Update :
Okay so i am foreclosing on my housewe decided that's the best thing to do. we are gonna rent for awhile and get caught up so that we can purchase a bigger better more comfortable one, i have 2 older boys in a teeny tiny small room who are getting to be teenagers , our water heater burst and ruined the downstairs floor . which is more to replace then the house is worth. I hate my neighborhood and it is getting pretty bad her especially when the fences are tagged by gangs every other night and the police are up and down your street as much as the post man. Plus their is a canal across from me and alot of robberies have happened because of it . and i hate the JR high my son will be going too
... needless to say it took this to happen for me to realize it, Plus My husband is miserable and want us to have alot better.
BUT i do have till june to find a diff place to live . It was a tough desicion but it is the right thing to do ..![]()
with that said My dh brought me home a lil gift todayfor all that i have put up with and the stress of his loosing his job and the kids and just wanted to see my passion for life continue, I kinda fell into a depression spiral and it scared him.

He hands me a receipt for a brand new Singer quantum Futura CE350 embroidery machine
It is on order and i should have it next week sometime
It was on sale at Jo-anns Sat and he said that if he would have told me about it i would have said No (Which he is right)
I had been researching them and had wondered what kind i would want If we got our income taxes back so i kept putting it off and finally he made me call Jhammy and ask her what she had SAT. (THanks Jhammy)
He said he did not see spending money on something less when this one was on sale ..
I can honestly say i am still wanting to take it back but at the same time i WANT it ...![]()
I am just taking a selfish moment in lifeand i am gonna keep it . I love to sew and it helps with my Mood and self esteem so much ...

As for the gout. George has had it for a few yrs. Tell him he needs to cut out things with uric acid. Tomatoes are a big one!!! Shrimp and beer are another issue. George is actually on meds daily because of it. Poor guy if he eats too much salad he has stomach issues since he has no colon if he eats too much uric acid his foot gets bad! Actually not this last time but the time before when we went to WDW he had to miss the last day of our trip because the food was too rich for him and he wasn't drinking enough water to help flush everything out of his system. Poor guy had to hang out in the hotel room all day why we where at the parks because he couldn't walk his gout was so bad!
YEAH!!!look at my ticker!
we got our taxes done over the weekend, and we are paying off the rest for the house we will be staying in. WOO HOO!![]()
Look up foods with URIC ACID and have him stay away from those. You would be surprised at what has them. DH does drink beer but hates fish he tried changing his diet to eat healthy and it got worse. Then he researched what actually has it. His big culprit was tomatoes.He hasn't gone to the doctor yet so we're not sure but all of the symptoms fit. The funny thing is my husband has never touched a shell fish or drop of alcohol in his life. We don't eat seafood or a lot of red meat. We do eat a lot of beans which are high in purines. We are cutting back to once or twice a week w/ red meat, watching the beans and starting him on B1 and vitamin C supplements along w/ LOTS of water and more regular excercise in hopes to keep him off meds. He even tried to eat blueberries in his pancakes b/c blueberries are apparently really good for people w/ gout.That didn't go over so well (bluberries, cherries and strawberries all are good but he doesn't like any of them) But it hasn't been fun. The first flair up he had he couldn't walk for 2 weeks. This last time it only lasted for a couple of days thankfully. But it was the weekend and it was over before we could get to the Dr.s for testing.Hopefully his next flair up will happen during the week so we can get the blood tests he needs.

So it seems like there are several of us traveling to WDW in May. What are everyone's travel dates? Could there be another dismeet in the future?
We will be there May 9-16.

I see pink dot with it, purple dot with it, I think light green dot but I cant make out the color of the one bug though... Very cute fabric.Great job on the sorcerer Mickey applique!
Have you guys noticed the prices for fabric at Joann online are about half of the in store price?
I have been fooled by this twice.. I know I should have learned the first time.
Saw something online and ran over to the store to get it and the price was higher... no shipping so it all works out about the same, but just seems odd to me.
While I was there today I looked through the remnant bins... I have found some great pieces the last few times. And I picked a half yard of this up......

now, what to I do with a half yard of this?![]()
Hubby is out of town for a few days and I promised I wouldn't go crazy at the fabric stores while he was gone, so I would like to work with what I have... but thats not muchI have a couple of scraps of some pink dots that match but not enough to really help. Although I could use it to make a applique like the lady bugs on the fabric. My DD is only 2 and a half so she doesn't take much fabric yet. I figure a pillowcase dress is an option, but anything else come to mind?
