Rainy Weekend





What is my fascination with Bridezillas?  Well, I know for a part of it is the fact that I can't believe how evil they are.  It always makes me wonder why their fiances stay with them after seeing this side of them.  Anyway, I watched a mini marathon of them last night and it was pretty interesting.

On Saturday, I helped my younger cousin Ina with her school project.  Oh, the joys of procrastination when it comes to school work.  I would love to meet someone who did not ever procrastinate on any project.  I'm sure there's at least one out there...I am definitely not one of them.  Ina and I spent about 6 hours on this project and she wasn't done by the time I left at 10:30 that night.  She's lucky though that I have read the book and could help her with a lot of the different in depth things.  After helping her, I did feel a little sad about not teaching this year.  I love helping those little ones no matter how frustrating it is at times.  I know something will come up but I have to keep my chin up.  

These flower pictures are from my mom's garden.  Can you imagine what my mom's whole garden looks like?  She has such a green body.  Hopefully, I'll be able to show you soon the tomatoes, eggplants, beans, and peppers we are growing.  :)


Lately, I think I have been in a sewing slump.  I have been sewing, thinking up projects, and looking at gorgeous fabric.  I just can't bring myself to sew though.  I look at my machine sitting across my room and I just can't pick up my feet and clear away the area.  I think I said part of my problem there.  It's too crowded in my sewing area.  I have to move fabric from around the whole area.  I don't have a cutting area and so I use the floor.  That's just irritating.  I think I'm going to have to find a better sewing option before I got crazy.  That's my project for the week.  I have decided to put off sewing anything all week and clean up and organize my area.  Sigh, I have a feeling I'll be dropping off a lot of stuff off at thrift store come the end of the week.

A good surprise was that my brother let me borrow his dog, Casey, for a day and a night.  Don't get me wrong, I love my cat.  But how can you not like to have a dog for a day that follows you everywhere and loves you.  If you have never met a mini schnauzer, I think you might be missing out on something great.  These dogs are a great compact sweet guard like dogs.  Please excuse her appearance in the picture.  I took her to get groomed later that day but wasn't able to get another picture of her before I gave her back to my brother.
