unfortunately I tried this meme

Saw this on someone’s blog; sounds like it might be mildly entertaining… Type your first name preceded by the word “unfortunately” into Google and see what comes up. Here’s a few of mine:

Unfortunately Monique:

• doesn’t buy a word Fidel says.
• doesn’t speak English yet.
• was unable to make steady progress.
• had a hell of a day at the beauty shop.
• has no one for herself.
• is hiding the fact that she’s dying from her syphallis.
• learned about his past and drunkenly confronted him.
• ain’t on the list.

Hmmm… not quite as entertaining as it sounded. That’s unfortunate.

 

on a Tuesday morning

I had a little visitor this morning:

He looks fat & healthy.  I can boil up a mean batch of sugar water, and it shows. 

It’s the last full day of my vacation, and I’ve only just started working on my newest design.  (see, I’m not kidding when I say I’m a dandy procrastinator)  I pulled a piece of Picture This Plus fabric and some Gentle Art skeins… haven’t made any final color decisions yet, but I think I like how it’s shaping up so far:

I better get back to those TPS reports…

 

a case of the Mondays

For whatever reason, I’ve watched the movie Office Space 4 times in the last 2 weeks.  I love that movie and it’s been running a lot on IFC lately.  It’s a good movie to stitch to.

My lunch smiled at me today and that made me happy :)

 

first stitches!

This is the very first piece I ever stitched! I was about 6 years old when my grandmother taught me how to use a needle, and with the exception of a short break during my late teens/early twenties, I haven’t stopped yet. Only my backs look much better now, and I try to avoid French knots. I didn’t even know this was still floating around, but my parents recently unearthed it from a box in their basement. I think I’ll clean it up and frame it. It’s not often we get the chance to have such a visible reminder of where we’ve been and how far we’ve come.

note: I wrote this a few years ago and I still have not framed this thing.
