Day 326

We skipped the gym today, so I slept in and it was glorious.
When I did get up I did my chores then I sat down and took off those two rows fro. The quilt, resewed some of the seams and then ordered the fabric we decided on. And I cut the fabric for the first border, I need to see that on... Maybe next week.

When Josh got home we made cheater Chicken pot pie.
It was pretty good.

Day 325

My client came over and saw the quilt today, she wants it two rows shorter. So I need to take the rows off... We talked about how she wants is quilted, and the backing and border, now to pick out more fabric. Yey!

Then I got distracted after my MAT studying and my Spanish practicing with filling out my application.
I have a couple things I need to ask the school about my address, and my next step is to write a personal statement... Yikes! Why do I think I would make a good librarian?

Josh had to work late, I picked him up at 8pm, so instead of making dinner we went out and then we watched a show and headed to bed. We are super exciting...

Days 323 and 324

Monday was the usual laundry and chores. I was feeling super motivated and got almost everything done I needed to.
And over the weekend Josh and I talked about it and we are both going to get our masters. He just needs to apply and I have to take a test, so I started studying.

On Tuesday I finished this beast of a top. It is a little bigger than I expected it to be...

Then I did more catching up on my calendar quilt.
I rocked out my July and August blocks.
This was all I had planned, so now I need to go through my fabric and see what I have and what I need for the September and October blocks.

Then we made dinner
Hoisin shrimp, except we couldn't find the hoisin sauce, so we used stir fry sauce, it was really good.




Day 322

After a mostly lazy day we headed to the gym for a run, I had a great 5k, I really think the lifting weight workout in the morning is helping me get through my run again.

Mr hung out with his square most of the day.

Then we made delicious apple cinnamon pork chops.
We will make these again

Day 321

Today was Halloween, so we skipped a run in the afternoon, and after all it was raining. So Mr wanted to be all cuddly 
And I prepared for Halloween
Our only Halloween decoration.
We got 6 trick or treaters, some of the, were dressed up like Katerinas and a witch I don't remember what else. We have a ton of extra candy! Now I know why everyone gains weight between Halloween and New Years!


Day 319 and 320

Turns out our Spanish teacher quit again. So no more Spanish class for the rest of the year. Ugh why is it so hard to get a good Spanish class? I am going to keep up with Rosetta Stone as long as I'm home... A month off will be a blow to my Spanish I'm sure! Yikes!

On Friday I finally did some catching up on my calendar quilt.
June block done.

Then Josh and I tried out a new restaurant, it was no good... We won't be going back.

Day 318

 I spent most of my day working on my client quilt.
It's too big for my sewing room, I'm done with the top except 3 seams, I need to get these done before I head back to the US so I can order backing and talk to the client about a border and binding.

I also finished watching all 10 seasons of friends... It was sad when it was over... It was a good show, I had never watched it before...
But now what do I watch? I seriously have nothing!!!

Day 317

After the gym I slacked off a bit then I spent my day cleaning the master bath, I'm so happy it's clean now! And with mostly window closed season coming up it should stay dust free... So that is good news! How ever since there isn't an exhaust fan, it will get mildewy... Yuck...

Then in the evening I hung out with Mr., Josh had people in town so he was out to dinner.
