TGIF - monkeys, school, and breaking glass
The Bride was turned over without any problems. To kill time this morning I hit a craft store to find out if there were any pretty appliques in there and ended up spending about $5 on some tiny fake flower, embroidery floss, and scissors to make the bride a bouquet. What bride is complete without one? It took me all of 10 minutes to make while I waited for the fabric store on the other side of the parking lot to open up for the day.
I managed to score an awesome deal on 2 yards of gorgeous satin Asian-themed fabrics to make 2 monkey-sized kimonos and 2 yards of a matching fabric for jubans and obis. Sometime next week I should get the socks (or even tomorrow, depending on how fast mail is running from NC this week) and can get started on the first of the two geisha monkeys I’m making (one for myself and one for Sarah, but Sarah gets hers first). By good deal, I mean that I managed to get what was easily at least $50 worth of fabric, a few spools of thread and a spool of ribbon for $30.
Tomorrow we’re supposed to go to Mom’s for lunch and to assist with the removal and installation of the giant bay window in the front of their house. That should be fun.
School starts on Tuesday. I’m hitting that nervous point, and now I’m fretting over shit I haven’t been nervous about since the first week I was at college in ‘95. What if I go to the wrong place? What if I can’t find my classroom? What if no one likes me? I picked up a small notebook today to right down assignment stuff in, because I know how I get when it comes to homework. As it stands, the current plan for my days will consist of school in the morning, lunch, and then homework before I pick up Eddie at work at 4pm. He’s already agreed to quiz me and leave me alone in the bedroom if I need study while he’s at home with me.
