I tried to sew with my feet and it didn’t work out so well

(recap: July 2nd I caught the side of my foot on a broken, bent sewing needle stuck in my carpet in my sewing room. 7/6 went to the dr and was put on antibiotics and got a tetanus shot.) So my foot got a ton better last week. I had finished the antibiotics Wednesday, and by Friday I was walking normal, I even rode my bike that night. Saturday morning I ...

Harry Potter Midnight Show

It was so good! I didn't cry, thought I would. Like so many people I've spent so many years with Harry, it's been such a part of my life - so I'm sad it's over. I was the only person dressed up when Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone opened here 10 years ago (in my robe with my homemade paper patch and USC red and yellow striped cotton tie! I've ...

A Crazy Day

Today was crazy. Mel was in town with the baby (who is adorable) so we met her for breakfast. Waited nearly an hour and a half for a table, after being told 30min wait. Would've left if we realised it would be so long, but the manager comped our meals over it which was super nice. After we ate, walked Mel to her car and then started back to Ash's ...

FOOT!

Last night started making the blue trim for the dress. I like how it's coming along. Today I had the doctor's appointment. I hated to go but this was one instance where I wanted to be there and get this taken care of. It was really hurting this morning, to the point after I made it to the bathroom to brush my teeth, I just sat on the counter for ...

Beauty and the Beast Broadway!

Yesterday we had our tickets to Beauty and the Beast! I was super excited since I've never seen the broadway version. We had some of my fav seats in the whole theater, I got dressed up and took my opera glasses... it was fun LoL I really liked it. Unfortunately something went wrong with the Beast's transformation at the end and they had to drop the curtain, not once but ...

the pauper of the surf, the jester of Tortuga

Went to see Pirates last night - I liked it much more than the last two. The cool thing was almost everyone from work ended up there and in the same theater LOL Not a lot on the schedule for this weekend. I'm going to keep working on Marie, maybe scan some stuff.

post weekend

I got started on Marie Antoinette. Got my corset started, and my panniers cut out. A long way to go but it's a start. Otherwise didn't do a lot this weekend. Helped my mum move stuff out of her classroom, watched Doctor Who, did yardwork, and Ash came over today and made a sockmonkey. Basketball season is over, which I'm sad for because the Grizz lost and I won't have ...

All Clear

I finished reading Connie Willis' "All Clear" last night. It was SO GOOD. Seriously I know people who have read the first book, Blackout, but nobody else has read All Clear yet so I have no one to talk about it with!! I wanted to send the author a message saying how much I enjoyed it but she doesn't appear to have an email or guestbook on her site, so ...

weird day

today was my dad's birthday! :) We got up and and met my parents for lunch, after giving dad his present (ipad). After lunch we headed back to their house for dessert where we got stuck by strong thunderstorms. Didn't get home til around six. And now Chase is already in bed! He has a photoshoot at 3AM! Some party. So he went on to bed right after dinner. I'd disturb ...
