| | The test went well, I believe. I doubt I got an A outright on it, but I needed no more than a 70 to get an A for the course, so I'm not too concerned. :)
Bro. No. 2 made it home in one piece, despite lots of cold weather and rain. (Have you heard about the ice in Oklahoma? Yikes!) He DID manage to leave ALL the books I'd lent him to be locked up in a cold dormitory for four weeks! Including all six Lensman books, plus two of my favorite Alistair MacLeans. Did I, or did I not, threatened to murderize him if he did that?! In penance, he asked his roommate to bring them and he'll rendezvous in Fort Worth to pick them up.
Other than that, I'm glad he's home. Well, except for the unpleasant surprise to find that he's back unplugging my computer from the network so that he can connect, both to Internet and games with the others. *hmph* This could be an interesting vacation...
By the bye, he's recently reassured me that he DOES read this blog. *g* But, dear boy, do you realize that you can't see any of my friends-only posts? Not until you get your own site! Ha!
Now that I've been thinking about it (and staring at it hanging on my wall) I'm starting to get nervous about the blue silk dress. Yes, all the pieces are together. But I have to sew down all the facings, hem around both sash ends, and hem 188"+ of skirt. Oh, and put in the zipper and whatever hooks and eyes it takes to keep it together. That's a lot to do, my friends. And I really want to finish the petticoat I've started. It's three tiers of nylon organdy, set on a nylon crinoline yoke. I need to gather the last tier onto the yoke, put a zipper in, add the yoke facing and waistband. Not insurmountable, but not inconsiderable either.
If I had tonight to sew, it'd be okay for sure. But I'm supposed to have choir practice; but I'm also borderline with a cold as well. My voice is okay (for now), but can I sing with intermittently clogged nasal passages? Hmm... Plus, tomorrow morning I have a dentist appointment, and I need to mail five books. Yikes...
Ooh! I didn't mention that there was ice on ALL the bridges in Tarrant County (it seems like) this morning, and it took us over twice as long to get to work. Crazy! On the upside, we're having our once-yearly Free Cokes in the Vending Machines all day long. I've started out with a Nestea; I think a Diet Dr Pepper is next... |
