Distractions!

I finally finished my Star Trek skirt. For serious. It is amazing. I'll probably never wear it out of the house (maybe to a convention or something haha). It is both poofy, and seizure inducing. It makes me happy though, and for my first patterned sewing project in 15 years, it didn't turn out half bad. I did learn that I can't sew a straight hem to save my life. I also can't sew a straight line. But we're going to pretend that both those flaws give it more character!

Yeah. That.


So, there's that.

I also walked to the library today (3 miles, woot!) and got some books. I figured I'd try a new author, I have a hard time breaking out of my Sci-Fi favorites. It was nice to get some fresh air, out of the house, and hey... can't go wrong with the library and being surrounded by glorious books! It's too bad that the little guy gets cranky the moment I step in there. He wants to run around and touch all the things, so I push him down the aisle in his stroller and he's all "I'm king of the world!" groping madly at the shelves. Ah, I love this kid.

I'm not jogging today. So, fail there. The bruise on my belly is really bad, and I did not want to deal with that. I did walk today, and almost burned as many calories as I would have jogging, so it's all good. Sort of. Hopefully I can get my jog in tomorrow or Saturday.

Tomorrow I'm hoping to just relax and chill at home. Overall. This weekend we have to get Mother's Day squared away... I still don't know what I'm doing for my mom. Something. I still have a love/hate relationship with Mother's Day, but I'm looking forward to it more this year. I'm eating somewhere nice, and that's all I care about. Ha. There's a reason my weight loss has stalled...

Re-reading through this post... yeah, I don't seem like a complete and utter dork at all.
Not. in. the. least. Sci-fi/fantasy obsessed much? Me? Nooooo.

Oh yeah, our cat had his surgery today. He lost 7 teeth, but got to keep 4. Yeah, that's all he had. He's already acting like he feels a million times better, so that's fantastic! They gave him an antiseptic scrub after removing them, but he's also on another round of antibiotics as a precaution (because of his condition). They gave us a slight discount, so it was cheaper than it should have been, but at the same time it costs more than estimated because of how much work he needed done. But he's mending... so that's what matters.

I still don't know if we're going to do another cycle of treatment though. I think it would cut our finances closer than I'd like. A really wants to move forward with a final cycle, should this one fail... but I just don't know. Right now I'm sort of taking a "wait and see" approach. Ugh. It would be really nice if this cycle would work.

Just saying.

If I owned a skirt like that I would totally wear it out of the house all day every day. Forever. Amazing. If you're a dork, you're an utterly cool one and you've got company!

I love that skirt. Where did you get the fabric?

AnotherDreamer said...

Rebecca, I got it at JoAnn's- it was on sale recently, I got super excited about that lol.

Sadie, thanks! Dorkiness is always better with company :)

That skirt is FAB!!! Is it one of those circle patterns? But it looks like there's much more to it, with that piece of unpatterned fabric.

AnotherDreamer said...

It was a pattern from McCall's, it's got three layers and while the bottom one is asymmetrical the top two are tapered at the sides. Which is weird to describe, but I think you can figure out what I mean by the top photo lol :) I thought the funky pattern suited the fabric!
