What a day! Yesterday I didn’t do too much as I felt like I had a cold. So today it was great-balls-of-fire time. First off I had to mess with the Dress I made Bridget for her birthday..... had a melt down about it last night. You see I got it all done and went downstairs to iron it, well that was a mistake. The ironing board cover had flipped up under the dress, and as I ironed away I did not realize the elastic on the cover was melting... on the dress! I believe “Fuck me!” was what I said. Had to pick off what I could and then wash it, thank God it came out! So had to do a major ironing job this morning after I took the old pad off and put a new one on the board. Looks beautiful!

Bridget’s party is tomorrow.... not here this year, thank God for that. No major cleaning job for me, though the house looks great any way. I cleaned my room, changed the bedding, picked up, hoovered, and finally recovered my chair! I’ve had the fabric since October 1995! It look all most like a new chair; put more color in here too. My walls are dark wood. Hung a butterfly curtain over the open closet too; adding more color. When I get a job it’s sewing new yellow curtains for me. The ones in here now are white mostly and old. Want to do a sunflower quilt for the old bed, but didn’t start that today.... have to think more about it. Though the fabric looks bitchen’ on the old bed!

Let’s see then there was dishes, laundry, Maxx came over, still doing laundry, Put all my paintings in a portfolio finally, baked a apple/peach cobbler for the Mother-in-law... low sugar, so she doesn’t dive in to the birthday cake at the party. Well that meant more dishes to do. I’m really tired now, throat still hurts a little. So I thought I’d write and watch the ball game....6 to 1 in the top of the 8th... Tampa Bay. Okay so maybe the ball game wasn’t a good idea.

Thanks to all who had such nice things to say about my drawing in the last 2 entries, think I’ll keep going with it. Did them on the paint program on this old Mac. Have to go down and see what I can do on the G5. Still looking for a job, not stressing so much about it now. It will happen when it should. I’ll stress later about it, too tired now to do so. Ah. . .
it will be nice to get into bed tonight with the nice clean sheets and blankets!

Please go and give HER a big hug!
