Mistakes
So. I've been thinking, and there have been a few things that have stuck me recently. I seem to have been making some poor choices lately, and thanks to the Internet, I can share them all with you, my dear friends (and, of course, any total stranger who can read this :).
First mistake: Trusting the Heenes. I don't regret the honest emotional reaction I had, I think it's okay to actually care about the wellbeing of someone in a dangerous situation. Because I totally cried when I was watching that balloon come down, I was so scared for that little boy. Oddly enough, I'm kind of sensitive to news about
little boys. But I just want to heave a giant sigh at the parents for thinking it would be a great idea to take the nation on an emotional roller coaster ride. I think the local sherrif had it right when he said something along the lines of "They're not rocket scientists, they're actors."
Sad mistake: not bringing Kleenex to a funeral. Listening to Grace eulogize her husband was so... sad doesn't even cover it. I hope that none of us have to endure that.
Next mistake: not making a muslin. We're hoping this goes from a 'mistake' to 'oh wow hooray it fit anyway!'. I'm hoping that it's close enough that I can either fuss it with buttons, or just corset myself a little tighter. Lol.
Related mistake: using the canvas I had on hand as the interlining. I swear to god that this stuff is like sewing on cardboard. Do you know how hard it is to iron cardboard? Very. I think I'm never going to use this stuff again. Thank god for thimbles. I think I've bent a dozen pins already. I hope I get this done in time. I have a short timeframe- four more days lol.
I'll end with something that's not a mistake, but is an awesome quote I found (yes, I'm an intellectual snob):
Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart," all I hear is, "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart."
