~Bored ? Never~

I've been asked many times how can I stand to
be home all of the time..not go out or really go
anywhere, didn't I get bored? I have never had a
problem with staying home. I never get bored. I've
always found something to do. I love to sew and
craft and have always had a craft/sewing room.
When I treated it as a job, my sewing that is, I
treated it as a job, I was in there early morning, took
a break like I would do at any of the jobs I had. I
always have had a sewing business. Whether it was
making something from a pattern for someone to
alterations, I even made hats. I've done so many craft
shows its amazing, I made lap and baby quilts when I
was in the hellhome, and sold them until they made a
rule the staff could not give a resident money for any
reason.

I have sewn from the time I can remember going and
spending the week end with my grandma and grandpa,
sitting on the front porch with a needle and thread, a
couple scraps of material grandma gave me putting
together dresses for the little babydolls I was playing
with, then run to show her what I had made,all excited
pleased with myself, and her looking it over, up and
down, saying "mom will like this, you did good!" I would
smile and run back out to make something else. I have
always taken my sewing machine with me or gotten
one, because I know I can make some money with it.
I have one now, its very hard to use, but if I HAD to?
You bet..I'd be in there figuring out SOMETHING so I
could use it better and I probly could sell what I could
make. :-) YES,I'm bragging :-) well when your
GORGEOUS...and..GOOD...you are ALLOWED to
brag- lol... im kidding (no Im not) :-D

I love to go out..yes..I wouldnt pass up a drive down
the back roads for anything..but if I dont venture out
for a week or two or no matter HOW long, I have too
many things I enjoy doing, yes, besides my computer.
I admit, I would really feel cut off from the world with
out this machine..but bored or that? NO, I would NOT
get bored.I enjoy just about everything but my sewing?
I bet I could think of a few things I could make if I did
get offline, I could fire up that machine..and if I didnt?
well I know alot of other things to make too. dream
catchers..jewelery, kittie toys..and only need glue..lol..
I used to love to play the playstation we had..I got
really good at basketball..I would play for a few hours
during the day..and then my ex & brother n law would
play and I would challenge, they KNOWING ..well
women DONT play these games..HA! I beat them both
they were surprised.. I did better at those games or
pool or golf than I did at those other games like mario
or what ever they were, I could NOT jump those guys.
I was bad, but I had fun.

I guess i should admit I DO have another HOBBY..
lol..ya dont say it.. EATING ..no no - - - I do like good
food though..lunch..wasnt too bad..was chop suey
had no real taste, but I was hungry and I ate it..
Raelynn came today and cleaned and did laundry
so
I'm squeaky clean for the week end..Now if I could
just get Dutch to clean up after himself I would be ok.
Well i dont know about y'all but that kind of food..
chinese I think, doesnt really STAY with you so I am
hungry .. I have some good cheese and crackers I
think I will get and see if I can stay awake and watch
TV for a few, I know.LOTSA LUCK .lol. NItey Nite.. :-)

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? Luv Ya! Thanks!
Always, Lois****

May God Bless you today,
I'm so honored to call you friend,
I pray the Lord will keep you safe,
Until I write again...

    When I go out of New York City - I am away from the BBC World Service and out of the loop so to speak. One of these days, I will buy a boom box converter and a hi-fi plug inadapter for my sirius satellite service - then I wouldn't feel isolated. I am a News addict. I once saw camel auctions in timbuctou on the ITN - I hope to see the chinese great gorge dam on tv one of these days.

    I don't get bored by myself either. I'm sorry that I don't live close enough to give you a ride.

    Momar- There are lots of inexpensive shortwave radios around that work much better than inexpensive radios of the past. When I travel by car my Grundig emergency AM/FM/SW radio (batteries, adapter, or hand-cranked, also can charge my cell phone) goes with me. I listen to the BBC on public radio stations throughout New England, via shortwave, and on the computer.
