Heh, another computer thingy going on. I've got my laptop pressed up against my sister's ac cord for power since it's too small to plug into mine. I just spent nearly 3 hours trying to fix her stupid laptop--which was mine like 5 years ago, and they didn't last long back then--and I'm exhasted. Oh, how I miss the good days before I realized my dad was just insanely loose with his money and not actually rich. Hah what a brat I was then. But anywho I can finally use my own computer for a few days till I break it to her. Yay I can update this now. Really wanted to for awhile, but when I finally get to I have no clue what to say x.x.
The day's been pretty nice despite the fact I woke up feeling near death. Mom came to see the baby, who seemed too scared too even laugh until her and Nina left. I was hoping he'd pose for my sister who routinely carries a camera unlike me. I need to start doing that so I will never again pass the Lynch & Belch Bankruptcy Attornies' office and miss that golden oppertunity. Got a huge order lined up if I can manage to dazzle some people so different than myself with my clothing designs. A new retro dance club slash bar opened up downtown and they need 70's-ish uniforms, but first I have one single order for them and if they like it I'll have to make one for each waitress. It can be either awesome or dissapointing, but here's hoping. Mom & Nina came with me to the fabric store to help keep Ethan calm which seems impossible when I go to places like that. I tried to keep my selections authentic, but the denim for the bellbottoms was so expensive I had to pass and chose velvet instead. Everyone who was alive back then has told me that the pants were more often than not plain so I didn't want to go over the top with some print. I woulda had to charge them an arm and a leg just to cover the cost. It would have been fine for a single order, but since they'll need atleast 6 I want to keep their costs low, but I'll talk to them about it when I sell the 1st order. I figure it's fine since the girl who seemed to be the leader of the pack told me to use my judgement. But considering I'm the only seamstress she's ever met with a bellbottom pattern dated 1972(which calls this sytle "new"), I have hopes she'll go with me. With the top I chose to go a tad unauthentic cause I saw this very interesting fabric I totally had to buy. I didn't want to stereotype the uniform. Nina loved it too, and she's more of "their type" than I am, so I for once trusted her on a design idea. Hah, usually I just tell her to butt out. Luckily the girl's the same waist size as me, so in case ^^.
Anywho went to the carnival with Ethan last night with Cindy and her kids. He rode the carisal a couple times before getting antsy. They went ahead and left but I stuck around awhile to let Ethan take in his first fair. There were quite a few pregnant girls walking around who intially walked up to us to oggle him, but no kidding every single one was smoking and had the nerve to give my dirty looks when I quickly veared away without saying anything; they can kill their own children thank you.
