My Fave Hobby ~ Cross Stitch

Very Angry and Hurt!!

2011-11-07T13:07:00.000-08:00

I have been in a cross stitch group for a very long time, i have loved this designers charts for many years. And today i get an email from her saying i have been kicked out of her group cause of heresay and she didn't even bother to ask me about it she just kicked me out.
I have sent her 3 emails which she hasnt replyed too :(
It's unfair that designers do this.
Why the hell would i want to share there charts.
I don't even share and would never ever share.
Shame the people that do the charts never get listened too

Miss 13's first school dance!

2011-04-08T16:24:00.000-07:00

This evening was a school dance at the college for the Junior's. Miss 13 went, but she wasn't there for long ;( She was dancing on the school stage and got pushed and fall and hurt her hand :( The school rang me so i went and got her. Poor girl was crying and all she wanted to do was go back to the dance lol. Got her home and she was in more tears with the pain. So rang an ambulance and they came and checked her out, they said she didn't have a broken hand (thank goodness) but to go to the hospital for an xray. So they took us to the hospital, which is 40 mins away from us. We got there at 9pm and by the time we got to see a doctor it was 2am. It wasn't broken, but they gave her half a cast cause it was the same hand she hurt in December. We had no way of getting home so we stayed in the waiting room at the hospital. A nice nurse came out and said there was a bed at the back for Crystal. So we went back there and she went to sleep again. We didn't get home till after 7pm saturday night :( I had no sleep at the hospital so was very tired. And both of us went to bed very early saturday night lol.

Today is April the 1st which also means it's April Fool's Day. April Fools' Day is celebrated in different countries around the world on April 1 every year. Sometimes referred to as All Fools' Day, April 1 is not a national holiday, but is widely recognized and celebrated as a day when many people play all kinds of jokes and foolishness. The day is marked by the commission of good humoured or funny jokes, hoaxes, and other practical jokes of varying sophistication on friends, family members, teachers, neighbors, work associates, etc. Origins
Precursors of April Fools Day include the Roman festival of Hilaria, held March 25,^[1] and the Medieval Festival of Fools, held December 28,^[2] still a day on which pranks are played in Spanish-speaking countries.
In Chaucer's Canterbury Tales (1392), the "Nun's Priest's Tale" is set Syn March bigan thritty dayes and two.^[3] Modern scholars believe that there is a copying error in the extant manuscripts and that Chaucer actually wrote, Syn March was gon.^[4] Thus the passage originally meant 32 days after March, i.e. May 2,^[5] the anniversary of the engagement of King Richard II of England toAnne of Bohemia, which took place in 1381. Readers apparently misunderstood this line to mean "March 32", i.e. April 1.^[6] In Chaucer's tale, the vain cock Chauntecleer is tricked by a fox.
In 1508, French poet Eloy d'Amerval referred to a poisson d’avril (April fool, literally "April fish"), a possible reference to the holiday.^[7] In 1539, Flemish poet Eduard de Dene wrote of a nobleman who sent his servants on foolish errands on April 1.^[5] In 1686, John Aubrey referred to the holiday as "Fooles holy day", the first British reference.^[5] On April 1, 1698, several people were tricked into going to the Tower of London to "see the Lions washed".^[5]
In the Middle Ages, New Year's Day was celebrated on March 25 in most European towns.^[8] In some areas of France, New Year's was a week-long holiday ending on April 1.^[2]^[1] Many writers suggest that April Fools originated because those who celebrated on the January 1 made fun of those who celebrated on other dates.^[1] The use of the January 1 as New Year's Day was common in France by the mid-sixteenth century,^[5] and this date was adopted officially in 1564 by the Edict of Roussillon.
Other prank days in the world
Iranians play jokes on each other on the 13th day of the Persian new year (Norouz), which falls on April 1 or April 2. This day, celebrated as far back as 536 BC, is called Sizdah Bedar and is the oldest prank-tradition in the world still alive today; this fact has led many to believe that April Fools' Day has its origins in this tradition.^[9]
The April 1 tradition in France and French-speaking Canada includes poisson d'avril (literally "April's fish"), attempting to attach a paper fish to the victim's back without being noticed. This is also widespread in other nations, such as Italy, where the term Pesce d'aprile (literally "April's fish") is also used to refer to any jokes done during the day. In Spanish-speaking countries, similar pranks are practiced on December 28, día de los Santos Inocentes, the "Day of the Holy Innocents". This custom also exists in certain areas of Belgium, including the province ofAntwerp. The Flemish tradition is for children to lock out their parents or teachers, only letting them in if they promise to bring treats the same evening or the next day.
Under the Joseon dynasty of Korea, the royal family and courtiers were allowed to lie and fool each other, regardless of their hierarchy, on the first snowy day of the year. They would stuff snow inside bowls and send it to the victim of the prank with fake excuses. The recipient of the snow was thought to be a loser in the game and had to grant a wish of the sender. Because pranks were not deliberately planned, they were harmless and were often done as benevolence towards royal servants.^{[citation needed]}
In Poland, prima aprilis ("April 1" in Latin) is a day full of jokes; various hoaxes are prepared by people, media (which sometimes cooperate to make the "information" more credible) and even public institutions. Serious activities are usually avoided. This conviction is so strong that the anti-Turkish alliance with Leopold I signed on April 1, 1683, was backdated to March 31.
In Scotland, April Fools' Day is traditionally called Hunt-the-Gowk Day ("gowk" is Scots for a cuckoo or a foolish person), although this name has fallen into disuse. The traditional prank is to ask someone to deliver a sealed message requesting help of some sort. In fact, the message reads "Dinna laugh, dinna smile. Hunt the gowk another mile". The recipient, upon reading it, will explain he can only help if he first contacts another person, and sends the victim to this person with an identical message, with the same result.
In Denmark, May 1 is known as "Maj-kat", meaning "May-cat", and is historically identical to April Fools' Day. However, Danes also celebrate April Fools' Day ("aprilsnar"), and pranks on May 1, are much less frequent.
In Spain and Ibero-America, an equivalent date is December 28, Christian day of celebration of the Massacre of the Innocents. The Christian celebration is a holiday in its own right, a religious one, but the tradition of pranks is not, though the latter is observed yearly. After somebody plays a joke or a prank on somebody else, the joker usually cries out, in some regions of Ibero-America: "Inocente palomita que te dejaste engañar" ("You innocent little dove that let yourself be fooled"). In Spain, it is common to say just "Inocente!" ("Innocent!"). Nevertheless, in the Spanish island of Menorca, "Dia d'enganyar" ("Fooling day") is celebrated on April 1 because Menorca was a British possession during part of the 18th century.^{[citation needed]}

Moving Day

2011-02-28T16:03:00.000-08:00

Today we moved into a much better house. The other house we were in, we lived there for almost 6years. And all it did was flood :( We had nothing but trouble, and the landlord didn't care. She lived oversea's, and is living the high life! While we live in her rubbish, flooded, falling to bits house. To be honest. don't know how we lived there for so long. Now we have a wonderful house. 3 bedrooms, 2 toilets, a shower and a bath. A garage. And it's big. :) Now i just have to save up and buy us a fridge (which we don't have) and me a new bed.
And this house is closer to school and a shop. Sweet!!
Once we knew the house got sold, we packed everything we didn't need so by the time we moved everything was packed and done. We have great friends that helped us move.
