Who likes thunder

I don't like thunder and lightning. It scares me. It always has. I can remember once sitting in the bathroom with my son (he was 18 months!) and it thunder jumped up and I ran out into the hallway and then was like 'oh no, your the Mom now, you have to be brave'!! We have had some real thunder storms this week, even during the day!! Lost power last night for about 4 hours and tonite is was cable.

Which is why I watched 2 movies tonite. Couldn't tell you the last time I did that. I watched the movie FAILURE TO LAUNCH a cute romantic comedy. And who couldn't watch a movie with Matthew McConaughey in it. He is so cute!! And then I watched one of my favorite movies (my all time favorite movie is THE WAY WE WERE - but tonite I watched A LEAGUE OF THEIR OWN. I love that movie. I watched movies and cross stitched. Finished up something for my sister, will put that in the mail tomorrow. And then I have to finish up my wedding sampler and start thinking about a baby gift. So much to do -

What a week

Well, we had quite a week here in. A major heat wave with temperatures in the high 90's, a thunder storm on Tuesday night that knocked power out. For me only 3 hours, can't really complain but my son and his wife were with out power for about 30 hours, some other friends 48 hours and on the news they say some people won't have power until Sunday. I can't imagine that. I know I was at a loss at what to do. The fact that it was night and dark make it more difficult. We lost power again for 2.5 hours on Thursday afternoon and at least I could keep my self busy cross stitching.

Speaking of cross stitching, I had a cross stitching retreat this past weekend. A bunch of us - 10 in fact - got together at our friends Susan house who lives out in Brookville PA. We had a great weekend of catching up, stitching, eating, stitching, laughing, stitching...you get the drift. I always get inspired after one of my stitching weekend. We have some much fun. I got started on my wedding gift. Hopefully I'll make good progress stitching on it this weekend. Also am working on this cute coaster kit for my daughter. They have drinks on them - a cosmo, long island ice tea etc. Very cute.

Keep cool.
