"Family means too much, friends are too valuable, and life is too short to put off sharing with people how much they really mean to you and pursuing whatever it is that makes you happy."

Dear darling blog, I wrote you a lot this afternoon, but I don't believe I will be posting it at the moment. It's not the tone I want to set for myself right now.

So today I got up around 9, got out of bed around 11, and made my way to my sewing room. And I sewed like a crazy person. I sewed so much that all that's left really is hemming and adjusting things. HUZZAH! Then I worked on some Operation Prom Dress stuff, then some UH300 stuff, then one of my models came for a fitting, then I went to Hancock. Once I got in my car at Hancock some lady appeared next to my window saying, "I'm not going to hurt you." and asking for a ride to CVS. CVS is right down the road...and I'm definitely not letting you in my car. She just kept saying she wasn't going to hurt me, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT SOMEONE WHO WANTS TO HURT ME WOULD SAY.

So anyway. I got out of there and went to Target. Got a new steamer which had better work or I'm going to blow it up. Got some brownie mix to make some lovely snacks for my little freshmen. I like most of them. Some of them...well, you know. Win some lose some.

So then Corrinne and Erin came over for their fittings. We ate dinner then had a blast trying everything on. I decided what they are wearing for the show so huzzah for that. After that I wanted to sew more but it just wasn't going to happen. Actually, that's not true. I sewed some stuff for UH300. And worked on a top. But then it was time to stop. So Heather came over. We watched Leverage and ate the delicious homemade cheesecake I made, then we spent way too much time on random youtube videos and A Very Potter Musical. yup. Cause I've never seen it. Apparently that is shocking. Oops. I told her she has to come back tomorrow night so we can finish it.

Tomorrow my goal is to hem as much as I can, finish my UH300 presentation stuff, and get some OPD stuff worked out.

Which reminds me!

I am the Tuscaloosa coordinator for Operation Prom Dress, a local nonprofit that provides prom dresses to girls who cannot afford their own. I am looking for donations of dresses, shoes, jewelry, and unused makeup. If you have any to donate, please get in touch with me. I am also looking for groups/businesses to run dress drives throughout the month of February to generate more donations. And lastly we will need a dry cleaner to donate their services to get all of the dresses cleaned. If you are interested in helping, PLEASE let me know!

I sliced myself with my rotary cutter and I didn't realize it until right now. OW OW OW OW. Okay. Sorry.

Hi bloggy dear. How are you? Yes, I should be asleep, I know. But I thought you might want to hear about my day first. After all, I promised I'd try to update daily.

Alright. So last night I went to sleep around 2 or so. I think. I don't know, somewhere around there. So this morning I woke up at 9ish and I was like meh, maybe I'll get up. Then I didn't. So I think I rolled out around 11. Decided to get right to it and start sewing. So I did. I made some good progress. Did a lining, did a TON of skirt panels. Then I realized I needed a square punch. So I called Erin and she said she would go to Michael's with me. While waiting for her to come over I realized I still had some cottage cheese and yogurt left that were about to go bad. So naturally, I made a cheesecake while I waited for her to show up. I mean really, what else should I do in my spare time?

It actually turned out fairly well. It could definitely use some more sugar, but not bad for winging it! So we went to Michael's. I didn't really find what I was looking for, but I had a revelation about one of my pieces, so huzzah for that. After that we ran to Target because we both needed some stuff. And I got coffee. Yummm. Then I came back and continued to sew. Heather stopped by to lend me some sanity, then it was back to it. I've made a lot of progress in the last....8 hours? Has it really been that long? Yowza. Anyway. Made lots of progress. A zipper is stopping me though, so I decided it was time to call it a night.

Tomorrow I'll get up at a decent hour and continue my quest for world domination. Or sewing domination. Same thing. Then tomorrow night all my models are coming over for fittings. I SHOULD clean up before they come, but I'm not sure I have the willpower to do so. So I think I will just tidy the living room and corral them all in there. One of these days I'll find a way to actually keep my life organized. Today is just not that day.

I have A LOT to do in the next few weeks. I might be freaking out a little. I just need to keep calm and get it all done. 

"Free is not your right to choose, it's answering what's asked of you; to give the love you find until it's gone."

