I didn't know. I often wonder when I'm at JoAnn's (which isn't very often anymore since our little LQS opened in New Iberia) or Hobby Lobby if any of our QB members are in there at the same time as I am. We should wear some type of badge or something -- maybe a bit bow in our hair. Only kidding, of course.
kinda like meeting people from my knitting site (ravelry) in random places too.

Running away from home is good for everyone. I do it for a weekend all by myself at least once every other year! I go for my in laws cabin and only take the dog with me. I watch chick flicks, sew and read long into the night with no guilt! I think it is a good refresher for myself and my hubby realizes how much I do around here! Good for every woman who takes care of herself too!

I just did it on Monday. I am in the process of leaving my 9.5 year job. I quit - it was my choice, but the training of the new person has been extremely emotionally draining - mentally hard... and I am just tired... I left my boys in bed on Monday morning and just went shopping - went to Barnes and Noble (had to get a couple of reading books for them for school), went to McDonalds for a needed coke and some not so needed French fries :) - and on to WalMart for some other things - including a trip to the fabric dept. Found some nice fabrics for a table runner - but there was no one in the dept cutting that day - :( so I just headed towards the 30 minute wait in line and went on home. Later one of my ds's asked me, "Where did you go all day on Monday?" I had gotten home at 11:30 - hardly 'all day' - but just enough... :)

I am so ready to run away from home, I asked my hubby today if he wants to go with me, cuz I am going. Sometime soon! I plan to have a wonderful time with or without him! I am sure it will involve quilt shops on the road, he might be a bit board! So I may have to go myself, oh if that is what I got to do, then I just got to do it! :lol:

When I'm really stressed after work or just a bad day, I love to sit and sew. In a very short time, I'm relaxed and it helps tremendously!
