Sheesh, this was kind of… wow… ridiculous. Five months between postings?!? No real excuses or anything, just was playing loads and loads of Sims2, and with my hobo and slaying dragons… and spending wayyyyyy too much money on eBay! But, I bought my ‘dream’ machine, a Singer Athena 2000 sewing machine, and oodles of patterns and material; so far, I’ve made Destiny a purple poodle purse, lavender dress with matching hat, and a teddy bear, and I’ve made myself a couple of skirts and a top, and I’m working on some cat purses, a soft sculpture doll and a blue hound dog, then I’m making myself a dark navy blue pantsuit and an awesome cape – black velvet with a diamond pattern.
Haven’t really done any writing, at all – but I’ve read the latest Harry Potter book, rejoined the DoubleDay Bookclub and read 8 selections I’ve gotten from them… I created a couple of characters that I may use in my latest writing (serial killer, so they may be possible victims).
We’ve also had lots of storms that have knocked my electricity off – hard to think, let alone write, when all the UPS’s are going off here, believe me. And with said storms, comes an increase in pain, which leaves me rather bitchy and out of sorts – even now, I’m (more or less) dealing with the beginnings of a migraine and an extremely stiff neck – residuals from Katrina, I do believe. That’s about all I can handle at the moment – when my neck is this stiff, it hurts to sit, hold my head up… so, I’m off to the couch and either another “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” episode – which Remi would love, or finish my last seletion from DoubleDay, a Carol Higgins Clark “Regan Reilly” story. Maybe it’s just me, probably comparing her style (unfavorably) to her mothers, but I’m just not getting into this book.
