quilts and recipes and contact and brakes!!!!

So the service group at church has been working on these " ugly" quilts for homeless people that have handles and are actually pretty cute. They are patch work squares that are sewn together with frayed edges and they fold up. But the whole group has been working on them and I decided I would be adventurous and try to make a quilt too. I can sew but I am by no means a seamstress. haha. So I thought that if I were to tackle a patch work one made out of my old shirts and things that wouldnt be too complicated. Well my mom had the brilliant idea that I should make Shaun a quilt!!! I am so excited. I mean really, what better way to stay warm than with a hand made quilt. Since he drives all over and ends up sleeping in a tin box essentially, I thought it would be a great way to feel close to him and occupy my time. I have picked out some really great " hunt-y boy-y" fabric as my mama and I put it. I just hope I dont ruin it.

Lately I have been dreaming recipes again. Like the " im going to open a tavern one day and want to have my own recipes" kind of dreams. I am almost always teaching someone how to do the recipe and I wake up thinking things are burning because I fell asleep. I really want to have a big enough kitchen or some hungry friends to try them out on.

Shaun has been bugging me to get contacts again. He knows I miss wearing them and that my glasses have been giving me headaches lately. I have been wearing contacts since the 4th grade and for the past 5 months I have had to wear my glasses. It has been awful. We went to Carowinds and I had an old pair with me that ended up being worse than not wearing glasses at all. So I digress, He sent me some money today and I walked in to the eye doctor .... eyes tested, Z V B E, Better one or two.... and 30 min later I was in contacts again!!!! THEN to make it even better he sent me enough money to FINALLY fix my brakes. We changed...well will changed my break pads about a month ago but my roaders were just for lack of a better term-shot. So Will bought the stuff today and changed my roaders!!!! my jeep no longer seems like the sketchiest car on the road with the rumble rumble rumble to a stop. If I didnt miss Shaun so much today would have been pretty amazing. I got the spend the whole day with my mom. I planned out my Christmas present for shaun... hopefully I can keep the secret. and had a good day over all.

on a side note I love my mom. I miss megan and tim. I miss katie, anna and brittany. I miss Jessie whom i have neglected to call. I miss utah and missouri. I miss tara, derek, beth, heather and derek. I miss Miekel and cassie. I miss MIRANDA RIANE. but i am happy today.
