Well? What are you going to do?
Mainly try to earn a living so that I may afford to go to TRF and escape the stresses that are generated by trying to earn a living. It seems I am in a vicious circle.
Work on garb, pack the hubby's stuff for his trip to Florida, clean the house.
Drag myself through the work day, go to the gym, cook yummy curry chicken for dinner. Nothing too exciting today. :P
... sleep.
Pickup school supplies, buy school shoes, find jeans to "cool" (also for school), try to remember what it was like to be a person, instead of just a mom...
Figure out what I really want from life and love, and whether the path I am on now will take me there...
Well, I just dropped my truck off at my mechanics shop to have the new side mirror replaced that some lady at the State Fair broke off (nice). Now, I'm going to cut the front yard before it rains, knock out a couple honey-dos and hopefully have time this evening to kick back and pound a few ales!
Spent the morning wrestling with the laundry monster and beating back the bill demons. Exciting life I have here. :)
I'm off to have a late lunch on the Key, (see it does get better), a little shopping, then (boo) off to work.
Hear ya with the honey-do's, Sir William. That's what I'm up to today too.....that and checkin in early on the online courses I'm taking this fall that start NEXT Monday....
Oh yeah....and get ready for my 29 year old to visit this weekend to cool off some of her "pre-wedding frustrations"
My dear Anna....which "Key" are you lunching on? Siesta or St. Armands?
I like this thread... Donno why. :)
Today is mostly over but... I HAD back to back meetings from 8:30 to 3:30. Bleah.
All I have left for today to actually eat and take my turn with that laundry monster.
Tomorrow will be better!
Well, the day's already pretty much over, but... hm..
Tomorrow I'll be going to Canada's Wonderland with my sister, my dad, his fiance and one of her sons. Hopefully it won't be too blistering hot like it has been for the last couple days.
Today I set out to do my own honey do list and got alot accomplished yay!
Get to work early to try and get some headway on a large order of labels, Get in some hours of study for my Chemistry final tomorrow night, See if I can get the tires on my personal vehicle aired up at the shop at work. Just don't have time to hunt down a functioning air pump at gas stations. Stretch my 18 hour day a bit farther...
Head out to herd the cat (aka my ADD entrepreneurial boss). While there, I need to get the rental houses rented, get the maintenance done on the rented houses, get the hotels booked (will be doing a personal booking too if I get the chance), and whatever new thing he tosses in to the mix. Tonight is date night, we're meeting friends for supper at Ruby Tuesday. One topic for discussion: the newest furbaby, who will it be, when will it come home.
More honey-do's, throw in some yardwork, and prepping for my online classes that start next week. (To say nothing of getting ready to start teaching again next week)....
Try to hook up my new in 1 Brother printer, scan the web sites for computer contract work, since I am now a statistic, relax as much as I can, prepare for a weeks vacation Labor Day week.
...take my daughter to the first day of third grade!!!
Clear off the "kitchen" (no kitchen)/crafts/sewing table & cut tulle for my bustle. If I'm really ambitious I may even gather it.
hopefully build a little fence in the backyard to keep the dog out of the lilac bushes and the muddy patch underneath them. After work, of course. One of these days I need to get to a little last minute sewing too!! Maybe tomorrow...
stop pondering where i stand with him and plane out ask
Try on a kilt for the first time...Pleats go in the front right?
Correct Dreg! Pleats in the front and that fanny pack thing goes on the side, and you want to make sure to pull your kilt up so its just below your chest. You'll be styling!
(http://i30.tinypic.com/335b61k.jpg)
Oh ya, I'm going to try and wake up in a couple of hours for starters. Then try and capture on film the 140 paratroopers from the 101st Airborne that will be jumping out of the half dozen C-130's at the airport next to us.
I hope
(http://i40.tinypic.com/ixe3xe.jpg) Good morning all!
Today, simply sew the end of the ribbon channels of the bustle and then - it's almost done. A trip to 2nd hand shops to find a cool belt for the front & another to the shoemaker to sew it to the back waistband will wait till later this week . Today I'm going to hit the hay early. Seriously, I was still wide awake at 5 a.m.
Yeah... 4am for me, and what's up with that?!? I'm gonna sleep some more!!! Right after the school run...
I believe that reading more forum and less email would be an excellent choice for my day.
Unfortunately it's going to be the other way around. >:(
Dr visit (check); visit favorite schools from last year to make sure I'm on their "prefered sub" lists (check); advance reading/studying for online courses that start next week; track shipping process on new MBPro :D ; more yardwork.....
If it stops raining, put air in my tires. Get groceries. Possibly work out (although I think taking the dog for a run is out...). Cook. Possibly make a new shirt for Fest.
I'm hitting up the library today. Finished off my current selections and need more to stave off boredom at work.
Oh, golly...I've only got about 45 minutes of "today" left...
Finish loading the dishwasher, wash my face, brush my teeth, and go to bed!
What's up for today...well, sleeping first, waking up at a decent hour, getting the dog taken care of, taking the desktop over to a friend, working on sewing three shirts, elastic-ing three pairs of pants, cutting out and sewing three vests, helping set up for a 1st b-day party, and hopefully getting some paperwork completed!
play golf in about an hour!
After that, follow up with the contract agency to finish up some documentation and references.
Then I will spend the rest of the day memorializing my Mom (in a good way - she'd have it no other way).
Finally have work at work to do and need to sneaky study for my last final of this term.
I have my "annual exam" at the doctor's this morning. yay.
Then shopping including a local thrift shop, TJ Maxx, and Marshalls for Steampunk approriate belts; Joann'a to get fabric for a bustled overskirt; then groceries.
After shopping (if I have any energy left) I want to sew a bustle.
Mow the lawn (golf sounds like a lot more fun, Molden), finish up other yardwork so I have the weekend free for daughter from Ohio, haunt my front porch waiting for my shiny new MacBook Pro to arrive......
Hook up my NEW 55" LED television and Blue Ray dvd player, and try to forget how broke I' am now after these fine purchases ;)
Get my dress clothes (mundane world) ready for my 1st day back to work, then catch a nap with me scurvy cat, Bob, then go with Lady Mikayla to our friends place for game night!

