March 8-9, 2014 Weekend, WSU Shocker Madness, KS My Stitch Officers Meeting, and a Lazy Sunday

My weekend started off on Friday when the company I work for decided to host a Shocker Watch Party. For those of you who are not from Wichita; Wichita State University basketball team is undefeated at 34-0. And when I found out that we were going to have the watch party at work and KWCH Channel 12 was going to be at our facility to video tape my fellow employees watching the game on Friday. I couldn’t resist the urge to make a pair of Shocker Slippers on Thursday and get free advertisement for my crochet pieces. Since I am not a sports fan I chose to stay out of the room to cover phones and catch up on some of my work. But in the end, when I got a chance I went over to the reporter and showed her my Shocker slippers and she took a picture of them. I also just happened to have my business card in my hand so I gave it to her. 😉 You all can go to the link here to see the Training room at iSi all decorated for the party and listen to some of my co-workers talk on camera.

Anyway I got 3 orders out of posting a picture of my Shocker slippers on Facebook and I plan on making more pairs to have available at the Kansas Barn Sale.

As I was thinking about WSU and sports I thought back to the time when I was a cheerleader in 7^th grade. I am having lunch with my fellow cheerleader Debbie on the left. We have been best friends since we were 10 and we have lunch together on our birthdays every year. We also get together every three months when it’s not our birthdays. I remember cheering at the games and how I practiced all the cheers. It must have made my Mom nuts with me jumping around the house doing cheers all the time. I remember the cost of the uniforms, the letter M (for Maize, Kansas) and how each letter of our name seemed so expensive. But Mom always made sure that I had what I needed. She was also the one who made all of our cheerleading uniforms. Which I’m sure helped with financing the things that I needed for my uniform. The funny thing about it is that I don’t remember her complaining about the cost. Anyway I thought you would get a kick out of the picture of me as a cheerleader. 😉

On Saturday I prepared lunch for the KS My Stitch crochet guild officers meeting. This time I decided to make homemade corn dogs, fried pickles, baked beans, and potato salad. Everyone loved the food and I was so happy that all of the officers could be at the meeting this month. I love spending time with these ladies that make our guild so special. 🙂

The rest of the day was spent making slipper soles, and then we ended the day with watching Despicable Me 2.

Sunday I woke with a tickle in my throat and I felt like I had been run over by a truck. So I lay back down and slept until 8:00 am. Wow, I haven’t slept that late in a long time. I finished up some more slippers and made a pot of vegetable beef soup and while it was simmering a way I took a nap. Around 4:00 pm John came in and we both lay down and we took a nap together. Then we had dinner and I usually let John do the dishes by himself because he takes FOREVAH to wash a dish and it makes me crazy. But on Sunday I decided to stay behind and help him, it made me a little crazy sometimes but I tried to be patient with him so that I could help him out. I thought he looked so cute doing the dishes so I asked him to smile for the camera, can you tell? He’s such a good guy. Except whenever I close the blinds and he opens them; when I turn the heat up, he turns it down; or when I turn the light on, he turns it off. Does anyone else do this with their spouses? So how was your weekend? I hope everyone has a wonderful week.
