A Market Song, a new start and my dogs

The following is to be sung to the tune of Leaving on a Jet Plane.

Oh my bags are packed I'm ready to go.

I'm waiting here beside the door.

I can't wait for my ride to be here.

But that won't be for hours yet

So until then I'll browse the net

Already I'm so anxious I could cry....

So I'll post this song on my blog

Nashville Market here I come

My Dear Hubs had better let me go

Cause I'm leaving in a Blazer 

I'll be in the car for thirteen hours

Oh friends I can't wait to go...  

There's going to be a lot of pretty things

It'll be so hard to pick and choose

I'll tell you now I might keep them for myself

Every place I go I'll think of you

Every chart I buy I'll buy for you

When I get back we'll have a Market night 

So I'll post this song on my blog

Nashville Market here I come

My dear hubs had better let me go

Cause I'm leaving in a Blazer

I'll be in the car for thirteen hours

Oh friends I can't wait to go...

Now the time has come for me to leave you

One more minute and I will post this

Close your eyes and I'll be on my way

Dream about the days to come

The sights, the sounds, the charts galore

About the times I won't have to say

So I'll post this song on my blog

Nashville Market here I come

My dear hubs had better let me go

Cause I'm leaving in a Blazer

I'll be in the car for Thirteen hours

Oh friends I can't wait to go....

Cause I'm leaving in a Blazer

I'll be in the car for thirteen hours

Oh friends I can't wait to go...

Okay, how many of you actually sang that??  I sang it for Dan.  He told me not to quit my day job.  Ouch!!  He's going to miss me while I'm gone the rat bastard. (said with much love and affection) 

I guess you've guessed by now that I am leaving for Nashville in the morning.  My bags are packed and waiting at the front door.  The laundry is done, the house is clean and Amy is coming home for the weekend to help Dan with the dogs.  Not that Dan couldn't take care of them himself but I haven't been away from Rags since we got her and she is very attached to me.  We're not sure how she's going to react to my being gone. Hopefully she'll take it in stride.  I haven't posted a pic of her since right after we adopted her so I snapped a couple of her today.  She always looks like she's just crawled out from under a rug.  That hair is something else!  She's settled in quite nicely and I can't imagine life without her.

Look mom, I killed it dead!

The first year I went to Nashville, Gracie Lou went missing.  They couldn't find her anywhere.  They called and called for her but she was no where to be found.  Where did she turn up you ask?  Somehow she had gotten inside the TV armoire, had crawled over all the dvd's and was cowering in the back.  We've never figured out how she managed that Houdini trick but she handles my absence just fine these days.  She went to the groomer's today and since she's looking so spiffy I'll share a pic of her too.

In stitching news...I finished my Strawberry Hill Sampler but haven't taken a picture of it yet.  I want to finish finish it before I do.  And instead of going back to Holly Berry Farm or one of the other millions of WIP's I have running amok around here I instead started Midnight Watch by BlackBird Designs.  I want to stitch a few Halloween things this year and chose that one to start with.  I haven't gotten too far but I'm pleased with my progress considering the amount of time I've had to stitch.  Sorry for the wrinkles.  No time to iron it.  I'm not sure of the color name but it's on 40ct. over 2 using the called for fibers.

That's all I have for now.  I'm going to go sit and dig through my stuff to see what project I want to take with me to Nashville just in case I actually have some time to stitch. Usually we sit in the lobby and watch everyone come and go on Friday and I generally will do a bit of stitching at that time so if you're heading to Market too and see me sitting there please come over and say hi!

See ya when I get back!