Clean, unpack, try and get stuff hung up on the wall, take a shower, run over to the Good Will, go to a friends to hang out, and then off to be BBQ'fied at work (No, not as in me being BBQ'ed. I work at BBQ joint. ;) )

Reformat the hard drive on the computer that needs to be sent back to Dell
Boo-koo honey-do's! As a matter of fact I better get started right after this cup of coffee (http://i43.tinypic.com/2v027va.jpg)
Go play with the two potentials for the new furbaby at our house. Hopefully one of them will not set off my allergies, will be healthy, etc etc etc

Swim upstream backwards and avoid the canoe's...
Well, as soon as I get off work I'm going to head up to go see about finding a saddle I like that might hopefully fit my new horse. (See my pony thread in the Member Milestones section).
I also need to do laundry.
And maybe while I'm at it, I'll figure out what garb I want to wear for opening day at MDRF (OMG Saturday!).
Soon, I need to go get coffee. Then I will do some work. After work, it's grocery shopping, and over to Kieran's tonight for 4 Pints Shy's CD release party.

Blow my nose... a lot. And sneeze... and b!tch, moan and whine about having allergies... :'(
Maybe I'll even throw a pity party... :P
Beads found & started on trim, but the black thread on sparkly beads on black lace on black fabric is blinding me so I'm throwing in that towel for the rest of the day. The Letters of Marque have been printed & envelopes addressed - I will work on their embellishments & the Phins this evening.

Take a look at all these new crafting books from the library, puzzle out a few new designs, then get started producing them!
So far I've finished the lining of my Victorian jacket (had to jerry rig velvet lapels - fingers crossed, please!) and sewed the sleeves. I need to hand stitch the wrists since they won't fit in my machine, flat line the sleeve & lining, & do the gather stitching. Then I'll put it aside for tomorrow.
I took myself out for menudo this morning - the breakfast of champions! Once I put aside my sewing I need to pick up scraps & do some general cleaning.

