stitch-it
first of all, i just want to note that i am feeling attractive today. this doesn't happen a lot, especially since i've got pilgrim-hair, so i want to document it. i am wearing my hair down and it's almost past my shoulders now. it is light brown with dark brown roots (pilgrims don't have roots, do they?) and my bangs are actually flat and not pouffed out. i am wearing a turquoise scoop-neck clingy (meow) t-shirt with a long brown skirt with a fancy belt tied around. i am also wearing beige wedge sandals from Payless and my toenails are painted pink from the polish that heathertea gave me for Christmas. i am also feeling thin, which is an event in its own right. maybe it's because of snoopturtle's dream?
after a dinner of tacos with cheddar cheese flavoured wraps (which aligns with my life's mantra: "the more cheese, the better"), i decided to get off my arse and craft some shiz up! for the first time in my entire life, i set up the ironing board and iron. i needed TSM's expertise because i never, ever iron. i am genetically predisposed not to, because my mom never, ever irons either so i was never taught how to do it. after a bit of instruction, i ironed a white linen tea towel and then ironed two patterns onto it: one of a strand of flowers and the other of a teapot and tea cup. i only embroidered the strand of flowers before being distracted by Dog: The Bounty Hunter and Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List (LOVE Kathy Griffin. I want to be one of her gays), but i was still impressed with my initiative to forgo vapid magazine reading in favour of something constructive. the embroidery itself isn't all that good, but it's my first go at it, so what the hell, right? i am thinking that i will make this tea towel for my mom as part of her birthday gift (for july 9th) and if i'm successful, i will embroider the other tea towel for TSM's mom's birthday (for july 7th) and then i will receive many accolades for my amazing skills. moms are the best to give this sort of thing to because even if it's absolute crap, they will still praise you. you can't buy that kind of love! well maybe you can, but i can't afford it.
television on tuesday nights is so good (especially when Big Brother premieres) but i didn't have the appropriate snacks. TSM was jonesing for some chocolate or cookies, but we didn't have any. but, unbeknownst to him, i have a secret stash of chocolate in my night table. right now i have Lindor lemon tart chocolate. i was SO CLOSE to telling him about it, but i didn't, and am therefore an awful life partner. but i like to have my personal, secret little stash. it's nice to have something special just for me, and if i told him about it he would have scarfed it all down. plus he has his own stash of things (although it is DEFINITELY not chocolate but is of the more GREEN and WEEDY variety of things to be consumed), so i figured it wasn't so bad.
on my lunch i am going to buy a scone! maybe wednesdays should be Scone Wednesdays?
tonight is all about:
- spaghetti
- embroidery!
- feeling thin (to be accomplished BEFORE the spaghetti)
- buying Father's Day cards
- brainstorming Father's Day gift ideas
- calling mom up to ask what to get for Father's Day
- asking mom if she can buy it and i will pay her back
- being an awful daughter
- turning on the tv and forgetting all of the above
