quilted






"those were sure good times when those hollywood people were doing cartoons..."
-eli's comment after watching some oldie goldie Loonie Tunes.


i have been a bit disjointed lately. i haven't checked my email or my messages on my phone. i have not slept the last few nights, worrying/checking on eli and searching for homes online. now that our house has sold, we are in a position to really, go anywhere. nothing is holding us back and everywhere is being considered. it is kind of a crazy situation to be in. it is like someone handing you a million dollars and asking "now, what are you going to do with it?" there are so many things to consider, choices to make, needs/wants to be met. it is a true mind game. just ask yourself, if all your crap was packed, no debt, you could work anywhere - where would you go? would you stay put?

oh dear.

so, yeah, i am a bit disconnected.
i should probably do some internet banking, look at my calendar and jump back into life.

being so out of it, i looked at my phone today and realized i had 2 voicemails. one of the calls was from the quilter that is working on my quilts. she said the quilts were done and i could come and get them. ALL RIGHT! i buzzed down south and picked them up today. i think they look great. i need to bind them and give them a good wash and they will be done.

eli is still suffering from stomach cramps, ETC. today was the first day we saw some firming up of things... hopefully he is on the upswing of this funny bug.

ok, got to go make some choices, choices, choices.

NOTE: the million dollar question is rhetorical. no, i don't have a million dollars in the bank... just in case you were wondering :)

It's a great position to be in! Seems overwhelming but I am sure when you find the right place you will feel it! I love the quilts. Hope E feels better soon!

Quilts are gorgeous Jess! Love 'em all! Hope Eli is feeling better. Spencer had what sounds like the same thing a few months ago. Agonizing stomach pain with all that goes with it. It lasted about 10 days! Poor kid! Hope Eli's isn't that long! Good luck in your home search. Are you thinking Cali or anywhere??? Denver is a great place and VERY central to the whole nation/continent! :-)
