Oct. 30th, 2003 11:26 pmfirst of all, i just want everyone to know, that grant jr. and grant sr.'s dentists are named, respectively, dr. fang and dr. chew. i am totally not kidding.
moving on...i am a sewing fool! i am in love with my machine, i feel so incredibly lucky (blessed) to have it. i taught myself to use a pattern yesterday (which is not nearly as simple as i would have thought - "simplicity" my ass) and in the process annie has a new dress. today i made aaron's bee costume and then made him the pillowcase he picked fabric out for FOREVER ago...seriously, this machine sewing is a whole different world where all the time spent is spent pressing and pre-washing and cutting and measuring and pinning. the sewing is like nothing. amazing. i'm hoping to post pictures of all this business tomorrow. i would do it now, but they're in bed, so they can't model.
i'm feeling really passionate. about everything. like i'm bursting out of my skin...all this windy rainy weather and writing my book again, and listening to music...i need more attention. a LOT of my time is spent alone tending the kids this week. almost all of it. and grant wants to go to jacksonville with shaun for two days this weekend. ugh. i look in the mirror and feel beautiful (which is a huge change) and just think how there's nobody to see me. i discover things or think or things, and there's no one interested enough to tell it to. it's like anticipation, except nothing is going to happen, and it makes me feel like i'm going to snap.
in my special snapping way, as defined in cracked.
anyway.
