I need to write.  I have so many things to write about: adoption updates, writing updates, stitchery updates, friend updates, work updates.  All of it is swirling around in the ole' brain pan, but none have yet come to completion enough to formulate a structure.  And without structure, I ramble and never get to a point.  So I continue to wait and ( Read more... )

I have finally finished my cross stich project!  Within the adoption world, the "waiting game" is a killer.  One thing people suggest to do during this period is to start a project specifically related to the baby; a scrapbook, make a photo album in preparation, paint the nursery, etc.  John's sister, while she was pregnant with Cameron, crocheted ( Read more... )

I have too many things to do.  If only I had endless energy and didn't have to work... or hell, even sleep... then maybe, just maybe I could get half of them done this week. 

I don't want to go to work in the morning.  I want to sleep in, make really good coffee and spend the day with the kitties, stitching away.  I'm finally making some good progress on my work in progress; I don't want to crash the train now.  But I have things to do.  So how about I just stay home tomorrow, okay?  Does that sound good?  I know it's ( Read more... )

The witch made a stitch, but the stitch was a bitch and popped another stitch out, making the witch give a shout. "Damn you!" she hollered, smoke rising from her collar and thrust the stitch back in. Cross stitch witch FTW.

As if I don't have a million other things to do... I'm thinking and planning again ( Read more... )

I like it.  Magic happens. 

Today is the first day that I've gotten over six hours of sleep in a month! Not counting weekends, just work-days. I love my job, it seriously couldn't get any better. *Knocks on wood to avoiding jinxing* I've note written in a while, but I've been trying to get into new routines during the week and my weekends have been and will be busy. I ( Read more... )

I'm in a funk. Nothing on the internet interests me, nor the computer. I'm not in the mood to read, nor in the mood to write. *gasp* I know! I've done some dishes, I have more to do. I guess I can work on my hat band for my cowboy hat, but I'm not in the mood. There must be something wrong with me. This week, I've wanted to get to work early ( Read more... )
