First Saturday of September

Well, it has happened again, I was too busy to get much done this week (and sick, baby and I had nasty head colds for a few days). I did get a couple of adorable crochet hats done this week through. I will post a pic after they are given to their recipients, I don't want to give the surprise away.

Today we are going to my mother-in-law's house for my brother-in-law's birthday. It is his 21st so we are all getting together in the afternoon because he will be out with friends in the evening. Which is good because my hubby wants to be home in time to get the latest UFC pay-per-view fight and it comes on at 8:30 (though I'm not sure which time zone, this was all so much easier when we lived in Florida, it was always our time, now I'm never sure if it has been adjusted to ours or is still eastern).

Here is this week's T-shirt design from Too Long Dog:

Enjoy the weekend and I will post again soon (likely with some scrapbooking freebies and photos).

Labor Day 2008

Wow, what a crazy Labor Day. My infant son and I are sharing a nasty head cold but at least we are safe at home. We have been watching the news surrounding Hurricane Gustav and hope it doesn't become a major disaster for the Gulf Coast. I feel terrible for the poor people that have just now been able to move back or settle in and have to relive the trauma.
My hubby will probably be delayed coming home Thursday as we live in Texas and storms may delay or cancel his flight. :(

On a lighter note, professional football season kicks off this week, which will make many sports fans happy. It will also provide distraction from election season. I take politics seriously but I hate listening to pandering speeches and advertisements so I decide based on issues and ignore the media attention as much as possible. I find NPR helps a lot, though I do get tired of the attention there as well but I understand that is how many people get their information. At least it is better than watching or listening to local newscasts.

Don't forget to check out Too Long Dog for your online shopping needs, especially since gas prices will probably go up again thanks to the weather.

Have a great labor day folks!