I meant to be productive today, I really did. It just didn't really happen. I woke up around 8:30, refused to leave the bed until noon. I made a delicious berry smoothie, then I answered emails, then I left for the thrift store. Found 542543 of the same belt that I think will work perfectly for my collection so I bought them all. Naturally. From there I headed over to Dirt Cheap because I was curious about it. That place is absolutely disgusting, but kind of totally awesome. Got some neat Urban Outfitters stuff for like $1.99, some really nice Pyrex storage bowls for like $6 and a few other things. Yay! From there I came home and got to sewing. Got a little bit done. Then I met Kevin and Harin at Alcove at like 815. I had never been there before. I really like it. Got a banana bread beer that I thought would be terrible but was actually pretty good and a pear cider that I thought would be pretty good but was actually terrible. Oh well. It was really a lot of fun. Nooow I need to go to sleep so I can get up at a decent hour and sew all day tomorrrow. WOO. There really isn't a TON left to do. It just feels like there is.

NIGHT NIGHT BLOGGY BLOG. I have some other things to tell you but I just don't want the rest of the world to know everything ever. Sorry.

“All the truth in the world adds up to one big lie.”

Alright, blog. I don't have class tomorrow and I'm actually fairly awake, so let's tell you what has happened in the past week.

Last Friday Abby came to visit! She is in Belgium this semester, which makes me so sad, but I'm so excited for her. We had a going away party for it. It was A LOT of fun. Clay made dinner, I made a cake that failed a little (a lot) and we all had a grand time. Saturday she left and I read applications for most of the day. Yup. Went to Annie's to commiserate over the applicants.

Sunday I had planned to sew all day but I still hadn't finished applications, so I worked on that for a long while. Got a call to record a spot for NBC13 for BFW. OKAY. So I ended up staying up all night to make sure my dress was just right. Seriously. I got one hour of sleep from 5 am to 6 am. What an adventure. Luckily James Spann was up all night too with the weather, so I had something to keep me company. Monday morning Corrinne met me at home and we headed out for Birmingham. SO EARLY. So we got there an hour early, got some tea, then got her dressed and went in search of where we were supposed to be. Had no idea. Luckily I found Brad and we eventually found who we were looking for. Phew! Recorded the thing, went to Joann Fabrics for some thread then headed back to Tuscaloosa. Passed out for two hours. GLORIOUS SLEEP! Just not enough. I felt worse after the 2 hours. Oops.

So then I met Lindsay and we worked on some Fashion, Inc. stuff for Get On Board Day. Then I had Entrepreneurship class from 5 to 7:30. Dr. Parker and her adjunct faculty are absolutely amazing, but I decided the in-class section definitely wasn't for me. So I talked to her about it and we agreed I could get into the online one. Went home, fiiiinally finished the apps, and got 4 hours of sleep. Oy.

Tuesday I had Marketing, which I think is getting better. Then I went to the Ferg to work the Fashion, Inc. table for Get On Board Day. We actually had a lot of people show interest, so that was good. After that I had Tonya's class, which I really like. Aaaand from there I went to the Fashion, Inc. meeting. We had a pretty decent turnout. Outlined all of our plans for the semester. Should be good. THEN I came home and paaaaaassed out. Slept for 13 hours STRAIGHT. Didn't wake up a single time. It was absolutely amazing.

Wednesday I had to go to work to make up for missing Tuesday. Got some stuff done. Then...what did I do? OH. I needed to sew, but I also discovered that my cottage cheese was about to expire, so I looked up recipes to use it up. Found some lasagna and bread that looked good, so I went for those. Tried to prepare them at the same time, turned into absolute madness, but they both turned out AMAZING. Like, really really really good. I was SO proud! Then I sewed for an hour or so, then it was bedtime. Well, no. I answered emails and whatnot, then it was bedtime.

Today I had Marketing, then I worked all day. Got a lot done. Brought lasagna for lunch. It was amaaaaazing. haha. Found out during work that my HES registrar handled my add/drop request magically. She is absolutely amazing! And talked to Dr. Parker about it, who is one of the most wonderful people I have ever met in my life. Seriously. She is a contact I would like to keep for life.

So after work I came home, lounged a bit, then Julia came over. We chatted, then we picked Heather up and went to Moe's and tcby. chatted for a while, Clay joined us, then Ben, then we headed to sushi. It was madness. Too many people, not enough fun. I think I might have to remove midnight sushi from my life for a while...it's just not special and happy like it used to be. Oh well. Sometimes we just have to move on.

