Wednesday, Keep going


 I actually don't think this lady is ugly, she kind of looks like me with glasses and short hair. But isn't it true? You get to the point that you just don't really care.  It is a wonderful point in life. The days of not going into a convenience store unless full made up are over, my friend.  It is a true freedom.

I was able to get a wedding dress and two very difficult bridesmaid dresses done yesterday, only to find out bride can't be here until next Monday. Which is why she was nagging me last week..... I would have worked on other things, just sayin.

I have ironing strewn all over the family room, in piles.  The board is set up. I am hoping this is an inspiration. SO far it is not working. I was pulling the dry bedding off the line last night at dusk and it is on the floor of the bedroom.  I slept on the sofa.  Yes, that is my life right now. 

Just made myself a good breakfast of bacon, eggs, and toast.  Could not finish it.  Hoping this would give me some oomph to do something today. That is not working either.

I did get three more bills paid late yesterday afternoon.  So now it is just a couple that have not come in yet and those will go out the day they come in, hurrah!

I need to hem two burgundy bridesmaid dresses today and start on the three wedding dresses for the one bride.  Not looking forward to that. Also have a couple of piles I need done by Friday.

I have 5 items that need zippers and will get to those after I get the brides stuff done. Then just one other dress for October, plus a few odds and ends. 

I would like to get a few things sewn for Christmas, but so far have not worked out that schedule. May never work out that schedule.

I found a jar of jam had overturned in the back of the fridge and had seeped out all the way to the front.  I had to pull everything out and clean stuck jam off of everything on the shelf. The whole process soured my attitude for the day, and I need to shake that off. I mean really. This is not a crisis Kim, it is an annoyance, kind of like Sissie when she is harping on you to clean your fridge.  Oh yeah, she was harping at me to clean my fridge.

My list for the day:

1. avoid the sofa
2. clean up kitchen (I am a slob)
3. put sheets on bed and put laundry away that was on the line
4. hem a dress
5. hem a dress
6. fix the lining of a dress for a bride (grooms dinner dress)
7. alter a reception dress for bride (same one as above)
8. rip sleeves and make a pattern for a redo of a wedding dress, plus take in and hem (pain in the A$$)
9. shorten wedding cape and hem
I will be lucky to avoid the sofa.

Have a great and productive day

God is good

Kim

  2. I took the hit, even though I hardly used it, to clean out all the shelves and oozy yuck in the family cabin refrigerator. BBW sauce, salad dressings, jams, and other sticky hardened messes wiped away. Have I done my own? Of course not.

  3. I like the way you wrote pain in the a$$. You are learning!
    I don't think for a minute that you are a slob. Overwhelmed sometimes? Maybe
    As for not caring, I went to ThePig the other day in bermuda shorts, no one was harmed, and the sun came out the next day. I was amazed

  4. Sometimes I have to put the brakes on when wanting to get on the sofa too. 😂 some days the sofa wins. 😁

  5. Refrigerator emergencies are enough to ruin any ones mood. A spilled cup of milk on the top shelf that ran all way under the bottom crisper drawer still haunts me. Ugh! I feel your pain!

  6. I would be telling that bride I am way too busy in the shop, can't store this stuff another 5 days and to come ASAP.

    Dang girl, make that bed!

  7. Oh man, the fridge the fridge the fridge. I took the plunge and cleaned ours top to bottom a few weeks ago for the first time in...way too long.

    1. I know it just taunts you every time you open the darn thing.

  8. I was trying to put something in the refrigerator. I was disgusted with the state of the shelf. Tommy said, "oh, the blood is dried so it is okay to put the food in there." Ahhh, gross! He could not understand the problem! Dried blood is okay.

    He brought me a sticky jar of jelly. I hate to get my hands sticky. He said it was that way when he put it in refrigerator, like that made it okay. So, he took it out and handed it to me.

    Since I cannot get down to take things out, I need to pay someone to clean the refrigerator out.

  9. If I was close I would come clean out the fridge. But would I do mine? Probably not!
