I really do love just hanging out with my friends for hours even if it leaves me totally exhausted at the end of the day (and it makes it easier to fall asleep!). And, despite all the hanging out I did not much happened today. I'd actually forgotten that Chynna was coming by but I showed her the first episode of Doctor Who (a few people after NN ( Read more... )

blame the American Health Care system. Ted's knee has been giving him a lot of pain/trouble lately (a lot even considering it took a lot of damage back in high school and college) so my mom was taking him to the doctors and we all knew he was going to need an MRI, the question now if/what kind of surgery he needs now. But, since this is the US and ( Read more... )

Another quiet day, but I did (with a few exceptions) get everything put away and planted the tomato/squash/peppers my dad gave us. Have been watching a bit more anime, like I tried The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzimaya on CR (broadcast order since that's the order they have it in) and I'm liking it alright. Of course, I've already been spoiled about ( Read more... )

Had quite a bit of time on the computer today, maybe it's the universes way of making up for how badly my sewing machine was behaving earlier? Seriously, bobbins should never be inserted from the side, inserting them from the top makes it soooo much easier to tell what's gone wrong, sewing my jacket today probably took twice as much time as it ( Read more... )

Every time I get sick I ponder which is worst, the sore throat or not being able to breath. Usually the answer changes depending on which stage I'm in, but usually sore throat wins. Seriously, I've had so many liquids today to soothe my throat (five cups of carnberry juice, two cups of hot cholocate I think, one of which boiled over and burned me ( Read more... )

I think I've been on too long and now want to see waaayyy too many animes. Although that might not be a bad thing... anyway, today has been calm. Went to the library, cleaned the bathroom, caught a gas leak (a gasket holding a filter broke and the repair was free), laughed over Top Gear (it was the episode where they made aqua-cars and then had to ( Read more... )

And I'm not the only thing that is dyeing, I finished dyeing my sheets today! Holy crap it's hot outside, I got a big sheet to go from sopping, dripping all over the deck and through all the newspaper wet, to perfectly dry in only 40 minutes. True it is pure cotton, but seriously, we need to hang up a clothes line in our backyard! It's so hot that ( Read more... )

Grumble, I hate collars. They aren't hard to sew (heck, almost nothing is actually hard to sew, making sure you don't get your finger sewn is another thing entiretly) but it is hard to take an ugly collar and then draw out the new collar, cut off excess fabric, pin, and then re-pin so that all of the raw edges are folded under (found out about ( Read more... )

I had no school today which was even more awesome because then I didn't have to be distracted in class all day waiting for the third season of Avatar: the last airbender! ( We're bringing Avatar back! )

Behind again, oh well! I'm going to give Friday it's own entry and squash together Saturday and Sunday, so it's going to be a little while before I get back on track.
