Bunny Trail

My friend, Christy, has asked me to crochet her two baby dragons; one for her daughter and one for her daughters friend. Morgana and I walked to a Smith's Marketplace today to get the yarn for them. I started the first one. The yarn is thinner than I had anticipated. I told Christy and offered to get a different yarn, crochet thread, to be exact. But, she says she's okay with the dragons being smaller than Morgana's.

I've been watching The Dog Whisperer with Cesar Millan on Netflix. That guy is awesome! I've watched episodes here and there since the show started, but it never ceases to amaze me how he helps transform dogs and their owners.

Stu and Kate picked up their new glasses today. They both look great! And hopefully, soon, I won't need glasses or contacts anymore. Stu has surprised me with a screening appointment on Monday for lasik surgery for my birthday!

Morgana only went on the potty once today. She's still sitting on the potty several times a day, but hasn't hone on the potty for several days.

Yesterday, I finished crocheting this little bunny for a co-worker of Stu.

Fantastic Friday!

Little Miss is currently addicted to oranges. So, I'm buying and cutting ala-hot of oranges lately. Hey, there could be worse things for your toddler to be addicted to, yeah?


I'm crocheting and amigurumi bunny, similar to Morgana's baby dragon, for a co-worker of Stu's to buy. Today, I put on the face and finished up the head. I'll do the ears next.


Last night, Little Miss enjoyed a desset of the saltine toffee I made. She likes to dip it in milk.


Little Miss has been potty training since January. We only ask if she wants to go and offer for her to sit on the potty. For a while I was only offering at bath/shower time before bed. Last night, I offered at a diaper change and she went. Then again before bed. This morning she went again at diaper change! So, this morning's potty completed a sticker chart and she got a prize! She went a total of 4 times today!


Friday library trip.


Yes, we checked this book out from the library. It's Morgana's favorite library book this week.

I was going to paint my nails tonight, but it's getting late and I want to knit.

Also, there's some Doritos and cottage cheese that my husband bought me... they're calling my name. Yeah, blew my calorie count today.

Until next time!
