1000 Posts? Wow I Had No Idea!

I started to do this post on Blogger, and saw that this is my 1000th post! Amazing!

So in honor of that? Well, I'd already decided to acknowledge that I fell down on the job today and didn't notify you early enough that today was "National Wear Red" day (for Women's Heart Disease, a cause near & dear to MY heart). I did wear red, I hope you did, too...but even if you didn't? Stop by Womenheart and familiarize yourself with the symptoms of women's heart disease, okay? What? You know the signs? Guess what? It's really really really easy to forget - and to think...oh, well, it's not that! So if you have one of those symptoms? Remember what a good friend who's a EMT said to me: "We don't care if it turns out to be indigestion, we're rather you'd call us and still be alive, just in case it's NOT indigestion!"

So don't forget - you are never too busy to have a heart attack, and heart disease doesn't care what you wear!

Now on to more enjoyable stuff? Yesterday, the Mustang Sally leftovers from K arrived, so I'd already planned to work this weekend on finishing up my Spiralucious (in red). I'd also thought I'd really LIKE to make Knitty's Heart and in thinking... "hmmm... what do I have that's red?" I suddenly realized I not only had what will be leftovers from Spiralucious, but also the Claudia Chocolate Cherry to use. So there's my plan there.

Tonight, DD and I went out for a Chinese buffet "Girls' Night Out" - something that's kinda unfair to my son-in-law since he's the daycare provider and has only "Boys' Days IN" - then we shopped a bit...stopped at Barnes & Noble (the new store on the OTHER side of town) and got Chocolate Raspberry Mochas (her treat, I did dinner!) and then I picked up this issue of Artful Blogging...
I was showing it to DD, as she'd never seen it before and of course, being all graphically inclined, I knew she'd enjoy it.

"Do you need a new blog template?" she asked.

"Um...why yes!"

"What do you want...?"

"Well, you know me...pink and pretty and probably some roses ..."

Don't be surprised if you don't see it for a bit - she works awfully hard. But I'm hopeful she really will consider making something special for her Dear Mother.

Wouldn't that be the perfect 1000th post present?
