My nemesis… just who or what is my nemesis? Some mean bully who beat me up in grade school?
no..
Spiders, snakes and all things creepy"?
no..
The dark?
no…
No.. my nemesis is a soft spoken, gentle man… my eye doctor! Yep.. today I was in there to have the pressure in my eyes checked. I gave him all sorts of trouble.. you can do just about anything to me.. fill a tooth, give me a shot, draw blood.. whatever! But get that stinkin’ blue light pressure checker thing near my eye and I am like a rabid animal backed into a corner! And the eye drops to make me not feel them? I think that he used half the bottle just to get one in each eye..
I am sure next time I come in he will run away screaming..
.. perhaps I am HIS nemesis..
see you in May Doc!
Well the clouds and rain held off so we could have fun being chaperones for the youth group to go to Cedar Point!
First up .. an early lunch when we arrived..
This is only half of the kids.. we had 21, and ended up ‘adopting’ one extra friend who we ran into for a total of 22!
Then on to the rides!!
my list..
1. Raptor ( I love the smell of roller coasters in the morning!)
2. Thunder Canyon (came out dry!)
3. Snake River Falls (came out very wet)
4. Wave Swings (you know.. to dry off a bit)
5. Sky Hawk (very scary after waiting in line, to get to the front and find that the harness system was glitchy and wait while they tested it.. then yes.. actually ride it!)
6. Wicked Twister (wicked fun!)
7. Power Tower (wish they would let you wear your glasses.. would be nice to see the view from the top!)
8. Super Himalaya
and let’s top if off with:
9. Midway Carousel!
I told Brian I would win him a prize..
And I did..
Fun was had by all. Today, despite using sun block.. we are dealing with a bit of sunburn, the rain is back too. So a nice quite day at home is in order!
Now to add the set of snaps I bought at the store, and write up the pattern! It’s looking good!
After a successful morning of seaming here is what the project now looks like..
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Is it a sweater?
NOPE>
We need a field shot!
Check my Bright Kite account later today for a field shot! I need to go get a model… and some snaps.. preferably magnetic ones..
What? A sneak peek a day early? Wow.. are the planets aligned? I am never early!
Here you go:
Whassat?
The color pooling is sort of fun! I hadn’t noticed it fully till I saw the photo! So my mission is to seam this together into a 3 dimensional object, and to get my son to do some equations for me to get the measurements for my next little free project!
Sound like fun?
