i just love talking to y'all! virtual sewing day, virtual friends! i have 3 possible tr's and can't decide which way to go. i hate choices almost as much as i hate change! but that is what life is all about. my dh has put most of the sm cabinet together. i put the drawers together. woo hoo! of course, the sewing machine opening is about an inch too short so 'we' will be making a cut out or returning the thing and that will be very tough because it is not designed to be taken apart. holy minoley! my back and i are not on conversational terms today. i was up all night, did get 2 hrs sleep this a.m. but i'm not sure that's going to be enough. i will soon be in the groove, especially if my cabinet gets finished! my son called me from london on the 14th, near midnight his time. we have a family tradition i started when the kids were little. the night before their birthday they give me their last kiss for that age. then in the morning they give me their first kiss for their new age. even as adults my kids still call with their kisses. usually they call a few minutes before midnight so they can give me the two kisses on either side within minutes of each other. even the 2 with significant others still give me my kisses. i'm so glad it is meaningful to them still. it means the world to me! btw, they are 34, 32 and 26. still infants to me!!
