Go for the Gold!
No pun intended, but when I made the uneducated choice to go to Midas Creek Elementary, I struck gold. It is a beautiful, new school, with a wonderful, supportive principal (who told my supervisor that he couldn't say enough good things about me)(love that guy), and I have a big gorgeous office. But best off all, my team rocks! We are all from Idaho, three from the Blackfoot area and me. Sheila is the resource teacher and team leader. She is about my age, funny as hell, we even weigh the same! Best of all, she loves buying clothes! I can't believe my luck! We shop together and create outfits to show each other. The other day when we were lamenting our middle age middles, Sheila came up with the idea that whoever lost 8 pounds first could have something from the other's closet. We have been tormenting each other ever since, mentioning the most very expensive items in the other's wardrobe as possible rewards. This has had such a motivating effect on me. I have gained 3 pounds.

I put up a quilt today and started tying it. I usually have the recipient in mind when I make a quilt. I made a quilt for each of my children when they graduated from high school. I used denim. Think about it. But I have no one in mind for this one so I am thinking. I know who wants it.
ReplyDeleteEven the word "Quilt" has a comforting sound to it. Even if it does rhyme with "guilt." I don't know if this is a memory or one of those false memories that you wish you had, but I "remember" sitting around a quilt with other women, chatting. Quilting is a mindless enough task that some productive chatting can also be accomplished. No wonder women need therapists, no one quilts anymore. Yes, I think there was a quilt up once at a "Homemaking Day" a long time ago. Maybe someone will come quilt with me if I invite them.
