My ex-fiancee lives in Madison. He travels quite a bit to far off places, too. Does your DH work out on the Arsenal? That is where Marty works and where my dad workded. I remember when it took half an hour to get out there. Now it takes about 10 mins from my mom's house. So weird. It is also so weird to connect with people halfway across the country who live in my old stompin grounds! I remember when the VBCC was built! My grandfather and uncle's company did the lighting.

Have a great time. Sounds like a lot of fun

LOL!!! I know just what you mean. I told my husband yesterday that I needed to go to the quilt store at some point, and he said something about driving me there. I said, "Oh no, I want to go without you." I didn't want to worry about him waiting for me out in the car, getting bored while I looked at fabric. I told him I'd go while he watched football. That way, we'd both be happy.

When life gives you lemonade, drink it!

We have a quilt show on September 15, 16 and 17 in San Mateo, CA. I can't wait. I love going to them. I hope everyone got the free tickets. If not let me know and I will photo copy mine and send it to you. It says we can use photo copys. Send me a private message. Be sure to leave me your name and address.

Enjoy doing whatever you want, whatever time you want to do it.

or a Lemondrop Martini!

My husband travels a lot and while we all miss him I find that the house is kept cleaner and I get a lot more done than when he's here.

I know what you mean. You love him, but he does cut into your quilting time. I have the same problem. When he is home, I don't get any quilting done. He just gets this sad look when I say I am going to my room that I end up hanging around in the living room. Even if it is just to watch him watch the Mets.
Don;t get me wrong, I am semi retired and he is still working FT so I do get days to myself, but I now don't like holidays because it messes up my routine.
I guess I am getting old and cranky

I know how you feel. Mine is going elk hunting for 10 days or so. Time to get to some projects and just do what I want to do - when I want to do it!

Mine just got back from a week of fishing. Came back early ---- Unfortunately I was sick most of that week! I had looked SO forward to getting things done. I understand where you're coming from!
