Only a few work days left... only a few school days left... we're all gearing up for summer around here. School lets out on the 23rd of May and that's my last day of work as well. Then we head out west for long weekend to celebrate Nick's graduation from San Diego State University. He's graduting with a degree in Mathematics Magna Cum Laude. WOW!
My month long project is going well! I'm enjoying the process. I'll fill you in (like anyone reads this) when I'm done. Right now it's mine to wallow in and enjoy. The other project will be keeping me very busy as well... we're starting the next stage in the next few days. That I will discuss when the time is right.
Wow, all these secrets. I feel like a little girl.
The house is not selling. We have had no showings in the last few weeks, but there was a bigger number than expected viewings on the MLS this weekend. That may be a good sign. We lowered our price, again... hoping to get this house sold. One good thing is that the san diego/temecula market is dropping at a faster rate than we are... so we'll be good to go once the time is right.
Yesterday was mother's day! We woke up late and lounged around. Derrick worked from 7-3 and met us at a scuba/birthday party that Gavin attended. Gavin had a blast and did very well with all the gear. What a great idea for a bunch of 10 year old boys!
Anyhow... pray for our house to sell... we want to get West. Now!! kisses and coffee!

oh my goodness....
this week is crazy. Gavin's been sick for days. Missed two baseball games. Poor guy. Tomorrow is Graham's play and pizza dinner. Can't wait for that.
Friday is the Spring Fling at the school. The kids always have a great time.
I've still not sold on etsy. I'm hoping and waiting and excited and it will happen.
The project I spoke of in my first blog is moving to fruition. I have to work on the next step. I'm excited.
The other one month project is coming along great. 3 days in. I'll let you know when I'm done.

T.G.I.F.
Other than the fact that we have two, count them.... TWO baseball games at 8 am tomorrow... I'm excited it's friday night. Work this week was a bit crazy. We had a client that didn't totally understand how screen printing works and looks and it made our week quite hectic. Big job, lots of money riding on it... lots of extra work. It worked out great in the end, thanks to alot of hard work by our printers and our artist. Thanks, too.. to alot of patience from our office staff. I honestly didn't have anything to do with it all. ;-) At least I'm honest.
The boys are doing well.. they had pajamma day at school today. Gavin changed his mind last minute and wore normal clothes. Graham loved wearing pjs all day. ;-)
Still no lookers on the house. It's starting to stress me a bit. I know that in time this will all happen.... I just have to hang on to the faith.
On a cool note, I get to buy my computer from my office. It's all set up the way I like it and that makes me happy.
We got good news from two wonderful families this week. One is trying to move to Temecula, and the other Is moving to Escondido. It just reiterates the fact that we should move back, that we'll have great people near by.
I cannot wait for us to start our new life. ;-)

Whew.....
So I got a treasury today on etsy. You have no idea what that means, but it's really cool and I get to list some of my favorite things. You can only have one at a time and my first treasury is all cherries.

Check it out!!!
On another note Derrick's cousin is a jerk and isn't going to be at the hospital for his mother's surgery tomorrow. That is making me angry right now. Some day when it's too late that man is going to figure out what is important in life. Not his selfishness, that's for sure.
Derrick is currently on his way home, and I need to get to bed and turn off HGTV.
'night all... I'll catch up with you next time.

NIce easy day...
So it's Sunday... a day to rest. Derrick has taken Graham and they've headed off to see a Sidewinders game. It's Little League day at the park, free tickets. Graham is all set for a fun day with Dad. Gavin is going to have a great day, too! He's been invited to his friends birthday party... Adam. They are great friends and he's looking forward to a fun party. It's got a sports theme, and I think they are running relays and doing sports type games. It should be really fun.
I, on the other hand, will have a few hours to myself. whew!
I think I'm going to come home and work on a few baby quilts I've got lined up upstairs. I'll put pix up on my etsy site and make a new folder on my myspace. I'm thinking of having two etsy sites... many people do that... so that I can have my purses on cherrygarage, and have baby goods on cherrygaragetoo. Not sure yet.
Anyhow.... today should be a somewhat productive day.
I'm still ready and waiting for people to come look at the house.
We really need this thing to sell. ;-(

Going into the weekend....
Wow. This has been a crazy week. Gavin had a game tonight. He played well. His team played well... they won!
It's Friday night, Derrick is on his way home and all is right in my world. They boys went to bed exhausted at 10pm... Dutch is sleeping away and I just got a nice email from out real estate agent. I hope this house will sell so we can get on with our lives and start over again in California. I am so excited to be back home.
I've been thinking a lot about our family back home. Poor Ashley (our cousin's girlfriend) lost her father this week. She is such an amazing person, done amazing things with so much adversity. It makes me cry just thinking of the pain she's feeling for her family this week. Auntie Prudy is going in for surgery, it's serious and I'm nervous for her well being.
This has been a tough week. Thankfully it's almost over and we can start anew.
kisses.... ;-)

Stressfull week
So every night for the last few weeks seems to be dedicated to Little League Baseball. Going to Gavin's games is fun! The boys are strong and fast and they enjoy the game. There is one boy, however, who cries when he fails and throws a dramatic fit. That is not fun. I cannot stand a poor sport.
Graham's games are fun to watch for the comedy aspect of baseball. 5, 6 and 7 year old boys playing coach pitch baseball is silly and quirky and a joy to see.
My husband has been working the 3 to 11 shift. That sucks. Period. We see him for 10 minutes in the morning, he leaves before we all get home... and then he gets home after we've all passed out from exhaustion. Life is crazy when he's on this shift. He switches to the day shift again soon... life will return to normal.
I'm not getting in a creative mood this week.. I think I'm too tired. I have a baby quilt I get to make!!! and I can't get the steam rolling to finish it. I'm actually going to make a few... and post them on my etsy account. www.cherrygarage.etsy.com
Etsy.com is a website that is like ebay.... but for crafters. It's a site that allows only handmade goods and artsy vintage items. It's a fun forum and I'm enjoying have a "website" that is mine.
My "fun project" I spoke of in my last post may come to fruition. I'm excited about the future of this project. I still cannot share details... but I will when the time is right. The next step will start soon and I'm very excited. In the mean time I'm going to make something every day for my etsy site (once I'm not working).
Oh... and I'm starting another personal project next monday but I don't want anyone to know about that till i'm done with it. It takes a month... you'll have to wait.
