      Of course Mary, I will send nice weather your way too...no trade required! :hug:What are friends for?  Maybe we can all meet (when you are both recovered) and enjoy pizza and cheesecake together?  

      So sorry you got snow and a migraine, Patricia... :getwell: I guess the good weather I sent your way hasn't reached you yet. :sor:  It's taking a while to get to you...but will eventually.  I will tell it to move quicker your way!! 

      What a cute picture!  Puts a smile on my face after an exhausting day.

      Hugs to you both! :hug::hug:

  2. I am a proud Canadian LOVE MY COUNTY. Today turns 150 years old, I was remember when it turned 100. We are the first provinces to welcome Canada 150 birthday, many people will think it would be Newfoundland but NFL didn't become part of Canada until 1949 and as @MeBeMary would say I gave her another history lesson. So ALL you other Canada on AS, let us join in wishing Canada a Happy 150 Birthday!!!!!

      My brain does shut down at all it just keeps going and going like the stupid energizer bunny.   See that amazes me that people can sit there and quilt.  I can sit there for hours or days drawing or decorating cakes but to quilt I just can't seem to figure it out.  

    3. patriciag

      patriciag

      I started with baby quilts, I have made Queen size quilts. I don't sell them for family I make a quilt if they have been married 40 years or if the girl is turning 50.  The baby quilt I give to a family member who has a new baby.  When the baby is born I find a spot on the quilt and write the name, date,time for the baby.

    4. Painnbroken

      That's awesome I've always admired people who could do that.

      Glad to hear you have a generator!  Wow...up to 100km winds!! :ohmy:  Oh, no...so sorry you're fighting a migraine...:(  Hope the storm eases soon and like Mary wrote, that all stays well.

      Made it through the blizzard, hubby was out digging us out. Some of the snow was over his head,  thankfully to our neighbour who used his front loader to break the snow at the end of driveway.  I noticed the birds couldn't get their seed because the snow got in the feeders. I felt bad for them so   put my boots on, winter coat but was too lazy to go up stairs to put pants on, just left night shirt on. Let's just say snow was up past my waist. The birds are happy my legs are red from the snow.

    4. josiel

      Awwww...thanks soooo much to you from the birds! :throb:  

      Hope you are all warmed up by now.  That's a LOT of snow!!!

      (((((patricia))))) Is it because of the migraines?  I see that Nova Scotia is being hit by more bad weather... :(

      Sleep has been difficult here too lately...like you, I haven't been able to fall asleep before 3 or 4am for many nights now!  It's  frustrating.  But I'm able to manage enough sleep ounce I'm asleep, which is great.  I never start work before 3pm...great to be self-employed as I can manage my hours to accommodate the insomnia.

      Hope your insomnia gets better soon!

      I don't think it's the migraines Josiel even if they do take there toll. I just never do good this time of the year. Today was a rough day, with little sleep. the ower of the daycare is sick, its in her home to keep the age group noise level down can be hard. When she is sick or away I am in charge, there is another helper, she is new and I will admit I wasn't very patent . Something I need to work on, instead of letting her finish I go in to help her, to get it done,  instant of letting her finish.

      Thank you so much for  checking in on me.

  14. Today is the finally goodbye, I get to say my last tribute to Terry. Yesterday over 500 people showed up at the funeral home. This is Canada Thanksgiving weekend, I just can't do it this year. I never knew a person could be so tried.

  15. Today is my 47th wedding Anniversary

  16. I have a new look, for years I have coloured my hair, something my mother would not approve of, her feeling was to look young, be perfect. So this picture is all natural,  it's me and I like it.

      I can so relate with a Mom not approving of her daughter's look! I think you're natural look is beautiful and very you. I'm trying to figure out my own more natural look as I have gotten blonde highlights for years but now my "underneath color" is a dark brown with new silver strands coming in. We all have a choice in who we choose to be and how we show up. I'm inspired by your natural choice just not sure I want to wait to grow it all out!  Thanks for showing the way.

      Your photo certainly got my attention as I browsed the forums briefly before I got to this post! You honestly are beautiful they way you are! But it’s not just that, you look happy and kind and caring too, but some of that might be because I’ve read your posts and I know how kind you are.

      I recently gave myself a buzz cut and I know many people would not like it, because women are expected to have long hair, but I feel free and comfortable with it.

      :( That is not spring for you.  Glad he will be home before it hits...so he can snowblow...and not be so far away when it comes. Yes, I recall you mentioning a relapse in one of your posts. Really, you've had your quota for 5 years...if it would only work that way. I was almost gonna say, no cheesecake...serves you right for not sharing :wink: , but since you have a birthday...I'll let it slide...this time!

      I feel your pain, Patricia. I am so sorry. I hope you are feeling better now. 

      I have migraines and they are severe to the point that I get stroke-like symptoms. It's called migraine with aura. I have been hospitalized before, too, as my blood pressure was stroke-level from the pain and my prescriptions did not touch it. I can relate and I am so, so sorry that you are suffering this way.

  22. So today (Friday) is my day to get my tattoo, I gave this tattoo a lot of thought, it is about my children ( the other ones were about my abuse).

    So I will have a butterfly for my oldest daughter, turtle for my son, and sunflower for my youngest daughter. The  artists will put these things together. As a last minute  thought I would add music notes on vines ( my husband plays and has taught music).

    First I have to tell you my husband doesn't like tattoos REALLY DOESN'T LIKE THEM!!!!

    So tonight he comes up with a 8#10 piece of paper of the music notes I should have and where they should go, I tell him this is not my vision, I explain my vision. Now the plan he came up with is nice and I wouldn't have thought about it. So I tell him I can see what is saying and I do like it, but I want my vision too. Oh no he says that wouldn't work with his plan, wouldn't look right. I told him I would talk to the artist about adding his vine of my music notes but my vision comes first. Later in the evening he was talking to our oldest, she said Dad get your own tattoo, his answer I don't like them but your mom is getting the one thing I would want.

    Oh it should be fun :lol:
