I received this from an online friend, and had to share.
60 Minutes Correspondent Andy Rooney (CBS)
As I grow in age, I value women over 40 most of all. Here are just a few reasons why:
A woman over 40 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, "What are you thinking?" She doesn't care what you think.
If a woman over 40 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting.
Women over 40 are dignified. They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant. Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it.
Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved. They know what it's like to be unappreciated.
Women get psychic as they age. You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 40.
Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 40 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.
Older women are forthright and honest. They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk if you are acting like one. You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.
Yes, we p raise women over 40 for a multitude of reasons. Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal. For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 40, there is a bald, paunchy relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22-year old waitress. Ladies, I apologize. For all those men who say, "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?", here's an update for you. Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage. Why? Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!

Sewing Frenzy
I've been on a bit of a sewing frenzy this weekend. It started out yesterday with these 3 pincushions.
Then I moved onto making two of these fun sewing kits.
Here is the inside. There are pockets for items such as thread, buttons, measuring tape, and two needle books, and a built in pin cushion. These were fun to make, and will make fun gifts.
This morning I made this fun and easy bedside caddy. No more searching for the remotes.
Last week I made this fun tote for a swap I'm hosting on about.com's quilting forum.
That's it for today. I've got to clean this messy house, and we have company coming for dinner tonight.

A funny that Al shared with me
A store that sells new husbands has just opened in New York City, where a
woman may go to choose a husband.
Among the instructions at the entrance is a description of how the store
operates:
You may visit this store ONLY ONCE! There are six floors and the value
of the product increase as the shopper ascends the flights.
The shopper may choose any item from a particular floor, or may choose
to go up to the next floor, but you cannot go back down except to exit the
building!
So, a woman goes to the Husband Store to find a husband.
On the first floor the sign on the door reads:
Floor 1 - These men Have Jobs.
The second floor sign reads:
Floor 2 - These men Have Jobs and Love Kids.
The third floor sign reads:
Floor 3 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, and are Extremely Good Looking.
"Wow," she thinks, but feels compelled to keep going.
She goes to the fourth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 4 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Good Looking and
Help With Housework.
"Oh, mercy me!" she exclaims, "I can hardly stand it!"
Still, she goes to the fifth floor and the sign reads:
Floor 5 - These men Have Jobs, Love Kids, are Drop-dead Gorgeous, Help
with Housework, and have a Strong Romantic Streak.
She is so tempted to stay, but she goes on to the sixth floor and the sign
reads:
Floor 6 - You are visitor 31,456,012 to this floor. There are no men on
this floor. This floor exists
solely as proof that women are impossible to please. Thank you for shopping
at the Husband Store.
To avoid gender bias charges, the store's owner also opened a New Wives
store just across the street.
The first floor has wives that love sex.
The second floor has wives that love sex and have money.
The third through sixth floors have never been visited.

Tote Sweet Swap
I'm hosting a different swap on about.com's quilting forum. This swap is for Totes and sweets in a spring theme. I like to go for walks with my dog in the spring (theoretically that is) so, I made a tote bag out of 2 orphan doggie blocks I had. It has a lining and pockets inside.
