Went downstate to Champaign, Il to stay a few days with my downstate family. I got some great time with the whole crew, and then a few days “just us girls.”  What do the Baumann girls do when they are at loose ends (besides marathon TV).  Well this weekend we started teaching ourselves how to quilt.  I got a tutorial from my MIL Pat a few weeks ago, I did a little research on the internet and then we just waded in.  We used leftover fabric from making Aprons (something Mom and I did a few weeks ago) to make matching pot holders. We tried a whole bunch of techniques, most of them with a reasonable amount of success considering our skill level.

Jane checks herself out in the mirror
95 lbs in sneakers and jeans
She thinks she can lose another 5 pounds
Oh that’s how we get women’s magazines

Dick checks himself out in the mirror
Its not body by Jake its belly by Cheetos
He thinks hes 5 sit ups from Mel Gibson
That’s how we get fat guys in speedos


I am now a victim of my music hording days. Either I own this and ripped it badly, or got this from someone else. In Itunes it is just listed as Track 4 – It’s a Man’s World.  I am foremost looking to find out who the artist is.