So yeah. There's life for the past week. I'm spending the next four days in hermit mode sewing to get everything done that I possibly can. I'm super excited for the show, but it will also feel amazing once it's done.

There are a few more things I would like to discuss with you, dearest blog, but I've run out of eloquent ways to express them. Maybe another night. Farewell!

“One should never criticize his own work except in a fresh and hopeful mood. The self-criticism of a tired mind is suicide.”

Dearest blog,

I know I need to update you. There's a lot going on in my life, and you deserve to hear about it. But I'm SO tired. And I know all I will do tonight is ramble. And you deserve better from me. So I promise, dear blog, I will try to return with witty things to say tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Theresa

“The time we enjoy wasting is usually a good indicator of our real values… The best things in life feel like we feel when we waste our time!”

Waking up this morning was VERY difficult. I took Nyquil last night, so I was OUT. I got up, grumbled a bit, wrote incoherently in my journal, decided laying in bed for 15 more minutes was a good idea, decided 10 after that was an even better idea, then realized if I didn't get up right then I was never getting out of that bed ever again. So I grumbled, showered, and got ready with plenty of time to spare. Oh well. I made my yummy shake with blackberries, raspberries, nonfat raspberry yogurt, and kale. Mmmmm kale. So vitaminy and proteiny. So while I sipped on that I made my yummy veggie sandwich. Hummus, feta, lettuce, spinach, tomato, carrots, sprouts all on Ezekiel bread, which is a pro at handling hummus and tomato juice without getting soggy. Packed up my lunch, checked the weather and headed out the door.

Marketing is a little frustrating because I feel like I'm getting maybe 4 or 5 relevant notes out of each class. I guess we shall see if it improves. I hope so. After that I went to work til 5. Read lots and lots of applications, worked on some other stuff, and headed out at 4:45. Fought the lovely traffic and met Bre at Starbucks. Neither of us wanted coffee (I had had two cups already...too much caffeine is baaaad) so I grabbed a water and we sat and caught up for an hour or so. It was wonderful. I'm SO glad I had someone stalk her at the modeling call and make her model for the senior show. Hehe. From there I met Julia at the nail salon while she was finishing up, then we went to Kobe. Erin met us there and we proceeded to have a yummy dinner and sit there for 2 1/2 hours talking about anything and everything. It was lovely. I still laugh that that horrid weekend in Auburn led to Julia and I reconnecting and becoming OMGBFFLZZZ. Yup. So now I'm home. Hopefully going to sleep at a decent hour, then getting up to sew, meet Stephanie for lunch thennnn Abby is coming!!!! SO excited. Making a super special awesome cake for her. It will be wonderful. And THEN I will spend the weekend reading applications and sewing. Such a glamorous life I lead. ;P

"He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

So when I said it was bedtime at 1 last night, obviously I meant 3. Oops.

Woke up this morning around 9 and refused to get out of bed. I had a million things running through my mind, and they were freaking me out, so I figured it was the perfect time to do my morning writing stuff for Tonya's class. Filled my 3 pages easily. I think it helped, honestly. I got all that crap out there, and out of my brain. I was spazzing about BFW and friends and life. Putting it someplace outside of yourself is a good start in letting go of some of it.

Soo then I met Erin at Mugshots for lunch because she has been craving fried pickles for like a week now. Haha. Got a yummy amazing salad. From there I came home to print some coupons then ran up to Hancock to get a mini quilting iron, which works like magic and presses chiffon beautifully. While there, I also picked up a can of fabric stabilizer just for the heck of it. I figured I had to explore all of my options. From there we moved on to Academy because Heather had mentioned that they sell strips of leather for restringing baseball gloves. She was right, and it is perfect!! I couldn't find it before because it's called rawhide, and I was looking for leather. Ugh, technicalities. So then I was like hm, I don't really want to go sew yet, and I kind of need some clamps. So I ran over to Home Depot and got some clamps to hold down fabric and grip stuff while I braid it. They're pretty and tiny and neon green. And REALLY strong. I accidentally clamped my finger and I thought it was going to fall off.

So anyway. I came home, tried my iron, it worked great. sweet. tried a few other ways of sewing the chiffon, still no success, so I figure what the heck and I try the stabilizer.

