Yep, it's a weird Wednesday for sure. I woke up and didn't want to get out of bed. I feel strongly that some adult should be awake to see the kids off school and basically it was the ony thing getting me up but today, I decided the earliest could get out the door without me.
The weird part? I didn't feel guilty and she remembered to take the garbage to curb without reminder. Did feel the earth shift just a little bit around 6:30am ET?
That's all I have today, folks, except to follow up my last WW post, I checked thoroughly and there actually is NO place for birds (or any other animal) to nest or even sneak into the roof from the side of the house the noises are from. It looks like I can start spinning a tale for my SIL after all now. I'll let you know how it goes.
muh ah ha ha ha

Weird Wednesday (I almost forgot!)
I was coming to the computer and thinking I must blog something today. I read an old blog post from someone else about posting the process of a quilt and decided to show you the fabrics and pattern I chose for my SIL #2 quilt for Christmas.
Until, that is, I logged on and saw a Yahoo headline about Oprah surprising her audience with a trip but the host country is also paying for it. I had to see what that was about.

Now, to my friendly Aussie's out there, I have one thing to say, "I hope to hell it works." For me, I still think that it will be hard to drum tourism for one of the places with some of the most deadly annimals/insects/etc. on earth under any circumstances. Best of luck to you!
And alright, just because I have it ready, here is the fabric (from mom's collection in my stash) and the pattern (Baby Harlequin in McCalls Quick Quilts October/November 2010 magazine) for SIL #2 quilt. I will not make strips of the diamonds, just use these fabrics to have random colored diamonds all over the quilt.
What do you think? The flowered fabric at the top and bottom will be the backing.
Cheers! Beck

Weird Wednesday
A nod to my blogging friends who have themed days, I'm adding "Weird Wednesday" to the theme list. Write about any weird topic or experience you may not normally write about and do it today. Post a comment letting us know, if you did so we can go read. :)
My first Weird Wednesday post... Ghosts/Spirits/Poltergeists... whatever you want to call them. Do you believe they exist?
Well, I do. I've had too many unexplained things occur to allow me to think they do not exist. However, I know many don't believe this but I am not writing this to debate it. Just to say that on my new property, there is a little cemetary we know of and there is reportedly another one somewhere which was a slave cemetary. I thought nothing more of this except that it was neat to have so much history so near to us for the kids and I to talk about (for instance, we know there is a confederate soldier in the marked cemetary).
That was, until one night out of the blue, I couldn't sleep and well into the night, I kept hearing footsteps. Only, the footsteps were in the closet. Huh?
So I listened, I knew no one was in that closet, kids were asleep, hubs was gone in TN but footsteps started and stopped. Then started again, like pacing.
Do you know what I did? I fell asleep wondering what the hell that could be. I heard the same thing the next several nights. Just when I was thinking it might be neat to scare the crap out of my SIL with this when she comes to visit, I am outside one day and see a couple birds fly off from the house.
The vicinity of the birds starting point was the side of the house where my bedroom and closet were. Now I must go see if there's a nest in there and figure out how their noise could be mistaken for footstep sounds.
Or, maybe I'll just stick to my original plan to freak my SIL because she's so easy to spook. :)
And that, is my Weird Wednesday post.
Cheers! Beck
