Waste baskets that talk
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: October 10, 2009
Since we all live in a world of dings, buzzers, and other noise makers, I wish someone would come up with a waste basket that says “empty me, empty me, empty me”.
If my washing machine makes noises when it’s done, the dryer buzzes when it’s done, the timer on the stove let’s me know when [...]
Sons of Anarchy grave
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: October 9, 2009
While traveling the Turquoise Trail in New Mexico, we drove past this cemetery. I stomped on the brakes and said “gotta get a picture of this”…..Mark will love it….it’s a Sons of Anarchy grave. (At least that’s what I named it)

Author Carrie Host contacted hubby and wanted to know if he would read her book and then blog about it. He wasn’t interested in this particular book and asked me if I would do it. I readily agreed.
WOW! What a journey she has been through, not to mention her husband, family and friends! Soon after [...]
I guess this means I’m selfish….

I don’t usually think of myself as a selfish person but after pondering this for a week or so, I guess I am. What do you think?
A couple years ago, I wanted my own digital camera. The reason being, that hubby was unable to be patient and devote any time to help me figure it out. [...]
A very challenging “last evening”
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: September 24, 2009
Received a few emails saying I should upgrade my iphone. I tried, couldn’t figure out was going on. Hubby volunteered to do, and I readily accepted this generous offer.
Directions say that it will remove everything from your iphone, but then return it in a new, updated version. That’s just plain bull hockey!
He’s says “it’s done [...]
A snake in the garage! Oh My!
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: September 19, 2009
While getting ready to head to the grocery this a.m., I opened the garage door and as the door was going up, I saw something flipping and flopping! It was a friggin’ 15 foot snake!
So I immediately go running into the house, screaming and yelling “there’s a snake in the garage”! My knight in shining [...]
Egads! What do I take to school for Kindergarten snacks?
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: September 1, 2009
I received a call this morning from a close friend. To give a happy ending to a sad story, they have just adopted the paternal grandfather’s granddaughter, giving this little girl, Abby a wonderful chance to have a productive and successful life.
However, today was Granny’s day to take snacks for the kindergartners. She was in [...]

Since so many of our “trusted”, and I use that term loosely, politicians are unable to “keep it in their pants”, I would like to propose a possible solution that could cut down on a lot of infidelity; thereby, not publicly humiliating their spouses and families.
We live in a different world than 40+ years ago, [...]
Won’t be mowing the backyard….
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: August 2, 2009
Hubby came in yesterday and wanted to know if I was ever going to mow the backyard again! I replied “no”….he said well then I’ll let you know I ran over a snake! Now I’m not sure I’ll even want to sit in the back yard again…I do not handle mice/rats or snakes well. Bugs [...]
Adam Lambert haircut
Posted by: keepingyouinstitches on: May 21, 2009
Way back in the 60’s when I was in high school, the Beatles had just arrived. I was the first one in the little burg we lived in to get a Ringo Starr haircut!
I’ve just made an appointment for a haircut this afternoon and told my hairdresser, “I want the Adam Lambert-do” – of course [...]
Get Stitches by RSS Reader
- Ah….life in the fast lane November 10, 2009At least that’s how I like to think of it! Things have been testy around the house since the bionic man got a new knee. Seems like we’ve had lots of repairmen, which ultimately leads to lots of barking. Derby, our found on the streets of Nashville dog, absolutely cannot help himself when it comes to [...]keepingyouinstitches
- A new and colorful knee! October 24, 2009Tuesday (and this is Saturday) Mark got a new knee; it’s getting more and more colorful! Came home Thursday and trotted him off to rehab on Friday morning. Coloring goes pretty much around the whole knee….wowee! Or maybe I should say owie! Staples come out Nov. 3 and yes, there will be documentation of that too; most [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Very technologically challenged….oh yes, I am October 18, 2009For the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how I was receiving voice mails on my cell phone when it was sitting right next to me! This has been going on for about a week now. Lo and behold, there’s a tiny button on the side of the iphone that if it gets moved, mutes [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Hubby getting new knee………finally! October 17, 2009OK, readers, it’s Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday is new knee day for hubby. He’s already commented a couple of times what a long week-end this will be; add the cold, crappy weather that is predicted, and it will be even longer. I’m trying to play cruise director in making plans that will keep him busy. So [...]keepingyouinstitches
- Generic vs. generic drugs October 13, 2009I’m so fortunate to have health insurance…..some would call it good health insurance. However, today I received a letter from the insurance company stating that the drug I take for acid reflux is now going to be re-classified and will have a high cost…oh, wait, “cost may increase” are the actual words. How absolutely dumb do [. […]keepingyouinstitches
