Briefly interrupted by life

OK…no pictures today (sob, I’m sorry!).  It has been, as usual, chaos, and more chaos than usual!   I am happy to report, however, there are lots of pictures and things to share….I just need to find a few extra hours in the day to process and re-size the photos, then write and blog!

The biggest interrupted by life was going to the International Quilt Festival in Houston, where I demo’d, met friends, ate Mexican (HEAVENLY!), met new friends, had fun, spent some money on fabric and paints, tried a new product that I think is gonna be awesome, and generally got exhausted and happy.

Then there are the teenager and kid and aging mom things that tend to interrupt life.  And filling out insurance claims.  And selling our house (going like a dream) and buying our new house (not so much…I’ll dish AFTER the closing is done and we own the house, but it has been unnecessarily difficult because of one person…more in maybe February or March on that one).  It looks like, at long last, that all WILL come off without a hitch (I’m an optimist), and in late January we’ll be moving to a new house about 4 miles away (same school district).

Then, on the way home from Houston, I was too tired for the level of attention required by the book I had.  So while changing planes in Dallas (which by the way is like a big city shopping mall with airplane gates added!) I went into the Barnes and Noble (complete with Starbucks) and bought The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.   Ooops.  That means I have been DEVOURING that book and the two sequels.  I am halfway through the last book, and will surface when done LOL!
Thanks for checking in, and I promise good pictures and fun stuff SOON, Cheers, Sarah

    Funny about the book–I’m half way through the second one. I was very dismayed to find the author has passed away and there will be no fourth…
    Hope all continues to go well with houses, kids and mom. Looking forward to pictures and your reveal of the new product that you claim will be awesome. Happy Holiday!

    Those are the best books that I have read in years!

    Devour is the correct word. Thankfully, I was well into the 2nd book on a LONG trans-Atlantic flight. Can’t wait for the 3rd book to arrive from my library.

    That book is on my Kindle wish list — I may buy it one of these days having heard such good things about it.
    It’s always such a pity when one discovers a good author — and then suddenly has no more books to enjoy. The Fates can be so unkind!

    LOVED the Larsson trilogy. I, too, am so disappointed that there won’t be any more….:(

    I wish you the very best with all the rest of you life….you do sound busy…..moving is never easy, even when all goes well…..

    Those books are awesome – I finally succumbed this summer and couldn’t put them down. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
