mandie_rwI sewed a few quilt squares yesterday and today (ooh, exciting), and last night dug a dress out of the I Am Pissed Off At You Heap, taking it apart and fixing it all up. I felt all productive and smug. It was great. Spent about five hours on that last night - then I tried it on, and it still freaking sucked. Man, I was especially pissed because I literally sewed that zipper in three times. (And I really, really hate zippers. Really.) Simplicity patterns are The Devil, I have decided. Think I'll take the zipper out, see if I can get a skirt out of it (from a pattern I know doesn't suck, thanksverymuch), and get the hell rid of it. (Hate doing that, and I don't do it often, but whenever I look at it now, I want to light it on fire, which is not healthy for anyone, 'specially as the fabric's not a natural fiber, and the fumes would probably kill me first, thus giving the dress the last laugh.)
Then this morning and half the afternoon was spent bridesmaids' dress shopping. I cannot express how glad I am that A is letting us all have different dresses and colors, so I can make my own, because $200 on a dress I'd never wear again? *boggle*
I'm really looking forward to Wednesday, as I'm going to NYC and meetingdrama_wench at the Met, and we can geek out over costumes and stuff. It'll be good times, especially if I get lost on the subway again. Actually that wasn't my fault. Most of my TCNJ Group have no sense of direction whatsoever, and don't like to read maps. "Guys, Queens is not in the same direction as Penn Station, I think we're going...the wrong...way...okay, fine, don't listen." *get off train and finally find map of MTA* "Told you so...". At least I did finish the skirt I wanted to wear to NY...
Also: DEAR FAMILY MEMBERS
WHEN YOU TURN THE WIRELESS ROUTER OFF, MY LAPTOP DOES NOT GET INTERNET MAGICALLY FROM SOME OTHER SOURCE. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU THIS. WE HAVE HAD THIS THING FOR SIX MONTHS. IT SHOULD BE STARTING TO SINK IN. REALLY. *crankily heaves self up and goes down stairs to turn router back on so this can be posted*
NO LOVE FROM,
YOUR EXASPERATED DAUGHTER.
