It's A Busy Good Friday

These past 2 weeks have alternately flown by and dragged by. We are up and running on are new Cyber Ren EMR and we are all loving it. The staff have done an amazing job of picking up the new system and continuing to dialyze without missing a beat. TJ has been a lifesaver from helping me enter all the data to setting up all the computers in the education room for training to knowing the system inside and out. The Doc has been supportive and he understands and uses the system as well as the trainers. So all in all it has been a good experience just very long. For now we are on our own and our wonderful rep and trainer Ulrich is back in Canada. Guess time will tell if we have all the kinks and bugs worked out
So long intro into why I decided to stay home today. I am exhausted. I have done very little for the Easter dinner at my house this Sunday. So here I am cleaning and doing laundry and trying to decorate. I still haven't come up with anything special for Mr A and Ms S. Got to get my thinking cap on. Definitely no yarn maze this year so guess I best get busy.
I splurged and bought myself my birthday, Mother's Day, Christmas and whatever else I can think of present. I am loving it beyond even my own expectations. The Kindil 2 is now residing in my house. Still learning all the bells and whistles but have 6 books I have downloaded and am in the process of reading.

Starting to decorate a little. I taped my Easter ATC cards to skewers and then stuck them in this flower arrangement. The Easter plastic eggs just got thrown in there not sure they will stay. I was picking them up as I had dumped them all over the floor so was trying to get them up and out of the way.

More Easter bunnies. A lot of these I picked up at the flea markets

House of 3 Easter download. I printed these on glassine bags so not sure yet if they are ever going to dry. Plan to put treats in them for Easter

New nutcups I made with fabric bunnies. This was a kit from Little Pink Studio

So back to cleaning and laundry I go. Tomorrow is groceries and getting things lined up for dinner Sunday
Had a nice long visit with Colleen. She is having a grand time babysitting and is feeling a whole lot better. Finally found some cough medicine that is working
Off to work I go

The Stockings Were Hung

Image
I hosted a small group for a Christmas Stocking Swap. I kept the group small due to my time and work constraints and deadlines I was facing. My idea for the swap came from a wonderful online class I took with Nancy Maxwell James of Sugar Lump Studios . I really enjoyed her class and all her helpful tips and so the idea was born. I assigned secret partners, to each of the members as well as a Dec 10th deadline. Christine suggested we all wait and open our boxes on the same day. So today is the reveal. The stocking are gorgeous and it has been fun as the photos came in to see how each of us interpreted the theme. We designed and filled our stockings with goodies and then mailed to our partner. Below are the photos of our stockings and a little thank you I sent to each of the gals. The stockings are in no particular order just how they came up on the computer. I am already thinking of next year :) and what we could do and to being more organized time wise so I can invite more ga

Today: Chaos, Cooking, Cleaning and Creating

Image
What a day. I think I put the "Labor" into Labor Day. After yesterday, where I basically sat all day I needed to get going. And get going I did. From laundry to cleaning to grocery shopping to creating I have had a busy day. I have decided that what I eat sucks. I rarely cook a good meal and then at bedtime I am back to starving. So in my great wisdom I decided I needed to get with it and start fixing better meals for myself. Cooking for 1 is not the most inspiring thing. I am so used to cooking for larger groups and I tend to make too much. any how armed with a list for the grocery store and determination I headed out. I shopped and shopped, loaded all the groceries into the car and unloaded all the groceries from the car when I got home. From there it was a whirlwind of mixing and making my meals for the week. But let's be honest I probably made enough for 2 weeks plus. Groceries waiting to be put away and made into meals It only took about 30 minutes to whip this all t
