My Little Fashion Diva
Cabbage Patch is so darn cute, she's wearing this cute little orange dress (had slices of oranges all over it... pictures of them, not for real) and she just had to put on a purple sleevless shirt over it. hehehehe... She's making 'bold' fashion statements today. All she needs to complete the outfit is the red and black clown shoes the kids covet so much.

Good Bye Little Boy...
Today is kind of a sad day. My nephew left for the Army this morning. I can't believe he's even old enough to be IN the Army. But he is, he's 18. *sigh* I am sad for myself mostly, I haven't had a lot of time with him as he's grown up (complicated story). He's been so busy with getting ready to go off to the Army that I haven't seen him in over a month, and I won't see him for a while. I'm going to miss him. I'm so proud of him. I know that the next time I see him the sweet little boy that he was will be gone, replaced by a man. He's not even my child and I'm all teary eyed.

3XThursday : 05/08/03 :640k should be enough for anybody (thanks Jake for the questions)
Hypothetically speaking imagine if some one really important like Bill Gates, The Pope or Adam West put you in charge of improving the personal computer.
1. What is the biggest problem with the current personal computer that you would address first?
2. Who would you pick to help you improve the PC? Who would you like to have in your corner to help you make the decisions
3. How would you change the hardware? What would the PC of the future look like and how would people use it?
Awwww crap Jake, I don't have a fucking clue. I'm not a total moron when it comes to this stuff, but I'm not that far off. Next week can we have some questions not about computers or games (I know, I know, your site is mainly games). How about something environmental or something about our high school days (cringe) or sex. Sex is good. How about a 3XThursday with sex questions. If you need some ideas, just let me know. ;o)

It's Magic! Ta-Da!
Super Girl is on a magic kick. She was down here with a scarf putting it over a stack of towels fresh from the dryer. She would spread the scarf over the towels then babble some 'magic' words and pull the scarf saying 'Ta-Da! Magic!' The best part was when she took a moment to get prepared for her trick by saying 'hold on...' then putting a fancy diaper cover on her head and saying 'A rabbit!' I laughed. After 4 or so times of her doing the towel trick, I told her she needed to go learn some new tricks. She trotted off upstairs, I could hear her at one moment as she covered some shoes and turned them into.... SHOES! Woohoo! She cracks me up.

Angry Day Wednesday
Yeah I know it's Thursday, but yesterday was not the best of days. I'm still pissed about it. The court hearing didn't go as I would have liked. Things dragging out for another fucking month. Luckily it didn't take more than about an hour and a half this time, and with the lawyer costing us about $250 an hour, that's a deal. I was so pissed off yesterday I could not write about anything, I could barely concentrate (I really need my crazy pills these days) - that on top of having a sinus infection put me in a tremendously foul mood. I'm tired of being fucked with, I'm tired of being told I have to do this and that, doing it and then being told it's not enough (and shit I thought my childhood sucked for that crap). I'm tired of living under a microscope. We go back to court on June 18th and if they are not going to close this, we will go before the judge and have him decide for himself. We are getting fucked over and it's costing us outrageous amounts of legal fees (and quite frankly if I'm going to pay to be fucked over, I want to enjoy it - and for the money we have shelled out, we should have really really really enjoyed ourselves).
Now I'm going to go wash the sofa coushin covers (I have a lot of excess energy when I'm upset... and a very clean house).

Catching Up
Whew... I've been so busy lately and I've been having sinus headaches - I think I have a god-awful sinus infection starting up now - Spring in Texas is so hard on my sinuses. Right now we are under a sever weather watch, but no rain yet. I'm praying for rain. With rain comes relief for me.
Anyway enough whineing... Here's what's been going on.
Fish Seeing Spots
Shortly after the accidental death of Spike and her boyfriend I had purchased replacement fish. A few days pass and I notice that the fish are starting to have small white spots on their fins and all. DAMN IT! My fish had Ick, a nasty parasite that infects the whole tank and if not treated will kill the fish. Fortunately it's easy to treat. I sent hubby to the store to get fish medicine. But I was irritated by the fish having this - My new fish came from PetSmart so I would have thought they would be healthy. My mistake. I really should have quaranteined them before adding them (I've since learned this by some reading). Anyway, 3 days of medicine that turned the water a cool shade of blue and the fish are healthy, but we did suffer 2 casualties (one was the fish I belive was the carrier of the dastardly parasite). I think I may have to label my aquarium as the TANK OF DOOM if I keep killing off goldfish. I also learned in my reading that live plants in an aquarium are treated as salad by goldfish. Ohhhhhh well that explains why the plants were getting all tore up! So no more plants, no unquarantined fish in my tank.... Shouldn't take but a few more fish before I have this aquarium stuff down. ;o)
Making Of The Dress
D came over Friday afternoon to be here for fittings and help with the construction of the dress. I had planned to start on the dress earlier that day, but I was waiting on an inspection - which NEVER happened! Once again they failed to show or even call - sheesh. (thankfully all that bull shit should be over after tomorrow) So we didn't even get started on the rest of the dress until after 6 pm. Part way through cutting out the rest of the pieces, I realized we were short a couple of yards of fabric and would have to get creative to get the rest of the pieces cut out. We did some discussing and all for a bit and came up with a plan of action that worked. Cutting out the pattern was the hardest part - it made my back ache to sit on the floor working on it. Anyway - we finished up EVERYTHING on the dress - even the grommets on the bodice - at 6 am! So needless to say I didn't work on Saturday. D talked me into going to the renaissance faire with her. We headed to her house, I called my boss and we slept from 7 am until 11 am, then went to the faire. D looked just lovely in the dress, we had a great time.
Well enough for now... think my medicine is starting to work...still have a headache but now I'm making a lot more typos.... woohoo! fun stuff.

Busy, Busy, Busy
Damn... I've been so damn busy. I finished my sister's ren faire dress. It turned out damn nice. I do have to make a few alterations to it, but she is thrilled with it (and has worn it twice so far!) pictures to be posted later. I finished it up at 6 am on Saturday morning! We had a few issues to work out, for one we had inadvertantly gotten not quite enough fabric by about 2 yards - the actual sewing of the dress didn't take that long. A few creative things were done to make it all perfect. She looked absolutly lovely in her dress. I did some beading on the front of the dress that is very nice.
She needs another court dress for next weekend, so I may be working my ass off the later part of this week to get another one for her, this time we have to be particularly creative since neither of us has the bling bling to get more fabric (she spent a sizable chunk of $$$ to get the fabric and all for this dress - all in all it was still quite a bargain). I would work the ENTIRE week on (not that I need that much time) but I have my final (God willing) court hearing on Wednesday so I need to make sure the house is read for unexpected visitors - who incidentally did NOT show up on Friday as scheduled (eyes rolling up in head).
Well I need to wrap up for the moment. I'm currently taking my defensive driving class on line and I'm at one of the mandated 12 minute breaks. *sigh* I'm about half way through (at least I think so). I could kick myself for waiting untill the last freaking minute (had to have it done TODAY). Back later.
