No solace in being right…

  I was right: I didn’t get any sewing done.  Oh, well.  We didn’t even go for that test drive, I was simply too tired out at the end of the day. I did manage to run over to Michael’s before going to the gym to pick yarn for some new projects.  They have this fabulous [...]

So much to do.

  Tonight is supposed to be my sewing night, but I have a feeling that’s not going to happen.  I must go to the gym at some point tonight.  K and I are probably going to test drive a car (not to buy–we got one of those incentive deals where they’ll give you a gift card [...]

Productiveness of a different sort

  I had a meeting after work yesterday, which I’m at least sort of glad I went to.  I feel like I actually had some important contributions to the discussion, plus, I’ll get paid for my time.  Yay! After the meeting, I ran over to my parents house to pick up my dad’s portable PA that [...]

Feeling productive

  Last night was great.  I feel like I got so much accomplished.  Wish every evening could be like that. I made dinner as soon as I got home since K was going to have to leave again for a meeting.  After dinner, I did a bit of crocheting until K had to leave, and then [...]

I miss Dreamweaver

  I also miss having a computer that feels like it is mine.  I don’t really want to go through the trouble of loading things onto a computer that I’m only going to have for a few more months.  But then…I also miss my iTunes.   I had a whole day of grading yesterday during which I [...]

Conspiracy theories

  Do you ever feel like events are conspiring against you? K came down with some sort of cold last weekend, so I spent a lot of the weekend taking care of him and the rest of it taking care of other little things that needed doing or that I had committed to.  Then, Sunday night, [...]

A Stitch in Time

  Well, one flounce is done.  Two more to go.  I decided to just do three tucks, mostly because I was running out of length.  Should be fine.  I like how it looks, I think.  It looks kind of plain right now, but it will be better once I get the fringe on there and then [...]

Not what I expected

  So, I’ve been reading I Am Legend. It was one of the very few horror movies K has taken me to that actually interested me. Yes, it is still very scary, but it also has an interesting plot. My interest in the book was further peeked when I read a brief summary in 501 Must-Read [...]

Branching Out

  One again, I’m getting an opportunity to expand my teaching skills, this time, crossing over into my favorite hobby–costuming. For years now, I’ve never volunteered to teach any classes because I felt my own poor skills were nothing in comparison to many of my friends. Sure, I can sew well and make great costumes, but [...]

Rethinking

  Well, it has gotten to the point that I’d be cutting it close to get the Edwardian dress finished in time for the tea.  Not good, considering I should really get the secret CC26 dress done first.  So, I’ve decided to skip the tea.  Besides, I was already starting to worry that it is going [...]
