Worked on the first baby boy quilt today

I spent a few hours this afternoon designing the baby boy quilt that I am making specifically for the purpose of selling it. I am super impressed with myself. I bought graphing paper last night so that I could draw out exactly what I wanted along with colored pencils to get the colors on the page. The quilt design is pretty simple blocks, but I think it will look good. As soon as I'm done with the little girl and little boy quilts I want to make a quilt for my mom, her 50th birthday is February 22nd, and the only thing good enough I can think to make her for a present would be a nice big quilt!

Tonight we were supposed to have our friends Lindsey and Craig over for dinner but, of course, they bailed again. We almost plan for them to bail. I was going to wait until this afternoon to bail on them because I remembered that my two shows come on tonight and I didn't want to have to rush them out! But I should have known, Lindsey would back out on me before I had to back out on them!! We haven't been able to keep plans with them for months now!! Seriously, it doesn't matter who makes the plans, if it's our idea, they agree then back out the day of, if it's their idea we agree and they back out the day of.

I'm looking forward to getting a great workout in tonight. Yesterday I worked on my abs and legs with the strength training and tonight I'm going to work on arms. I wish I had some 2lb weights that I could hold in my hands while I'm on the treadmill.

I need to get these cut and head to Joann's to buy a white fabric and a tan fabric.
