Well......I did stick to my floor near the fridge.....but that's a quick wipe up! :) I also just learned I have an unplanned 5 days off. Thought I was going to have to work a day in the middle.....but yipee!!! Does the JanRN mean you are a nurse?? I recognize the work schedule if you are. :) Who else gets to work weekends and holidays on a regular basis?
And BTW...July 3rd is our wedding anniversary! And I get to spend it on-call and most likely at work! :(
The joys of being a nurse...
they will be married 40 years and left today for a short vacation.

I agree with you. The board does take time to read and respond to the posts. I love it though. Such nice people and great photos of quilts and projects! I have learned so much about new patterns, color matching, tools and fabric. I don't feel guilty one bit! I think of it as being in a guild. That takes tons of your time too. Right?
I think there are limits to our time, and I try to balance it out the best I can between family, garden, home, sewing and the board! LOL!

Used to come home from work and do a little sewing, now I spend on this board and love reading comments, checking out new quilt sites and love, love the beautiful quilt pictures. My quilting projects have now been moved to the weekends. And yes, learning alot!! Thank you all

I know what you are talking about working weekends, holidays, whatever. I worked 13 years for the phone comlpany in operator services. No regular hours or shifts there. I hate holidays and weekends just because had to work them so much.
Been there, done that.
