busy. well, busier than i have been.

got a couple of things done today. finally. i made an appointment to get my brakes done on wednesday (kept putting it off for some reason...bad alicia), post office (happy birthday margaret!), blood tests, home depot, michaels, and joanns. i wanted to take advantage of my 40% joanns coupon so i got a grommet-er. i dont know if thats a real word. is a puncher thing that puts grommets in things. i'll post a picture when i finally use it. i'm excited for it...random things might end up grommetted now. :D

i even went outside my comfort zone and went to a new teriyaki place for dinner. it was takeout, but still...its a big step for me to go to a new place. especially by myself. silly i know, but still...

i have decided i'm dangerous when i'm tired and unmotivated. i'm not feeling good enough to actually sew anything, so instead i shop for new fabrics and things to use for when i finally do feel motivated. i want to try my hand at using sashiko thread (its a japanese embroidery thread), but i had to buy some first. tried etsy: nothing. ebay: ehhh....didn't really like what i saw. so instead i went to purl. and i got suckered in. they have BEAUTIFUL fabrics. and UNIQUE things. besides the thread, i finally got to buy some japanese fabric. i love the patterns on japanese fabric. i mostly bought sale stuff (only way i can afford $27/yard fabrics)...but i did splurge on some linen (haven't ever used it before). so, i'm excited. i'll post pictures when i get it. i'm hoping to feel good enough to finally start using some of my fabrics soon!

tomorrow i need to clean out and clean up the refrigerator. (i live on the wild side, i know.) thats my only rule before i go grocery shopping. something spilled and its just gross. plus i haven't cleaned it since i moved in 18 months ago. yikes.

but its finally my friday night and i think i'm going to break out monk season 7 and watch a little before i go to bed. thrills and chills, a mile a minute.


its really hard to take non-blurry pix when holding a squirmy guinea pig. say hello to erma!