IT'S LIKE MAGIC. it stiffens the fabric so it won't pucker and it doesn't leave any residue. OH SWEET WONDERFUL NEWS. So I took all my pieces outside and sprayed them down and let them dry. I'm sure my neighbors thought I was crazy.

Then I brought them back in and sewed like a mad woman. I got all of the skirt panels done. YES YES YES. It was the best feeling ever. Tomorrow/Friday I'll work on the pants. OH CHIFFON, WE CAN BE FRIENDS AGAIN! It's such wonderful news.

So anway. After that Heather picked me up and we went to the Well. I'm trying really hard to go every week. The Well is a really powerful place for me. I still haven't found a church I'm totally comfortable at on Sundays, so for now The Well is my weekly plug in.

I told you last week, I gave Heather the fair warning that I may lose it since I have no control over my emotions. I gave her that same warning this week, but I felt pretty good about not losing it.

BOY WAS I WRONG.

The last song of the night was You Hold Me Now by Hillsong. It's this little diddy:

It's an amazing song. It really really is. And music has a way of intensifying my emotions anyway. SO we get a few lines in and that was all she wrote. I turned into a blubbering mess, crying and singing along. Thank goodness it's dark and loud during worship.

But anyway. Back on track. Tonight's message really really spoke to me. It was about the parable of the sower. And I feel like I'm really letting the stresses of life get in my way. I'm too consumed by everything of this world and I'm not focusing on getting my relationship right with God.

I think we've had the religion discussion here before, but I am a Christian. I believe in God, and I believe Jesus died for us. I didn't grow up in a religious house, and I didn't really go to church. I certainly didn't go to vacation bible school, Sunday school, or any of that. I started going on my own in high school, and my biggest problem is I feel lost.

I want to read the Bible, but I don't know where to begin. You can't just start at the beginning and be like BOOM I GET IT. I want someone to go through it with me and help me understand the basis of my beliefs. I want to know the stories and the parable and the gospel. It's really important to me, and I need to commit myself to doing that.

But really, where do you begin when you don't have that Sunday school background? I've done bible studies before. And they are fine, and it's a nice way to relate the different passages of the bible, but I've found most studies expect you to have a background. They don't expect a 21 year old who goes to church and claims the faith to essentially know nothing.

I'm almost embarrassed of my limited knowledge, but it's just time to admit it. I want help. I want to know where to start. And I want to make myself put God first in my life. I can't use the stresses of life as an excuse for my distance.

So there's that. I need to find a church on Sundays and I need to find a way to jump into the Bible without getting overwhelmed.

Let's see...tomorrow I have MKT300 then work til 5. oy. then I will continue to sew my little heart out.

“The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love and to be greater than our suffering.”

I know, I know. I should be asleep. Insomnia is a jerk, isn't she?

Today I had to go to TWO classes AND work. Phew. It was a rough day.

Just kidding.

But actually, it was. I'm getting sick. BLEH. I know it's cause I've worn myself down. It's frustrating when you can feel yourself getting sick and there's absolutely nothing you can do. Oy.

Marketing should be..interesting. She seems super nice and excited, but she jumps back and forth between lecture and five hundred million video clips. Which is cool, and some of them are relevant, but it's just way too many. We shall see how that class goes.

Work was good. We all went to lunch. First, we had an adventure of fitting four people into a truck meant to seat three. Oops. But we made it. Theeen I went to Tonya's class UH300 the art of giving back. Basically, we are planning an art show and also creating the things to be sold. I'm really excited about it. I talked to her about getting Fashion, Inc. involved as well.

I'm the only one in the class with an "art" background. HA. "art" background. I sew. I can't draw, can't do much else. I make clothes. But anyway. We had to go around and introduce ourselves and our art experience, and I went first. Oops. I think I intimidated people. BUT I think it's going to be a fun class.

We also have to keep a daily journal of thoughts and whatnot. I think that might help me deal with some of my life nonsense. I hope.

So after class I talked to Tonya for a bit. I really like her. I hope I can help make the show big.

After that I took Lindsay home, came home and ate my veggie sandwich (lettuce, spinach, carrots, sprouts, hummus on Ezekiel bread. OMG DELICIOUS!) Then I headed out in the monsoon for the Fashion, Inc. officer meeting. Everyone showed up. Yay! We talked about all the plans I have for us (of course it's a lot) and I'm excited. It's going to be time consuming, but well worth it I hope.