Funny, I seem to recall you mentioning something about joining me in flirting, but what I
don't seem to recall is any flirting coming from your direction at all... :P heheh

I know... that's not far from my brother's place, though, and we were all really worried when the rest of the family was on the roads last night! I would have been out there also if the drifts hadn't hit our parking lot so hard... blessing in disguise, I think!!!
I'm going to go shopping while everyone else is watching the SUPER BOWL, its so much nicer to shop in empty stores ;D
finish the bodice for my snow white dress...I swear I WILL! hopefully...
Move more snow (http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i231/LittleCasino/Smileys/snow.gif)
enjoy the sunshine.
probably still be sick...for day number 4 in a row.
Work,... worry about bills,... kiss my wife,... pet my dog,... try not to worry about bills,...
Study...
continue cleaning/organizing my apartment, ring my crystal singing bowl, play on my didjerido, wish my sister a happy birthday, hopefully retrieve me skiff from the shop, and snuggle with my Sweetie...in general, enjoy the day. 8)
Yep..move more snow (http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i231/LittleCasino/Smileys/snow.gif)
Freeze my arse off until they get my heat fixed!!!
Enjoy the sunshine and go for a nice long walk!
Stand in the rain and snow, if it snows, at the saltminez. It will be fun. ;D
shovel snow for the 100th time!
I guess install a mailbox seeing how a county snow plow took mine out..WTF!
Wish that life was not quite so heartbreaking... and that I could give the people I care about the lives they deserve.
work on my garb closet
After class I'm going to:
-go to hobby lobby to get the rest of the supplies for my Snow White gown and my favors
-finish partlet
-begin sewing on pearls
-start working on the special assignments for my entry portfolio
-make cape for Snow White gown

Forget about work, forget about taxes, do some physical training until I drop and its morning again.
Start a snowball fight
laugh often
try not to go insane (such a difficult task, since I am insane already) ;D
Try to find this adorable little lost puppy's family... before we get too attached to him!!!
I'm going on a scrapbook treasure hunt!
Sit out the Tsunami!

Lets see...I've been taking care of a sick daddy, researching ideas for my steampunk witch garb, and what I wanna wear to see Alice in Wonderland.
Today I'm going to enjoy a day at the Audobon Zoo with my hubby and family.
Tonight, I will be going to this month's meeting of the Fort Worth Poetry Society (the oldest literary organization in Texas), read me latest poem at their open mike, and talk with the president of the organization about doing some a reading or two at their Centennial celebration on April 17th.
... go back to bed, and hope this day gets better while I'm sleeping, because this morning just really sucked.

Sorry, I am, to hear that your morning hung slack and I wish ye a good time in bed. Uh, I mean a good passage between the sheets. Uh, wait, . . . I mean, oh, by all the sea gods! I wish ye a good rest!
BIG hug!
Blackbead
...smile. Finally.
How's that for a life change?
Still...I'll ever remain "the Ugly". ;D
... finally crawl up out of my blue funk, and laugh out loud at Blackbead (whom I wish fervently I had read earlier today) while being extremely happy for Eric... (I really am, you know) :)
Once I wake up today I'm gonna go to the MRF's Beast of the East hosted by ABATE of SC! Gonna help setup, and do pre-registration. Then work, then bed, then Saturday is more Beast of the East!! We've got nearly 200 bikers from all over the USA coming for this awesome seminar! YAY!!

Attempt to survive this day. I can't believe they assigned me to this contract, knowing that I have no access. So now I get to add to this 3 ringed Bohemian cluster @#$%^
watch like 3 movies trying to find inspiration for this stupid fortune cookie assignment...I have to make an illustrator project using the fortune from the fortune cookies she gave us in class...mine says "A movie would be a great way to relax this weekend" not much of a fortune...more like a suggestion...so ima watch a bunch of movies and take down quotes that occur at my "lucky number" times...maybe I'll find something..
then I will be ending my day with D&D! yay!
plan his death. He will hurt severely for this...

Conduct a controlled burn, cut my grass and till the garden. Then whatever else I can conjure up. :P ;)

Load up me skiff, Pepe' an' Go West Young Man! Hello Texas! ;D
*Savin' me Tigger bounces as I'll need th' blasted energy fer th' drive!*
Try to keep from bouncing around the room in anticipation!!! Oh... and wash, sort and pack garb!!! Aaaaand maybe go a little nuts looking for everything I'll need, or even might need, next weekend... :D
drag myself away from the computer, go pick up some supplies and work on some projects for my baby's room, then bring the foster kitten back to my parents' house so they can take care of him 'cause my kitties aren't happy about him being here, of course
do laundry and some housework........ :P
... try to keep the top of my head from blowing off before I can figure out how to release some of this bottled up anger in a non-destructive manner... and be thankful that I actually cannot make things catch fire just by thinking about them!
