awkward and awesome

awkward:

• i may or may not have listened to the automated message from the orthodontist for 5 minutes so i could speak like the computer.

 hello. 

this is dr. moss's office. 

we have matthew scheduled for an appointment tomorrow at 9:20. 

this message will repeat. [beep]

• the following conversation - matthew: mom, have you seen a 2012 penny yet? me: yes. matthew: what does it look like?
• my fabric stash has grown by about 40 yards in the last two weeks. i am sick. i need an intervention.

awesome:

• i have completed 2 quilt tops this week and i have two more close to completion. unfortunately there is an awkward side of this awesomeness.  i have 7 quilt tops that need finished.
• this week has gone by quickly.
• matthew and i have been doing science projects all week. we've created small explotions and he built battery operated toy from scratch that works!
• 6 1/2 inch 36 patch quilt blocks. i have 10 so far.  i only need about 300 more to make something pretty.
• i've been working for 1 year this week and i really love the work i do. it's so rewarding.
• matthew should be getting his braces off in less than 2 months and we only have 1 more payment to make. his smile will be worth over $8,000 dollars.  

have a great day!
