2499
It's my Friday! I get to take tomorrow off to spend with my bunches, (that's what I call my hubby). Our daughter is staying the night at a friends house tomorrow, so we get some alone time for a little while.
I finished re-stitching the 2499 stitches on Unleashed. Here is a pic:
He is wrinkled, but there he is. I don't have an iron at work, ha! Since he had to come off of the qsnaps to get gridded, I thought I would snap a quick picture of him. I think he is looking wonderful.

October TUSAL and Hubby Update
Georgia, Gooorrrrrgiiaaaaaa! Sorry... eh hem...
Here is my October Tusal pic:
Here is my October Tusal pic:
That is from the beginning of the year to current. My bag at work, (you can see a corner of it), and my glass at home have now been combined into one. Tada! I think I am more than ready to grab me some empty ornaments and make a couple, what do you think?
My hubby started school today, he is going to his A.A.S. I am so proud of him! He is going to be doing hands on work plus he gets to do an externship.
I got no stitching done this weekend... my own lazy butt fault. I sat and watched Charmed, (as I am almost done with the series). Not much else got done either.

Interesting Acronyms
In the adventures of perusing the interwebs, I often find things of interest. Other times, things of oddness.
Something I found that interested me - Background - I keep my threads in a bag (at work) and a glass (at home) for approximately a year. I am going to make an ornament with it, but since I have been doing a lot of dark stitching (mostly black) I wanted to add a bit of color to it. If you don't know, these old ratty threads have a name, which is ORT. So, for future reference I will refer to my bag and glass as my ORT jar. In my perusing different blogs, I found a lot of people mentioning a tusal. They all had pictures of their ort jars and stated it was their monthly tusal update. So, I finally found out what it is, and it is explained here: TUSAL
In short tusal means totally useless stitch a long. A nifty acronym if I've ever seen one.
I have joined, so the next full moon, which I believe is the 25th of this month, I will be combining my ort jars and posting a pic.
Quick question, what does this acronym mean? TLA
Have a great day everyone!

You don't say...?
Well, it seems I have followers. Wooohooo! Thank you, and welcome!
Update on my gift certificate that I won through HAED, I am still looking through the site. I do have a wish list, but it just seems wrong to not look through all of the lovely charts that they have available before I make my decision. I will let you all know what I have picked, (once I do).
Last night my hubby found out that he didn't get the job he was hoping for. I know he is upset about it and it hurts me to see. I was really hoping he would get this job, and I know he was too. All things happen for a reason, at least I believe so. But why is it taking so long for him to get a job? There has to be a reason. I thought it was because the "perfect" job was out there waiting for him. And I swore that this was it, but apparently it isn't. He is going to ask if he can do anything to try and get his foot in the door, maybe that will help some.
Darling daughter has a school dance this Friday. She went to one last year, but that was it. Her school has about 3-5 dances a year. I am glad she is going, that is an experience that all people should have, if they have the ability to. I hope she has a great time and I am looking forward to hearing about it afterwards.
I know this is supposed to be wordless Wednesday, but I had to update and vent a little. I will try harder on Wednesday's in the future. So now, I leave you with a picture. Have a wonderful Wednesday and see you all soon!

What is with people? (Take 1)
As I am sure there will be more, this is take 1 of "What is with people?"
There are times when I just don't understand people. Take my co-workers for instance. Sometimes I get it, I really do. Other times, I have to ask myself, WTF?
Why would you put donuts in the fridge? They get stale and nasty. Yet, my co-worker thinks that is the best way to keep them fresh. I thought it was to store them so they are in an air tight container. My bad.
Some people have to have the attention all on them. I believe we all know someone like this don't we? (I am not talking about a co-worker now). I have tried my best to keep these types of people at arms length. I have never really understood how these people work internally. I don't see the need for someone always fawning over you. I like the fact that I don't need someone paying attention to me 24/7/365. How tiring would that be??
There are those that just scare the fricken crap out of you. I swear one of the ladies that works with me (not a direct co-worker), has Schizophrenia. Either that or multiple personalities. I'm not really sure which, but she scares the crap out of me!
There are those that are fake, yet try their hardest not to be. I personally think you can tell the difference between those that are trying not to be and those that just don't give a rats ass.
There are those who don't care what others think. I personally was raised to think for myself. Besides the people that mean the most to me, I really don't care what other people think of me, how I look, dress, have my hair, makeup or any other aspect of my life. And to some points, I don't care what those closest think about me on some things. I guess it just depends on what it is.
I guess there are always going to be people that we don't like, get along with or just flat out hate. I know hate is a strong word, and I don't believe it should be used lightly. I have very few people I hate, less than a hand full to tell you the truth. But I dislike a LOT of people. Shocker? heh
That is it for my rant today.
