Welcome to my blog

My Blog on beginner quilting. But many other subjects are covered. It is my space to comment on things going on in my life and reflects my opinion only. As a friend of mine says: It's mine and I will write what I want in it. As the title says, I would rather be quilting... But sometimes other stuff tends to come up and get in the way.
For updates about the website, check out the OBO Updates Blog.

Please note: this entry is a “catch up” entry, written in retrospect, about what was happening at the time (it covers the time period, but was written in November).

Still waiting...

I started this entry way back in June, thinking I was in Group 2 of the BB2 rollout. It took over a month for the SBI tech team to “migrate” the thousands of web sites in Group 2 – those lucky buggers!

Please Wait (little circle of doom) Waiting

Okay don’t tell me you haven’t encountered the little circle of doom. There’s a cute scene in the movie Date Night where the wife is trying to do something on a computer and time is of the essence and of course, the little circle of doom is doing its thing. “Come on, come on...”

Yesterday, I wrote that John Lennon said something when I should have used the word “wrote”. In being curious about something credited about the line – it was attributed to the song “Beautiful Boy” – so I got out my DVD of “Mr. Holland’s Opus” because I remembered it was featured in the movie. It was fun to watch those scenes again, waiting for those words.

That movie is one of my favorites because it reminds me of my step-father who was an English/Journalism teacher who did the same thing: touch many lives with his teaching style. As graduations are taking place all over, it’s nice to remember those people who believed in you when you didn’t and, in some way, inspired you to do something good – maybe even great.

John Lennon once said “Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.” Was he ever correct! Or in my case Life Just Happened. Period.
