Crafty Cassie

For some reason last night about 6 o'clock I got the sudden urge to be crafty.  Sometimes the urge strikes me, but it comes in the form of scrapbooking.  Not last night, no I wanted to cross-stitch. Clint and I were going to run to Taco Bell to get dinner, so we stopped by Hobby Lobby really fast to get me a project. I found a really cute Fleece Blanket that had a puppy on it.  It was a printed cross-stitch, not counted, so I knew I'd be able to finish it quickly.  By the time we got home from Hobby Lobby, dinner, and Hy-Vee it was almost 8.  I started it and worked until after 10 almost 11 I think.  Got up this morning with Clint and fixed him breakfast and coffee before he left to go play at the church.  I worked on it for about 45 minutes, and then decided that I was going to go back to bed for a bit.  Clint gets up at 5:30 and leaves at 6:30, so you know that it was still early.  I put in a movie and feel asleep until about 9:30.  Went back to work on it until Mom, Dad, and Barb got here for lunch. Today is Clint's birthday.  So we were going to go to lunch as soon as he got back from church.

We ate at a Japanese Steakhouse and Sushi Bar here in Lee's Summit.   We tend to go here for our birthdays because it's somewhat expensive, and it's a fun environment.  Funny thing happened while we were there.  When the cook lite the grill at our table, a spark from the match came flying up and actually landed in my hair. I managed to get it before it did anything to my hair, but today of all days I put in hairspray (something I don't normally do). Lunch was really great, and a lot of fun.  I went to the Shopping Center with Barb after we ate to do some walking around.  I think it might have helped a bit.

When I got home from that I went back to work on my project for Dade.  I'm almost finished with it.  Just have the small minor details left. We ordered pizza for dinner tonight for Clint's birthday.  All the boys are over here, and there's going to be some EOD action going on.  Clint right now is being interviewed by a guy named Ryan Macklin.  He does a podcast for gaming.  So it's really exciting for Clint to be interviewed. He's up in Dade's room doing the interview over the phone.  I can hear him pacing back and forth.  That's what he does when he's on the phone.  I think it's cute.

I made two cakes for Clint's birthday.  I know, it's crazy to make two cakes, but I was in the baking mood.  So I made  yellow cake with vanilla icing that has candy chips in it, and then a jello cake. I'm a big fan of the jello cake.  This was my first time making it.   It's pretty darn tasty.

Slinky is sitting here patiently waiting for me to finish this blog.  I promised to cuddle up on the couch with him wrapped in the blanket.  I've got the Oscars on right now.  I'm glad that it's on ABC, because that station is picked up the best on our rabbit ears. Clint took a picture of Slinky and I the other day while we were sleeping on the couch. We make wonderful snuggle buddies don't you think!