Once I got home, I just...did nothing. I'm being miss mopeypants tonight. Life is kicking my butt. So I watched tv, listened to whiney music and blew my nose 403843048 million times while cursing my immune system. I should have been sewing, or sleeping, or something, but I just couldn't will myself to do anything.

Ah, such is life. I have to get out of this funk soon. My stupid emotions are out of control. I need them to shut up and sit down and let me be happy.

SO anyway. This isn't supposed to be sad sally blog. Let's see.

Oh, we're still working on the weight loss goals. Always always. BUT. We have a delicious amazing fruit & veggie shake for breakfast made with my wonderful magical Vitamix, then we have an awesome veggie sandwich for lunch and either nothing or something happy and healthy for dinner.

As of now, I'm only doing my grocery shopping at Publix, and only on the perimeter of the store. My house is full of vegetables and fruit and Amy's frozen meals (HUGE difference in taste. and nutrition. they are amazing.) and we're just doing what we can. I know what I find at Publix is better quality and is going to last longer, so it's worth the price difference (though I didn't find much in terms of fresh items). Shopping at Target just leads you to buy bad things. I don't know why. But it does.

So yes. Only healthy foods in my house. I definitely FEEL better. Well, not now, with the plague attacking me, but in general, when my immune system isn't crashing. I also got all natural beauty products and what a difference. I HATE lotion. I always feel icky when I put it on because it never seems to go away. I got some Burt's Bees natural lotion and what a difference. It leaves no nasty greasy feeling and my arms are happy. And I got their natural face wash and my face is so much happier.

So, slowly, oh so SO slowly, we're making changes. It's amazing how full a veggie sandwich can make you. I guess I didn't mention, but I'm not really eating meat right now. I mean, if I go out, I will, but I don't keep it in the house. I feel better when there's less meat and less processed foods in my diet, so I'm keeping that up.

Alright, it's bed time. Sorry, I didn't mean to go off on a tangent. But at least it made it less sad sally, right?

Right.

“There can be no happiness if the things we believe in are different from the things we do.”

Friday I sewed all day, then went to the gymnastics meet with Annie. She has fancy donor friends, so we had sweet seats 9 rows up and then we got to go to the shindig after to meet the athletes and eat. It was SO fun! Heather and Billy met us to go to the shindig. Such fun.

Saturday I had planned to sew all day, but I ended up running around to several stores til about 3. Oops. Then I sewed til 6, then went to Clay's for dinner. It was delicious! And I got to give him his Christmas present, which is going to be so much fun. Thennn I came home around 11 and drank some coffee then stayed up til 3 am to sew. I got a lot done!

Sunday I sewed all day, then Heather and I ran to the stores and had an adventure returning my steamer. Came back, made yummy stuffed peppers, then everyone came over for game night. We had WAY too much fun. I love my friends so very much. Went to sleep around 4, woke up at 8 this morning, so I'm pretty tired right now.

Today I sewed all day. And I got a lot done! I finished a top and cute out my ombre pants. I discovered that my super magic amazing lefty rotary cutter doesn't harm my folding table at all. It only took me 20 minutes to cut out the ombre chiffon. I was SO happy. Oh my goodness. AND I think I figured out how to sew my chiffon without puckering. HALLELUJAH!! Miracle. THEN Erin and Heather came over and we made dinner and watched tv. Then Heather made me watch The Guardian which was sad and terrible and I never want to watch it again.

Aaaanywho. Tomorrow I actually have to go to class! MKT300, then work, then Art of Giving Back. Super excited for that one. THEN Fashion, Inc. officer meeting, theennnn sleepy time. And I'll sew aaaaalll day Wednesday. Huzzah!!

It's amazing what a good day of sewing can do for you.

It's also amazing how not getting enough sleep two nights in a row can trigger crazytown in my brain. I've made the decision to stop trying so hard to plan my life, but the insanity is making me freak out. It's lovely. Oh well. Time for bed to make it go away.

I want to share sneak peeks of BFW stuff with you, dear blog, but I just can't. It is a competition, don't you know?

"Changing the plans that I’ve been setting on. I’m scared by the way that my life is getting gone."

