It wasn't the bullet that laid him to rest,. it was the low spark of high heeled boys.


Well Widespread Panic announced their spring tour. As always i checked it out and was REALLY excited when i saw the the band will actually be playing on my birthday. I have waited my whole life to see a show on my birthday and here my favorite band is actually going to be picking up their instruments on that day.
My boyfriends birthday is on Halloween, so we are always seeing shows of his favorite bands on that day. I mean everyone and their brother are playing that day, so it just depends on how far you are willing to travel for the show. In years past we have gone to New Orleans, San Francisco, Virginia (well Hampton Colosseum) and i am sure many more that i am not remembering. Not to mention the number of years we have spent at the Filmore here in Denver for a show on his birthday. So, this is my year. My birthday is actually going to be on a Friday AND PANIC is playing in the continental United States.
We talked about it last night, and again this morning and i think i really want to go to Chicago. So, we are going to try to work it out.. I can't believe it and am so excited. Tickets (well pre-sale) go on sale tomorrow AM. I hope we get tickets.
I can't really think of a better way to turn 35 than with JB singing to me all night, and then again the next night and then again the next night...

More work has been done on the puzzle and it will be finished up tonight. that is a guarantee.
I am almost done... it looks really cool. I will put some close up shots up here to show you how hard it really is.

I am also starting a patch work quilt with my new sewing machine. I plugged it in last night, got the bobbin put in, threaded, then messed it up.... start over.. got it back in, threaded, messed up...started over.. --- please stop me if you've heard this one. If you have not then you have never tried to teach yourself how to sew. After frustrating my boyfriend, i took a few deep breathes and tried again. finally i got it going. and was able to move from page one to page two of in instruction booklet. look at me go.. Now i know how to 'end my seams' or what ever it is called and i am able to sew two patched together without them ripping apart right away.. VERY EXCITING..
So, my quilt that has been on hold for about four years is back on the forefront. I have some really cool ideas that i want to try when i get the hang of this project.
I can't wait to go home and sew while watching Wheel of Fortune.. (yeah, i am so an 80 year old in a 34.8 year old body :)
have a great tueday and as a dear friend says at the end of most of his emails...
PANIC ON!!!!

The waiting is the hardest part.

Sorry about no posting yesterday, I don't know what i was thinking. I thought it was Tuesday all day and that i had written that yesterday. I seriously had to ask a co-worker this morning what day it was and completely surprised to hear that it was Thursday.. What is that about??? I totally lost a day and can't find it. I know that i didn't sleep through it and I know i lived it, but have can't believe it is really Thursday. Is that weird? OK, wait, don't answer that.
So, i changed my comments settings and now anyone that wants to comment can. No log in, no email addresses, just comment away. I know that i am probably opening a can of worms, but to be honest I have not had a can of worms in such a long time, that i thought it was time to get into that can again. So, comment all you want. I will read them all..
Love my puzzle? hate it? want to see some mutton busting, or don't. I want to know..
Well since you read this far i will reward you with some more puzzle.. enjoy the quad segment.

Puzzle and more

OK, so i have done a little more on my puzzle. Hope you enjoy it. it is coming along.
Hey, if you want a sneek peek to the next installment you can check out my Youtube page. Just search for Barefoot303 and You will see all my puzzle videos and my Cows on film that you might remember from a few months ago.
Snack time is the Original Chex Mix in the small packages.
I will take some home for the boyfriend.
It will be snowing to night in Denver. Not that much is expected though. And since my car rocks, no snow days for me. That's ok. I just had a major break for the last few weeks that it is good to get back on a schedule and stuff. We got the tree taken down and have unplugged the Christmas lights on the porch. I don't have the heart to take them down yet, sometimes they look so pretty when it is snowing and stuff... But the season is over and the sun is sticking around a minute longer each night.
So, To get my lazy butt back to the gym, i am making a new challenge to myself. I am going to not work with such an incline on the treadmill, but just see how far I can walk. My goal is to walk the distance to Coast Rica. I mean who wouldn't want to be always in route to Costa Rica? Well i will start tonight. Maybe i will let you know how far i got by the distance out of denver I can make. I was going to start the mileage from my house and see where i can go...
Wish me luck and here's the Puzzle part Trios.

I see the way you're acting like you're somebody else gets me frustrated

I have had it with trying to put up video.
I have tried for three days to get it to upload, but i am thinking that i have too large a file. So, this afternoon I will try to save it again in a smaller format and see what happens.
Sorry, I am sure you all are waiting for it, and i just can not deliver right now. But i was thinking the other day that the day i put up my first puzzle video i had 15 people watch it. Now, i am not sure who has a sadder life, me taping myself putting a puzzle together, or you for watching me put a puzzle together. Either way, I am glad you watched and enjoyed. Well at least watched.
I am very sorry to keep you all waiting though, and it is coming along. I am getting behind in posting and ahead is puzzling.

Well, that's about it. Today i am watching the stuffed monkey that runs the country giving his State of the Onion (yeah, that was on purpose) from last year. Riviting television. :)
I will post back about snack. Yesterday was pudding. (i had vanilla)
