Where does the time go?

Oh my I just can't find the time to come here lately and update. I really don't know where the time goes! Sometimes I wish I were three people and there were at least 30 hours in a day! Oh wait sometimes there are 30 hours in a day, right?!
The wedding shower was a success with about half the people there that were invited, which I don't think is really too bad and Mary got lots of nice things to start a house. When she got home with the load, her DH to be said that it looked more like the gifts that they got for his first marriage! I guess no one had a shower for them and not many people were invited to the wedding and she took everything in the divorce so everything he and Mary got from the shower and anything they receive as wedding presents will be greatly appreciated and considered theirs...not something that he had to pick up to replace from his 1st. Poor guy lost his job two days ago too, what a spineless boss he had! Couldn't he wait two and half weeks so the wedding would be over? Well he and Mary got his resume and cover letter all ready and Mary's new boss offered his help and connections and got him an interview for Friday with a company that he will fit in nicely with! He also has a couple of other interviews all ready scheduled for next week! Mary got an email from her boss saying how impressed he was with the resume and how impressed his Bil was too! The Bil is who owns the company where the interview is on Friday! Enough about that! What is a blog update without pictures? The first pic is of :from left to right, my youngest dd, my sister, Mary (the Bride), me, and in front is Mary's new step daughter





OOO and look I am wearing my newest crochet tank...The Mango Mesh! I'm not crazy about the shoulders and arm pits....kinda funky but everyone told me they didn't see anything wrong with it. I think it is the Micro spun and the gauge difference from the pattern...oh well live and learn! It turned out well enough to wear and that's what I wanted.
This next picture is of me and my two newest niece and nephew! On the right is my niece (my side) born 5-6-7 and on the left is my nephew (hubsters side) born 5-15-7. I was looking forward to seeing three other babies there but two of the mothers decided not to bring them....How could they do that to me! There was another 7 month old there but she was too squirmy for me to hold her with the two other babies!




I just love babies and their smell and their softness! My kids call me the baby nazi because I can hold them forever and never give them up!

These next two pictures are of a cabinet my son made for me in his cabinet class at school, I am using it to put all of my crochet books, patterns, supplies, etc in. It is beautiful! I love it! And the humongous table is a "beer pong table" which is a drinking game and I guess other people have made them too. He made his taller so you can't bend over very far. We will have to build our new basement around this and the entertainment center he built last year for us. After he leaves for the Marines this table will be my "crafting" table! It is a wonderful height for arranging flowers, scrap booking, etc. on! He says I can't use it for that, but he won't be here anyway!

Saturday is the graduation party here. I think I am stressing more about this than the wedding! My new chairs are not in yet and we really need them! Hopefully they will come in and get delivered before the party! I will have to call the store tomorrow to either get them or tell them to forget it! Even though we need them badly now if they can't be here before this weekend I will wait until the new house gets built and get everything we need then! And depending on the service I get tomorrow it may or may not be from that store! I have never heard anything bad about that store from anyone I know that has bought there and is the reason we went there....but I have not gotten the service I expected either! We ordered the chairs three weeks ago and have only heard from them once, they were supposed to have called us yesterday but didn't, didn't hear anything from them today, so tomorrow I will call them.
It's time to get off of here and work on my shawl for the wedding! It is going slow, but is easy, and boring...kind of like working on an afghan for me! Hopefully I will be done soon.
Wishing you all a happy day!