Spent yesterday sewing. Got all of the chiffon pieces for the finale dress cut out and sewed up the top. The top went well. At 8, Heather and I went to the Well. I warned her beforehand that I have zero control over my emotions, which is extremely true these days. Sure enough, I lost it two songs in. I managed to get it back together and make it through the rest of the Well, but lost it again in the closing song. I don't know what it is about church songs that get me, but I had a near panic attack at the Christmas service back home. As I'm singing I just get these flashes of Marika and remember that I can't go visit her anymore and I just lose it.

Of course, I seem to just lose it at any point these days. It's really frustrating.

Today was my last first day of school. I had MKT300 at 9:30 with Erin. Jeremy Shelley is in my class, along with a few other players I couldn't identify. haha oops. It's cool, though. It should be an alright class. Then I worked 11-5. It wasn't bad. Graded lots of applications, did lots of budget work. Thennn I walked across the quad in the suddenly frigid air and came home. Watched Chopped, decided to do some sewing. TERRIBLE idea. Suddenly I hate everything. I mean everything. Nothing looks like me, nothing looks good even. SO I cried a little, called my mom, and decided to hang it up for the night and try again tomorrow. Oy, life. Kicking me in the face again.

SO tomorrow I will sew all day, then go to the gymnastics meet, which should be fun. Then I have lots of plans for the weekend, so I'm excited about that.

I said it's GREAT to be from ALABAMA.

Yesterday I woke up at 7:30, aka way too early. Met with a CSM lady to talk about entrepreneurship class options. Signed up for a Monday night class. I'm really hoping it's going to be good. I came home and worked on BFW until game time. I cut out most of my chiffon, which was definitely good progress. After that, I made Nagymama chicken, which is always a big hit. Lisa, Clay, Erin and Heather came over to watch the game. 

AND OH WHAT A GAME IT WAS.

Not only did we DESTROY lsu (one of the teams that I absolutely despise) but it was FUN to watch. Seeing Nick Saban smile and jump step after his gatorade bath was amazing. After the game we piled into Erin's car and headed to Academy. It was PACKED. The line wrapped all the way around the building, and that is a BIG building. We walked around just to enjoy the fun then we drove to Belk where there was no line and got our t-shirts. YAY.

Today I went to work. It's weird to be back, but I love my job. :) After that Heather came over and we made super awesome salads and caught up on life. I love my best friend. :)

Tomorrow begins my final semester of college. It's so surreal. Though I don't have class tomorrow, so I will spend my day sewing. Oh boy.

“I know of no more disagreeable sensation than to be left feeling generally angry without anybody in particular to be angry at.”

I really am going to try to blog more frequently.

Mom and I left Thursday night from Florida. We stopped for the night in Dothan. I love hotels. A lot. We made it up to T-town around 2:30 on Friday after dealing with Tux puking in the car. Twice. That was lovely. Clay came over to help carry allll my crap upstairs. Isn't he wonderful? Then Mom and I spent the rest of the night moving things and cleaning. Erin came over to help, then we met Clay and went to Hooligan's for dinner. Yummy. Spent the rest of the night cleaning.

Yesterday we got rid of a lot of excess furniture, rearranged eeeverything and bought a couch. We got to the Salvation Army thrift store 10 minutes before it close. Ha ha! Dr. Bob rescued us when it didn't fit in my car and picked it up with the pick up truck. Erin met us at my apartment and she, my mom and me shoved it up the stairs after great fighting with it. My apartment looks AMAZING. Mom and I went grocery shopping and I have yummy healthy things in the house. Huzzah!

Today we got up early and drove to Birmingham. I took Mom to the airport, then I headed to the Galleria in hopes of finding some nice outfits for BFW. Fail. Mall doesn't open til noon on Sundays. Oy. Went to Joann and Hancock, then to Starbucks, then finally the mall was open. Didn't find anything.

Then I headed to Workplay for the model run through. It was cool. I'm still in need of two models and it's not really clear how that is going to work out, but Corrinne and Erin WORKED IT. I love those two so much!

After that we went to a sort of sketch greek/mideastern place called Sinbad's for late lunch/dinner. It was yummy. Then I drove home, slept on my awesome new couch for an hour, then Clay came over and we watched Jeremiah Johnson. Haha. It was good. Thennn I sewed some, now it's time for bed because I have a 9 am meeting. Oy. Then I'll sew for a bit, then I'll make Nagymama chicken then everyone is coming over to watch the BCS National Championship.

ROLL TIDE!
