Tuesday, what is coming on?

 I am definitely winging it. I also have a cold coming on, oh drat.  Hopefully won't be a bad one.  Just that scratchy feeling in the back of your throat and a dull headache above the eyes. Like maybe your sinuses are a bit angry. I will ignore it for as long as I can, like most things that affect my life.

I did a good bit of sewing yesterday and started on that wedding dress that I will work on today. It is a doozy, but I will figure it out. I always do. 

Went to Sissies last night for dinner and then stayed a few hours and worked on a jig saw. Then home to practice the piano and embroider for an hour or so. Trying to make myself use more of my time wisely to make a few homemade gifts for Christmas. As in Kim does not need to mindlessly watch Netflix, when she can be doing something while she watches Netflix. 

Sissie is making potato soup for dinner so I will go down there and eat and work on the puzzle we started last night. I see a routine starting for these long winter evenings.

I have now had 5 no spend days in a row, and I am trying hard not to go into any stores.  I don't need anything. Tomorrow I will pick up a few loss leaders at Albertsons and that will be the extent of my shopping for the week. It will be a very small haul.

I have 4 pairs of pants to hem; I would like to get them done today after I have done what I can on this wedding dress. I have a fitting tomorrow and there will probably be a couple more as I am creating sleeves for a strapless dress.  Always a challenge. But I do love a challenge. 

I am craving cinnamon rolls, might be tempted to knock out a batch of those later. Anne talked about coffee and cinnamon rolls on her trip, and I can't get that out of my mind. Yum.

I woke out of a sound sleep at 5:15 this morning watched TV for an hour and then back to sleep.  I am blaming the time change or coughing not sure which. 

Well, I am off to get this wedding dress ready for the first fitting. Hurrah!

What excitement is happening in your neck of the woods? Anything? Anything better than me? Come on almost anything is better than me.

Kim needs to live vicariously through you right now.  It is a need not a want.

God is good

Monday, Light a fire under Kim edition

 Happy thoughts!!!!

Well, I spent three days doing absolutely nothing. It isn't that I didn't have anything to do it is just that I chose to do nothing.  Oh, I did pay bills and that was abysmal. To the point that I had to scrape together every penny I could find to get the extra paid on the mortgage.  Then realized I was flat broke and I have to work to get future things paid.  What a bummer. You mean I will have to work? Why?

Nothing like a little low coffer to get one's butt in gear. By the third day of doing nothing I realized that it was not making me happy. So, I made a pot of chili. Signe' took some home to her family and Sissie took home some for them. I also finished a set of embroidered pillowcases and started another set. I mean really, I have so many plans in my head and then I don't do anything about said plans. Something has to change.

I have done well on the no spend. As in I have not spent any money for the last three days nor will I spend any today.  This is good as the checking account cannot stand any deductions at this time. I see no reason to have to buy anything in the near future. I do need 300 before the end of the week for the window washer and the piano teacher, so I must get to work. How am I going to do this?

With the piles!  Yes, the piles of sewing I have sitting all around me.

1. hem two pair police pants

2. hem two pairs of police pants

3. alter shirt sleeves

4, hem 2 curtains

5. hem three pairs of pants

6. hem 5 pairs of pants

7. alter a party dress and a man's suit

8. fix a hat

9. start on a wedding dress. STARTED

Let's get to it. Enough of this sitting around.  Gong to Sissies for dinner and maybe another puzzle this evening. But first I sew!!!!!

I am so hard to motivate at times. Seeing how little I have left in the checking account is always a strong motivator. Still need to pay a few smaller bills, might get that done today or maybe tomorrow.

Kim is now going to get to work.

Yes, she is,

For sure...

God is good

Kim is lazy
