Is It Naptime Yet

…An hour and a half away from your life?

Ironing and sewing this hem.

It may have only taken a little over an hour, but it felt like longer since I was watching a debate between Dina Titus and Jon Porter and they had a commercial break like every three minutes.  I’m almost not sure who I like least right now for Congress.

Keep in mind it’s folded in half and is still longer than my 7 or 8 foot couch. (I’m not sure of the exact length.)

They also wanted me to hand sew it. That would have taken me 3 or more hours to hand sew because I’m a slow sewer with a machine and even slower with my hands that tend to cramp when hand sewing.

I am one step closer to being done. Now I just need to gather it and attach it to the dress.

I hope the ant bait works, because I don’t have time to deal with those suckers.

My friend Anna is giving away a $10 gift card to JoAnn’s.

All you have to do is hop over there and tell her: If you could be anything you wanted for Halloween, cost and costume being no object, what would it be?

She’ll close the giveaway once she gets 25 answers.

Go do it so I can win the gift card and buy a pie plate. Or if you’re Carolyn you can win the gift card and buy me a pie plate and I’ll share a pie with you, or you might even win the gift card, but I admit I really want to just win the gift card for myself. 😉

We had ants this morning. Not a lot of ants, but enough that were persistent that we needed to call the bug guy before we got a lot. So we’ve had the bug guy out twice in two months and since we’re not on the monthly plan we pay the call out amount, and we could get three monthly visits for two call out visits.

It sucks to waste money, but we usually only have them out twice a year when we get ants, because we don’t get that many other bugs. Last month the ants were outside by our front door, this month they were in the girl’s bathroom and my laundry area/ kitchen area.

Ants bite.

I really hate them and he sprayed a lot so I hope they all die.

I was also hoping to go to Utah for my friends wedding. We were discussing it and I was going to go, but we have Lilah’s ER bills, Jon has cavities that need to be filled, and we have this mornings bug man’s bill to pay.

Life bites.

I think I’m going to eat some Cherry Chocolate Bread, really cake, after lunch.

I need to sew, those were my original plans today. I have the hem and the skirt to attach to the dress and then I’m at a standstill till they get me buttons, lace, and the fabric for the apron and such. I’ve done so much work already this morning I don’t want to sew.  (I mopped floors, cleaned bathrooms and did dishes, things I planned on doing tomorrow after I finished the skirt. )

This week is going down hill. Fast.
