Easily enticed . . .

I also like numbers . . .

I read myOlivebranch blog this morning and she posted this number countdown so I am here to try it as well.

10 quarters per washing machine is what it took at the laundry yesterday to do my wash. I have been fortunate so far to go home to Bozeman enough (or to Denver to Gail’s) and have not had to visit the pay facilities yet. It wasn’t half bad – nice and clean – not too busy.

9 months until I get to go to Houston for the International Quilt Festival. My good friend, Gail, and I made our plans yesterday on the phone and we are very excited. I went 3 years ago and said then I would go every year, but haven’t gone since. We have been friends since we were 18 and randomly assigned as roommates at college.

8 is my favorite number – not sure why – but I love the way it sounds and the way your hand goes around when you make it. It has rhythm, twists, and no ends.

7 students were in my class this weekend. It is a class on change and systems thinking for education doc students and the groups are always small, but several could not make it as Wyoming had many, many closed roads including most of I-80 through the state on Friday. They drive in from the regular places of work throughout the state as well as northern Colorado. It is a winter to remember everywhere!

6 rhymes with “sticks” and I always think of my favorite furniture when I hear that. I saw this painted furniture the first time in Portland, OR and have loved it every since. Go check it out – Sticks.

5 great "soul friends” – Betty, Gail, Laurena, Patricia, Ronda – alphabetical order and each are a special blessing!

4 meals I eat each day – breakfast – early lunch – afternoon lunch – supper (all small) since I have been on Weight Watchers online. I have been doing this for about 4 months and have enjoyed success and feel so much better. It is all good!

3 months until I am back in Bozeman full time and back to my quilting and fiber art full time! This has been a fun experience, but one semester would have been enough “fun” to have experienced it appropriately for me! This semester feels like a trip you plan that is just a bit “too long”. I am now doing the count down.

2 sons, 2 daughters-in-law, and 2 grands! The best part of me!

1 Bob – and he is my life partner! It just took me a few years to find him, but it is so worth the journey.

Guess I am blogging again! January was just such a month of sadness! It feels okay!
