So you are making us all sweaters for Christmas, right? I want mine to be purple!!!!

I got a book yesterday titled 'Teach yourself to crochet" In small print it said 'left handed instructions included'



It worked!!! I am crocheting and it looks the way it's supposed to~!!! My mom is happy I can finally do it but ...... that it took me 5 minutes with a book to catch on when she's been trying to teach me for 25 years or so~!!

my mom is still making payments to the surgeon who did her first bypass 12 years ago! Since then she's accumulated about another $300,000 for the other bypass and the 2 month long stays in the hospital for mystery ailments.

she stressed and worried and about made herself sick over the bills until I pointed out that if she has no money, there's nothing she can do about it. She's been to court 3 times for different bills, each time speaking with the attorney for whichever bill was trying to be collected to explain her situation (disabled, no income, no insurance), and each time the debt has been forgiven and she doesn't get collection letters anymore.


Now she has to go to court for what it cost to demolish the house. This one is going to be hard for her. She would never have left the house if she didn't HAVE to, and she certainly would have paid for the demolition if she could. Just looking at the pictures of the house that were in the court documents makes her cry :(

*the only thing worse than seeing my mother cry was when the chemo and radiation made my dad so weak that I had to button his shirts for him :( No 16 year old should ever have to experience that*

Oh girl .. I have a big plastic box of yarn in my garage that I don't use anymore (my hands are too sore to crotchet) .. I can send you some ... PM your address :p I swear I was giving it to goodwill anyway! I'm not sure what colors are there but if you have favorites, let me know and I'll do my best!
