Saturday My Favorite day to post

I'm in a really happy mood. I have really had an easy day. I woke up with a Migraine but i think if maybe from the Oak pollen so I am trying to forget and get on with my life. I read yesterdays and todays paper and did some wash, changed the bed, read some emails. Found a hippo embroidary applique for a quilt I want to make for a special youn g lady I know. I think I will do 12 Squares adn make the hippos from material to the match the special holiday or season of that month. I think of April as a shower Month adn I'm wondering what fabric I will use for that month. Something with umbrellas? If anyone has any ideas I'm open to that. We have been really busy at work but it is starting to slow down and even though I know $$ wise that is not great I am glad to be able to get out of work earlier. KP's baseball team lost theilr game last night to ARCH RIVAL Pasco but the boys played together as a team, were ahead a couple of times and only lost by two runs so they should be proud of themselves. The weather is so good I have to remember each time I look out the window to Thank the Good Lord for this paradise.
Tonite I am taking KP to Tampa to buy a suit for the wedding. I have purchased my dress and it is on it's way and I am dieting so I'll look much better in it. I have lost 4 pounds so far this week.
This will be Kp's first suit and I know that he will great in it ---I am having a hard time convincing him-----but this is a shorts and tee shirt guy so who knows.
Now I only have to work on that dancing part and he'll be perfect to me.
Pray that we get some rain soon. WE are so dry that they are asking everyone to clean up all yards and get rid of dead stuff and leaves. I really wanted to leave the leaves on the back yard this year to get some compost on it. but I guess we need to rake I hear them really crunch when I take the dog out. Well this is short but I have things I want to do so Im off.

Well lit has been two month's since Ihave osted anything and I haven't been quilting much either. I have been at work a lot more than I want to be. Thank God we turn the clocks aheaad this weekend. Even though I will miss an hour of sleep Iwill be glad to get some more light so that I can ride my bike two or three nights a week. Hopefully we will get warm weather also. I moved to FL for warm weather and so far I have not warmed up since last October.
My angel trumpets that froze this winter are starting to come back and my camelias were outstanding and think what they will be next year if I fertizile and mulch.
I am going shopping this weekend for a dress for Josh and Jenny's wedding. I have seen a simple dress adn I will get that if I don;'t find something I like better. The dress I am looking at is sapphaire blue -- my Mom would love the color and it should look nice with my hair. We have to get KP to the store adn get a suit and etc. Meg and Jill and Missi are coming I may take an extra day off from work just to spend a day with them. I am anxious to start quilting I have my fabric for the kitty/dog block I am making for the charity quilt to send to one of my quilter buddies in the quilting group I belong to. I think I will make two blocks and reverse the colors and background.
I saw a new tote I want to make and I was thinking of making them for friends and relatives for christmas they are quick and have a couple of extra pockets which I think are grand.
Off to bed. It's late and I must read a few pages before sleep takes over.
