Ramblings

I'm going to ramble while I listen to my Media professor do the same. Oh! So boring today! All about the news. I don't watch or listen to the news and only read what I want to know. sigh* 

I was so sad to see that my stats for this blog are completely wrong, and doctored if you will. Spammers send out feelers to blogs and boost the numbers, but really, they aren't people reading the blog. Sadness. Oh well. This is for me, right?  Onward and upward!

I am so in looooove with Burda Style!  Lots of patterns, some free, but tons of really good instructions about sewing like a pro!  One feature I wish I could take advantage of are the webinars. I really seem to do everything electronically, so these seems perfect to me. The latest is:  
Simplifying the Serger: Getting the Most From This Specialty Sewing Machine.

The crazy thing is that Hughesnet, my internet service provider, actually blocks BurdaStyle!  Can you believe it?! Bunch of commies.  So, the only way I can view the website is on the teeny-tiny screen on my phone. more sighing*

Virginia Field Trips

I really love field trips! They break up the monotony of schooling from textbooks. This site:

Virginia Field Trips - A to Z Home's Cool Homeschooling in Virginia

has some great suggestions for trips! We have done most of them, but this is a short list. There is so much more to do in Virginia, so much to see!
