I hate jury duty and computer viruses!
Well here goes......
"It's been 2 long months since my last confession" Or should I say since my last post? LOL Anyways, I just haven't really been online lately. Our puter got a virus a while back and then I had to wipe it all out and dowload all the new and up to date programs which seemed like days with our dial up connection. Then I installed the mcafee and somehow we got another virus before I could get all the DAT files up to date! So I hd to wipe it all out again and was so annoyed with the whole thing that I just haven't been on it! Nothing really exciting to date has happened. Actually I had jury duty like 2 weeks ago and the panel I was on waited around til the preliminaries were over with and apprently the 2 trials that we were to be chosen for - in both cases plead guilty. A lady came out and told us there was no need for us. Then we played the waiting game again because the lady came out to tell us that we may still be needed for 2 other trials later that afternoon. So we waited in the halls for about another hour, and then we wnet into the courtroom where the judge thanked us for being there today and that we were dismissed. He also told us that the week we were there was the week that was for family violence & sex offenders! The 2 morning cases that we were to be chosen for were both sexual assualt on a child! How sickening! I sure know they wouldn't have liked my opinion on what to do them! It is just sad to see that there are so many of these cases that they have to set aside a week out of each month just for these kinds of cases! Just makes me sad and angry to think about it!
On to another subject! Well, yesterday I started on another wedding dress for another one of my nieces! Maybe I should go into the business! Anyway this is a sister of the one who got married on Valentine's day that I made the other dress & cake for. This dress is going to be alot easier than her sisters was also this time I have a whole month to make this one, and I am making the maid of honors dress too! I guess Yahweh wants to give me lots of practice before I have to make wedding dresses for my own daughters! I remember after my fourth daughter was born the pediatrician came into my room and told me and my husband he didn't envy us having 4 weddings to pay for! I think maybe that is why Yahweh blessed me with the gift to make wedding cakes and dresses! Sota like a dress rehearsal for my own daughters. Ya think? So I will be busy again this month making dresses, but will try to post when I can!
Aside from those two things nothing else much is going on. Oh actually I managed to get in some yard work that was much needed. I spent 2 1/2 hours weed eating the back yard. The weeds were up to my waist and it was way overdue. I weed-eated so much my hand was shaking for a long time that night from all the weed-eater vibrations. I also managed to put all my 50 plants and 75 cacti. I have had them in the garage from when it got cold and they were in much need of sunshine so before it rained AGAIN, I put them out and they are loving it! It seems like it has rained so much lately. I need a few good dry days so that maybe I can plant some flowers and stuff! Well that is all I have to write for now! Gotta go work on the dress! Take care everybody and Yah Bless!
